When seeing the hunter Acolyte it got me wondering. Why Acolyte, it feels as though they didn't have another option. Witch and knight are of comparable power level just different paths. I always thought Acolyte was before you would pick one of those paths.
Of course this is just my understanding, so if someone knows of lore that would provide concrete info regarding hive evolution please share!

Edited by BetweenMyself: 2/11/2022 9:29:19 PMWhat else would make sense as the Hunter stand in for the Hive? Of the remaining Hive variants, the only other that remotely makes sense to me would be Thrall as the small, agile units. This however breaks down upon further consideration. Thrall attack by swarming their targets, using their numbers to their advantage, clawing and biting. One would expect a Hunter Hive unit to hang out in the mid-long range, using positioning to their advantage. And given that Thrall are the weakest of Hive units, I imagine some Hunters would consider it an insult when compared to Knight/Titans and Witch/Warlocks. (΄◉◞౪◟◉`)
