- Grab plenty incen darts
- Set your spriteclick timer to 2.5 sec
- Carry a secondary (I like MOU-53)
- Start hanging around the medic bubble/”back” of the frontline
- Runners/lurkers can’t survive the front line w/ their T2-T3 buddies so if they don’t want to properly backline backline, they always end up harassing the rear
- Start peppering their ingress/egress spots
- This won’t kill them but it’ll waste their time and be so annoying that they effectively get nothing done
- QUEEN STOMPS!!
- Rush to the main front, pepper the entire area with darts, don’t get stunned by screech(!)
- Now only the Queen, Crushers and Ravagers can push on screech, you’ve completely denied screech caps to T1s/T2s
- Bonus points if you can predict ahead of time so you get max level mines on the field
- Repeat till Queen gives up on trying to screech cap

How many screeches can a GL nadespam through? I’d rather those HEDPs etc get used for pushing. And pyro (can) take some time to set up a good flame wall, and requires real good skill and SA to not fuck over the front.
Screeches are nonstop (and QUICK) if you have a Queen like WAR on the field and only SHARP has the ammo economy and lack of skill required to constantly counter them – it IS the cheapest spec ammo and it comes in huge quantities (re: @onetoughcreampuff posting once that they wish they could just refuse to buy SHARP ammo, it DOES have use)
SHARP for me provides the same utility as HE minirockets + lasers or X-wing loadout; cheap, nonstop, repeatable high spread area denial. Denying T1/T2 pushes with SHARP is cheap enough to do for 2 hours straight and still have ammo left over, with barely an impact to req budget and barely a risk of fucking up marines
The fact darts last for 5 minutes and only get stronger means you don’t need to babysit the flanks you’re covering like pyro does – yes xenos can destroy them at range but it still detonates, like an alarm
Sorry for wall of text i jsut think SHARP is really really fucking fun and I want more people to learn to use it right, it’s a support class. I think I could definitely do to put up a PR fixing how punishing dart FF is though; those embeds will fuck you up wayyy too quick for how common they are. The funny bone-breaking 100% chance embeds don’t really “balance” SHARP they just make it genuinely hated by marines.
