What does bait do?

[KnuckleHead]

I mean aside from a few aliens showing up in the next wave? Do they give more xp/money? Do they have a higher chance to drop crates?

It gives you +8% damage and causes a few special enemies to spawn on the next wave.

That's all it does. These special enemies are tougher than normal, and it's really bait for you as it looks like an almost "free" 8% damage up.

Well in most cases if you got a good build it is "free" 8% damage, plus the money/xp you get from the enemies minus the cost of the item.

Only times I dont get it is very early waves, or an early elite wave for some builds. If you cant kill the special aliens quickly youre in some trouble, especially with an elite/bosses there
