Swarm

Description

The Swarm was a four-legged enemy that was spawned from the Carrier when it died. It was faster than the Carrier and had more health than the Molten. The Swarm created a bubble when it died, and any towers caught in it were stunned. This was similar to the Carrier, although the bubble was smaller.

Appearance

Compared to the average enemy, the Swarm had quite an unusual design as it had four dark green legs, with black claws. It was smaller than the Carrier. It had a long green neck that was bent and glowing green eyes. It had a zombie face that was not seen on any other enemy. It did not have any arms.

Strategy

• The bubble that the Swarm creates upon its death will not destroy or stun any units from the Military Base or Crook Boss if any of them are caught in the bubble.
  • This makes them very useful when other towers are stunned.
• The Rocketer can be very useful against the Swarm due to its splash damage.
• Long range towers, such as the Outlaw and Sniper, are effective against the Swarm as they can shoot it from a distance. This means that they are less likely to be caught in the bubble when the Swarm dies.
• The bubble created by the Swarm can be completely avoided by towers.
  • Try not to kill the Swarm next to your towers.
• If required, you can use the Freezer's Ice Drop ability to stop the Swarm in its track, even if the Freezer is stunned.

Trivia

• In-game, the Swarm was called Swarm 1, even though there was no Swarm 2.
• This enemy could possibly be a reference to the Mutant Creeper mob from a Minecraft mod.
