Zoanthrope Enemy Information

Characteristics

The Zoanthrope is a flying Extremis threat Tyranid enemy that you will occasionally face in the Campaign and Operations game modes.

The Zoanthrope empowers Hormagaunts and Termagants that are in range, causing them to Frenzy. Frenzied units are more aggresive and do more damage.

Attacks and Abilities

Zoanthrope Abilities
Psychic Bolt Fires a semi-homing energy ball.	Psychic Beam Fires a linear beam that sweeps upward (Delay).

The Zoanthrope is more of an offensive-support unit. It does not have a 'regular' attack, but instead continously cycles through its set of abilities.

Zoanthropes will always remain airborne and only hit the ground when staggered or vulnerable to an execution.

How to Beat Zoanthrope

Use High-Power Weaponry

You can more easily stagger a Zoanthrope using high-powered Primary Weapons.

Use Ranged Attacks

Avoid its abilities while continously wittling it down from range.

Prioritize Taking Out Reinforcements

If with a group of swarm Tyranids, keep your eye out for when it attacks, but prioritize getting rid of the weaker enemies first as they can quickly overwhelm you while under Frenzy.

Have Your Squad Focus Their Attack

Unless you are using a melee Class in Operations, have your squad prioritize taking it out.
