ALIEN - FINAL TIER
King	Evolves From: N/A Evolves To: N/A Role: Annihilate the marines, break their lines and crush their defenses. Use your abilities to trample marines or to slam into their barricades destroying them instantly. Provide buffs with your defensive aura. End the round. Guides: No External Guides.

Overview

The King. Your job is very simple but decisive. Using your powerful abilities crush the marine's defenses in coordination with the rest of the hive. Your premier combat combo is that of trample and destroy. Your destroy ability will let you smash through barricades destroying them instantly in a AoE. You can then knock down marines with your passive trample. The king is at its most dangerous when combined with the queen's screech which allows for a breakthrough on the marines. Alone you are the most powerful siege breaker caste but still vulnerable to being overwhelmed.

Make sure you have the ability to get voted in, set to " Yes ". It is automatically set to " No ".

The king is purchasable when two conditions are met. Two pylon sites must be controlled for at least ten minutes and the round must have progressed past the two hour mark. The king will then be purchasable as a Hive buff. Upon purchase it begins a vote that all hive members will be eligible for excluding queen and hive members who have not opted in. Once the vote has completed the king cocoon will form near the hive core. The cocoon takes ten minutes to finish the creation of the king. Should a pylon be lost during the process the cocoon will be destroyed and put on a ten minute purchase cool down. Should the hive succeed in holding both pylons for ten minutes the king will arise.

Tactics

You are very tough but not immune to being swarmed. Sticking to the hive is the main path to success while playing the King. Marines will not hesitate to chase down a lone King.

Your abilities are very powerful if combined with a queen screech. Should the queen not be an option for cooperation, Ravengers are effective due to their ability to tear apart undefended marines. Clear the way for their claws!

The Bulwark of the Hive ability can save lives if used correctly. You are capable of stopping instantaneous death as damage per hit maxes out to 10% of a Xeno's total health. It affects all hive members in a six tile range. Use it wisely for it possesses a 45 second cooldown.
