Abilities
Cling —
Inexorable — The apocalypse ant swarm recovers from the slowed and stunned conditions at the end of its turn. It's immune to penalties to its Speeds and ignores difficult terrain and greater difficult terrain.
Swarming Bites — Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 7d8 piercing damage (DC 39 Fortitude). A creature that fails its save against Swarming Bites becomes Clumsy 1 for 1 round (1 minute on a critical failure). If the creature attempts a concentrate or manipulate action while affected, it must succeed at a DC 5 Flat or the action is lost; roll the check after spending the action, but before any effects are applied.
WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AERIALThe Anvil controls a chokepoint while the swarm's inexorable advance pushes enemies between them.
ShadeLAND / AERIALThe Shade eliminates isolated targets that flee the swarm while the swarm engages the main group.
