I did a Dragonheir Scion clear to 20. What I learned you need to do is park yourself next to an enemy army on the crusade map and just go back and forth to get caught. Kill the small group, eat em, repeat. Get your swarm size to around 6 and go from there. It takes a little bit of time but not too bad.

By Iz I had a 52 AC and a cloak that made me invisible every time I killed something. Pretty much waltz through everything from there. Fear is your enemy. If you have no way to combat it you are in trouble. I am a bit annoyed that you only get swarm clones pretty much right before the last fight. I ended the game with a SS of 10, and running around with 4 swarm clones at that level makes the last fight incredibly easy, so that may be why they did it. You would steamroll through everything pretty quickly if you got it earlier.

Swarm infest is your friend. Use it often. Remember to change your XP to only active companions in party right after you turn. It is on the first page of the difficulty screen in the first section. I felt like Swarm was kind of just tacked on. It made me a bit sad, I wish there would have been some swarm specific quests, as you lose pretty much all of the later crusade options. The ending also left a bit to be desired. This is such an outlier class that I hoped they would do more.

Any other questions just post here, and I will try and answer.

Swarm is amazing in DLC3. Its easy to grow your swarm and quick to get to Myth 10 once you get to be a swarm.

But be warned - my run got "bugged" out hard after I made swarm clones and started a new party. I could not select any mythic path at myth 3 on the new run so it forced me to start over.

That bug has been fix apparently. I happened with gold dragon as well. Got the same bug with swarm after starting a new save file. Update to EE fixed it for me so the run was saved.

I know I'm quite late to the party, but this is the build I use. One man army. Truly. Almost the entire campaign (except for the first 5 or so levels) I've been playing solo with no companions. Even before you get access to the swarm, you can steam roll almost everything.

Kineticist is damned gross as a Swarm that Walks

Something like a meelee focused bard/skald or an Inquisitor/warpriest works great because you still want buffs, besides that make sure you've leveled use magic device for scrolls.
Swarm's only weakness is elemental damage pretty much, having resist spells helps a lot.

The only hard bit really is finishing your act 5 mythic quest, after that you're pretty much unbeatable.
