Community reports reveal that Thargoid Scythes sometimes do not target fighter drones (SLFs) when these alone attack at titan corpse sites. Players observed that Scythes ignore both SLFs and their mothership if only the fighters initiate combat. However, once the main ship fires first, the Scythes respond and attack as normal. This behavior suggests a possible AI targeting quirk or design choice that affects combat strategy. Commanders relying on SLFs should consider engaging with their main ship first to provoke Thargoid retaliation and avoid ineffective solo fighter assaults.
- Scythes ignore SLFs if fighters attack first alone.
- Engaging with the mothership triggers normal Thargoid aggression.
