Introduction
this is not a guide as it does not offer tactical advice, all the synapse related content will be collected here so that they can be referenced on other pages easier.
What is Synapse
Synapse is unique to the Tyranids. Warriors and the larger Tyranid units emanate synapse auras. Synapse auras cause nearby Rippers, Termagants, Hormagaunts and other lesser Tyranids to be far more effective in combat.
