Lead
Your colony is thousands of living cells. They flow toward your beacon, which follows your cursor and finds its way around rock like water.
Convert
Cells that push into an enemy drain it. Drained enemies become yours. Aim behind an enemy mass so your colony pours around it and hits it from every side.
Grow
Hydrothermal vents birth new cells for whoever holds them. Crowd a vent until its ring fills with your color.
Prevail
Be the last colony alive, hold 80% of all life for 10 seconds, or be the largest when the tide limit runs out. Bigger colonies resonate and drain a little harder.
