General Information
The Defender, as the name implies is meant for the protection of the hive and its members, though don't let that fool you into thinking it's only a caste about protecting others; as the Defender can additionally be an aggressive pusher. The Defender can easily push into the marines FOB or supply lines and come out victorious against overwhelming odds due it's unique tail sweep ability providing superb crowd control and lower crest/fortify abilities providing varying levels of defense against incoming projectiles.

Playing as a Defender
Playing as the Defender means you can both work on the defense, protecting retreats or spearhead advances with your high armor pool. Sometimes you will be required to fulfill both these roles if the marines have decided to push out an attack. Early on in the round, you'll want to be gathering hosts, and due to your defensive capabilities, you are the perfect caste to take on any survivors who may have made it through the original infestation outbreak. Once the marines have landed in force, you'll want to take an active role in defending the weaker castes especially Boilers as your fortify ability allows you to soak a lot of damage keeping the weaker Boiler behind you safe from the marines' fire.
If defending the Boiler is already being done by a Crusher or a fellow Defender then you can move onto harassing the marines supply lines, wounded and unmanned defenses. Due to the defenders focus on defense they make good engagement starters so where possible try to work with other castes to surprise and harass small groups of marines, though note that you can also take on large groups of marines if you have support from your fellow sisters.

Regurgitate |
Для пожирания, схватите хоста с помощью CTRL + ЛКМ или Grab .png){kind=small} намерения, затем кликните по себе, подождите. Чтобы не дать хосту встать и убежать, вы можете переключиться на пустую руку (X) и продолжить пинать его, используя Disarm .png){kind=small} намерение. Ксеносы с сожранными людьми внутри них не могут ползать, но ксеносы с сожранными обезьянами могут. Хосты с ножами в ботинках могут ранить Ксеноморфа, внутри которого они находятся, если тот находится в сознании. Использование этой способности при поглощении хоста приведет к его обратному извержению, что вызовет умеренное оглушение хоста. (Edit this template)

Toggle Crest Defence |
By lowering its crest, the defender caste becomes more resistant to projectile damage. A lowered crest will cause a slowdown while toggled on. Cooldown: 2 seconds (shared with Fortify). |
Fortify |
When activated the defender becomes extremely resistant to projectile weapons - however, unlike the base caste, a Steelcrest defender is capable of moving at a very slow speed while fortified. They cannot resist explosive stuns, however they still take 30% less damage against explosives in general, alongside being resistant to general stuns while in this state.
Additionally, you gain 15 more armor on top of the already high resistances of your caste to the front - totalling at 50 armor while fortified. Make sure to not let marines circle around you, however!

Defender Tactics
- Watch out for marines with shotguns. Being stunned by either slugs or point blank buckshot is usually a death sentence, as it will further reduce your already low speed.
- If you're charging into a group of marines always start or end the engagement with a tail sweep, to initiate combos and prevent follow up attacks while you retreat.
- Fortify can be used in front of boilers to provide defense against marine fire to keep the Boiler safe.
- Lowering your crest is a good way to get marines to waste ammo on you.
- Due to how defensive you are, you should try to block the fire of marines on injured sisters while they retreat, or while other sisters drag crit xenos to safety.
- Unlike the similar Warrior ability, Lunge, your headbutt does not automatically go on cooldown if you miss-click. Spam click to your hearts content.
- You have the ability to halt the tank in its tracks if you face the tank and fortify yourself. If the tank tries to ram you head on, you will be able to stop it. Be cautious though, the tank can still rotate and shoot you. Even if you do fortify yourself, the tank can ram you if you're facing the wrong direction.
Defender Evolution
Defenders can Evolve into the Warrior. The Warrior is focused around offensive an play-style with abilities to quickly dispose of marines. Due to the offensive play-style of the warrior it lacks in defensive capabilities with less health and less armor when compared to the defender.
