Hivelord if infintely more useful than a spitter or a sentinel 1 for 1. Hivelord has pheromones, weeds, sticky, super walls, its fast as fuck on weeds, it has super tackling with frenzy, it can combat hug, its tanky unlike either one of those castes, blah blah blah. 1 for 1 I would rather have a hivelord on my team than a sentinel or spitter any day. Sentinel and spitters only "utility" is melting shit with acid which a hivelord can do too.
