Hive · Native: LavaHive Queen
I struggled to understand the force behind the Hive until I encountered a Hive Queen. More devil than insect, she whispered of “Master Beelzebub” and his herald. It was then that I realized what we were up against — and what it would take to win.

§ Attack patterns
Hits these hexes
Accent hex is the targeted tile; red hexes take damage, with fill intensity tracking the multiplier; the dashed hex with a dot is the attacker. Ranged attacks push the attacker back with a dashed connector; an ∞ marker on the line means the engine resolves the actual distance at attack time. Self-cast abilities stamp the attacker dot directly on the targeted tile. Cells that deviate from the 100% baseline carry a label — ¼ / ½ / ¾ for partial hits, ×N for empowered ones.
