This article is about the Wasp enemy. For the pet, see Wasp (Pet).

The Wasp is a flying enemy that spawns exclusively in the Infested Ruins and The Great Turkey Defense, replacing Wyverns on those maps. From a distance, it attacks with green venom spit which slows down heroes hit and disables their activated abilities. At melee range, it cuts the target with its sharp appendages.

Wasps take 60% less damage from all defenses. In Redux, Wasps are weak to fire; they take 1.5x fire damage. Their spit attack does less damage.

Tips

• SAM Units in Redux are one of the most powerful defenses to take down swarms between the middle and east cores, especially in-combination with Oil Traps. Wasps are treated like Wyverns, thus having target priority second to only Djinn which spawn at the same locations.

Trivia

• This enemy is likely a Wyvern variant by technicality. They never spit at Eternia Crystals, Snowball Towers can freeze them and they have increased target priority to Deadly Striker Towers and SAM Units.
• In real life, wasps are predatory insects similar to bees. Most species don't make their own honey; they instead steal it from bee colonies. The Mexican honey wasp is one of the very few species that produce honey. It is unclear as to what or which species this enemy is based on.
