About Infected Roles (IBaR V1.2.0)
Back to Main Guide Page
Back to Explanation on different types of Infected Roles Page
Want to become a good player who now knows how the infected buffs work? well how about you learn the ways these infected buffs get setup in a number of special infected role sets so that you can do well in versus. The better knowledge you have about this stuff, the more you will pick up as experience gained from doing versus matches as you may end up adjusting your buffs in the buff sets for that role so you can do better or come up with a better strategy.
NOTE: There is no right/wrong buff set in every special infected role there is, it more comes down to your overall preference. Don't forget to experiment with your buffs so you can see what you can really do with the effects of them. That is also another way to learn from your buffs. <top>
The way it is explained here is that you will get an overview of what the infected can do in their roles, going from role to role. We then look individually at each special infected and the buffs you can choose from in that role so you can get the overall ideas of how the recommended or best setup buffs are chosen for each buff set in the role of any special infected.
NOTE: the order for the special infected and their roles is as above for when their buffs were explained. If you don't know what it means.
