Extra HP is good, but when you don't get hit in the first place, the extra HP means nothing.

Cheers.
Yep.

Just today, I got caught with my Assult out in the open next to a Cyberdisc. Now, if her was Wearing Titan he would likely still die from being Critted. But with the new Ghost armour I just told him to turn invisible.

If I ever replay my Impossible difficulty game, I would definitely get me some ghost armour. What is important is that the Ghost armour removed RNG factors; it can make you untargetable for one round, effectively perfect defence, or 100% crit, which is valuable for any character against highly armoured enemies. No chance of failure is always good.

And the 4 uses... That's more than enough. By the time I use it four times all the aliens are either dead, or all my team members are dead. Either way it is more than enough.
