Evolves From: Predalien Larva Evolves To: N/A Role: You are the ultimate hunter, listen to the queen and exterminate the headhunters and talls from your rightful hunting grounds. Guides: No External Guides. |
Overview
You are the Predalien, considered the ultimate lifeform composed of the Yautja DNA with the Aliens DNA, creating a strong beast. Kill talls and headhunters to increase your total strength. Headhunters will do their best to terminate you, seeing you as an abomination of a creature, not worthy of life, show them they're wrong.
You are the fruition of the hive's great work to both impregnate a headhunter, and manage to restrain it, this means you are something the hive will want to keep around, after all, if you die, all the work your hive did to make you will be wasted.
Playing a Predalien
Predaliens start off rather flimsy, relying on the tankier members of the hive to soak up damage while the Predaliens secures kills and grows in strength. Remember, you deal increased damage to Yautja, and a majority of your abilities will either only work on Yautja, or have increased effects on them. You are not immune to flames or heavy explosions and have low health.
You have a leap ability, useful for avoiding bullets and Yautja weaponry. Your leap will not stun your opponent, and has a short cooldown, use this to evade enemies while sneaking in slashes.
Your roar can be used to both bring yautja out of their cloak as they fire at you as well as giving you and your allies a damage and speed boost, allowing you and other xenos to close in and cause severe damage and finish them off.
Your devastate ability can be used to cause severe damage to a singled out opponent, rooting them in place to near guarantee they take massive amounts of damage, even being moved will not stop this ability. Be warned, due to this and its high plasma cost, you might be put in a situation where you can be surrounded and killed, so only use this ability when you are sure it will work.
Remember, with each kill you gain your damage will also increase, capping off at 10 kills. This means you start off weak, but as you gain kills you will become stronger. You are still a member of the alien hive, work together with them and listen to your queen.

 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.

Predalien reminder
Remember, headhunters will hate you and your existence, and will use every ability in their arsenal to end your existence, they might even work together with marines to kill you. Your abilities work better on headhunters, dealing increased damage to them. If you're being hit from an unknown source, use your roar, it might just be a pesky cloaked headhunter trying to kill you.
