Warhammer Survivors is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, and PC Game Pass. The survivors-style roguelite draws on Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, with Gloomspite Gitz enemies that swarm, charge, and strike with unpredictable attacks.
The Gitz worship the Bad Moon, but they are far from a single, predictable mob. Auroch Digital’s Xbox Wire breakdown of the Gloomspite Gitz details the different threats and their attack patterns.
Watch the swarm and the Squigs
Moonclan Stabbas crowd the battlefield in large numbers, so keep moving and avoid letting the swarm surround you. Squig Hoppers are harder to predict, bouncing across the screen in erratic paths. A nearby Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig boosts their attack damage, making it a threat worth prioritizing or keeping clear of.
Boinggrot Bounders take a more direct approach, charging toward you with lances. Move out of their path instead of waiting for the attack to reach you. Mangler Squigs arrive as a pair, and their connecting chain can hurt you as well as their bites. When one falls, the other becomes deadlier, so leave yourself room to avoid the survivor.
Keep your distance from the Troggoths
Rockgut Troggoths move slowly but can take a beating and regenerate. Auroch Digital recommends Maleneth’s Poisoned Daggers to wear them down from range.
Trugg the Troggoth King brings broad, telegraphed strikes with his Ironshell Club, while his arcane keystone sends bursts of elemental projectiles across the battlefield. Avoid the marked impact areas and watch for those projectiles, which can inflict burning, poisoning, or bleeding. The guide warns that Trugg has a weakness players must discover, rather than naming a specific counter.
