"The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility...its purity. It is the apex predator...too bad the player behind it is terrible at it."
The Alien (A.K.A. Xenomorph) is a soul crushing antagonist role as you either survive to be a marine and xeno player or become the evil xeno only main. Beware as this role will make you forever salty and make you hate everyone.
You will not do well, you will die and die until you learn to be good or go back to being a marine main. - If you are looking for the more serious version, check here
Starting Out
In the beginning, you are a little larva and then you either die to survivors for rushing or evolve and later die to marines. Yes the larva doesn't deserve its own spotlight because its an ugly noodle.
Tier 1 Evolution
| Job | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
 Drone |
Never weed the colony, never emit any pheros. Never evolve to the queen when its needed. Become Hivelord's and Burrower's plasma slave. Only actually build special structures ever since build distribution made you useless, build your own personal tank with the moving walls and pretend to be useful with it. Healer strain: Never actually heal and only use the upgraded pheros to dunk on marines with your strong frenzy tackle shenanigans. Sometimes plants the healing fruit. Gardener strain: Rarely use resin surge, plant only the shield and healing fruit. Cry when nobody actually takes them. | Weed Simulator |
 Sentinel |
Make marines salty every time you neuro them until they are neuro slept. Scatterspitter strain: Become the shotgun version and manage to hit all your spits and instantly knockdown marines to generate even more salt. Die to survivors because you don't know that they are neuro immune. | Neuro Simulator |
 Defender |
Spin around to knockback marines,accidentally activate fortify and die as you cannot move away. Steelcrest strain: Be tankier than the crusher (holy shit) and slow down the APC/Tank to a halt. | Tank Simulator |
 Runner |
Live fast and die fast. Pounce on a Colony Synthetic and die as you get bodyslammed. Die to a scout from 2 throwing knives. Run into a group of marines and pretend you are slashing them as they all FF each other. Die to a mid-air pounce PB. Acider strain: Wait 1 hour for 1000 acid stacks, nuke the entire FOB/frontline and respawn to do it again. Slash predators and the synthetics for free acid stacks but then die because you annoyed the preds too much. | Death Speedrun%Any |
Tier 2 Evolution
| Job | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
 Spitter |
Spit at fuel tanks and die to them, be annoying to the marines as they cannot hit you due to your speed. Still die because you overextend and don't manage to reset your speed ability. Annoy the synthetic as you melt them to death and they cannot fight you as you can simply stay out of their melee range. | Anti-Synth |
 Lurker |
Cloak and kill lone marines, find your meta lurker squad to destroy the colony as the rest of the xenos take care of the frontline. Somehow get on the dropship and then kill 90% of the Almayer population alone. | Ravager waiting simulator |
 Warrior |
Lunge and Fling marines across the screen and into the ASRS pit. Punch them for a guaranteed bone break as they try to flee, die to slugs. Boxer strain: Be annoying as fuck, be a macro god and kill everyone (even predators) in less than 5 seconds as you build up minimum of 9 stacks for the KO, resist enemy queen screeches and every single xeno stun/root, resist grenades and slugs and even rockets. Die for being too greedy as you either get triple shotgun PB'd or slashed 5 times by an enemy T3 xenomorph. Get an army of tamed/corrupted boxers to surround the enemy queen and punch her to death as she cannot do anything. | Macro Spam Simulator |
 Hivelord |
Spam thick walls until you get bwoinked, outspeed a runner while on weeds, perma tackle marines in 2 hits. Never actually build pylons or any of the special structures as you inevitably die to CAS and/or OB. Resin Whisperer strain: never actually build any defenses, only builds reflective walls and acid pillars for the memes as the entire hive complains about the lack of walls and pylons (despite build distribution existing) If Offensive structures are somehow bought, only builds acid grenades to use for themselves and never builds the shield pillar. | Perma-tackle God |
 Burrower |
Burrow literally everywhere, even space until it gets patched. Make secret FOB tunnels and watch as the entire hive stealth hijacks the dropship. Place traps everywhere to the point that marines OB your hell arena. Burrow ontop of marines and use your tremor tackle combo to capture them without the marine being able to do anything. Tremor the marines as you melt their weapons and watch them salt. Somehow get shipside and watch as the entire shipside crew tries to kill you but that never happens and you manage to either wait for the hive to come to you or you end up the last person being alive. Delay the round to infinity until an intelligent marine brings slugs to the table and stunlocks you to death. | Shipside's worst nightmare |
 Carrier |
Do nothing for the entire round because xenos aren't trying to capture anyone. Die to the marines while holding eggs as they create the corrupted hive thanks to you. Shaman strain: Only uses the shield/healing ability, never manages to obtain the maximum possible effect since all the xenos are never together except during hijack. | Shaman Only |
Tier 3 Evolution
| Job | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
 Praetorian |
Change into a strain because the original is borderline mediocre. Vanguard strain: Block rockets,root and fling marines. Become Queen's personal meat shield whenever someone is trying to focus her. Oppressor strain: Warrior+, abduct multiple marines directly to a filled egg morpher as they all get infected. Dancer strain: If you thought Berserker was hard then this is the next level as you need to actually aim with your abilities. Can't be body-blocked at all, still manage to complain about it somehow. Warden strain: die out of boredom, only uses shield, never uses rejuvenate. | Too many strains |
 Boiler |
Use your gas whenever the queen screeches to make the marines salt, Start making fart memes until you actually develop a fetish (gross). Snipe marines with your acid lance but die horribly when it's time to flee. Realize you can still make neuro gas by filling resin holes but you never do it either way. Trapper strain: melt the entire FOB despite 3 synths and the entire engineering department fixing the cades. Pretend to be a shotgun marine and PB marines to death with your acid shotgun. Become a literal artillery unit and nuke marines miles away while overwatching a runner in the colony as you sit in the hive, cry when the bug gets patched. | Engineer Salt Generator |
 Ravager |
Use your abilities to be overpowered as fuck, die when you overextend. Never actually learn from your mistakes.
Berserker strain: Die until you learn to click good, outheal the damage by constantly slashing the entire group of marines only using shotguns, die to a M39 or MOU double chungus. Hedgehog strain: Use your abilities to punish the marines shooting you,be more tanky than the fucking useless Crusher. Die when all your abilities are on cooldown. |
death of shotgun mains |
 Crusher |
Cry because you are now just a more tanky Lurker and used up 1 T3 slot on a useless role. Pray for the original crusher strain to be implemented but that will happen after all the crusher mains have already left. Still manage to be less tanky than other strained xenomorphs like Warden, Hedgehog and Steelcrest. | Bullet sponge |
Tier 4 Evolution
| Job | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
 Queen |
If no roundstart queen, nobody evolves to one until 12:25 and dies 5 minutes later to marines speedrunning. If roundstart queen, chooses the most stupid and off-meta hive spot in existence. Either stays on oviposition for the entire round and pretends to be TGMC Hivemind-lite or de-ovis as soon as marines land and stays a combat queen until they die or marines evacuvate. Always buys build distribution first but it never actually gets used because nobody wants to build like a drone. Buys useless T3 techwebs instead of saving for fortified weeds. Uses Queen Beacon whenever possible to either surprise invade the FOB, retreat the hive or meme shit which ends up the entire hive dying to an OT rocket or C4 and ends up getting queen banned for griefing. | Ban Speedrun |
| Burst as a THICK larva. Die before you manage to obtain max stacks, once you get them, die either way to predators. Gib every single marine on the screen and always flee when anyone actually does damage to you. Image related is what actually happens to your average abomination minutes after existing. | Impossible |
