Infested Tournament Arena (October 2024)
This month, it's the Infested Tournament Arena. After each player's turn, Tyranids will spawn on that player's side of the map. Initially, they are weak, but with every turn, they grow stronger. If you plan to turtle up, you'll need to consider your sustainability. Additionally, these Tyranids will consume overwatch attacks, making them less threatening compared to other tournament modes (except for Re'Vas, as her overwatch lasts for the entire turn).
Here are some tips specific to Infested mode, as well as general tips:
- In Infested mode, you should focus less on the enemy’s summons since they will chase the spawning Tyranids. Remember: You don't need to kill summons to win a match!
- Overwatch characters are generally weaker due to the spawning Tyranids, but Calandis remains highly useful because of her mobility, high critical chance, and counter melee attack.
- Always use Danger Zone indicators for your first moves. Avoid moving into danger unless it benefits you strategically. Ideally, move one tanky character into danger to bait the enemy into overcommitting.
- Use heroes with infiltration abilities to position them next to overwatch enemies (especially Re'Vas) so your damage dealers can safely relocate and deal damage.
- Don’t hesitate to play in lower rarity modes, and always maximize your arena heroes for that rarity, including their rank, equipment, and abilities. Every point of health and damage counts.
