Editing Hive Fleet Hydra (section)

== Strategy of Hydra ==

By Hive Fleet standards, Hydra is quite small in size, although that doesn't make it any less dangerous. Its strategy usually focuses on massive swarms of small tyranid bioforms, like [[Termagant]]s, [[Hormagaunt]]s and 
[[Gargoyle (Tyranids)|Gargoyle]]s. Before the invasion starts the Hive Fleet sends thousands upon thousands of spores, containing the aforementioned bioforms, to the chosen planet. These lay dormant and hidden until the main assault starts. Once the attack starts, the bigger synapse creatures can call upon these organism to attack whatever objective they need to take down. If by any chance the defenders manage to kill one of the synapse creatures, it will send a psykic chain reaction that will drive all bioforms hidden in spores absolutely crazy. this means that thousands, if not millions of tyranid creatures will immediately swarm whatever killed the bigger nids, surrounding them with creatures from a wide area.

This, combined with the fast recovery rate Hive Fleet Hydra has to replenish the ranks of its swarms, means they can take down big objectives by using relatively simple tyranid creatures, only focusing in bigger bioforms when needed.
