General Information
The simple Facehugger is the weakest of all Xenomorphs having 35 HP and slowly loosing health while off weeds. It’s primary function is to infect new hosts with its ambush abilities or working in conjunction with other Xenomorphs. While fast it is extremely fragile and unable take more then one or two shots from a marines rifle.
Playing Hugger
Playing a Facehugger is all about ambushing. It has the ability to hide under tables and other objects using the hide ability which can be toggled in the top left similar to runner or larva. To infect a marine be one tile away and pounce(or click on their sprite) on them being any further will simply knock the marine down and stun them for a few seconds which can be useful for infecting. It is worth noting that pounce takes a few seconds to wind up leaving you vulnerable to missing your target so it’s best to use on downed to slow targets. Upon infecting your respawn timer will be reset allowing you to respawn again.
