Recommended Skill Sets
Tenacious Devotion Build
Playstyle
Tank support, field attrition, quickly stack Devotion layers for the team
Why this set works
Maximize dual Offering generation from ‘Resilient Armor’ and move ‘Bug Formation’: frequent taking of hits and successful responses rapidly accumulate random Offerings for the team. Bug Swarm serves as main damage dealer, benefiting from Offering bonuses; Fly Cut delivers low-cost cleanup and further Offering stacking; Bug Cocoon supplies sustainability and Offering-based HP recovery. Overall role: high-bulk Offering generator—ideal for endurance battles and team support.
Swarm Passage
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill. Base 2-hit combo that can be increased to 3 hits with Devotion. Low 45 Energy cost. The main source of same-type Physical damage for Bug-types.
Flying Sever
Why pick this skill
Low Energy cost 20, deals damage while stably providing 1 Devotion (Power +20), synergizes with Swarm Passage, supplements damage and accelerates team buffs
Bug Formation
Why pick this skill
Strongest damage reduction response skill, 80% damage reduction + random Devotion on hit, perfectly synergizes with trait "Tough Armor", dual Devotion sources stacking, extremely high team buff efficiency.
Cocoon
Why pick this skill
0 Energy cost sustain skill. Restores 20% HP + provides Life Drain Devotion, enhancing self field presence while continuing to stack Devotion layers for the team.
Mark Targeting Build
Playstyle
Targeted tactics: Mark dispel and sustain cycling, protecting teammate switches
Why this set works
Targeted build around the Mark mechanic. Wing Blade + Scavenging form a dispel/steal → healing core loop, extremely oppressive against Mark-dependent enemies. Cover provides timing protection and team support, Swarm Passing supplements regular damage. Effective against Grass, Phantom, and other types likely to carry Mark skills.
Wing Blade
Why pick this skill
High-power Physical attack, 95 Energy cost. Core function is dispelling enemy marks or stealing marks, holding strategic value against mark-based opponents.
Scavenge
Why pick this skill
0 Energy cost sustain god-tier skill. Restores 10% HP per enemy mark stack. Perfect synergy with Wing Blade's dispel/steal mark, achieving damage + healing cycle.
Cover
Why pick this skill
70% damage reduction + Emergency Retreat + damage reduction for next pet. Serves as safe setup before Wing Blade/Scavenge, or preserves self and assists teammates when HP is critical.
Swarm Passage
Why pick this skill
2-hit Physical damage + Devotion: hit count +1. Moderate Energy cost; serves as supplemental damage during Wing Blade downtime while continuing to provide team Devotion.
Notes
- Little Beetle as a Tier I Bug-type creature, has low ATK 71 but high DEF 97, medium HP 98, and slow SPD 60. Trait "Tough Armor" provides random dedication to the team when hit, paired with its multiple damage-reduction response skills, positioned as tank/support type. Skill pool focuses on physical output, damage reduction responses, and team dedication buffs, lacking means to boost own output, more suitable as team damage-taker and dedication engine
- With low base physical attack and slow speed, pure damage builds have limited returns; optimal role is attrition/support using high physical defense + trait + damage reduction counter skills.
- Swarm Crossing and Flying Cut are the only two skills that can actively provide Devotion to the team, highly valuable; Bug Formation, Cover, and Intimidate form a damage reduction counter system; Scavenge and Wing Blade provide mark-targeting capabilities.
