Editing Swarmer (section)

==Description==
The '''Swarmer''' is an event damage over time [[Towers|tower]] that could have been obtained by triumphing [[Eggy Island]]'s Hard difficulty as part of the [[Spring 2020 Event]]. It could have also been bought via a gamepass for {{Robux|350}} during Spring 2020, and can most recently be bought again for {{Robux|799}}.

The '''Swarmer''' deals damage by throwing beehives and later by firing bees, additionally applying a single stack of bees on an enemy. The struck enemy is then inflicted with the ''Bee Debuff'' effect, taking damage over time without requiring the '''Swarmer''' to directly attack it. The bee stack has a set duration for each level, in which it will then decay with the individual ''Bee Debuff'' effect expiring along with it. The enemy will be damaged each ''Tick'', the interval between each sting for a given amount of time, known as ''Sting Time''. This functions similarly to other forms of tick damage, such as the [[Pyromancer]]'s burn damage.

The '''Swarmer''' can apply multiple bee stacks at a single enemy, with each '''Swarmer''' having a cap that increases every level. Other '''Swarmers''' can contribute to the stack, exceeding the initial maximum stack in an instance where there is only one '''Swarmer''', and multiple bee stacks will inflict all of their collective DPS on a single target. When there are multiple stacks applied, ''Sting Time'' does not apply to each one. Instead, after the first stack's ''Sting Time'' ends, a single stack will be removed and the timer will restart. The ''Bee Debuff'' effect will persist so long as there is at least one extant stack. There is a limit of 10,000 stacks per enemy. This can damage [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] enemies and bypasses [[Defense]].

The '''Swarmer''' additionally has the ''Bee Swarm Grenade'' (internally just ''Swarm'') ability, where it throws a grenade that deals AOE damage and applies a single stack of bees to all enemies caught in the explosion radius. The ''Bee Debuff's'' stats from ''Bee Swarm Grenade'' is directly proportional to the current level of the '''Swarmer''' that it was thrown from. The bee swarm grenade's explosion deals explosion damage, bypassing defense, dealing damage to [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] while also having no damage drop off.

Due to its stacking capabilities, the '''Swarmer''' is generally considered to be a boss killer, being able to do quite high DPS when a lot of ''Bee Debuff'' effects are stacked. Additionally, it also has decent early game potential. It, however, is heavily hindered by its lack of detections and generally not being that strong with a low amount of extant bee stacks.
