Targeting an enemy before launching the attack will result in one of the tendrils visibly extending for an extremely long distance to hit it.
However, if the player targets any enemy just at the right time when the tendrils retract to make a another "vacuum" damage, this will make the Tendril Barrage cause even more extreme damage or instantly kill the more harder enemies such as Super Soldiers, Leader Hunters and even Hydras if playing the game on Hard Mode. The ground version has a certain quirk of causing additional "vacuum" damage, that is nearby objects and enemies sustain another round of damage when the tendrils retract. Even if Alex's movements are not fully upgraded. The Supreme Hunter also has this ability, but his version is slower than Alex's considering Alex can dodge his tendrils easily by running, jumping and air dashing around the Supreme Hunter. Even the larger Leader Hunters will take a fair amount of damage.Īrmored vehicles like Tanks are highly resistant to its damage, but APCs are the only armored vehicles that are strangely vulnerable to it, depending on how far away they are from Alex, unless the player target lock-ons them from a long distance. It will wipe out entire crowds of civilians and can cause extreme damage to Hunters and Super Soldiers. The Tendril Barrage causes barbs made of hardened tendons to erupt from Alex's body in every direction, impaling everything around them for a fair distance.
