Gnat should take reachable melee exchanges or hold an approach to more valuable units. Before advancing, identify its next target and enemies able to attack it afterward.
Watch for: Base stats are not the final exchange result. Account for retaliation, current creature count, target immunity and subsequent action order.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 6 and Initiative 6 govern different parts of the turn. Check the particular ability for alternative free attacks.
Hive Spawn: Hive Spawn normally allow both morale and luck between −5 and +5. Fallen members can supply post-battle Necromancy.
Melee Attack: Its ordinary attack requires an adjacent enemy and can provoke retaliation. Particular abilities may alter those rules for their own strike.

The neutral Gnat is distinct from the old preview-era Hive recruitment line. The faction’s tier-one line in this inventory is Parasite and its two upgrades.
Neutral classification does not guarantee availability on every map. Growth and price are reference values; check the actual dwelling, map object or other acquisition method.
Reference build 25672315, data dated 2026-10-10. Public beta 0.82 values remain separate from this profile.

Hive Spawn
Hive Spawn normally allow both morale and luck between −5 and +5. Fallen members can supply post-battle Necromancy.
Melee Attack
Its ordinary attack requires an adjacent enemy and can provoke retaliation. Particular abilities may alter those rules for their own strike.
This reference assigns no direct town dwelling. Read the profile’s availability and abilities for acquisition.
Reference stack cost and health
These values multiply every resource in the undiscounted reference price and full base health. Hero, equipment, spell, price and growth modifiers are excluded. This is neither final damage or battle survival nor a guarantee that the listed number is available to recruit.

Reading this profile correctly
This profile retains build 25672315, dated 2026-10-10. It is a dated reference export rather than automatic public-beta 0.82 values. Summoned and converted creatures use their own acquisition conditions.
Speed determines movement reach and initiative determines action order. Focus points differ from full charges: normally six points fill one charge. Ability costs use charges; zero identifies a verified free activation. Weekly growth and price exclude hero, law and other bonuses. Summons and conversions have separate acquisition rules. The full inventory of alternative free attacks, turn-ending conditions and some restrictions still needs expansion.
147 profiles from the game-data extract for build 25672315, dated 10 October 2026: 126 town forms across six factions, Fire Larva and 20 neutral profiles, including temporary Avatar and conversion-acquired Lich Dragon. Both alternative upgrades have separate cards. Creature type, attacks, movement, morale and luck remain distinct; abilities list Focus cost and cooldown. Supplementary official-wiki revisions are cited separately. Public beta 0.82 has different balance and additional neutrals; those values are kept separate from this reference build.
