==== These 1/1000 units are no longer just “tough guys.” They’re strategic assets. ====

The hive mind will use them as:

===== - A 1000-hit monster can sit in front of a formation and soak a ton of your fire. =====
* If your guns focus on it: - That’s 1000 relativistic, 500 kt-equivalent hits spent on just one body. - Meanwhile, everything behind it advances.

===== They can: =====
* Form walls or spheres around more fragile units.
* So your shots hit them first, not the squishier stuff.
* Rotate positions so tanks with more “HP left” move to higher-threat directions.

===== They can intentionally: =====
* Charge down your most heavily defended firing lanes.
* Draw your attention and tracking capacity.
* Force you to either: - Keep shooting them (and waste fire), or - Let big, obvious threats get closer while you focus normals.

So instead of just “more HP,” they’re tactical tools for:
* Diverting your fire
* Blocking LoS
* Absorbing a ridiculous amount of punishment in critical areas
