The Defender
The Defender is a combat caste, focused on being the "tank" of any group of tier 1 xenos, and one of the most lethal xenos at tier 1.
As a Defender, you take more hits to kill than any other xeno at tier 1, so don't be afraid to step in and take a bullet for one of your sisters that is bleeding.
It is important for a defender to be able to combo its abilities together efficiently, or your damage and or capture potential will be severely limited.
Playing the Defender
As a Defender, you will be able to harass marines more efficiently than any other tier 1 besides the Sentinel. Work together with a sentinel and or Carrier, and you will be able to capture an inordinate amount of marines for the hive. A Defiler is also a wonderful xeno to work with, due to your ability to knock people down; Knocking marines down in the Defiler's Neurotoxin Gas clouds will render them stun-locked, giving the defiler plenty of time to Defile sting the marines.
Maturity Statistics and Evolution Paths
Defenders are born to evolve into Warriors and then eventually Crushers.
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.

| Mature | 280 | 175 | 17 | 33 | 33 | 28 | 25 | TBH | 25 | 25 | 33 | 25 |
