Transfers 200 Plasma to any target you can see. However, due to these advantages Hivelord Structure costs 33% more plasma to secrete.
#HIVE DEFENDER HIVE WARRIOR UPGRADE#
You can also secrete resin into adjacent tiles by hovering your mouse over them while activating this ability and upgrade normal Resin Structure the same way. As a Hivelord, you secrete resin faster than the Drone you evolved from. Hivelord Resin Structures are significantly more durable than Drone or Queen structures. Fires a lane of acid against targets within a 5 tile range and extinguishes xenomorphs on fire. Deals 8 damage to a random leg or foot when a host walks over it.Ī resin pillar that is oozing with acid. Reflects projectiles and even rockets back to the shooter.Ī small cluster of bone spikes. Weird hardened slime solidified into a fine, smooth wall. Increases a friendly xenomorph's speed as they run over it. Slows a host down that walks over it significantly.Ī layer of disgusting sleek slime. Secured hosts hatch faster than ones not secured as well as making sure they cannot escape.Ī layer of disgusting sticky slime. Stronger than the drone versions.Ī resin nest to secure hosts. It's destroyed if nothing is supporting it on both sides. Requires two walls on both sides to be able to build one. Much stronger than the drone version.Ī door specifically made to allow other friendly xenomorphs to pass through.

Allows non strain boilers to launch globs of acid over it. Weird slime translucent enough to let light pass through. Bullet resistant but won't do well against melee hits. The most basic hive structure available to construct. (Edit this template)Ĭan't be planted if there is already a node on the tile.Ĭlick to choose what resin structure to make.This opens up a menu of all buildable resin structures for you to choose from. Hosts with boot knives can injure the Xenomorph they are inside if they are conscious. Xenos with devoured humans inside them can not vent crawl but Xenos with devoured monkeys can. To stop the host from getting up and running away, you can switch to an empty hand ( X in hotkey mode) and keep tackling them using Disarm intent ( 2 in hotkey mode) when you are devouring them. To devour, grab a host with Ctrl + Click or Grab intent ( 3 in hotkey mode) then click yourself, standstill. Aliens heal faster when resting on weeds. Of course, if the path you need to take does not have said weeds, you might want to expand your garden a little bit. In exchange, you will gain a massive speed boost, allowing you to get around quickly as long as you stick to weeds. While it will draw into your plasma regeneration, it is already massive enough to not be an issue. Resin Walker should always be enabled when possible. The Hivelord can however afford to stay in combat on terrain it controls, fully weeded and built up with resin to allow it to easily get out of dangerous encounters and use its Resin Walker ability to rapidly change positions. It is highly recommended to not step up into direct combat with tallhosts, even if assisted by stronger sisters, as you will probably take a major thrashing without much use and might even get killed on the spot. For its own uses, he also has access to the Resin Walker ability, allowing it to become one with the weeds and get a speed boost that would almost rival a Lurker as long as it walks the weeds.Īs a Hivelord, the vast majority of your time will be spent away from the frontlines, building up the Hives that your sisters will soon use as defensive positions. Like the Drone, it has access to its trusty Pheromones but slightly more powerful than them. Luckily, the Hivelord is not just a better Drone, and enjoys new, powerful abilities. This all compounds into making the Hivelord a big, obvious target, meaning that any badly planned adventure out of the Hive, much less near Marine positions, will end very poorly. It has a small health pool, a very weak attack, and a sluggish speed when caught off weeds. The Hivelord, however, trades this ability to shape the Hive with probably one of the weakest combat abilities in the entire Hive.

The Hivelord's resin walls are also a lot stronger than the resin walls of her sisters, making him a high priority caste for building large nests and defensive works. Enjoying an increased plasma reserve and a greatly increased plasma regeneration, it can build far more, far more often, far more efficiently, capable of easily creating a whole new Hive chamber where a Drone might have to take multiple breaks to recharge its plasma. Where Drones would be the humble workers, the Hivelord is capable of moving mountains, more or less literally. The Hivelord, as its name implies, is the workhorse of the Hive.
