<h2>Summary</h2>
<p><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mrWpHGb_XmgRyhAIhw7G74RNw4u6m7tAi4iqmHLhYxM/edit?usp=sharing"><u>All thargoids regenerate at a constant rate (0.4% of their health per second)</u></a>, though since stronger variants have more overall hull, it leads to more effective regen. Once a heart is exerted however, they regenerate very rapidly, so the heart needs to be destroyed to actually damage the interceptor.</p>
<p>With immense firepower, this increased regeneration can be overcome, so large groups of pilots can instantly destroy an interceptor, without destroying its hearts. (This is referred to as ‘instagibbing’)</p>
