Spider Hatchlings (Hatchlings on the mobile version) are fast, tiny creatures spawned by Spider Matriarchs. They have no bounty, very few hit points, and take away one life each. The Spider Hatchling has no entry in the in-game encyclopedia.
Strategy[]
- One or two archer towers, and maybe some reinforcements and barracks are all that is needed to take them out. Their mothers are a different story...
- A Dwarven Howitzer can easily obliterate scores of them, so one should be sufficient to handle them. However they are very fast, so artillery should be supported with barracks.
- Killing them is worth no bounty (except on iOS and Flash, where they give 1), so the Spider Matriarchs should ideally be prevented from hatching them.
- Their magic resistance can tactically be ignored, as an Adept Tower can one-shot them even with the magic resistance factored in.
Trivia[]
- With 12 health on veteran, spider hatchlings have the lowest HP of any enemy in the series.
