Turn 1

How to beat Fuzzy Wurm Crawler

  • This is a race: its damage is trivial for two turns and dangerous by turn five, and 7 Strength per Inhale means there is no point trying to out-block it late.
  • Deal your damage early, kill it by the second Inhale if at all possible, and treat the Inhale turn as a free turn to attack rather than to set up.
  • In Overgrowth Crawlers, kill the Crawler before the Shrinker Beetle; the beetle does not scale like this.

Notes

  • Overgrowth enemy, 55 to 57 HP (58 to 59 at Ascension 8+).
  • It appears alone as a weak fight and with a Shrinker Beetle in Overgrowth Crawlers.
  • The opening Goop is a separate hidden state, so the compendium only lists Acid Goop and Inhale.
  • Inhale visibly puffs it up until it next attacks.
