Swarm Mob

Swarm

The Swarm is a group of small insects that act as a single enemy unit in Remixed Dungeon. It's an unusual mob that splits into multiple smaller swarms when defeated.

Overview

A Swarm consists of dozens of small insects that appear as a single creature but function differently from typical mobs. The Swarm is immune to most status effects due to its nature as a collection of small creatures. According to the game description, “The deadly swarm of flies buzzes angrily. Every non-magical attack will split it into two smaller but equally dangerous swarms.”

Stats

  • HP: 80 (HT: 80)
  • Defense Skill: 5
  • Attack Skill: 12
  • Damage: 1-4
  • Armor: 0 DR (Defense Rating)
  • EXP for Kill: 7 (varies based on splitting)
  • Maximum Level: 10
  • Characteristics: Immune to most status effects (poison, paralysis, etc.), flying

Abilities

  • Splitting: When hurt (but not killed), splits into smaller swarms based on damage taken, each with remaining HP
  • Immunity: Immune to most status effects due to its swarm nature
  • Flying: Can move over terrain that blocks other creatures
  • Loot: May drop a Potion of Healing at a chance that decreases with each generation of the split swarm

Occurrence

  • Primary Location: Found throughout the Prison level and other dungeon levels
  • Spawn Frequency:
    • Sewer Level: 2% chance (level 3)
    • Prison Level: 1 in level 6, 1 in level 7, 1 in level 8, 1 in level 9
  • Group Behavior: Usually found alone

Strategy

  • Use area-of-effect attacks or spells to damage multiple swarms at once
  • Focus on one swarm at a time to prevent multiplication
  • Magic-based attacks (like wands) work better than physical attacks to avoid splitting
  • Fire-based attacks and AoE spells work well against swarms
  • Be careful not to let them split multiple times, leading to a large number of enemies
  • Area effect attacks like the Scroll of Psionic Blast, Scroll of Fire, or Ignite Spell can be very effective

Special Notes

  • The splitting mechanic can lead to exponential multiplication if not handled carefully
  • Due to its nature, many status effects are ineffective against swarms
  • Swarms are generally not very dangerous individually but can overwhelm with numbers
  • Each generation of split swarms has decreasing chances of dropping healing potions
