Rat Swarm Strategy Tips

Step one - make sure you’re not carrying any cheese. Step two – these things aren’t very dangerous, but they’re good for slowing down, and weakening, some really big monsters while the rest of your fantasy warriors chill out and watch the Oscars. Or maybe get stuff done with bows, arrows and spells. Make sure to keep these things away from enemy wizards and dragons though! One big blast of flame will turn your happy pile of ratty doom into a pile of crispy, and stinky, barbequed rodent.
