My favourite attack is lerk bite because it forms the perfect couple with gliding-in-your-nose attacks
My favourite upgrades are carapace (tank lerk), adrenaline or silence (about 50-50, depends on the situation, but I steadily admit that playing with silence is VERY fun) and enhanced sight, as you never get surprised by hiding marines and can bite and spike two times better, especially on dark maps (bast, for example). I almost never take cloaking.
my favorate attack would have to be health spray. just because its so dam usefull.
My favorate upgrade would have to be clarity on a gorge <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. its so funny to burn around the levels at stupid speed and a fhatteh <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
i guess my favorite alien attack would be babblers, hehe. you dont get to see them too often, but they were just kind of fun to play around with. <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo-->
i definitely like carapace, celerity, and cloaking as far as the upgrades go. i will use the other upgrades depending on the situation, but i think i take these ones the most.
Although my number one favourite ability is leap, i love the chorus of WTH!!! as i leap like the rabit in monty pythons holy grail between the team.
My favourite upgrade is silence, but as lerk i rarely take anything other than carapace, adren, scent of fear, as i like to spike while flying. (i find strafing the enemy works well, as they turn their attention to you (and only the very best can shoot a lerk out the air) and the skulks can take care of them while their attention is diverted)
Skulk because it's such a sneaky class. Parasite because it helps everyone. Silence because it's sneaky for a sneaky class
My favourite alien attack is the spore cloud. It's too hilarious to spore a group of marines and send them scurrying for safety, only to then spore their new hiding place. Rinse and repeat. Xenocide comes close though.
My favourite upgrades are:
DC: Cara. Duh. As a skulk it's necessary, and with the other classes it's very helpful.
MC: Silence. Ninja skulks ahoy!
SC: Cloak. The only one that's actually useful. Once again: Ninja skulks ahoy!
I usualy use cara, adren/clererity (how do you spell it???) depends on wath i want to do... uhmm sens... ehh cloak?
Bite
D - Regen/Cara (50/50)
M - Celerity (hands down)
S - I usually don't waste the res but Scent of Fear if I do
Skulks rox. I can whoop up a mean Terran Soup if given the right conditions.
Roo
Although, I believe it's being changed in 1.1 and blinking upward to get to high places will no longer be viable. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Roo <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
same here but I still have a favorite style of play <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Imo, cloaking is useless without silence. If the marines are close, they hear you cloaking and that's a giveaway
Every alien but onos and gorge -- Cara -- Adrenaline -- Scent of fear.
Gorge -- Redemption -- Silence -- Cloaking.
Onos -- Regeneration -- Adrenaline -- Scent of fear.
My favorite alien attack is blink, oh rest in peace beloved blink.
DC: Redemption (HAH! Couldn't kill me!)
MC: Adrenaline (makes combos so much easier and quicker)
SC: Cloaking (no question)
Wait - A one time payment of 54 res? WITH NO INTEREST? YOU MUST BE OUR OF YOUR MIND!
No, not out of my mind, OUT OF MY HIVE! Ha ha. No, but really, with a low, low payment of 54 res you can swipe marines down in just one or two hits, or shoot them from afar with acid! *rockets not included* Not to mention the fact that you can <i>blink</i>
Blink you say? Whats that?
Blink, Ron, is a ability that only the fade has and it comes <i>with</i> with first, and final, payment of 54 res. Blink can teleport the fade to anywhere he can see. See a GL opening fire on a hive - but you have to go though a whole team of LMGs? Not any more -- for the low low price of 54 res you can blink behind the marines and kill him!
Wow - that's truly amazing stuff there and only for 54 res? 27 is almost half that number and you cant even buy a lerk with it, but what about at three hives, what if we have three hives, why not go something like Onos instead?
I'll tell you why! The fade, unlike the Onos, can destroy structures from a distance. Ron - have you ever seen a group of big, thick balls flying through the air with the intent to 'explode' upon someone, or something?
Only at Fam’s house… and SypderMonkey’s too!
Yep - that's the fade for you Ronny! The Acid rocket *acid not included* can wreak havoc on any marine base at any time *by anytime we mean only when you have three hives*
Wow - thanks for the great information on why Fade is your favorite - so pick up those phones and start calling -- Fade -- all you could ever ask for in only 54 res!
*yeh, i was bored...*
DC \\ Carapace - Cuz otherwise you die in half a second.
MC \\ Adrenaline - Else i can't spike and fly.
SC \\ Enhanced sight - Makes it soooo much easier to see rines hiding in dark corners. Gotta love the "WTH it was dark howd you see me, with lambent HAx!!11!?"
even when 90% of the team is fade i often stay skulk, and sometimes i even play better than some of the fades <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
melee fade is a close 2nd for those times when skulk doesn't cut it (read: HA/HMG)
My favorite ability would be blink. I use it to get around the map quickly, to get close to my enemies quickly, to avoid gunfire, to confuse enemies (where did that fade just go?), and to make quick retreats to heal.
My favorite upgrades would be carapace, because it more than doubles the amount of damage I can take, and adrenaline, because it allows me to use high energy cost abilities much more rapidly.
