    Those cannot be truly compared because so many of them are completely different things (how do you compare "3 minute Fade" with "teamwork"?).

    Clearly the most powerful strategy on that list is "Acid Rocket" since acid rocket means you already have 3 hives. Unlike showboat tactics such as "Teamwork" which despite sounding great, may only imply that you have 1 hive skulks.

    TBH i'd take a guarunteed 3 hives over a hidden sensory chamber, wouldn't you?

    fades arent always the win! Shot guns kill them nicely. I think early cara would be a great tactic. How ever theres really no "powerful tactic"

    1 + 2: 1-3 people go fade as soon as possible, 1 lerk, 1 hive, 1 oc, rest get nodes -- if you dont have this many people tweak it at wil

    If bile wasnt bugged that would be pretty high on the list. Hopefully with the increase of fade cost to 60 3 min will turn into 4. Don't forget 3 min 2nd hive (start) though as an early second hive can do a lot of damage too. I'd say teamwork does belong on this list as an entire alien team working together at one point on the map (lets say marine spawn) means gg if all the marines arent sitting there at the same time. I've seen multiple gorges hold down swarms of marines for long periods of time. Teamwork +acid rockets is always good as one acid rocket fade will do damage but only over time, add a few more fades and some movement chambers and you get insta win.
