Flood Spawner

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

Description
The flood spore mound is a flood pure form that is encountered in the Halo Wars 2 DLC, Awakening the Nightmare. It is a slow moving flood form and almost acts as a mini mobile base for the flood as it can spawn small flood forms frequently and it acts as the flood commander on the battlefield in the absence of an Abomination. The spore mound will behave very defensively, placing itself out of range of the players units and spawning waves of infected to wear their forces down.

Tactics
Since spore mounds always aim to keep a substantial distance between themselves and the players units, the player should train a few long range effective units of their own to counter spore mounds and prevent them from spawning endless waves of flood forms. Sending in a large infantry ground force for a close range assault will likely be successful, but many units will be lost due to the constantly spawning flood forms. When faced with groups of spore mounds, the most effective strategy is to combat them with an offensive leader power.
