An EDF Soldier swarmed by Tickers.
Overview
Tickers (also called Ticks, Tick Spiders or Baby Bombers) are the smallest enemies in Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon. They attack the enemy by latching onto their back and exploding. They are either spawned in the level or they are spawned from a Bomber Spider. They are very weak but are also extremely small, making them hard targets to shoot. The main advantage of the ticks over any other type of enemy is its great speed where they run towards you and dodge out of the way quite often.
Removing Tickers
They can be removed by an ally shooting them off, using the Battle's blastwave ability, or by hitting the Y (Xbox 360) or the Triangle (Playstation 3) button repeatedly to fill the onscreen bar. The higher the difficulty, the less time is available to fill the removal completion bar. Removing tickers takes precedence over all other interactions and must be completed before performing them.
Trivia
- The Tickers, though named after Ticks, appear to actually be inspired by the happy-face spider, theridion grallator, which is indigenous to Hawai'i.
