Desert

The **Desert** is a scenario in florr.io. It has a yellow background and mobs that would typically inhabit a real world desert.

This is the new Desert area until 6/5/23.

## Map Tiles

Desert Biome consists of 6 Maps: D1-D5,EP (new map Ellne Pass).sbg

* \*Top Right D1: Garden G1
* Top EP: Ocean G4
* Bottom D2: Ant Hell (Fire Ant, A1)
* Right D3: Jungle J3

## Strategies

*See also: Tutorials/Desert*

* Desert features no ranged mobs (except for the scorpion, but it only shoots one projectile), but rather a lot of quick wandering ones. Many have high body damage, so ramming into one leads to disaster. High DPS petals such as the Sand, Light and Faster are required, as they can take care of mobs quickly. All mobs are vulnerable to Webs, which can help mitigate their high movement speed, giving players more time to deal damage.
* Very few people enter here.
* The best strategy is to have one player spam Webs in a corner, creating a wall that slows down mobs that pass through. The other players should use high DPS petals to take out mobs before they can reach them.
* Sandstorms are deceptively difficult. They have randomized movement, meaning that they can't become aggressive toward players. However, this also makes them unpredictable. Having high body damage, a few hits from one can cause a quick, unexpected death. They also have a decent amount of HP, so players must be able to dodge them for a few seconds before it is killed.
	+ Ranged petals can allow players to stay in safety while attacking the sandstorms.
* Desert Centipedes are not that difficult due to low body damage but are a nuisance. They're hard to kill due to being fast and have relatively unpredictable movement. They're often the last enemy alive at the end of a wave and can be difficult to chase down.
	+ Desert Centipedes can be dangerous if other mobs are around. If one is running away, they may impede movement. If unlucky, they may even ram a player, knocking them back into a swarm of deadly mobs.
* Beetles and Scorpions are the primary late wave mobs. They have moderate health and high body damage. In swarms, it is best to hunker down in a corner while someone spams Webs to hold them back.
	+ Pollens are also a great way to deal with Beetles and Scorpions. Equip them in your slots as many as you can. Using this strategy will leave a trail to damage mobs that are chasing you.
	+ Leaf is not quite effective when it comes to Scorpions. Scorpions gives poison damage and lasts longer, and the Leaf won't be able to heal when the flower is poisoning. Try using Roses.
* Fire Ant Burrows should only be triggered when no other mobs are nearby. Fire Ants can take a while to take down, so it is essential that there is an open area where other mobs can't interfere. Teammates should assist a player being chased by fire ants.
	+ Avoid triggering multiple burrows at once, as this can create an unstoppable swarm. A large swarm can push some fire ants ahead, making the swarm move faster than the flower. If this occurs, the player will likely incur tons of damage.

## Mob Spawning (Pls update to new florr maps)

### General

The table above shows the first wave that each mob can spawn on. All mobs will spawn after wave 4 unless there is a special wave.

Certain mobs tend to spawn more often in higher waves. This is shown in the table.

### Special Waves

Special Waves of Desert

Each wave, other than the wave that a game starts on, has a 15% chance of being a special wave. A special wave is when only a few specific types of mobs spawn in the wave. A special wave can only spawn mobs that would normally be able to spawn on the wave (for example, a Ladybug/Dark Ladybug special wave on wave 2 would only spawn normal Ladybugs, since Dark Ladybugs first spawn on wave 3). The possible special waves in Desert are shown in the table above.

## Trivia

* This is very similar to the Medium zone from Legacy Florr.io.
