Metroid Prime Hunters/Weavel

General Info
Weavels affinity weapon is the Battlehammer and his alt-form is Halfturret. The Battlehammer's projectiles fly in an arc and create a wide blast radius, which is great for pushing enemies out of node rings and off ledges and deadly drop-offs. Halfturret is an effective alt-form. Weavel upper body seperates from the lower body. The upper bodies arms provide locomotion and is capable of attacking enemies with a slashing blade. The lower body is a stationary turret that fires at any hunter that comes within range. When Weavel splits into alt-form his health is halved to provide health for both entities.

Ways to use Weavel

 * The main advantage of the halfturret is the fact that you can be in two places at once. With good positioning you can leave the turret to hammer away at enemies. Good positions could be behind cover, up on high platforms and ledges or in enclosed spaces.
 * To use the Combat Hall as an example, (since so many players love it). It has at one end some great cover. Like part of a bunker. Positioning the turret behind here will allow it to fire away whilst behind cover which is always good. There is another one of these half bunkers at one end but this time on a high ledge. Giving you both the advantages of cover and height. Now, to one side is the corrirdor. A lot of players run down here for cover. Positioning the halfturret here will allow him to fire with not much chance of missing. Because it fires battlehammer shots which have a wide area then it will barely miss.
 * Of course the question is now, "What to do with the other half?" Now, this depends on you. If you can attack with some accuracy using it then by all means do. You can home round the back of the player and flank them. What most players tend to do, seeing as scoring a hit with the slice is very ineffective and hard to do, Is to look around for health drops. Making sure the turret is replenished, This allows you to deploy it for longer.
 * Weavel actually has the ability to jump higher than any other hunter in the whole game. At the expense of roughly 30-40 health. First, aim as low as possible. Then fire a Battle Hammer shot, and then after (not immediately) shoot another. Then jump at the peak of the blasts. Once you're at the peak of that go into alt form. This can be used to reach previously unreachable places, such as the bridge in Ice Hive
