The enemy you hate the most? Spoilers, obviously.
I'm only in the late 50s, but so far my least favorite enemy has to be the gosh darn red ants. I'd rather fight any other enemy in the game than those.

They seem to have just a bit too much armor to deal with in the swarms they always arrive in, whereas I can handle swarms of anything else. Eventually I have gotten through them, but it has taken lots of tries with different weapons until I found the right combo.

I'm sure I have many more terrifying things to look forward to. What was your nemesis up until the late 50s?

Red ants aren't bad if you know how to deal with them, but yes, they can be annoying sometimes, my problem is, I have the flame revolver, with a high start up delay, been trying to get it reduced, but its still stuck at 4 seconds, and (it feels longer) once that gets going, it melts red ants.

I'm not keen on the bees, as their attacks can shred my armour, they are my least favourite enemy so far.

I hate the frogs/aliens just because they're robos from EDF4 sped up, kind of ruins the magic of those old enemies. I just find it annoying how durable they are as well.

Early missions, nothing really special. I suppose Red Ants can be really annoying if they catch you during reload, so you can't do anything for several seconds while they chew through your health bar.

Later on, Imperial Drones. Even on lower difficulties, they can do insane amounts of damage while being able to tank quite a bit. NPCs are completely useless, dead within a single volley and getting caught without buildings for cover is a death sentence.

Also, there's one type of aliens that has some sort of channeled, purple laser gun. It is quite damaging, but the worst part are the graphics - insanely bright and distracting. Can't see anything with them around.

The vehicle controls popup window for Barga. Worst enemy in the game, blocks your sight and impossible to get rid of.

I never liked the deroys or blue flying machines in EDF 4.1 because of their cheap lasers that not only did a lot of damage, but the worst part is they also blind and immobilize you. Now in EDF 5, I'm only at around mission 60~70, and the advanced drones don't seem as bad (so far) but the deroys are still a pain in the bum. Pillbugs are a bit of a problem too if they swarm you and you're not in a vehicle. I don't mind high damage as much as severe crowd control effects that limit your ability to see and/or move.

Imperial Drones for sure. They're not HARD per se, if anything I find them much easier and faster to kill than Deroys and the like, but they OBLITERATE NPC allies in 2 volleys tops and I'm the kind of Ranger that usually brings the healing buff so all my dudes can come home safe.

Most other enemies I can either roflstomp while facetanking for allies, or keep them alive between fights by healing, but if there's a couple Imperial Drones around I just lose my entire squad by the time one of them goes down to a couple clips of sniper ammo.

As a Wing Diver main, I hate in Top 5 order
1 Aliens with Sniper lazer, the more Armored, the worse it is.
2 All other aliens
3 Tadpoles (They are to WD what Dragons were to her in 4.1)
4 Imperial Drones
5 Other drones and flying enemies specially Red ones, glad they arn't as many as the flying vehicles were in EDF 4.1

Artillery Frog soldiers. They spam from across the map, and always know where you are.
