Last Stand - Hive Tyrant

The Hive Tyrant is a remarkably versatile heavy hero, capable of summoning minions, fighting adeptly at close or long range, and taking more abuse than any other hero, bar none. Perhaps more than any other hero in Last Stand, the Tyrant is a true multi-role unit, whose power is limited only by one's imagination and wargear. On the downside, the Hive Tyrant is both the largest and slowest hero in Last Stand, easy to hit with templates and with relatively poor agility for most builds. Unequivocally one of the most powerful heroes if used with care and skill, the Hive Tyrant has a lot to offer, especially to those willing to stick with it.
