Xenomorph Tier List Discussion

[DefinitelyAlone0309]

It's time to move Burrower and Carrier both to B tier. With the loss of hugger combat (the true form of combat hugging, which is running up to a dude who's still up and awake and slap a hugger on his face), and anti body block, Carrier is mostly relegated to traps and comboing with another caste; the latter can be hard to find on the battlefield outside of queen screech.

Burrower is now a force to be reckon with, only needing a Boost Plasma mutation to start hammering out traps after traps (which it can fill on its own damn self). For me personally, it's Acid > Gas > Hugger.

carrier>>>>>>>>>all

incapaciting marines with one click is dope.

Which rock have you been living under? Carrier can only infect marines that are downed. Not standing ones. Aka rip carrier

>>>>>>ignoring the existence of tackle

Tackling means risking RNG. Tackling means wasting more time on a target.

With marine's weapons being as strong as they are, you can only afford to tackle so much before you either retreat or get dunked.

>>>>>>ignoring the existence of tackle

Carriers are slow, aren't tanky. The tackle chance isn't that high, even with frenzy as you need to wait till elder+ for it to be potent. Literally you're mostly stuck relying completely on other xenos.

[Madventurer]

I do have to say, Lurker is not quite top-tier IMO.

Sure, they're fantastic in 1v1 and against groups, but when you have to contribute to a siege or frontal fight, the combat ability goes down by a notch or three.
So not quite great in any situation.

So I have a new Tier list
G
Xenos

If you enjoy playing as xenos don't. Because xenos are bad now. Like stupid bad. The only mildly good xeno is the Queen and I can't wait for screech to be removed to prevent 'one click kill' that the devs seem to hate.

Well not shotguns but we don't talk about that.

Or burst.

Or CAS.

Or SADAR

Or boiler's gas at direct hit, or combined with any kind of stun.

Besides, what weapon available to marines can one shot burst a beno besides larvae?

Imagine comparing a screen wide stun to an airstrike that you can hear from a mile away, a weapon that only kills you if it's a direct hit, and...Burst? what?
