Triffid From the manual: "These plant like creatures will launch Eggs every few minutes, which burst open to form new Virii and evil creatures. They are normally dormant but will activate when they sense enemies in their presence. Their main weakness is that they are stationary and defenceless at close range." Appearance: Though technically 'buildings' in the game mechanics sense, these tulip-esque enemies can cause serious frustration in a level. Triffids have a cone shaped head resting on a narrow stem-like body, and slowly sway like a flower on the wind. Manouverability: Nada. Triffids are stationary. Attack Patterns: Nada. Triffids don't attack themselves, but launch Triffid Eggs? which, if not destroyed quickly enough, will hatch into more enemies, Eggs, or souls. Sometimes Triffid Eggs? will hatch into nothing. Attack Strategies: Triffids are immune to Lasers. Since they are stationary, taking them out is just a matter of walking a Squad up to them, and dropping a payload of Grenades or Air Strike beacons on them. Since Triffid Eggs? can hatch into very annoying creatues, such as Spiders, it is often wise to locate the triffids, and devise a plan for quickly delivering a squad or two to the area to eliminate the Triffids. Otherwise, things might be getting very hairy indeed while you aren't looking. Page last modified on September 24, 2006, at 01:03 AM - Page generated in 0.063 seconds. |
