Wasps are basic fliers. One look at the Wasp's stats and you would wonder why they're regarded as one of the most feared flying units around. It's only then that you realize it's not their stats that make them fearsome, it's their abilities. They possess a poison attack three times stronger than that of the Dragonfly, ensuring its poison lands even against the most resilient units. But that's not all, for their biggest asset is their ability to assassinate its target! It's almost insulting to see a Dragon or even a Titan pop to a single untimely hit from a Wasp. The Swarm are the only race that get access to these flying terrors along with Heroes who have Poison magic, so you won't be seeing them too often.

The Swarm is the only race who can actively produce Wasps and it seems they were designed to fill their terrible anti-aerial support in a novelty way - assassination. Wasps may have poor stats, still better than that of a Bat, but their chance of assassination can deter Dragons and even flying Titans from approaching them. However, being random and luck based means it can be as useless as it can be battle turning, and so is something that you really shouldn't rely on. Its chance to poison is much more likely and with The Swarm having an unique research that doubles the power of poison, even a recent successful infliction can prove fatal in just a few moments. Most basic fliers in the game are near useless but, even though a Wasp's true power lies in luck, they can be a great addition to the army of The Swarm.
