Does will affect your psi soldiers’ attacks in XCOM 2

xcom-2

In XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within, the success of your psi soldiers psi attacks depended in part on how high their will stat was.

In the new XCOM 2, the will stat increases your soldiers' resistance to psi attacks, just like it did in the previous game.

However, there is now a new "psi" stat on psi soldiers, in addition to the will stat. Does "will" still influence the effectiveness of your psi attacks, or does it only determine psi defense, while the new psi stat alone improves psi attacks?

According to XCOM Wiki:

The success of psi attacks is only affected by the operative's Psi stat - which is increased by using upgraded Psi Amps - and not Will. Will is only a factor when defending against psi attacks, and improving Will (such as through a Personal Combat Sim) will not increase the operative's Psi rating. In short: Psi = Offense, Will = Defense.
