For the sake of fun and variety, what if we added xenos on the level of king, and let either the queen or hive in general to choose the specific xeno when the requirements are met
Imagine if we brought back the ravenger in all its fire spouting glory
It has a roar that gives it temporary invulnerability for a few seconds but roots the ravenger so its more of a jurassic park T rex moment to get attention and scare marines
it has a 3x2 cone of blue flame fire breath
it can spawn a 1 tile ring of orange flame around itself
being on fire boosts its movement speed and reduces slash delay
regains armor when slashing marines on fire
when it dies, exploding and creating a fireball the size of a INC mortar shell as a final “fuck you” to marines
so basically it gives time for marines to surround them to shoot them since this is a game and people realise theres nothing to actually fear
i love griefing the hive i love stopping pushes i love making fellow hive members need to sacrifice health to pat out fires
i love griefing all the xenos immediately around me
so it has low/no armor to begin with or….? how are they gonna live long enough to get within melee range unless they have an absurd health pool to chunk damage with?
I should specify, the fire is more like an ability IE it does not affect the xenos, and any xeno on the same tier as king obv will have enough armor to survive getting into fights
