Crawlers are the basic melee unit of the Chaos Empire. They attack in packs, picking off larger and stronger units.


Appearance[]

Stick War II: Order Empire/ Stick Empires[]

Crawlers are small, cat-like creatures, perched in a stalking position while standing. Three tufts of fur stick on the animal's head, accompanied by two penetrating red eyes. Behind the Crawler's mass is a long monkey tail, waving up and down slowly.

Stick War: Saga[]

Crawlers now have a more reptilian appearance with a tapered nose, pointed teeth, claws, and small spikes on their backs. The fur on their head is replaced with large spines.

Abilities[]

Stick War II: Order Empire/ Stick Empires[]

Pack Mentality[]

The Crawler gains bonus attack damage for each Crawler you have in play (stacking up to 5 times).

Predatory Edge[]

Increases the Crawler's movement speed from 6 to 7.5.

Strategies[]

Using[]

  • Crawlers are normally used as the starting unit for Chaos, as the only other Chaos unit available at the start is the Bomber, Enslaved Miner, and the Castle Dead.
  • Crawlers have a fast attack animation, this allows you to "cancel animation" and defeat Swordwraths easily if done correctly
  • The effectiveness of using Crawlers is maximized if used in conjunction with Bombers, with the Crawlers protecting the Bombers to prevent premature detonation.

Countering[]

  • Crawlers have low health so Speartons, Archidons, Castle units, Tanky units, and AOE units can counter crawlers.

Notes[]

  • Crawlers have been buffed in the past by reducing their build time from 12 seconds to the current 10.
  • If a Spearton kills a Crawler it will show an animation of the Crawler jumping and then the Spearton thrusts his spear through it's chest, killing it, then planting his foot on the dead Crawler.
  • In Stick Empires, Crawlers share a death sound with Scorplings.
