<div class="IPBDescription">How I play as lekrs in CO</div> Ok, here's what you do
You save up 3 EXP points early on in the game
Go gorge, then go lerk
Get Adren
Then spend EXP in this order
level 5 = Celerity
level 6 = Silence
level 7 = Scent of Fear
level 8 = Focus
level 9 = Carapace
level 10 = Regeneration
You may be wondering WHY focus:
It lets you hit and run better:
1 lone HA is wondering down the hallway... you silently and rapidly fly up BEHIND him... CHOMP, one focus bite... 140 damage
He prolly won't turn around yet
Bite 2 CHOMP a total of 280 damage so far
By now he MIGHT turn around
Bite three = 420 damage... and a dead HA <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
LA's only take a bite on the way, then a spore on the way out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

So I can gain faster res by killing more.
As lvl 10 lerk I would look like this :
Upgrades : <span style='color:gray'><ul><li>Adrenaline</li><li>Caracpace</li><li>Celerity</li><li>Focus</li><li>Regeneration</li><li> + 1 of choice</li></ul></span>
Attacks : <span style='color:gray'><ul><li>Umbra</li><li>Primal scream</li></ul></span>
You probably won't live long in enclosed areas, especially since you'll encounter shotguns and HMGs very often. Lerks are a claustrophobic lot.
IMO it would be better to replace silence with umbra. After all, Lerks can't kill in one bite.
also HA doesn't go down anywhere NEAR 3 hits
ha have 100 health but also 260 armor which counts as double health so they have 620 helath total (they will not die with armor left because of 5% damage to helath until no more armor) and 60 x 2 = 120 not 140 so frist bite they are at 500 health then second bite they are at 380 third is 260 fourth 140 fifth 20 sixth dead
(not sure it might actually only be five to kill lvl 2 amror heavies)
now that means you must munch on heavies for a long time
also for hit and run regen is much better then cara iwould make it look like this
2=cel
3=focus
4=save
5=lerk
6=umbra
7=adren
8=regen
9=cara
10=primal
but maybe i' just crazy and completely wrong
I use spores to strip armor from the LA's, then focus kill them with bite
I fly MAD fast (which I can do via Celerity andAdren) and bite ANYTHING I fly over (by quickly looking down)
I regen between pellet smacks and LMG bursts (and the ocassional GL blown) due to HYPERSPEEDING it outa there, and carapace lets me do it
Silence lets me get in the first blow 9/10 times, the 2nd blow 9/10 times, the 3rd blow 6/10 times, and the 4rth blow 2/10 times BEFORE being attacked! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
all you have to do is umbra as you fly in then hit q or 1 and bam bite bite bite
of and silence really doesn't help when you are in a rines start they will be constantly looking around anyway
LvL 1. focus
2.celerity
3.carpace
5.saved
6. going lurk
7. silence
8. regen
9. sent of fear
10. adren
This works for me because skulks still rack up more kills early in the came specially with focus and many marines have grenade launchers towards the end, making for some easy prey.
I tend to circle just above the rines and do quick bites at their heads, I focus on one at a time and run away when armor is at 5.
Works for me...
2. Save
3. Save then lerk
4. Get umbra
5. Get scream
6. Get cara
7. Get adren
8. Get regen
9. Get celerity
10. Get silence
Roar+lerk bite= VERY fast attack rate, its quite easy to kill HA with umbra/roar as your biting very faster AND doing about 80-90 damage (weaker focus but 3 times faster then it....do the math)
Very easy to run away and heal.
If you MUST have focus I'd take away either silence or celerity
The beginning game will most likely be hard but at level 9.......I'm usually doing better then most fades and only onos can beat me.
Anyhow I like this layout for the lerk:
Go lerk asap
Celerity
Regen
Adren
Umbra
Focus
Carapace
Silence
I get:
2. Hive 2
3. Focus
4. Celerity
5. Carapace
6. Adren
7. Save
8. Lerk
9. Regen
10. Scent of Fear
Nah, sif umbra sucks. I believe that u are the type of ppl that I hate --- the selfish ones.
Even if umbra sucks for urself, it benefits ur big teammates like onos and fades a lot!!!!!!
I guess u aren't going to gorge(50% hive) even if u are the only one capable of doing it.
