Metroid Prime Hunters/Sylux

General Info
His affinity weapon is the Shock Coil and his alt-form is the Lockjaw. Sylux is good for experts and newbies alike. The Shock Coil is a continuous beam of energy that gets stronger the longer it hits. The Shock Coil when used by Sylux, regains health equivelent to the damage delt. The Shock Coil is easy to dodge by going into alt form. The lockjaw can make bombs with electric wires inbetween them. If you touch the wire inbetween two bombs (Two can be down at a time the third makes them all explode) they will home in on you and the person who dropped them can rapidly lay more bombs for more damage. If you are caught inbetween a triangle of three bombs, they will home in and do massive damage.

Strategy

 * The great thing about Sylux is his affinity to the Shock Coil. With the Shock Coil he drains opponents energy and replenishes his own. With this in mind, you can chase after opponent hunters and drain their energy all the while. As an added bonus, the longer you have the Shock Coil locked onto the hunter, the quicker they lose their energy.


 * One trick with Sylux's alt form Lock Jaw, is that if you can surround an opponent by three bombs, they all lock onto that hunter and acomplish a one hit kill. This trick can be very hard to do if your target is aware of what you are trying to do, or if your target is jumping around and moving about in alt form. The best thing here is to set up the first two bombs and, if your opponent is jumping around, wait for their feet to touch the ground and release the third bomb at that instant. If they are rapidly moving around in alt form, set the first two bombs, and as before, wait for them to fall into your trap.


 * One cool trick with Lock Jaw, is that you can literally fly around arenas set in space. To do this, set three bombs in quick succession. The explosion will send you flying, do this again in mid air to send Lock Jaw flying even farther. This trick can only work in Weapons Complex and Headshot.

Deafeating Sylux

 * Defeating Sylux is no simple matter, seeing as that he has a very fast alt form and affinity to the Shock Coil. The best strategy here, is to just give him all you've got.


 * When trying rid yourself of a player using Sylux, the main thing is to keep out of distance from his Shock Coil. If you do this and constantly send shots back at him, you will eventually work his health down. Or, as you are fleeing from the Shock Coil's leeching touch, you could equip the Imperialist, if available, and attempt to kill him via headshot. Another great strategy that follows along the same guidelines is to, when using Samus, send charge missiles back at him. This way, if he is moving around, there is a higher chance of your shots hitting him.


 * If all fails to avoid a Shock Coil, go around a corner and prepare to snipe him, or charge him with another weapon. Or simply fight in alt form, you're a much smaller target, and harder to lock onto.
