Warnets control forest areas near their hives. Destroy these hives to reduce their numbers.

Description

Warnets often appear in high numbers near areas with multiple hives. Manytroops see their resemblance to Earth wasps and assume that Warnets are limited to melee combat; this is erroneous. Warnets discharge energy to stun and defeat enemies at range. It is imperative that troops stationed in the Concordian continent be trained for this eventuality.

Commandos, with their resistance to stun attacks, are best equipped for direct assaults against hive areas. Units without commandos should attack from very long range to avoid attracting multiple bogeys.

Warnet Queens are more deadly. Their area-of-effect discharges can endanger an entire squad. Shift all fire onto these leaders whenever they appear.
