Description

The Swarmer is an event tower that could have been obtained by triumphing Eggy Island hard mode as part of the Spring 2020 Event. It could have also been bought via limited time gamepass for 350.

The Swarmer is a spawner tower, however he works differently when compared to others. He summons various types of bees in a burst (3 bees at once), which will circle around his range until an enemy walks into it. These bees act as units which will attack enemies, with a certain amount of hp. They also have the ability to attack outside of the range of Swarmer.

There are in total 4 different bees, those being the normal, support, striker, and elite bees.

The higher the level, the stronger the bees, limit and health.

Strategy

• The Swarmer is a very build-up type of tower, so it is recommended to place him near the middle of the path of a map so he can have enough time to spawn his bees.
  • Swarmer has all-round versatility, so you can use him through any phase of the game.
• Beehive Grenade can be effectively used for bosses if your bees are lacking by themselves.
• Though Swarmer lacks hidden detection as well as his bees, hiddens can still be indirectly hit by Beehive Grenade. However, due to its inconsistency this isn't recommended.
• Your best build for Swarmer should consist of striker and support bees.
  • However, since the summons are luck based, you won't always get this.
• If the bees are attacking an enemy hit by the Beehive Grenade and also buffed by support bee, they deal 100% damage rather than the normal 50%.
• It is not advised to place the Swarmer at the front because of his requirement of building up bees.
  • Doing so is essentially a waste.

Trivia

• The Swarmer is based on R2DA's Swarmer in name and appearance.
  • Additionally, the Swarmer's Level 5 outfit is very similar to R2DA's Beekeeper Suit.
• The store description is taken from a scene involving Nicholas Cage in the film The Wicker Man.
• Immediately after the Swarmer's addition, it could have been bought for 2,500.
  • However, this was soon removed, and anyone who acquired the Swarmer this way was refunded.
• The damage statistic of the Swarmer will always remain at 1 whenever you open the upgrade box, no matter the level of the Swarmer.
  • This is because the Swarmer deals Bee Damage, and the stated damage is never used.
• Currently, most of the statistical changes on Levels 1–3 are not shown on the Swarmer's upgrade descriptions, with the exception of range and firerate.
  • Because of this, the Swarmer's Level 1 upgrade description is empty.
• While the total damage counter increases as if the Swarmer was not affected by defense, it is actually incorrect.
  • The actual damage dealt is decreased, but the total damage counter increases as if it were not.
