↑ Bee damage stacks with other Swarmers by 50%. Ex: (Swarmer 1) 4 Bee damage + (Swarmer 2) (4÷2)
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 Level 0-2 on hit gives the Sticky effect, which slow downs the enemy on hit. Level 5 grants the Beehive Grenade ability which creates a Sticky puddle.
↑ Total Elapsed Damage is (Sting Time ÷ Tick) × Bee Damage.
↑ DPS assumes that only one enemy is currently being stung. (Level 0-2) Damage ÷ Fire rate
(Level 3+) DPS is calculated by Bee Damage ÷ Tick Length.
