PLEASE change tentarus hive missions

[Get Out Of Here Stalker]

IT IS REALLY NOT FUN to be targeted by a ♥♥♥♥ you spell by the hive that is unavoidable(unless ur immune to plague) spell that RANDOMLY targets your units (when their alone) and having a HUGE AoE range that it masterfully places between your units

not to mention how the 4 germs have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off to the 4 corners of a huge map as well, cause ♥♥♥♥ you thats why

PLEASE either remove it completely/reduce the range/make who its gonna target more obvious, im losing my mind doing the mission with a 10 hp knight which no matter the circumnstances the game goes hehe funny and gives him nurgle aids every turn

Please balance the mission im malding so much im losing my hair here, do it for my baldness

This is where the Techmarine is actually useful. The game thinks this is a bunch of GKs. And ALWAYS targets him! So, just stack Willpower and Resistance on him and have fun! You could also sac Castellan Crowe over and over. It's not like his 99 lives are going anywhere.

its really not that bad, but I agree that it should tell you who its targeting. otherwise these missions are fine. dmaller sized enemy pods, the germs die to crits. you can realistically split your party 2 and 2 for most of the mission. culexus and eversore are crazy good units to bring as well because the damage over time basically doesn't effect eversor and it literally doesn't affect culexus. the only real issue is the optional "do it without healing" I think that is absolutely crazy. that requires some end game maxed out loot to accomplish and the first one shows up right after the craft world. its basically a joke to suggest you could do it without healing at that point. kinda like the glorious deed for the frigate. its more of a joke than a serious thing to consider trying to do.

You do know you can bring basic gear to nullify the effect, right?

you cannot bring basic gear to nullify the effect

your basic gear are as follows
basic weapons with no bonuses and the few that you start with that have some
basic light armor with no bonuses
basic taurminator armor and a single taurminator armor with immunity to plagued
basic grenade and +2 willpower equipment and a single use healing skull

thats all the basic equipment. as you cannot have multiple units with the immune to plagued armor you cannot bring a squad of 4 taurminator armored units who are immune to the effect

you can bring a single taurminator unit and a culexus assassin who will be immune with basic equipment. that is it. anything else you have to luck into.

Ok boys i found away to trivialise it:

1)Get a justicar with terminator armor immune to plague
2) Get a high dps knight(or two) and have the Justicar afk near the tentarus hive so its gonna target him 24/7 + the spawns target him as well
3) Mow down hordes with ur other knights
4)Have an interceptor teleport around like tarzan jumping vines and kill the germs with crits
5) Gate of infinity gaming
6) Crit the ♥♥♥♥♥ to death

It does almost no damage, it's literally no issue if you play with just a smidge of urgency.

Do it with a couple of wounded/light wounded knights at early level and reply again

[Slapstick]

Just make it target the "Immune to Plague" GK. Hive is actually pretty stupid, it's gonna end up spending its life trying to plague that immune GK. In my case, it constantly bombarded a Paladin with Endurance Biomancy. That went nowhere, as you are well aware.

It is a charming little mission. Very thematic and better designed than Bloom Assault.

[Vultan]

Stratagem imune to affliction for 3 turns for easy win.

Warpspeed biomancy from apothacary.
Interceptor teleport for killing multiple germs in a turn.
Split team and run and gun then Mass teleport to group up.

There is no need to fight all the pods around the map. Just outrun them and kill objective and mission ends.

So now I have the first time this mission well survived, thanks to the information and tips here. 0.4% of all players according to Steam.

[Cy_]

I'll take 10x hive missions vs 1 servitor mission.
All the hive missions are simply attrition fights. Just ignore the dont heal bit and use hive missions as lvling missions for a lowby toon. Have that 1/2 guys get as many last blows as you can.

[KameradArktis]

culexus makes then mission fun can close the rifts and the psychic attack does nothing to it

[Will]

I seem to find the hive missions quite easy. I split the squad in two, avoid the middle area, go around the edges killing the the germs, meet at the other end of the map, head straight for the big hive thing in the middle, get close enough for gate of infinity , warp in and kill it in 1 or 2 turns.
