Storm-Swift Swarm
Level 22 Wildlife · Thunderbird's Perch
In Desperados Destiny, Storm-Swift Swarm is a level 22 wildlife — a late-game threat for a well-equipped character.
Field notes
A flock of high-altitude swifts that defend the upper drafts with rotating wave attacks — the first wave passes through, the second strikes, the third follows the player's dodge. They learned this from the Thunderbirds.
What you are walking into
Storm-Swift Swarm is level 22, carries 198 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a late-game threat for a well-equipped character. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Storm-Swift Swarm plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Storm-Swift Swarm
Storm-Swift Swarm is encountered at Thunderbird's Perch. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination.
What it drops
A kill pays 264 experience and between $8 and $22. Its loot table can yield Hawk Feathers and Talons. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
