− | + | You can summon a hostile war queen with a [[mechanitor]] and a [[mechband antenna]], and destroys the antenna. Therefore, each summon requires {{Required Resources|Mechband antenna}} for the antenna, and [[Research#High Mechtech|Standard Mechtech]] already researched. However, war queens are not exclusive to summoning, as strong enough mechanoid raids may feature one or even multiple. | |

When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids. The amount of other mechanoids depends on how many times you have summoned a War queen before, but is independent of wealth, time, or colony progress. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault. | When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids.

− | + | War queens can be gestated by a [[mechanitor]] at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed.

Defeating a hostile War queen rewards the player with a [[Powerfocus chip]]. Studying one is required to research [[Research#High_Mechtech|High Mechtech]], and they can also be used to create various mechanitor gear. | Defeating a hostile War queen rewards the player with a [[Powerfocus chip]].

Despite their description in a [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/294100/view/3319740412995640186 Biotech preview], rushing the war queen is generally not the best strategy. The war queen will only begin to deploy urchins when she is within range of an enemy, so it can be advantageous to let her come to you. Furthermore, the war queen can only build a finite number of urchins, so it is quite viable to hunker down and win a battle of attrition. Aiming for the queen can help, but you'll need to use [[EMP]] and rush it down ''very'' quickly, lest the swarm takes you out. Letting all the urchins be deployed allows for more steel to be recovered, as they can be shredded after, but any remaining steel inside the queen is lost. | Despite their description in a [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/294100/view/3319740412995640186 Biotech preview], rushing the war queen is generally not the best strategy.

The real threat isn't so much the war queen as the escorts she spawns with. The first summon comes with 5(!!) pikemen, and later fights only get harder. Pikemen in particular can snipe from a long range, making it extra difficult to interrupt the constant flow of war urchins. You might want to construct a close quarter combat arena in order to counter this. | The real threat isn't so much the war queen as the escorts she spawns with.
