Playing as a Warrior
Playing as the Warrior means that you will want to divide and conquer any marines you come across in small groups, try to single out a marine in the marine group that you come across and then use your Punch ability to effectively disable/heavily injure your chosen target and then use your Fling ability away from the group to separate them. If successful, you'll be able to drag your now injured prey back to the hive/nearby nesting area to help increase the xenos numbers, or you can kill them immediately and return to the attack.
Note that as a Warrior, you will have a smaller armor pool than you did as a Defender, making it easier for you to be killed, especially while dragging targets off after using Lunge.
Abilities
Unique passive ability: If you highlight a specific limb then grab a marine, and upgrade the grab (click 
or press Z in hotkey mode), after a decent chunk of time you will rip off that specific limb. Both passive and aggressive grabs can be resisted and moving will abort the de-limbing mechanic.
| Abilities: | Description: |
|---|---|
| Brawler | PASSIVE: Your slashes heal for (7+1 per enemy within 3 tiles, up to 2) percent of your missing health with a minimum of 20 health gained and a maximum of 40. There is a visual and chat cue for when you gain extra health per marine. Your slash also reduces cooldowns on your on your punch, fling, and lunge abilities by .2 seconds. |
Rest |
Used to rest and get up. Xenos heal faster when resting on weeds. |
Regurgitate |
To devour, grab a host with Ctrl + Click or
Grab intent (3 in hotkey mode) then click yourself, standstill. To stop the host from getting up and running away, you can switch to an empty hand (X in hotkey mode) and keep tackling them using Disarm intent (2 in hotkey mode) when you are devouring them. Xenos with devoured humans inside them can not vent crawl but Xenos with devoured monkeys can. Hosts with boot knives can injure the Xenomorph they are inside if they are conscious. Using this ability with a host devoured will regurgitate them back up, giving a moderate stun. (Edit this template) |
Fling |
Flings the target 3 tiles backwards and damages them, gives a short stun, and deals extra damage if they hit something. Click on your target with the middle mouse button to use the ability.
Costs 0 plasma, cooldown: 7 seconds. |
Lunge |
Lunges towards the target and puts them into a choke hold, giving aggressive grab level and stunning them for a long duration, depending on the target's skills. Click on your target with the middle mouse button to use the ability. Works on targets around corners, with a range of 4 tiles.
Dragging the target will incur a heavy movement penalty, leaving the warrior vulnerable to attack by others.
|
Punch |
Punches the target, dealing a hefty amount of damage as well as slowing the target for a few seconds and knocking them back 1 tile. Click on your target with the middle mouse button to use the ability.
Costs 0 plasma, cooldown: 5 seconds. |
 Tail Stab |
Activating tail stab will begin a windup of one second, and upon conclusion, will enable you to launch a two tile attack that deals 1.2 times your maximum melee damage. It requires a direct click on the targets sprite, however, if it is missed, it only incurs a standard slash delay. Additionally, it will always hit the targeted limb.
|
Warrior Tactics
Lunge is a powerful tool that can almost guarantee a capture/kill if you play your cards right. Do not attempt this on a group of marines by yourself. It is best around corners where you can see marines and easily dash out and lunge. When in CQC around 1-2 tile wide corners/corridors with other aliens try to use your lunge ability to capture any marines that try to get a shot off into the crowd of xenos. When you see someone approaching get ready. When they are close enough, lunge and drag them back while tackling them - remember that dragging the target will slow you down, leaving you vulnerable to attack. If you start to lose a lot of health in attempting this remember: You cannot capture hosts if you are dead. If you have to stop, then draw back and heal. Get a slash or punch off if you can to weaken them for another encounter.
Warrior Evolution
The Warrior can Evolve into the following castes:
- The Praetorian is a more all-rounder evolution, It has extreme versatility with its role, It can either become similar to a Spitter, With a ranged playstyle or become a frontline caste, All depending on the strain. It has more health and melee attack coupled with surprising nimbleness.
- The Crusher takes a unique path, foregoing mobility and direct offensive power in exchange for becoming a tank caste, gaining an armored crest capable of easily absorbing large amounts of punishment, and a massive health and armor pool. It also gains the ability to Charge, a slow-winding but eventually fast and unstoppable assault, knocking aside and wounding anyone in your path. You will also gain the ability to Stomp, allowing you to smash into the ground to viciously wound any downed target under you, and inflict a short AoE stun and slowdown to nearby targets.
