Frost Flea

#Overview

The Frost Flea is the tier-1 pest of Frozen-Fries Tundra, and the only one, so almost every early spawn in the tundra is a flea. On Normal, tier-1 pests make up 8 in 9 spawns until 4:00, become a minority from 5:00 and stop spawning at 9:00 (10:00 on Easy). As a tier-1 pest it is never an elite.

It hops straight at Tibo at speed 40 and hurts only on contact, for 3 base damage. With 7 base HP and no mass it is fragile and easy to knock back, close in stats to the Aphid and Parking Lot Gull. A kill gives 1 XP and a 3% chance of a coin.

#Tips

• Fleas move at about two-thirds of Tibo's base speed. Walking in a wide circle keeps them trailing behind in a group, where area weapons can hit many at once.

#Where it appears
