In the desert you usually have to build your high ground, and I can't do it because of their high damage and speed. I only just killed one today because I had gotten a good knockback weapon from the ice biome.Honestly, I don't find the tumblers being an issue. They are quite easy to deal with from high ground.
Also, I found out that you can't climb walls with shoe spikes when the wind blows from in front of you. It's pushing increments keep them from clinging.
