you forgot about the Terminid Alpha Commander, being a mix of a Stalker in terms of speed and deadliness and a charger for their ability to, well, charge. they are fairly tough creatures that can withstand a few good hits, even from something like the explosive crossbow, but only if carelessly used. the Alpha Commander can have its head obliterated and still live to fight, as most combat phenotypes, like the warrior and the Brood Commander, however, they can live substantially longer than their counterparts, likely due to their unquenchable desire to instill tyranny over the galaxy. I'd like to offer a universal point of advice to all Helldivers and potential recruits: tearing off the legs off an enemy of Super Earth is the quickest way to end them.

@ForWeAreMany Love the comment! Great description of the Alpha Commander, yes indeed a tough beast, and accurate advice about the legs. I learned that very quickly. Apologies for not including the Alpha Commander, as I had been working on this video prior to them being released into the wild and only released it recently. But thanks again for your great analysis of them it's very appreciated.
One tip I like to have is as a solo stealth diver, I always carry supply pack so my teammates can have stims and ammo on deck. For both, know how to bait bot drops and bug breaches and dip out so the enemy can respawn. I’d also recommend smoke grenades because they break line of sight.
@Suhayl_Khatib Some nice tips, thanks! Yeah, I love the supply pack. This game has so many stratagem and gear choices I wish we could take down at least 1 or two more stratagems, or have the ability to change our loadout in mission. But yeah that ain't going to happen lol.
@@infernofox294 I mean you pretty much can do that depending on the objective and depending if you know when to strike and when to retreat before getting overwhelmed by dropships or breaches.
Constructive criticism on the vid. While the format of the video is clever (classroom-like setting) when watching on a phone, the presentation screen playing in the background is like 1½ X 2½ inches. I can hardly process what I'm looking at.
@MediaMaster9000 Thanks for the feedback! I usually think about that for shorts but missded the boat on long format for this one, ill keep that in mind for my future videos, thanks again.
I'm not sure I would lump all devastators into a single category as "easy to avoid their fire" as heavy and rocket devastators can absolutely trash you from very far away. Given the title I was actually expecting some discussion of bug breach, bot drop, patrol spawns, etc. You could probably make a video on each section of this one and still not cover everything.
@PRC533 That's fair about devastators! I should have emphasized standard devastators, but instead lumped them all into one. Yeah so much in this game to cover, I shall look at maybe making one on Bug Breaches, bot drops and patrol spawns in the future, thanks for the comment much appreciated!
I hope you get something out of this video, thanks for watching. Have some more tips, let me know in the comments!

Great vid man I needed this, also you sound a lot like a War Thunder youtuber I used to watch, Long5hot?
@RawGameplay0 Thanks for you kind comment, oh really, Longshot haven't heard of him ill look it up! Thanks again.
Most important rule: stay together and work as a team, dont wander of soloing the objectives
@infernofox294 Yeah I agree, probably no 1 for me as well, thanks for he comment!
I tend to solo stuff against bots but not on difficulties 9 & 10.
