Tower Defense Simulator (TDS) continues to evolve with exciting updates, and one of the most talked-about changes in recent times is the rework of the Swarmer tower. This once-forgotten tower has undergone a massive buff, turning it into one of the most powerful towers in the game. But just how strong is the Swarmer now? In this guide, we’ll break down its strengths, weaknesses, and how to use it effectively in your defense strategy.

What is the Swarmer Tower?

The Swarmer is a limited-time event tower in Tower Defense Simulator. Before its rework, the Swarmer was considered one of the weakest towers, struggling to compete with the game’s stronger units. However, with the recent rework, the Swarmer has been massively buffed, making it one of the most potent damage-dealing towers in the game.

The Swarmer attacks by sending out bees that deal damage to enemies and apply a bee effect that stacks. As you level up the Swarmer, it unlocks additional abilities, including the explosive beehive grenade, which can deal splash damage and apply more bee effects to enemies. This stacking mechanic, combined with the ability to spam multiple Swarmers, can turn your defense into an unstoppable force.

Swarmer Rework: Stats and Changes

The Swarmer’s rework dramatically improved its stats. Let’s break down the key changes at each level:

  • Level 0: Costs 450 cash, deals 1 damage, and applies a bee effect with a tick rate of 0.75 seconds.
  • Level 1: Costs 750 cash, deals 2 damage, and has increased tick rates. It also has a slight base DPS increase.
  • Level 2: Costs 1,250 cash, deals 4 damage, and unlocks the Beehive Grenade ability, which deals splash damage.
  • Level 3: Costs 2,750 cash, deals 10 damage, and increases B duration and base DPS.
  • Level 4: Costs 5,750 cash, deals 15 damage, and further increases range and DPS while enhancing the Beehive Grenade.
  • Level 5: Costs 11,750 cash, deals 25 damage, and boasts insane DPS with its stacked bees and enhanced Beehive Grenade.

As you can see, the Swarmer’s damage output increases significantly, especially with its ability to stack bees and deal overwhelming damage.

How to Use the Swarmer

While the Swarmer is an excellent late-game tower, its performance in the early game is somewhat limited. It’s best to deploy it in the mid to late stages of the game, where its stacking bees can truly shine. Here’s a quick breakdown of how to use the Swarmer effectively:

  • Early Game: In its initial stages, the Swarmer is weak and can only defend up until wave 2. It’s not the best choice for early waves.
  • Mid Game: Once you’ve leveled up the Swarmer, it becomes a powerful tool for eliminating tanky, slower enemies. By stacking bees, you can achieve tremendous DPS output, especially against high-health enemies.
  • Late Game: The Swarmer becomes a beast in the late game, capable of shredding even the toughest bosses. With multiple Swarmers placed, you can deal thousands of DPS and easily take down high-tier bosses like the Void Reaver.

How to Maximize the Swarmer’s Effectiveness

 

  • Pair with the Commander: The Swarmer’s bee stacks are not affected by damage buffs, so it’s essential to bring along a Commander to boost its overall DPS.
  • Use the DJ Tower: Set the DJ tower to the purple track to increase the Swarmer’s range, allowing it to cover more ground and apply more bee stacks.
  • Focus on Mid to Late Game: Since the Swarmer is a late-game powerhouse, make sure to focus on defending early waves with other towers and then deploy the Swarmer once you’ve built up enough cash.
  • Spam the Beehive Grenade: Make sure to use the Beehive Grenade ability as often as possible to stack more bees and increase DPS.

In terms of raw damage potential, the Swarmer has set a new benchmark for towers in Tower Defense Simulator. Its ability to stack bees, combined with its cost-effectiveness and insane DPS, makes it one of the best towers in the game right now. While it does have a few weaknesses, like the lack of detection and the need for bee stacking, it more than makes up for it with its incredible damage output.

If you’re a fan of Tower Defense Simulator and have the Robux to spare, the Swarmer is definitely worth considering. Just keep in mind that it may not stay as powerful forever, so use it to your advantage while you can. Happy defending!
