Actually, they can't.

They just have an insane amount of TUs and a 1TU melee attack. If you watch a chrysalid attack on a tank you'll see that there's actually a lot of the little 'psi or melee attack' sprites (and sound effects) in rapid succession.

Same with powered armor. They don't punch through with a single hit, they just attack so often that it makes no difference, they will kill the target eventually.

Frankly, with their supercharged metabolism, Altered Time Rate might be a good advantage to give them...
