Melee Resistance Aura

This unit takes 40% less damage from melee weapons. Passive ability.

Basic Synapse

Reduces the received ranged and melee damage, and received suppression of non-Warrior, non-hero Tyranids by 20%. Ranged damage reduction is increased to 24%/28%/31% at level 2/3/4. Also increases Tyrant Guard speed by 1.5. Radius 32. Passive ability.

Synapse Backlash

When a Warrior model dies, its synapse connection to surrounding Tyranid units is torn away.

Weapon knockback is dealt to the aforementioned units as well. The Synapse Backlash can only occur once every 1.5 seconds. Passive ability.

Melee Synapse

Allied Hormagaunts, Genestealers, and non-Devourer Raveners in radius 32 have their health increased by 40%, melee skill increased by 10, and Hormagaunt's charge range is increased to 14. Requires the Adrenal Glands upgrade. Passive ability.
