The swarm handbook / 01
Your first steps in the tower
The battle starts before you enter the arena. Choose your creatures, prepare their captains and see how your swarm performs in a hundred-floor tower.
What kind of game is this?
Insect Tower 100 is a strategy game with creature collecting and automatic combat. You do not direct every attack during a battle: your decisions concern unit counts, attributes, equipment and the species you bring. The arena shows how that preparation performs; higher estimated formation power does not guarantee a win.

Your first session, step by step
Sign in to your account
Open the game and sign in or create an account. Use the same account to recover your progress. If your connection fails, wait for it to recover before repeating a purchase or an ascent.
Choose your first creature
Ant, Mosquito and Spider are the starting choices. Each belongs to a different family. Your choice gives you your first captain and one unit; review the profile before confirming.
Prepare your captain
Allocate the initial points to attack, defense, speed, poison and bite. Check the preview: you can adjust the proposal before confirming, but confirmed points cannot be freely redistributed. These species unlock synergy by completing a family.
Save a formation
In Formation, select between one and three unlocked species. Every unit you own of each selected species participates, not just its captain. Check power and unit counts before looking for a battle.
Play and review the result
In Battle, online ranked mode searches for participants on your floor and may fill the arena with bots. Afterwards, review placement, damage, survivors and the confirmed reward. Return to your formation to decide what to improve.
Learning from a defeat
If your swarm falls early, review unit counts, defense and equipment. If it survives but deals little damage, compare attack, bite and poison. These are clues for trying a different setup, not a guaranteed winning recipe: opponent numbers, their formations and events in the arena matter too.
Change one decision at a time when comparing results. A purchase increases a species' unit count, while improving its captain affects all units of that species. Review both options before spending gold.
Gold, IP and IC are different
- Gold
- Buys creatures and items. Battle rewards depend on floor, placement and encounter type; check the results.
- Insect Points (IP)
- Competitive score. They are not spent as gold and are not Insect Coins.
- Insect Coins (IC)
- Earned by unlocking floors and used to redeem coupons on the website. They do not buy combat advantages. The floor guide lists every amount.
Before you leave
Wait for confirmation of the result or operation you have just completed. The daily chest is separate from ascent rewards: check its availability in the game. Keep your sign-in details for your next session; closing a tab does not delete your account.
