<div class="IPBDescription">How do you use them?</div> I just wondered how many of you like melee and how many like acid/bile spam.
I like melee mainly, so i always take:
Ceralty - Nothing scarier than a fade running at you at 100mph (exept an onos)
Carapace - Harder to kill, better for me
Adv. Hivesight - Just cos im blind, otherwise i would take possibly cloaking...
Just wondering guys

Since I play on pubs server, I usually go with:
Regen/Adren on the first fade, since Gorges have not had the chance to make forward bases with D chambers yet.
Subsequent Fades, I usually go with Carapace/Adren.
And on time, in band camp, I was a cloaked Fade... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
i go celerity. i approach a marine and shower him with acid so by the time i'm up close, one swipe is all i need <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
if im in close quarters to begin with, i use swipe exclusively.
acid rockets to draw out the people who love to charge fades, and then swipe them when they are in range.
Liberal use of blink for mobility, confusation, and whatnot <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Carapace, Celerity, Scent of Fear (if we have it).
I close the distance on foot, dodging gunfire, and acid rocketing at I go. I slash as I pass, which usually drops LAs since they're weakened from the acid. I don't blink much since I don't like to risk getting my 54 resource investment stuck, but I do use it to escape. I've got a tendancy to rush right into the middle of a marine base and start beating up turrets and stuff <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
I use Blink quite a bit - most of my time as a fade is spent trying to figure out where I can blink to cause the most trouble. ns_bast is great - up the elevator and into the comm chair alcove (or the vent). Or in ns_eclipse, open the door and blink straight to the back of the base, and start wailing away with those claws. Once they figure out where you are and shoot you a bit, you redeem, and they're probably down a few buildings.
The fun 3-hive combo (for any class, really) is regen/silence/cloak. Makes you a fabulous ambusher, since you cloak and regen silently. Run by their base, throw some bile, then dash around a corner and cloak. When the marines come to investigate, let 'em run by you (you're healing the whole time), and then either rocket them in the back or chase after them and claw them apart.
Mmm... fade... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
But it depends. If the fight is on my terms (which they allways should be <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->) I use melee but if I'm supprised I switch to acid untill I either get behind a wall or have reached them. I prefer to retreat though. If there was more than one marine then it's more likely that not all will run after me than it is that some will run when i charge.
Divide and conquer <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
When I attacking a base I usally use melee but it depends, if I got a good position in a vent that I dont want to sacrifice then I use acid. But I love to blink into marine base, wreck chaos and blink out again. Works best on eclipse and tanith. Most hives on tanith are quit blinkfriendly especially Sat.
I had a good moment on tanith when we were trying to take out fusion. I had seen since before that the tf wasn't covered enough. The turret that coverd one of the side was to close to the door so i fired on the aliens who where there instead.
We had maybe three other fades there so I told them to cover me and rushed in. I crouched down by the tf and started swiping away. Didn't see that much of what happend around me but the other fades must have wrecked havoc because I allmost didn't get hurt at all. After the tf was gone the marines didn't stand a chanse.
Point is (didn't even know myself that I had a point <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->) that you need mix your troops. Both melee and ranged fades will live longer if they support each other. Marines won't move out and hunt the ranged fade (or even fire on it) while a fade is killing their dear armory. This means that the ranged fade can provide cover fire for the melee fade.
Unite melee and acid users and rise up against the evil intruders!

Keeping the range up is better for Fades as they get a lot of hit points and we can easily fall back to hive/def post to recover - marines have to hope the boss man is watching/ready.
If you have cloak then melee is good - they will run - no need to follow - could be a trap - but you can use acid on them. This way you can again you can keep the range up.
All IMHO of course <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
