ALPHA COMMANDER

You'll face off against heavier, deadlier Brood Commanders, but with a small twist. The allies that it spawns will not be the ones you are used to.

ANATOMY

Per-body-part health, armor value, and damage flags. Captured from the wiki's Anatomy table verbatim; values like "300 [100/s]" mean a constitution pool with that regen rate. Fatal? = killing the part downs the unit; ExDR = explosive damage resistance.

TACTICAL BRIEF

Alpha Commanders can be taken out with the same tactics used against the Brood Commander. • Alpha Commanders have peculiar behavior where if not directly engaged in a patrol they will "retreat" then come back and attack the Helldiver. • Alpha Commanders can call in a Bug Breach, even without their head. • Alpha Commanders are capable of summoning Alpha Warriors and Hive Guards even without their head. • While any weapon is capable of killing Alpha Commanders, Medium armor-penetrating weapons and explosives are more effective against them due to their Light armored heads and high durability. Their head, claws, and body have slightly thicker armor, reducing damage from Light penetration weaponry. Destroying both claws will kill the Commander. • Their legs are not armored, making them vulnerable to Light penetration weaponry. Destroying a leg will significantly reduce its movement and charge speed, with further reductions for additional legs destroyed. Even while missing a leg, the Alpha Commander is still able to "charge," inflicting damage and its effects; this is despite not appearing to be actually charging.
