        Synapse BacklashWhen a Warrior model dies, its synapse connection to surrounding Tyranid units is torn away. In a radius 25, Hormagaunts, Termagants, Raveners, Rippers, and the Tier 3 Lictor all take damage equal to 14% of their maximum health; Genestealers take damage equal to 18% of their maximum health; Carnifexes and Tyrant Guards take damage equal to 10% of their maximum health. Weapon knockback is dealt to the aforementioned units as well. The Synapse Backlash can only occur once every 1.5 seconds. Passive ability.  |
