Enemies

Introduction

The Enemies hub is your field guide to the Locust Horde, the underground army that erupts onto Sera during Emergence Day. From the standard Drone soldier to the colossal Brumak war machine, every Locust creature has a distinct behavior, a weak point and a best way to bring it down. E-Day's combat is built around dismemberment and target prioritization — blow off a Boomer's weapon arm, expose a Corpser's underbelly, or focus fire on a Brumak's exposed core. This guide covers each enemy type's threat tier, attack patterns, weaknesses and the weapons and tactics that counter them, so you can hold the line whether you are in the campaign, Versus or Horde Siege.

Enemy Roster

Core Mechanics

The Locust Horde is a tiered enemy army. Drones are the standard soldiers you will fight most, Wretches are fast melee swarm units that crawl walls and lunge, and Boomers are heavily armored elites that carry grenade launchers. Above them sit the boss-tier threats: Corpsers, armored spider-like creatures that burst through walls and floors, and Brumaks, colossal war machines that require coordinated heavy-weapon fire. Every enemy is designed around dismemberment — legs can be shot out to cripple movement, weapon arms to remove threats, and heads to finish. Emergence Holes continuously spawn these enemies, so controlling the battlefield means closing holes fast.

Advantages

The Locust roster is varied enough that every weapon has a role. Shotguns dismantle Wretches and Drones at close range, precision weapons handle Boomer heads and Longshot picks off elites from range, and heavy weapons are essential for the armor of Corpsers and Brumaks. Dismemberment rewards accurate target selection — a Drone without its gun arm is harmless, a Boomer without legs can be finished at leisure. Understanding these counters turns overwhelming swarms into a series of manageable priorities. The tiered enemy design means every weapon has a role, and understanding the roster turns overwhelming swarms into manageable priorities. Dismemberment rewards accuracy — a Drone without a gun arm is neutralized, and a Boomer without legs can be finished at leisure. This creates satisfying skill expression, because the same fight plays differently depending on how well you pick your targets and when you commit your heavy weapons.

Challenges

The Horde is most dangerous when it attacks from multiple angles and uses numbers. Wretch swarms can surround you if you are caught in the open, and Boomer grenade launchers punish static positions. Corpser ambushes through walls make camping dangerous, and Brumaks force you to abandon cover to focus damage on weak points. Boss-tier enemies have heavy armor that ignores small-arms fire, so players who refuse to switch to heavy weapons will struggle badly in the campaign's hardest encounters. The Horde is at its most dangerous when it attacks from multiple angles, and the AI is good at flanking players who camp. Wretch swarms punish static positions, Boomer grenades force you to move, and Corpser ambushes can burst through walls at any moment. Boss-tier enemies ignore small-arms fire entirely, so a loadout without a heavy weapon is effectively dead weight in the campaign's toughest set-pieces.
