Plan your next Swarmvore session

Our independent guide breaks down Swarmvore’s documented systems so you can observe how each element interacts. By recording simple data and comparing outcomes, you can refine decisions about upgrades, gene choices, power timing, and visual settings without relying on hidden mechanics.

01 / THE GUIDE

Run Efficiency Tracking

Measure biomass collected per minute across several runs. Compare runs where you purchase upgrades early versus later to see how timing influences overall efficiency.

  • Observe how quickly biomass accumulates before spending it; early purchases can change the swarm’s growth rate.
  • Try letting the swarm expand briefly before intervening with an upgrade to see how natural growth affects later stages.

02 / THE GUIDE

Gene Pair Testing

Select two different genes for a series of runs, noting changes in survivability and depth reached. Record which pairings consistently allow deeper progress.

  • Pair a defensive gene with an offensive mutation to cover both survivability and damage.
  • Track which gene combinations let you survive longer before reaching the next depth.

03 / THE GUIDE

Power Timing Comparison

In identical combat scenarios, activate each of the six active powers at different moments. Observe how early versus late activation affects enemy disruption and swarm health.

  • Activate a power when enemy fire peaks to maximize its disruptive effect.
  • Experiment with different power orders to see which sequence fits your current swarm composition.

04 / THE GUIDE

Depth Threat Documentation

Play through depths 0 to 5, writing down how structures and threats evolve. Use these notes to anticipate new patterns when attempting deeper levels.

  • Notice how enemy patterns shift with each depth to anticipate new hazards.
  • After unlocking new genes, replay earlier depths to test how the changes affect performance.

05 / THE GUIDE

Camera Setting Impact

Switch between zoom levels and effect intensities, then record how each setting changes your ability to spot threats and manage the swarm’s focus.

  • Set zoom to a level that lets you see incoming threats without crowding the screen.
  • Use the rally command sparingly to focus the swarm on high‑value targets.
