Transform into an Insectoid with new weapon combos and Flight movement.
Surrounding allies immediately receive healing upon shapeshifting.
Your healing output, critical healing chance and critical healing magnitude are increased for a short time.
Upon transformation the following buffs apply for 15 seconds:
+15% Critical Healing Chance
+10% Healing Bonus
+30% Critical Healing Magnitude

If the player has purchased their native movement boost ability they will gain access to flight movement boosts while in this form.
Insectoid Form weapon attacks have access to Hand Blaster basics.
If the player has purchased their native movement attack abilities they can be used in this form (except Dash Attack).
Insectoid Melee Combos
Hold: Leap Attack; Interrupts, Vulnerable to Block.; Interrupts strong ranged, sustained, or charge-up attacks with a swift melee attack.
Tap Hold: Overgrowth; Leap into the air and blast the ground with an explosion of vicious plants, damaging and knocking back all nearby targets.; This is a point blank area of effect.
It is possible to transform into any other forms ( Gorilla Form, Primal Wolf Form, and Canine Form) from Insectoid Form, or to transform between those forms, but not to transform from those forms to Insectoid Form (which cannot be put into their ability loadouts).
The form change lasts until you use return to normal, transform into a different form (excluding story-based transformations like in Iconic Vision: Circe's Trial; you will change to the other form until the story is finished, in which case you go back to whatever form you had before), or logout. You will return to normal on KO, regardless of revive.

Upon transforming, if you are already at full health, the hitsplat would display that you have healed "-1" damage. It is also displayed in combat messages, despite that healing normally does not appear there.
GU106 has made some changes to this ability: increased cooldown to 30 seconds (up from 12 seconds), increased SC cost to 5000 (up from 2500), increased temporary buff duration to 15 seconds (up from 13 seconds) and added Supercharged tactical mod.
