Finishing the game quickly with a boatload of T-res

<div class="IPBDescription">Marines can do it, aliens can't</div>As alien khamm, when the game is ending, and we're winning, I often find myself wondering what to do with a ton of T-res. I've tried whip rushes, but a single defensive ARC is enough to ensure I can't cyst into the marine base and do some damage. I generally just end up jumping out and going Onos.

Marines can make a pain train of ARC's with that res and finish the game up in a hurry. Anything that aliens can do against ARC's can be countered by just using MORE ARC's, so there is always going to be some number N of ARC's that equates to a "win button." The same is not true of whips.

I'd like to see a reason to stay in the chair at the end game, and something useful to do with all that T-res. Stackable buffs would accomplish this, but might not be much fun.

How about some way to actually get whips into the base successfully (and use that seldom-seen damage bonus against buildings they have)?

Maybe some kind of MONSTER CYST that's hard to kill and makes nearby structures stronger. This would be especially cool to see rising up in the marine base floor after drifter 2.0 hits.

    i heard a rumor about some 4th-hive-monster, not sure if it is true though. i bet this will be adressed in some way (marines will also get a nuke :D) but things like exo and shift obviously have a higher priority right now.

    I hope they are secretly planning a new alien creature, I feel like aliens are going to be a bit crap compared to marines when they get the legendary Exosuit

    A new playable lifeform is about the last thing in the world I can imagine them adding, honestly. All I want is for whip rushes to be more viable. D:

    How to win game with tres.

    spam cyst, grow whip in marine base with mist. If they have arc, attack cc with drifter to lag server so sentry do not shoot fast.
