===Of Flood Swarms===

Individual Flood Swarms have low health and do less damage than other Flood forms. They counter this by flying in groups of 15 to 25 members. When in a group, the Flood Swarms keep moving. This reduces damage to individual units, as one is more likely to spread damage over multiple Swarms. This also increases their effective rate of fire, Flood forms that are ready to fire move to the front of the group, fire, and then head to the rear.

Groups of Flood Swarms are often found flying rather aimlessly before they notice an enemy unit. They then pursue that unit until they die, the unit dies, or the unit significantly outpaces the Swarm. Small groups of infantry or individual vehicles will almost always be destroyed.

*While the [[MAAT-9 Wolverine]] is good against most air units, it is ineffective against a group of Swarms, they are too fast, too maneuverable, and have such high numbers that in between missile barrages, they will kill your Wolverine.

*Always watch your scouting unit, steer it away from groups of Flood Swarms at the edge of its line of sight.

*NEVER assume you will win! Any unit can be killed by a group of Swarms, especially without support.
