Tyranid Synapse strengthens nearby lesser bioforms. An Ork Waaagh is warned by a red screen and increases enemy pressure. These two revealed faction traits ask you to react to the group, not only the individual target.
Synapse changes a nearby group. Waaagh changes battlefield pressure. Identify the cue before choosing your response.
Hive Tyrants and other critical bioforms grant nearby Termagants and Hormagaunts Berserk, increasing speed and damage. Kill the Synapse creature to temporarily stun nearby lesser bioforms.
Watch for The emitter strengthening nearby lesser bioforms.
A red screen warns of an Ork Waaagh!: more enemies spawn and enemies become frenzied.
Watch for The red screen and increasing enemy pressure.
Hive Tyrants and other important bioforms emit Synapse. Nearby Termagants and Hormagaunts gain Berserk, increasing speed and damage. Destroying the Synapse creature temporarily stuns the lesser enemies around it. Targeting the emitter changes the threat of an entire cluster.
When the screen turns red for an Ork Waaagh, more enemies spawn and enemies become frenzied. Treat the warning as a change in battlefield pressure. Avoid assuming a fixed duration or a predictable trigger; the warning itself is the useful cue.
A Rat Ogor’s low-health Warp Fury belongs to that enemy. Bell of Doom’s Warded aura is another specific support ability. Separate these local skills from Synapse and Waaagh when deciding which target is responsible for a sudden difficulty spike.
Crossing Hammerhal’s Stormrift Realmgate changes both the biome and enemy faction. Hobby Table stages can include multiple factions and sometimes mix them at once. Keep watching for the active faction behavior instead of assuming that the first group defines the whole run.
