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.

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.

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.
