<div class="IPBDescription">2 hive lerk<zors<the HA</div> this might be considered spam,but does anyone else that lerks find it extremely funny when you solo a HA with a hmg by just hugging and OOOmrbaing every 7 seconds?

the idea is, if you're fighting a lerk who is umbraing and biting - slash the lerk with your knife to disrupt its pattern (it will squawk and get all confused and forget to umbra since knife does full damage regardless) and then resume shooting it.

Considering a lerk costs 30 resources to evolve, and a heavy armor with heavy machine gun also costs 30 resources; it doesn't seem that "funny" nor shocking that a lerk can kill a heavy. Heavies really aren't that good when they are by themselves.

The Lerk is the sexy one! So smooth and sleek. And that spore animation, the way it just jiggles..... And did I mention that the Lerk is pretty eas-err, umm, fast?
When someone is ramboing, its all on who the better player is and not so much equipment. A fully upgraded light armor/lmg can kill a fade by himself. A lerk can kill a lone HA or JP. I do think it is elite when you kill an onos when you rambo with light armor/lmg or skulk versus HA/HMG full hp armor. I did do both but very rare. The onos was retarded and kept trying to get me at a spot that he couldnt get to. then when he ran away I chased unloaded both lmg and pistol and killed him(level 3 weapons of course).
A heavy isn't that much stronger than a level 3 armor LA marine, when only considering how many bites it takes to kill one.
If the HA/hmg can shoot, he should probably still win 1-1 despite the umbra. Lerks can't eat a lot of bullets, but rather their strength is in mobility (which you pretty much lose when not flying).
That said, almost anytime you see a lone HA he's not exactly the most experianced, and probably can't aim anyway.
i just keep shooting the lerk umbra doesn't block all incoming bullets and with 22-24-26 damage per bullet, it doesn't take too many bullets to kill the lerk considering the short length of umbra
The key to getting lone HA/HMG's is to wait til they reload - usually after shooting a wol. They'll take out at most 1 oc. Then you pounce, they're dead before they finish reloading - even as a skulk! And that pistol they desperately whip out won't kill you because you see them drawing and dodge around! 10 res (TOPS) of oc for 35 res of heavy (armor, hmg, and welder) - tis a good deal!
on maps where a HA train waiting around a corner,setting up a tf,im able to umbra from far away,zoom in(celerity...also always get carapace),chomp a HA,about a second before umbra goes i jump,flap,shoot a umbra at ground,and start hugging/biting the HA,jump,turn,flap twice,get away,umbra and land and then turn,cause they can kill you with hitbox lag,normally even with 5+ HAs i can take atleast 1 out every 2 times i fly in and use this tactic
