 Shrike |
Difficulty: Hard Duties: Be the psychic support of the hive, become queen when the previous one runs headfirst into a missile. Guides: N/A Quote: "Oh boy, here I go flinging nades back to marines again." |
The Shrike
The shrike is one of the few xenomorphs that have harnessed telekinesis to defeat the marines, but with this great power comes with great responsibility. With such psychic abilties, you are also tasked to lead the hive with and without a queen. Since you are not queen, you are not as heavy as the queen, so you cannot withstand much damage from marines; in fact, you can get stunned by shotguns and mateba. You are a support caste and should not be spearheading the xeno charge. However, your fling does provide a good stun against one marine, making you an excellent duelist.
Playing the Shrike
So, seems that you have become the shrike, but what do you do now?
First steps:
- Turn on your pheromones to either recovery, a typically non-combat pheromone, or the warding and frenzy pheromones which increase combat performance of you and your fellow xenos
- Use your Call Burrowed ability regularily, as it allows dead players to respawn at your feet as burrowed larva. Use only while you are safe as larva can easily die
Now that thats done, what should I be doing? Go help support your fellow xenos at the front line with healing and through the use of your abilities "Fling" and "Devastating Force". As you are more of a support caste marines will be especially eager to kill you. Do note you should not try to take on marines on your own, as you do not do much damage and your abilities are perfect for opening opportunities for your allies.
Maturity Statistics and Evolution Paths
The Shrike is a Tier 3 and can evolve into a queen if there are more than 8 xenos in the hive.
Maturity increases stats as follows.
- Slash is the melee damage when the xenomorph is in harm intent and slashing marine. In the code, it's melee_damage.
- Melee, bullet, laser, energy, bomb, bio, rad, fire, and acid are soft armor values, not hard armor, which means that they reduce damage by a percentage rather than a flat value.

Tips & Tricks
- Don't tank shots, you are meant as a support caste.
- Open up duels with a fling instead of screech. If you fling first, you can further stun them with a screech, and when screech is used, your fling is ready to go to further stunlock the marine.
- Aim for arms in duels. You can easily decrease the marine's capability to duel you when they have a fractured arm. Marines can't use shotgun if not wielded. If they have a pistol or submachine gun, then you will have to break both arms to prevent them from using the weapons.
- Use your screech to fling marines' nades back at them; you are the only xenomorph that can do this.
- Use help intent to help shuffle behind marines, turn around to face marines' back, and screech. Watch as they get pushed to a group of xenomorphs.
- Sometimes it's better to save psychic cure to save sisters that get into trouble than waste it for a quick heal
