The Wasp Queen is the boss of Infested Ruins during its Campaign.

Combat

The Wasp Queen spawns and approaches from the northeast corner of the map. She attempts to get into melee range of her target, slicing them with her sharp appendages. From a distance, she either shoots a homing stringer or 'vomits' out a spread of poison spit balls. The former causes continuous poison damage overtime to whatever heroes or defenses hit. The queen can also summon Wasps to her aide and push aside non-minion defenses she collides with.

Strategies

• Have at least one DPS hero hold her attention by the east crystal to prevent the queen from sheading your team's main damage towers. The Wasp Queen and player should be kept inside a Strength Drain and Healing Aura, both of which are beam-buffed to greatly improve survivability.
• Adding a Reflection Beam in front of the boss will not block her spit or stingers, but it can help shield against the other Wasps which can slowdown heroes and shut off their active abilities.

Trivia

In real life, like bees, every colony of wasps has a single queen who is responsible for laying eggs inside their nest.
