Hornet Leader is one of the Boss Vek from Into The Breach.

Description[ | ]

A giant wasp that moves through the air to attack with its stinger.

Strategy[ | ]

Unlike the regular and Alpha Hornets, the Hornet Leader is a lot less mobile at 3 move points instead of 5, making it much less likely to outmaneuver grounded mechs into tricky spots. However, it sports a large attacking threat range at 3 tiles, making it capable of dealing large amounts of grid damage in a single attack combined with its flying mobility. It's also more difficult to take out due to its high health; thus, it's best to whittle it down with a pushing attack that can redirect its large attack range into other enemies, then take it out in a subsequent turn.

In a similar vein to the Alpha Hornet, it's very helpful to deploy Mechs in tight spots and narrow chokepoints near buildings against the Hornet Leader, so that it can't occupy that tile. It can also be baited by placing at least two Mechs near it in a row, as it will prioritize attacking as many targets as possible; this eases the need to neutralize it immediately if it does not target the grid.
