Xenonid guide

Xenonid Overview

Xenonids (aka Xeno) are basically predators that stalk and hunt their pray within the darkness and use their captured prey for reproduction in order to ensure their survival and the continuation of their species. Xenonids typically operate in a hive structure, with a hierarchical organization. The Queen is central to their reproductive process, while drones and other castes serve different functions within the hive, including defense and nurturing of young. There are numerous xenonid caste in RMC with different skills and attributes.

Xenonid Quickstart Guide

As a xenonid, your primary goal is to serve the queen and obey her will. You will first start as a larva unable to do anything for now other than running around in seek for a queen. You will then have to wait until you gain enough evolution points before you can evolve. For starters, you should evolve as a defender caste and understand the basic of combat. To attack, activate harm intent (this is usually binded to "1" in your keyboard but can be activated in your hotkey), then click on any adjacent tile, entity, or item to start attacking it. For xenonids it's better to use wide-swing attacks which can be done by pressing "spacebar" while still on harm intent. It is better to use this than a normal attack for groups of marines although do not wide-swing when breaking barricades with other xenonids as that would only hit your fellow xenonids instead (they won't get damaged but you won't be able to hit the barricade properly). After you've learned the basics of attacking you also have numerous abilities that differ between caste. Be familiar with the caste you've chosen, try out their abilities before you head into combat (some skills require a target to activate).

Things to take note of as a xenonid

• Follow the queen's orders unless its an order where it will endanger the entire hive.
• Do not go to the landing zones of the marines early into the round. You'll eventually find out why.
• Pheromones are always important, it gives buff that are usefull in almost any situation.
• Stick to your queen whenever she deovi unless told otherwise.
• Capturing marines as more inportant than killing them early into the round.
• Certains word will be automatically changed for xenonids (ex. "Human" will be converted into "Tall host" in chat).
