Reavers are tier-V units of the Hive faction. They can be recruited from Apex.

They can be upgraded into the Menacing Reaver or Maniacal Reaver.

Description

The first time I witnessed a Reaver, I understood that the Hive was more than an anomaly — it had direction and purpose. They are not mere brutes, but predators hellbent on reaching the apex of the food chain.
