: Like many classes, go late in one round to let enemies approach, then go early the next to strike and move away.

: Don't just stay in one form. Switching to a Sniper Turret can turn standard melee attacks into multi-target ranged strikes. Recommended Gear

: Highly effective in scenarios that punish summons, such as those featuring Shrike Fiends .

: Use the Machine Bolter's ranged capabilities to apply constant pressure. At Level 3, the Arcing Generator becomes a powerhouse for hitting multiple enemies at once.

: Players often recommend taking the Immunity to Wound perk early. This allows you to use your "Sword" summon effectively, as it often wounds both itself and its target; immunity lets you merge with it and remove the status effect.

: A key tactic involves the "Transfer" mechanic, which allows the Hive to jump between summons. This can be used to reposition across the map instantly or to save a summon from lethal damage by taking the hit on the Hive's health pool instead.

: The Hive can inhabit different summons, essentially "becoming" that unit. This grants the Hive the stats and abilities of the specific machine.

: Focus on the Machine Bolter and Arcing Generator .

: When you transfer to a summon to protect it, you inherit its damage and conditions. Bring healing items or use the Heal Drone to keep your main health pool stable.
