Draw shamblers is a psychic ritual that causes a horde of shamblers to enter the map upon which it is cast.

Acquisition[edit]

Note that this research requires dark study to unlock. The ritual takes 5,000 ticks (2 in-game hours) to complete.

Summary[edit]

  • Causes a ritual quality dependent total combat power of shamblers to enter the map. Note that the total combat power depends on both the number and types of shamblers that spawn, with higher total combat powers tending to more and more dangerous shamblers.[Verify][Details]

Analysis[edit]

Offensive Use[edit]

Draw Shamblers is a ritual for raids you anticipate to happen, i.e through quests, toxic wastepack Content added by the Biotech DLC dumping, or Mechanoid bosses Content added by the Biotech DLC, it is important to have a fully sealed base with no colonists or tamed animals exposed to the outside. The raid now prioritizes the shambler horde which will usually overwhelm mech bosses including Diabolus Content added by the Biotech DLC due to shamblers ignoring being set on fire, netting free chips.

Note due to the inconsistency of where the horde spawns, the ritual will not be ideal for sieges or horax cultists unless they are provoked through other means, this is where draw fleshbeasts is most helpful as their spawn targets a enemy's location however they often have far less numbers combined with worse health and will most likely not deal with large raids on their own.
