Know Your Enemy
Every threat in the cosmos, from Tier-1 jellies to the Pulsar Guardian. Tank enemies soak damage, Ranged enemies fire from afar, and Outer Galaxy mobs hit dramatically harder.
The Swarm — 52 Foes
HP and damage scale steeply by tier. Difficulty multipliers (Hard ×1.5, Cosmic ×2.5 HP) stack on top of these base values.

How to survive the swarm
🌀 Kite in wide circles
Never stand still. Lead the swarm in a big loop so your auto-fire and trailing AoE pools (napalm, toxic, fire) mow them down as they chase. Tanks and ranged enemies are the exception — peel away from Tanks and break line-of-sight on Ranged.
⚠️ Respect the Outer Galaxy
Tier 11+ mobs jump from hundreds to thousands of HP and 140–330 contact damage. Don't push into sectors 11–20 until your build has a finished evolution and your permanent damage/HP upgrades are deep — or Cosmic difficulty will end you in seconds.
🎯 Prioritise Ranged & elites
Ranged enemies (marked in the tables) chip you from off-screen. Reposition so your weapons clear them first, then return to the melee swarm.
The 7 Cosmic Bosses
Each sector ends in a boss. They have a weak side — hit it for bonus damage and burn them down before their contact damage shreds you.
