Stat Explanation

This page shows creature stats, abilities and effects.

Introductions

Measurement units

Time-related stats are measured in seconds.

Length-related stats should be used in comparison with the movement speed of gene-thief ant workers, which is 300 length units per second.

Stat segregation

Some creatures have abilities and stats specifically designed for certain missions. They can't use them anywhere else.

Some creatures have different stats between story mode and custom game mode. In this wiki, story-mode stats are red while custom-game-mode stats are green.

Some extra missions also make use of custom-game-mode stats.

Extra mechanics

Attacking

Abilities that either execute or inflict damage on enemies will be called attacks in this wiki.

Every creature has basic attack but not all of them can use it. It inflicts physical damage on a single enemy and doesn't have effect or cooldown. Most titans and uber creatures can inflict splash damage with basic attack.

Some ants and termites have special abilities that have the same animation as basic attack and no cooldown. It is done to create an impression that basic attack is inflicting status effects without going against the established mechanics. These attacks must be used while users are on the ground and basic attack can only be used while users are mounting enemies.

Targeting

Attacking creatures give themselves a stackable threat value after each hitting attack. It reverts to normal over time. The basic threat generation speed is 0.1 per hit. Some creatures can generate extra threat value on top of it.

Attacking creatures randomly pick their targets among the closest enemies. The combat distance between attacking creatures is calculated based on the actual distance between their hitbox centers divided by threat value of the respective enemies.

Smaller and quicker creatures are more likely to be the targets of relaliation than larger and slower ones.

Overlapping

It has been revealed that creatures are categorized into 5 size-groups, not including titans. Smaller creatures can move and attack beneath larger ones. Only a certain number of same-sized creatures can move and attack at once in an area.

Attacking creatures are briefly prevented from attacking and move around to find better position if they can't hit enemies within their vision radius. You may see your units running forward and into enemies while fighting in choke points due to this mechanic.

Stacking

The same status effect can be inflicted on the same creature multiple times at once.

• None: Effect value remains the same. Effect duration is reset and counts down from the most recent hit.

• Length stacking: Effect value remains the same. Effect duration is added up.

• Value stacking: Effect value is added up. Effect duration remains the same and counts down from the first hit.
