Neutral Creep Camps that reside within a stream are considered Flooded Camps | — | — |
Flooded Camps are populated with new amphibian neutral creeps | — | — |
These camps are: | — | — |
Easy camp on the rim between tier 1 and tier 2 towers | — | — |
Medium camp on the rim near tier 2 tower | — | — |
Medium camp in the main jungle that was on the stream's way and used to be a Hard camp | — | — |
As the tides of the battle rise, creeps in these special camps evolve | — | — |
Every 5 minutes one of the creeps in that camp will be forever upgraded to a next tier | — | — |
Each camp consists of 3 units. As a result, at 15:00 Easy camp completely turns into a Medium camp, and both Medium camps will become Hard ones. At 30:00 Medium camp will become a Hard one, and both Hard camps will evolve to Ancient ones | — | — |
Each creep can only be upgraded twice, meaning an Easy camp will never reach an Ancient status (sorry, Pollywogs) | — | — |
Units are not upgraded if the camp is blocked. Amount of upgraded units can't be increased, so if there is only 1 Ancient creep, attempting to stack that camp will not create another Ancient creep | — | — |
These camps consist of the following creeps: | — | — |
Easy camp is three Pollywogs Average Bounty of 54 gold and 90 XP | — | — |
Medium camp is two Boglets and a Marshmage Apprentice Average Bounty of 81 gold and 126 XP | — | — |
Hard camp is two Croakers and a Marshmage Average Bounty of 117 gold and 165 XP | — | — |
