Faction: Rogue Drones
Damage dealt: Various (~24% EM, ~19% Ex, ~19% Kin, ~38% Therm)
Recommended damage dealing: EM/Therm
Recommended ships: Carrier, Battleship, Tech 3 Cruisers, and Ishtar.
Web/Scram: Both. These drones will have a random chance to scram and/or web you (they don't always do it) (Strain Infester Alvi, Strain Splinter Alvi, Strain Render Alvi, Strain Decimator Alvi).

This anomaly has two different variants, each Horde will be one or the other. The 'Four Tower' variant horde is the most common, named for the four towers, and the 'Ring' variant is less common, named for the ring of eight towers.


Four Tower Variant


On warp-in all four groups will agro within a couple of seconds.

With the new Odyssey rat AI, rats will target switch to your drones intermittently.

Awaiting image upload to label the groups.(Quick labeling from 0 warp-in facing the group: front left #1, back left #2, back right #3, front right #4)
