Tactics

The Hive Spire is the Tyranid HQ building. It appears at the beginning of the game, along with a Ripper Swarm, and commonly acts as the source of your first built unit. The Hive Spire continues to be important into the late game, as upgrades to it allows for technological advancement and additional builder units are required to sustain your forces, both of which can only be researched or created at the Hive Spire. Also, its Requisition output can help in the event of you losing many Strategic Points, although several are necessary to reach acceptable resource generation. The Requisition output of the Hive Spire does not degrade with time, unlike Strategic Points and Spore Chimneys.

The Hive Spire's health upgrades by 500 health for each of its first two Tier upgrades.
