Capable of slamming their entire body down in an effort to squish you and your squadmates, tunneling through the earth, and spraying corrosive bile in wide, sweeping arcs, Hive Lords are less of an enemy you fight directly and more of an environmental hazard that you slowly attempt to whittle down as you're engaged with the rest of the Terminid swarm. As far as trying to survive the Hive Lord's attacks goes, pretty much all you can do is keep a good distance away from where the worm emerges from the ground — standing near it ragdolls you and pushes you away — and perform evasive dives whenever it tries to slam you or disintegrate you with its acid. Off the rip, I really like where the Hive Lords are at balance-wise; currently, they feel like a severe threat that's best avoided and skirted around instead of eliminated, though the process of working together with your team to take one down should you choose to do so is an extremely satisfying affair.
