How to play it
At the front of covered ground, since everything he does personally happens within three tiles and the ants are what cover the distance he cannot.
The swarm is sustained pressure rather than burst, so send it at the objective or at a brawler pinned in a fight rather than at someone with a clear line out.
Common mistakes
- Walking at a marksman across open ground with nothing to close the last tiles
- Sending the ants at a fleeing target rather than at the point being contested
- Fighting away from cover, where a three-tile attack never gets used
