The Lictor Alpha is one of three Tyranid commanders playable in multiplayer games. The Lictor Alpha, like its regular Lictor counterpart, is built around assassination by high damage and stealthy tactics. Without any biological upgrades, the Lictor Alpha is able to Infiltrate and pull units to it with Flesh Hooks. With a wide variety of upgrades at its disposal, the Lictor Alpha is able to adapt to many situations, whether it's fighting at the front lines with the rest of the Tyranid army or going solo to ensure lone enemy squads are not able to take resources.
