Hive · Native: LavaParasite
Parasites are an easy — but nonetheless horrendous — way to create the Hive’s foot soldiers. Attaching themseves to unfortunate passersby, they gain a sturdy, disposable host. Although the host does not possess exceptional agility, it still allows the parasites to be effective in melee, while their own bodies are predisposed to engage the enemy at short distance.

Long Reach
passiveHas an attack that targets the hex directly behind an adjacent hex. It doesn’t provoke counterattacks and doesn’t move the attacker next to their target.
Topple the Strong!
passiveThe higher the target’s tier, the more Damage this creature deals to it: +3% Damage per tier of difference.
§ 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.
