Dark Spitters are grotesque beings that transform soldiers into servants of Godieth.
Overview[]
Corrupted creatures who spit dark blood. Their precision is lethal.
With a large amount of health and armor, Dark Spitters are quite tough to kill. They have a ranged attack in which they spit poisonous blood at units. Dark Blood deals initially 50-72 physical damage, then afflicts 80 poison damage over 3 seconds. If afflicted soldiers get killed either by poison or by other ways, they are turned into Shadowspawn (very much like Driders' poison), allowing a single Dark Spitter to quickly overrun an ill-prepared defense with an army of undead.
Contrary to their in-game description in iOS, Dark Spitters do not regenerate health over time.
Strategy[]
- High-level magic towers like the Wild Magi and High Elven Mages are the best option for dealing with Dark Spitters, as Ranged Towers will have difficulty overcoming their armor (particularly in Impossible difficulty).
- Keep low-level soldiers away from them, as the Dark Spitters won't be delayed for very long and your soldiers will quickly be turned into Shadowspawn, worsening the situation.
- Sending your hero or Reinforcements to engage them in physical combat is a good idea, as their melee attack is weaker than their ranged attack and does not turn soldiers into Shadowspawn. A lone Dark Spitter can easily be stalled by reinforcements while the mages go to work.
- Sometimes, they will come in a group of 3 or more at the end of a wave. Fortunately, a single use of Thunderbolt will kill all of them, and it is highly recommended to use it before they can get to your soldiers.
