What do you think about Alien's power?

Do you like it? How strong do you think Alien will be?

    I think it could do with a few minor tweaks, and as a controller player who can't aim for ######### I hope runner mode gets a bit of a boost, like reducing the TR to 16m or something.

    But overall it looks really fun. Turrets provide meaningful counterplay without being oppressive like EMPs, more like exposing GF, and seem fun to use and play around as a survivor.

    I cant really say cause I am console but from what I ve seen he could be mid B to mid A at his best, depending how good the tail attack will be to use.

    Tierlists BS aside, if he is fun to play and not clunky, I will be happy to play him a lot

    I think he'll be C-tier but still really fun, which fits most killers I play as. Using his tail with controller will be hell, though, especially with its more precise hitbox than Nemesis's.

    I'm on PC but don't have interest in doing the beta thing. However I keep saying, if Alien is weaker than a Nurse then we've a problem.

    The mobility is really nice, you barely feel the size of maps like mother's dwelling and garden. The tail strike was a little confusing at first but once you see the hit box I rarely miss now and it feels pretty good.

    For those that don't know the hit box slopes downward even though the tail looks like it goes straight horizontal so you wanna aim a little bit high to avoid hitting vaults and debris.

    I'd say Xeno is top of B tier, there's potential for A tier but the power is so simple I don't really see any crazy techs being developed it's pretty what you see is what you get.

    Can't wait to p100 them.

    it was fun when I tried it out.

    think it'll be strong, but not beat the top tiers

    I think they should be removed from the game. Not every killer needs 1000 ways to outplay them.

    Really high skill cap with the tail. You can hit a lot of wild shots with it but the window on the downward drag is tight. Some hole shots are going to be possible. Going to be similar Oni where the average Xenomorph will be perfectly manageable but a top tier one will be terrifying.

    Not really. His power is instant and hits over pallets without needing to break them first. His tunnels are already set up and can't be disabled. He doesn't stomp around like Nemesis to be heard coming a mile off even when undetectable.

    Better than Demo in every way.

    I dont think his TR is reduced enough in Runner mode relative to the strength of the Tail Attack, but conceptually I love it

    Being the perfect organism wont help him vs flashlights,pallets and teabagging at the exit

    Not as unique as I had hoped and the M2 is a bit clunky. Could end up being a cool killer though.

    You must of been pretty disappointed in every killer released after August 2016 then
