He wouldn't be Jon if he didn't have shitty luck. :)

(That figure didn't reflect his real contribution; he did a lot of softening up guys with more than 3 health in those missions, but someone else got most of the kills. He'd set 'em up, Rei or DJ would knock 'em down.)

Also, I will note that in the missions since that screenshot was taken, Shinji has proven to be absolutely lethal in clutch situations... with his sidearm. Boy's a god damn gunslinger. You move anywhere anyone in the squad can see you while he's on pistol overwatch, you die. In one mission he critted a full-health Sectoid from a rooftop half a block away. It was friggin' beautiful.

It's a toss-up, in my current play so far, which has been the most satisfying single moment: that one, the one where the Stun Lancer learned too late that maybe charging a man with a chaingun wasn't a great plan, or the time Asuka wiped out an entire reinforcement squad she couldn't see with a blind grenade throw on their in-turn, because they hadn't bothered to move from where the transport dropped them in the cutscene.

"Man alive, these things are stupid."

When she threw the grenade, Asuka shouted, "Hier! Fangen Sie!" - which I think is a very polite way of saying, "Here! Catch!" Nice touch.
