Xeno "balance" hottakes.

unironically a Xeno buff, if you get frontline nests there’s net less time wasted on the cap + caps burst sooner.

You missed out on super peak.

I think this is cope, it’s a net nerf because hugger quantity is reduced overall but now it’s balanced throughout a round. You’ll always have 6 in a morpher even if your Hive is just killing caps all the time.

It’s definitely outshone by Prae and Ravager but Despoiler is up on the tier list of super cancer castes to play against.

Multi-Z is unironically a Marine nerf given many more Xeno abilities work across Z level compared to marine firepower

True

Only a result of CIC changes it has become more common, SO + XO deploying was always the theoretically best thing to do.

VTOL’s only use is a mobile sensor tower, any Marines flying in it will get wiped upon landing if any Xeno has eyeballs at all and just follows the VTOL

Source: wiped several squads by flying on the VTOL

Cope. Xenos can just bodyblock marines to stop them shooting, I do this all the time but most benos are kinda too bald to do it.
