Strategy

• High DPS towers, such as the Ranger, Pursuit or Engineer are recommended to take down this enemy.
  • All the listed towers also receive crowd control capabilities at certain Levels, making them able to damage multiple Fleshlings at once.
  • The Accelerator can also be quite powerful against Fleshlings , though do note that it might lock on the Amalgamation causing the Fleshlings to slip by.
• Since multiple of them spawn at once, towers that can damage multiple enemies like the Golden Pyromancer, Mortar or Electroshocker can be good at dealing with groups of Fleshlings.

Trivia

• The Fleshling, despite never being intended to appear in a server with more than four players, has MEGA Servers health scaling. It increases its health by 150 for every player after 4 players.
  • Due to 150 being close to as much as its regular health, its health is basically doubled in five player servers and tripled in six player servers.
  • This is most likely carried over from the original Amalgamation, which also increased its health by 150.
