At level 5, Gloom Stalkers get the fun spell Rope Trick which can be helpful both in and out of combat, and at level 13, the player receives the spell Greater Unvisibilty which again has many applications. Gloom Stalkers are the highest damage dealers of all the Ranger subclasses due to the number of bonuses they get in darkness and low light. With their abilities linked to stealth and darkness, Gloom Stalkers do excellent damage in low-light areas like caves and dungeons. Found in Xanathar's Guide to Everything, the Gloom Stalker benefits from some Rogue-style abilities without having to multi-class.

Gloom Stalker is considered by many to be the best subclass for Rangers, and it's not hard to see why. A D&D player could use birds or even small critters, which they could then describe allowing them to enhance the character's narrative through this subclass ability. Players choosing this subclass should speak to their Dungeon Master as swarm does not need to mean bugs or pixies, and as the look of the swarm is purely cosmetic, a lot of fun can be had with this. The Swarmkeep is very simple for new players to pick up and is a lot of fun, providing the players with many ways to add flavor to the game.

These spirits assist in battle, and with them in play, combat becomes a little more tactical as players can use the swarm in a few different ways, such as moving the Ranger around the battlefield or even moving enemies against their will. With this subclass, the Ranger forms a deep connection to nature not unlike a Druid and learns to summon nature spirits through it. The first of two new Ranger subclasses offered in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, the Swarmkeeper is an interesting new addition to the class.
