Revision 2

Bloodflies are aggressive insect swarmers that live in the swamps and humid lowlands of the Valley of Mines. Alkimia Interactive revealed a remake concept art for the Bloodfly in November 2022 and followed up with a redesign sneak peek through a Steam news post.

Combat

• Fast and airborne. Bloodflies close in quickly and attack from angles that are awkward for melee weapons.

• Swarm threat. They spawn in groups, which makes them more dangerous than their individual damage would suggest.

• Swamp hazard. Encounters around the Swamp Camp and similar wetland areas are common.

Tactics

Because Bloodflies are small, airborne, and fast, the parry-and-riposte pattern that works on humanoid enemies is less reliable. Bow attacks, spells, or patient melee arcs that account for the altitude differential are more effective. See Combat System for more on how the remake's combat tiers handle small, fast enemies.
