Getting constantly smashed by mosquitoes

[GoldenOuroboros]

Every raid that's happening at the moment are by mosquitos, I'm not actively hunting them, only retaliate when they attack me, problem is the resources I'm trying to grab seem to be in heavily populated mosquito areas. Base is situated on the fungus at the oak tree. If was actively hunting them I would completely understand, just getting frustrated with it as they can easily pick apart a weedstem base, thinking of upgrading it now =\

Mosquitoes dislike groundy rounds from the acorn turret- and regular rock rounds do massive damage. The turret does huge damage to all flying enemies- so I have 3 on my roof

(Since you have mosquito base waves, I am assuming you have access to this- my sincerest apologies if this is a spoiler)

A Sour Battle Axe ruins a swarm of mosquitoes and Tiger Mosquitoes in record time.
So does a Sour Staff, if you're good at aiming those congressionally-slow moving sour balls.

Both of them are very late game items, though.

honestly you should either find the needed items elsewhere or just don't aggro them - run away. from their pov you keep invading their area and pestering them. retaliation is reasonable

You say that, but they don't HAVE to be. In my current game, I have yet to open the Oak Lab, have a Mosquito Needle, and will complete the Hedge Lab by simply walking into it. Actually trying to do as much as I possibly can BEFORE I open the Oak Lab, just to see exactly how much that is. Collecting the password pieces for the Hedge Lab without being able to use the Biometric scanner is tough, but doable.

But for very early on Mosquito encounters, a simple pebble axe and pretty much anything solid to stand under - a Hardy Weed, a rock overhang - anything you can stand under, will change the tide of battle really fast. The axe is nice for the quick stun it builds, and is much easier to hit a skeeter with than a spiky sprig or red ant club, as it is a faster weapon.

Other than that, it's really all about nailing those blocks. Most of the time, a perfect block will knock them right out of the air. Follow that up with a quick stun and the fight is over - they're stay down in 1-2 hits after that.
