1 Although hypothetically speaking, I might need, say, a minimum of only 171 Fleas ( which is a mere 3420 metal) to bring down a lone Detriment, from experience, I'd say at least 600 Fleas ( which is a 1200 metal investment) are sufficient to bring down a lone Detriment, and that's because I didn't take into account various factors, such as that the Detriment's gauss guns penetrate through multiple targets, or that, when Fleas die, they explode, harming other Fleas nearby, or that not all of the Fleas are able to get close enough to the Detriment to be able to do damage to it, to name a few. 1 Although hypothetically speaking, I might need, say, a minimum of only 171 Fleas ( which is a mere 3420 metal) to bring down a lone Detriment, from experience, I'd say at least 600 Fleas ( which is a 12000 metal investment) are sufficient to bring down a lone Detriment, and that's because I didn't take into account various factors, such as that the Detriment's gauss guns penetrate through multiple targets, or that, when Fleas die, they explode, harming other Fleas nearby, or that not all of the Fleas are able to get close enough to the Detriment to be able to do damage to it, to name a few.

3 Still, that was an interesting exercise in comparing unit values between masses of tiny units compared to individual units that are much bigger, and could easily overkill the smaller units, so here are a few more questions to ask yourselves: 3 Still, that was an interesting exercise in comparing unit values between masses of tiny units compared to individual units that are much bigger, and could easily overkill the smaller units, so here are a few more questions to ask yourselves:
