Sword Spiders are giant spiders dwelling in the southern continent home to the elves. They are cousins of the Giant Spiders and Jungle Spiders of the north.
Overview[]
Fierce spiders with blade-like legs as sharp as finely forged swords.
Just like other spiders, Sword Spiders are fast, numerous, resistant to magic and not quite durable. They can be killed easily with a combination of Barracks and Artillery, but avoid relying too much on Mages - the spiders will mostly shrug them off. Contrary to their in-game description, their damage is actually rather low so barracks soldiers and Reinforcements can stall them for a long time.
Strategy[]
- Arcane Archers are a good start to place in front of the player defenses, hence their attack rate are sufficient to kill Sword Spiders before they ran past through the stage.
