TL;DR
The Swarm King (True Sting) spawns Lesser Stings that explode on death for AoE damage. Don't kill all adds at once — stagger their deaths to avoid burst damage. Preservation path with Gepard/Fu Xuan is the safest clear.
Best Paths (Community Consensus)
| Path | Difficulty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Preservation | Easiest | Shields negate Sting explosions |
| Propagation | Medium | Thematic, high damage but risky |
| Abundance | Easy | Outheal everything, slower clear |
| Hunt | Hard | Speed clear, high risk of oneshots |
