Swarm Mob
Description
A Swarm is a cluster of bats that act as a single mob. It's a flying creature with low individual damage but high hit points and the ability to split when damaged.
Stats
- HP: 80
- Attack Skill: 12
- Defense Skill: 5
- Damage: 1-4
- Level: Up to level 10
- Max Level: 10
- EXP: Not specified (likely 0 like other low-level mobs)
Properties
- Flying: Swarms can fly over obstacles
- Splitting: When taking damage and having sufficient HP (at least damage + 2), the Swarm will split into two separate Swarms
- Loot: Drops Potion of Healing with 0.2f basic chance, reduced by generation level (chance / (generation + 1f))
Behavior
- When attacked and has enough health (HP >= damage + 2), a Swarm will split into two Swarms
- Each new Swarm has reduced health relative to the original
- Each new Swarm has reduced loot drop chance based on its generation level
- Multiple generations can exist from a single original Swarm
- As flying creatures, they're unaffected by terrain features like chasms or webbing
Strategy
- Area-of-effect attacks can damage multiple Swarm entities at once
- Be careful with high-damage attacks as they can cause a Swarm to split into multiple enemies
- Consider using low-damage attacks to avoid splitting
- Swarms are particularly dangerous in groups due to their multiplication ability
