(1) Assembly - Both the assembly race and the xenoplague tech focus heavily on melee units and health regeneration. The Xenoplague secret tech pairs well with biological and/or cyborg armies, and does not pair well with Psi-fish and the Autonoms, or the Forgotten NPC factions.įrom what I can tell, all 6 races have valid strategies for this secret tech, but some maybe better than others. Prime rank gives the unit ability: Range. Regenerating cloud heals this unit and adjacent biological units 8 hp per turn. Can resurrect a xenoplague unit once per battle. Plague Lords - 65 hp 4a1s This unit has three attacks: One repeating range, one single range, and a repeating melee.

Prime rank gives the unit ability: Evasive and its ranged attack is a single attack, which melts armor. prime rank cannot be achieved (Reinforcements don’t get experience)ĭestroyer - 45hp 2a1s This unit has a repeating melee attack, which heals 25 hp when it kills a unit. Prime rank gives the unit ability: Evasive.īloated Pustule - 25hp 0a0s This unit blows up when killed. Pustule - 40hp 1a1s This unit has a repeating melee attack, and comes with skitter and small target (making it really hard to hit).

Now before we jump into all of the synergies between the different races and the Xenoplague secret tech, I did want to talk about background I like using with the secret tech, as well as go over the xenoplague units.ĭecadent + Xenoplague Close Quarters Equipment (creates tanky melee commander, who spreads infection) + Star Union Scholar (to get plague pods as quickly as possible). Regenerative Spore Cloud - costs 6 skill points - requires lvl 8 - heals hero and adjacent biological units 8 hp per turn. Spore Feeding - costs 4 skill points - requires lvl 6 - when a unit under the control of this hero kills an enemy within 3 hexes, then they heal 15 hp. Parasitic Spray - costs 3 skill points - requires lvl 4 - can stun an enemy for 1 round while also spreading xeno infection. Rapid Movements - costs 2 skill points - gives +5% evasion per hex traveled (really good) I expect that the 2 expansions planned in 2020 will introduce new combinations with the Xenoplague class, but I did want to cover the synergies that exist between the Xenoplague class and the races that are currently in the game. I LOOKED AT NUMEROUS THREADS TO RESEARCH THE CONTENT FOR THIS POST AND THIS VIDEO. In this week’s video, I breakdown each of the 4 Xenoplague Hero Skills, and analyse how well each of the races synergize with the secret tech.īIG SHOUT OUT TO THOSE WHO ARE ACTIVE ON THE FORUMS AND REDDIT.
