Flood Spore Mound

The Flood Spore Mound is a flood structure encountered on the Ark in 2559.

Description
The flood spore mound is a flood structure that is encountered in the Halo Wars 2 DLC, Awakening the Nightmare. It is fills the role of the flood mini base and is able to produce the smaller flood forms seen in the game such as combat forms and infection forms. It possess similar properties to the Abomination in that is has an area of effect surronding it. Any flood units that are inside this area of effect gain a health and speed bonus.

Tactics
Since spore mounds grant nearby flood units combat bonuses as well as create them, they should be destroyed with haste to prevent endlessly spawing flood units being produced. Spore mounds can be quickly destroyed with an offensive leader power such as a Rain of Fire, however it is best to follow up with some heavy ground units or light vehicles if the player has not fully upgraded that leader power. Alternatively, a large group of anit building units such as Locusts are also effective.
