If you have difficulty clicking marines, try using Directional Slashing, though there's no directional slashing for abilities.
You can diagonally pounce through the corners of fire as a Lurker or Runner without getting ignited.
When playing as Xeno, consider aiming at the limbs instead of the chest. Marine armor doesn't protect the arms and legs as well as it does the body.
As Xeno, you can break Night-Vision goggles that some marines wear on their helmets. Just aim for the head and slash until the goggles shatter.
You can dodge pounces that aren't aimed directly at you by laying down.
You may rest immediately during a pounce to pounce straight through mobs. It's not very practical or useful though.

You can filter out the Xenomorphs displayed in hive status by health, allowing you to look only for wounded sisters.
Each xeno has their own ‘tackle counter’ on a marine. The range to successfully tackle can be anywhere from two to six tackles based on caste. If a marine gets stunned or knocked over by other means it will reset everyone's tackle counters and they may get up!
As a Xenomorph, the list of available tunnels is sorted by their distance to the player!
