Stats[]
Battle[]
The bees appear in a swarm alongside killer bees and their stings inflict Poison. They are weak to one-handed swords, firearms and ice. When vulnerable, they lie on the floor and don't attack for a time. Their stinging attack can be parried.
Strategy[]
Status protection accessories and food buffs come in use.
There are rocks around the area where the player can point-warp to replenish MP and to escape the swarm. The player can throw ice elemancy at the swarm to damage many bees at once. Higher level elemancy engulfs the area in a blizzard to deal continuous damage to them. Ignis can bestow the ice element to Noctis's weapon with Enhancement to boost his damage.
Warp-striking can take the bees down and leave the vulnerable. The player can point-warp to a rock and then warp-strike the bees from a distance for a good damage multiplier. One can use a weapon that deals area damage with warp-strikes, like the Shield of the Just, to warp-strike numerous bees grouped close together.
If the player has the Cerberus sniper rifle, the player can stand back and pick the bees out one-by-one (easy in Wait Mode). The player can also character-swap to Prompto, or use his Piercer, which hits all bees in a line and can debuff them. Gladiolus's area of effect techniques can be good, as can be Ignis's Mark.
