The Praetorian

Praetorian Rundown

The Praetorian is a powerful ranged-support Tier 3 Xenomorph that can spit both neurotoxin and acid, spray a large cone of acid, and emit pheromone auras to help allies within a certain radius. You are also tough enough to help with front-line combat, but are still somewhat vulnerable to fire.

Playing the Praetorian

Praetorians are some of the hive's most powerful support and leader castes. Your ideal position is at the front with the main attacking force, emitting pheromones and providing constant harassment with your spit and very powerful spray to wound marines and break through fortified areas. With your choice of abilities and the importance of pheromones to a successful battle, you should only play a Praetorian after you understand how and when to use its abilities.

You can switch between neurotoxin and acid spit, and your acid spray is a very powerful ability which sprays a cone of acid across the ground seven tiles wide and four tiles long. Acid spray will knock down any marine that it hits and will do damage to anyone that stays in it or moves through it while it's on the ground.

Pheromones are another critically important tool you must use. You can switch between recovery for faster healing and plasma regeneration, warding for extra protection, and frenzy for a speed bonus. Make sure you're always emitting pheromones to help yourself and your team, and when applicable, make sure you aren't overlapping pheromone types with other Xenomorphs to maximise their usefullness.

Tips & Tricks

• In the absence of the Queen, you will often be looked at as a central point of combat due to your powerful pheromones. Make sure you're supporting your other Xenomorphs and paying attention to the battle.
• You can help an assault succeed, or even influence a push to begin, with a well-placed acid spray that drives marines back from barricades or catches some out, wounding them or cutting them off from support.
• Praetorians also rival Spitters in their harassment ability, so make sure you're constantly spitting neuro or acid when you're not spraying or fighting.

Evolution and Upgrades

The Praetorian is a Tier 3 and cannot evolve further. Upgraded growth levels will increase your health, armor, slash damage, movement speed, plasma pool, and plasma regeneration rate. Ranged castes also get more potent neurotoxin and acid for their abilities. Pheromones for their respective castes also grow in strength along with growth levels.
