Quick Fade Tip

dialfeed

Here is a quick fade tip that you may already know....

1. If you see a marine rushing you, shoot your acid rocket at their feet and a little infront of him. This increases the chance of it hitting him, plus if it misses, it will do some splash dmg.

If you have any more tips please add on.

if you see a marine running at you, blink behind him then slash him to death :-p

oh, and regen + cloaking ROCKS for base assualt

Remember folks that the fades Acid rocket is just like the Rocket in the quake series. In those games aiming at the opponents feet is more likely to damage them than trying for a direct hit although the latter does do more damage.

Yes. Treat acid rocket like a rocket! Don't go for the kill by hitting them, go for the kill by splash damage. If you fire AT them, and they've got half a brain, they'll dodge

if you see a marine, kill him <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->


okay, an actual tip:
if you see marines with heavy weapons, pull back (i.e. around a corner) and draw them out with acid rockets before dicing them up.... or spamming more rockets until they die.

this will frustrate them with teh resource loss <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yeah, just sit around the corner where they can't see you and aim for the wall or ground near him. You'll hurt em and sometimes even get a kill or two.

Thanks, dialfeed. More fades like you will keep my fade killcount as a marine nice and high.

Ie: if a marine runs towards you, switch to swipe if you're not already using it. Really, though, you should be using swipe. I use acid rocket to:
A) knock down jetpackers
B) set off mines

I must be a nutcase because I dive straight into that arrangement! It's possible to use one of the guys as a shield while you slash him to death, then move on to the next shield, er... I mean guy, then slash him, then if you've got any stuff left in you finish off the last guy. Actually doesn't take that many hits to take down a HA guy, specially if they're only level 1 armor.

Error404

BTW, I've never actually taken out 3 HA guys by myself...

It's much easier to do if you're a Lerk <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Just a tip if your a fade; Redemption Rocks, it works better then it used to, it saves you 54 res every single time without fail, Regen is insane as well, but redemption if you want to be a psycho and run into a turret farm and live to tell about it....

This isn't like other games. The direct damage of acid rocket is only 50 so the splash means nothing and you <i>really</i> need to make use of those 3-5 rockets on your first volley. I personally like to lob 3 acid rockets to soften them up and then close in then slice 'n' dice.

I've done this a couple times. All I could do was laugh at the marines.

Why run? CHAAAARGE IN AND KILL EVERYBODY!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Ok, this wasn't a serious post but.... : Don't use acid rocket against solo marines, slash them instead, it's lame to acid them because you're too lazy to change slash.

Redemption is the HPB's saviour.

1) Make friends with a lerk, have the lerk umbra you in situations where closing is not feasable. Have him close and umbra while you blink in and slash (he helps with bite), especially good way to kill tfacs.

2) Make friends with a gorge, have the gorge web up infront of you (just once strand) whenever you're spamming acid, if any marine charges you back up let the web hit em and then close with the claws.

3) Learn to blink propperly.

4) Learn when and how to use your claws

5) Take carapice over regen every time, regen means you can't risk using claws, not using claws means you're bearly capable of damaging anything quickly. (If you disagree read kitsuns numbers)

some say Redeption hurts more then helps... but the only place i can think of that is when marines are taking 2nd or 1st hive... but i dont think they realise that you keep coming again... and again... and again...

really, those last few HPs are going to do THAT much more damage then you healing and coming back?

As a career Lerk that follows Fades around and supports their assaults, I hate Fades that get Redemption. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> I'll be spewing my umbra to keep him defended while he's shooting acid rockets, then he'll rush in to do some slashing so I'll follow and umbra and start biting. Suddenly, the Fade is gone and the marines turn their fire on me. Of the three times that happened to be (before I stopped supporting THAT fade) I only escaped alive once.

Uh, just thought I'd share. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Niteowl

as a sometimes umbra ****. i dislike fades with celerity. alot. it's a BUGGER to try and catch up them/not fly over them and try and cover them with umbra.


fade tip:
you CAN handle one turret firing at you if you have 3rd lvl carapace. if you can crouch and slash that tfac with one turret on you, GO FOR IT. you will not die. and that is a WHACK of rine rez you just took out. other GREAT shields from turret fire:
1) one turret
2) siege cannons (they really do cover well)
3) tfac (obvious)

About blink....

I have never been able to get this fade skill to work consistently and it is very frustrating. What are the ins and outs of blink?

Thank you,
