Ant Engineer:

Stats
Hit Points	Medium
Damage	Low/Mid
Armor Piercing	Low
Armor	Low/Mid
Speed	Medium

Strategy

Although Ant has a cowardly personality, he is not to be underestimated. Ant may not a front line bug but his abilities and range can not be compared. As his title mentions, he is the engineer, focusing on turrets and dealing damage afar while he stays back in the safely of the food stash, or he can be the support that provides shelter and armor. Although he might seem weak at first, but upgrading his weapon first will give you insane firing speed, which can greatly benefit from a stun scroll. The first item i would get for ant is piercing shells.

Skills:

Marker - ant's passive skill is extremely powerful with offensive towers, if you are playing ant as a support make sure to hit as many enemies as you can with your machine gun. Also you can visually see the mark, meaning even invisible units will be marked and allowing you to find them easily.

Shield Generator - An amazing skill that can save your life and the stash. This skill is great for knocking back the little bugs while shielding from even the most devastating ranged bugs such as the war snail and the siege cannon. Shield generator also blocks spider webs and slime goo, better use this ability before you get silenced!

Ant Engineering - Ant's most significant skill, giving him almost unlimited range. There are many ways to use this skill, you can use it with your shoulder turret, allowing you to travel safely from the little bugs or even a strong melee bug. You should consider using flash bulb turrets since this ability gives range by number and not percent, this means a flash bulb turret can hit a super long amount of range, wiping out most if not all the bugs on the map once you let the flash bulbs charge before giving it the range it lacks of. Also this ability can give shield turrets a much longer range, meaning it can absorb a whole lot of damage, plus the turrets get healed whenever you use this. I would definitely recommend upgrading this skill as much as you can first.

Teleport - this skill is great for escaping, collecting resources, and at earlier levels, lowering defence if you haven't gotten any armor penetration yet. It can also be used to stun bugs, giving you the time needed to kill those annoying creatures, especially the invincible hungry bug.

Craftsmen - Although this skill costs precious spare parts, it is well worth it, especially in survival modes when you can't do anything else with the spare parts.

bumblebee brawler

stats Hp:high/med/low

Damage:med/heavy

Light armor:low

Heavy armor:low

Speed:high

Armor piercing:low/med/high

Strategy

The greastest brawler in the bug world-bumblebee. It is kill or get killed, bumblebee must destroy his enemies fast before they can actually harm him. He is my number one bug due to his devastating skills. He has a intimidating look but dont get fooled by those big, innocent eyes because he is capable of wipe out 2 heroes in less than 10 s. Bethazor(his real name) has the highest health among the normal heroes(275) and that is mainly for his skills. I have always loved heroes that have toggle abilities and this bug has 2(awesome) which i am going to talk more in the section below. He is one the best melee fighters in the game, great damage, great armor piercing, super high speed. But bumblebee doesnt have any armor and take more damage when going berzerk or brawler so all this guy need is a boxer boots. Bethazor has already fast so this equipment makes he the fastest heroes in the game along with black widow and her spider boots. The best defence is not to be there so DODGE, since bumblebee cannot take much damage he must avoid them at all cost. He can kill a giant war slug in 5 s but remember to dodge and going around your opponents to avoid their attacks, go around and hit to the side of a war snail is much better to confront it. Overall, bumblebee is a must buy bug.

Abilities

Passive:charge attack makes a huge advantage at the early of a game and also very useful again tier 5 bugs. This is the reason that makes bumblebee so powerful, he can one hit most of orther normal heroes when charge attack is level 5 and maxed 5 sconds to fight toe to toe with a legendary.Inmagine one single punch deal up to 200 damage at the start of a game. Additional, this abillty is great for skirmish(hard or pvp) because it can destroy other bug heroes to lower the food in their food stash for respawning.

Berzerk: another destructive skill for the champ, it increases his damage, armor piercing but take more 50% damage so remember to toggle this skill in an effective way or it is going to kill you faster than your enemies.I personally recommend to max this skill first to handle with stronger bugs(maxed+50 damage and+80 ap).

Brawler:each hit will blast multiple enemies but also take more 50% damage so just keep in mind that this skill is just for horde of smaller bugs or siege bugs.Put only 2 or 3 skill points to this skill because the higher level the less damage taking and you dont really need to turn this power on very offen.

Survival instinct:in an ermergency situation like being overwhelmed by endless horde of fungus zombie, that is when this power saves the day. active this skill to deal even more damage for an escape, a rush into your opponent food stash, the less health you have the more damage you will deal. Just remember to use it in the right way and the right time.

Breaker punch: one of the best ability out there, using this skill right will 100% kill 2 normal heroes or a legendary because it stun, deal a huge amount of damage and MAKE YOUR OPPONENT CANNOT ATTACK FOR 10 S and with that priceless 10 s you can beat the hell out of a legendary(hunt them down slay them).Overall, it is just what it takes to dominate a skirmish match or just to kill a war snail. 

Hero pairing:

Moth:can heal bethazor after a heated battle.

Pillbug:provide great heavy covering fire and a good defence while bumblebee play the offensive part and roaming  around the map

Beetle:a great tank and crowd control for bumblebee to hit enemies while they are being stunned

Army ant: he can heal and take bumblebee damage to a whole new level with inspiring banner

Fly Gunslinger:

Stats

Hit Points Low Damage Heavy Armor Piercing Mid/Low Armor Low Speed High

Strategy Fly is an...interesting bug to use. He's fast and damaging, but has probably one of the worst defenses out of all the bugs. Being called the "gunslinger", he naturally has some unpredictable and random abilities that don't really synergize and aren't really reliable but if used right can become one of the deadliest offensive powerhouses in the game. His passive ability, Steal, allows you a chance to steal 25 gold after a killed enemy, which is pretty useful early game but after you've bought all the equipment you need it's useless. Now, let's go on and talk about the other four abilities. First is Quickdraw, which is arguably Fly's most powerful ability and is easily his most reliable way of dealing damage. It shoots a volley of four bullets that deal armor piercing damage, and at level five with weapons upgraded it can deal almost 1000 damage to a single enemy. Probably the best pure-damage ability in the game. Also, I'm pretty sure this ability doesn't miss. Next up is what Fly's most known for, the Gnat Banditoes. It allows you to summon a certain amount of ranged gnat fighters (for gold, of course) depending on the upgraded level, however, after the update Fly can only summon eight bandits at once, which is pretty underwhelming compared to other armies. Use this ability against siege waves, otherwise the gnats die too quickly. Third, we have the Gunfighter Tonic, which allows you to spend $50 to drink a tonic that buffs Fly's speed and damage by a certain amount for a certain amount of time. It's definitely useful for getting Fly out of tough situations, so do upgrade this ability. Lastly, we have Sky Salvo, which is an unreliable way of dishing out damage, however with luck it will do an ENORMOUS amount (over 800 I think at lv 5). Still, don't use this. It's not worth the risk. Fly also comes with a myriad of weapons and armor not seen on any other bug. His weapons come with a chance of auto-reloading, and his armor gives him a chance to dodge attacks. Pretty neat, huh? Anyway, Fly is a powerful offensive weapon, known for his damage dealing abilities. He can crowd control with his gnat bandits, and if you buy him the Needle Rounds equipment ad equip a piercing scroll, he can pierce a decent amount of armor as well. Overall, definitely worth buying if you're feeling ambitious and want to take missions to the next level with style. However, keep in mind his bad defensive stats. Good hero pairings: Beetle, Ladybug, Roach, Waterbug Bad hero pairings: Stinkbug, Slug, Worm

Honey Bee General:

Strategy

Attenshun! Alright maggots, listen to me and listen up good.. I'm General HB and I'm gonna teach you how to win war!

Passive:Leadership See this hat!? This hat has a star! And a star means I'm the leader! And when I'm around you maggots hit harder and die harder. It's good to flood the field with as many allied bugs as possible to build a real mean platoon. Combine ant hole and comrades to create a quick mass of bugs to seek out enemies to kill. Glory to the first bug to die!

Comrades: When I give the signal I want a squad of bugs front and centre! Summons some bugs to fight for you. The General's signature move that synergies perfectly with lesdership. Higher level spawns more bugs.

Ant Hole: Surprise! The ability to create an ant hole enables army ants to spawn behind enemy lines to take out bases or to serve as an extra defence for your base or a certain position. I recommend taking this skill as you first level up compared to comrades as ant hole has a chance to spawn a strong armored ant to give your initially small army some muscle.

Reckless Abandon: I said charge you cowards! Or I'll shoot you myself! This skill is a death charge to face elite bugs or a weakened base as it makes your army do alot of damage at the cost of their lives after the skill wears off.

No Retreat: If you shall not serve in combat, you shall serve on the firing line! Sometimes when you have a few fleas and ants to spare, you could pop this skill for an extra damage and speed boost for a short while. Useful but make sure you have many fleas as I feel sacrificing ants isn't worth the buff.

Combat: Out of almost all heroes, the general is one of my favourites to play. Armed with a sword and short-ranged medium-power single-shot pistol, HB is very versatile and works well either as a support or leading the charge with another ranged hero providing cover fire. With rather good speed, HB can strike few times quickly then dodging or run and gun around enemies with some fancy footwork and aim. HB's survival rating greatly increases with the number of allies you spawn. Giving you many opportunities to deal damage without being harmed. A stun or piercing scroll would further improve his combat prowess. I believe his combat style is truly boss and his skills make HB so deserving of his title.

Ladybug Fencer:

Stats
Hit Points	Mid/Low - Medium
Damage	Mid/Low - Heavy
Armor Piercing	Mid/Heavy
Armor	Mid/Heavy - Heavy
Speed	Mid/Low - High

Strategy

Ladybug is a character that you will likely be using more of out of your 2 characters. Her abilities are what really what makes up for her low damage.  She is excellent in 1 to 1 combat. She can use Riposte to counter for heavy damage, as well as gain a speed and damage boost. Pinpoint is one of the best damage based abilities in the game, doing lots of damage as well as making the target take extra damage. Lunge can either focus on taking down an armored enemy or quickly dispatch of a group of smaller enemies. Engarde is focused on getting you close to an enemy that fires back at you. Her passive ability, Debilitate, be used for a great number of things. It is mainly used for taking down heavily armored units, but it can also slow the enemy down tremendously. She starts off slow, but you can upgrade her armor to increase her speed. This is very effective in keeping up with faster ally heroes. Her riposte ability further increases her speed. If your ally hero is slower, you can upgrade her equipment to include more damage or more damage resistance. It comes at the cost of lower speed, however. When combined with upgraded armor, she become a average speed-killing machine. Ladybug even has an AoE attack. She is a well-rounded hero.

'===Pillbug Gunner:===

Hit Points| Medium-Low|

Damage| Heavy|

Armor Piercing| Medium|

Armor| Medium|

Speed| 'Medium/Low|'

Strategy Contrary to the relatively poor stats given to Pillbug above, he is, in many eyes, the best ranged fighter out there. He has mediocre speed, armor, has an annoying spread when he fires, not the world's greatest armor piercing without the proper equipment...so what gives? The thing is, Pillbug has amazing abilities and equipment that make him just the right ranged fighter for a lot of people. He has two abilities that allow him to fire armor piercing bullets and explosive rounds, which all do massive damage to even the thickest of enemies. And that's not where it ends. He has a piece of equipment called the shoulder cannon you can purchase for $2000, and one bullet on that does 50 armor piercing damage. Yes. 50. You read this right. That means you'll be killing a centipede in less than 20 seconds. It is absurdly powerful, especially when Pillbug is paired with heroes like Roach and Waterbug, who get rid of the fleas and gnats clinging on to him wearing away his health. He acts primarily as a base defender, but can eventually with enough love tank a few hits as well, as long as they're not overwhelmingly powerful. All in all, a deadly hero when used right. Despite all that, Pillbug does have his downsides. His speed and armor, like mentioned before, are at best mediocre, and that makes him an absolutely TERRIBLE roamer and explorer, especially since he can't attack while moving. This fact alone balances out his power by a lot, however, not many people will be using this guy for offense anyway. He is also vulnerable to all sorts of damage that a quicker ranged hero can dodge, like Fly Gunslinger or Cicada Commado, due to their higher speed and their ability to shoot on the run. Pillbug is outclassed offensively, but on defense he is an impregnable wall. His abilities mostly involve damage and tanking. The two types of bullets he shoots are extremely useful and should be upgraded to deal with tough situations, but Hardened Shell and Hunker Down are good for situations you know Pillbug won't handle well. The abilities have decent synergy, unlike Roach's (XD), but can be improved on. This gives Pillbug some strangely overwhelming power in certain situations , especially against armored bugs. Pillbug really does shine in fights with armored enemies due to his armor piercing ability and his shoulder cannon equipment.

Termite Builder:

Stats
Hit Points	Medium
Damage	Low-Medium
Armor Piercing	Low
Armor	Low-Medium
Speed	Average

Strategy

Despite his seemingly underwhelming stats shown above, Termite is a force to be reckoned with. His turrets are mediocre at first, but as you upgrade them, you will realize their usefulness. Gunner Turret and easily sweep crowds, because unlike the one at the food stash, they deal huge damage, fully upgraded they deal 20+ damage per shot and fire 4-5 time a second. For heavily armored enemies, Heavy Turret is your best friend. At 40+ damage per hit and really high AP, any fearsome Slug or Snail is already taken care of. And the best is that all turrets are portable, allowing you to create defensive position to hold your own near, or away, or anything in between from home. Workmanship raises their might to amazing levels, and Junk Smash is very effective in gathering extra SP for resources. Overall, a very powerful defender. Downsides? low damage, little to no AP and slow movement with little HP.

(Tinker has an annoying screen shake. The screen keeps shaking with every hit, bad for those with blurred eye-sight and may cause headaches.)

Legends

Field Mouse Legendary Ranger:

-------- Stats -------

Damage - Decent ( Spread ) ( Rapid Fire )

Speed - Fast

Armor - Low

Hit Points - High

Armor Piercing - Low ( Rapid Fire makes up for it )

Support - Decent

---- About it ----

Seriously , just because he gets stuck in mouse traps everytime , doesn't mean that he's not worth the buy . Holding a rapid fire MLG , mouse is the fastest shooter in BH2 . He is famous for his soldier abilities , such as calling in an Air Strike , which holds the power to destroy anything , depending on how well - trained the pilot is . He is also able to secure positions , which can either buff up his already so awesome ranged attack or give out sweet smelling bug perfume that any enemy inside the positions will nott attack at all , which is useful for those slugs , as those cause a lot of trouble , and they smell , like a LOT . Just like soldiers , mouse can call in backup at times when he needs them , summoning flea commandos , those fleas have powerful ranged capabilities . But they take a really long time at the sick bay , which makes the cooldown so slow . Really though , once you see him coming , just run .

Goliath Stickbug Legendary Shaman:

-------- Stats --------

Damage - Decent ( AOE )

Speed - Low

Armor - Almost None

Hit Points - Decent

Armor Piercing - Low

Support - Extremely High

---- About it ----

Having dwelled in Fungus Magic , the Goliath Stickbug is a force to be reckoned with . Not to be understimated by his thinness , Goliath Stickbug is your personal Fungal Druid , well of course not being too overpowered , it definitely won't raise Fungus Zombies all the time a unit dies , it has a CHANCE for the unit to become Fungus Zombies . But that's not it , along with AOE Damage , it can summon the power of two elements , Ice and Lightning , both with a highly supportive use , as the ice can give temporary armor to your units . It also has the ability to grow mushrooms like any Fungal Druid does . But instead of damaging , it heals , strengthens and makes you run real fast . Which , if you eat a lot at once , will make you one shot almost anything . The last skill ( Although first in the game ) is the totem , possibly one of the most important ability as it will summon Fungus Zombies time by time , even if no units died , it also buffs up nearby allies . So if you want to be a Fungus Druid , and you want to flood the entire screen ( They have bug caps now , ok ? ) with Fungus Zombies , the Goliath Stickbug is your choice ( and possibly the only ) .

Hamster Legendary Bruiser:

-------- Stats --------

Damage - Extremely High

Speed - Low

Armor - Low

Hit Point - High

Armor Piercing - Decent

---- About it ----

First of all , before I begin his strategy , don't blame the fact that Hamster just crushes every bug in his way . Blame the Man Gods for having brought the wrong hamster to their house ! Anyway , Hamster is just like Mantis , able to dish out high damage , but not as sneaky . He can deal a lot of damage to a group of enemies , with a skill version of it , he is also able to throw a bug ( Small ones ) into a certain direction , any other bugs hit by that bug is also hit , with the cooldown depending on the health of the bug ( Imagine if you threw a giant centipede ( Which you can't ) and the cooldown is like 6 minutes ? ) , he is also able to freeze enemies in place with F.E.A.R and they will also take more damage . And for the last skill .... have you ever seen a Miley Cyrus Hamster ? No ? Well there ya go , Hamster can ( Possibly ) become invincible , gain extra speed , and damage anyone that touches him which makes its kinda overpowered , cuz you can just push someone to the edge of the map and deal a lot of damage to it . Just saying ... he looks kinda cute .

Praying Mantis Legendary Hunter:

-------- Stats --------

Damage - Extremely High

Speed - Decent

Armor - Low

Hit Point - Decent

Armor - Low

Armor Piercing - High

---- About it ----

If you see him coming , its too late . One of the best assassin in the game , Mantis is meant to be used for extremely high damage and stealth . It is the final bug in every mode except for TD . Able to stealth himself and dishing out high damage , it will make your enemies cower in fear , of course , the downside is that it is extremely hard to get and its attack are MOSTLY made for single assassination . Nevertheless , a great bug .

Toy Robot Legendary Gunner:

-------- Stats --------

Damage - Decent

Speed - Slow

Armor - High

Hit Point - High

Armor Piercing - Decent

---- About it ----

Having put back the batteries inside Toy Robot , the creation of the Man God themselves shall now be feared again ! To show you his gratitude for the batteries , the Toy Robot is here to help you against the fight , with High - Tech powers , he can shoot out a widespread of plasma blasts , dealing high damage . It can also convert food to spare parts , cuz , you know , he is a robot , he can also start bursting out electrical currents which will deal like tons of damage . And finally , the last skill , but first , lemme ask ya a question , what happens if Plasma + Plasma ? Explosive Plasma ( and exploded brain ) ! At the risk of health , Toy Robot's shots become explosive , dealing a lot of damage . So .... , anyone wanna face this terror ?

Strategies & Tactics: Bug Heroes Tag Team

With Bug Heroes 2 Tag Team System, there are countless combinations possible; each pairing like no other.

On its own, each Bug Hero has its own unique focused playstyle; looking at the base of 19 non-Legendary Bug Heroes, below are Duos with an uniquely higher synergy, complimenting both strengths and weakness, and are paired with a focus on a specific expertise, offering an exquisite experience.

A fore warning, the Pairs below are by far for advanced play; and there are considerations to fully realize the latent synergy...

Ant Engineer & Termite Builder

Specialty:	Turret
Considerations:	Ant Engineer: Speed Scroll of the Broken Sword, Stun Scroll of the Broken Sword, Poison Scroll of the Broken Sword, Piercing Scroll of the Broken Foot. Termite Builder: Turret Ammo, Speed Scroll, Ally Scroll of the Broken Foot, Ally Scroll of the Broken Sword. Upgrades: Turrets: Self Repair Lv1, Defense: Regeneration Lv2, Utility: Adept Lv3 Turret: Flash Bulb

Tactics

Ant Engineer is an capable explorer with its Static Armor, Shield Generator and Teleport. Ant Engineer can move in with Shield Generator activated, escorting Termite Builder for a quick and dirty demolition task with Termite Builder Junk Smash that hits hard at enemy Objective Point or Food Stack, or to setup a forward outpost with relative safety; and its Passive Marker increases Termite Builder custom Turrets effectiveness. With Teleport, Ant Engineer easily gets out of harms way, or intercepts attacks on a besieged ally in a flash and bestows armor with Craftsman for a hasty retreat.

Spare Parts for Termite Builder is to build fast turning rapid firing Gunner Turret and slow turning armor piercing Heavy Turret; or to advance Food Stack Tier quickly to access higher tier creeps earlier than the Enemy. Offensively, constructing custom Turret on enemy parameter to cover ground before moving in to capture and hold more ground with custom Turrets crossfire; what seems to be harmless out-of-range custom Turrets can quickly transformed into formidable gun batteries with the Duo's repertoire of turret enhancements, flooding the battlefield in a sea of projectiles. Do note Termite Builder custom Turrets do not auto-target structures. Workmanship improves the protective radius of Turret: Shielder.

Strategy

Base Supremacy. Termite Builder cheap custom turrets complement the limited range of Turret: Light Bulb, meanwhile preparing a battery of fully charged Turret: Light Bulb for Ant Engineer's Ant Engineering, further amplified with Termite Builder's Workmanship to easily devastate the entire map... essentially an 'Nuke'... this seemingly feeble pair is capable of bringing forth augmented firepower of the Base Turrets to the face of any unfortunate foe. "Safe Ground" is only an illusion for whatever stands against this humble Duo.

Army Ant Captain & Honey Bee General

Specialty:

Creep

Considerations:

Army Ant Captain: Armor Scroll of the Broken Foot, Shield Scroll of the Broken Foot, Magic Scroll of the Broken Foot, Cleric Scroll of the Broken Foot. Honey Bee General: Magic Scroll of the Broken Sword, Magic Scroll of the Broken Foot, Cleric Scroll of the Broken Sword, Cleric Scroll of the Broken Foot. Upgrades: Utility: Barter Lv3, Utility: Adept Lv3, Defense: Plated Armor Lv3, Defense: Melee Warrior Defense Lv3 Turret: Bug Banner Mercenary Camp: Packer Ant, Firepower, War Snail

Tactics
Army Ant Captain Cavalry is powerful in the early game; has a cap of 5. Army Ant Captain is an capable tank with Lead the Charge active; Honor Smash benefits from it. Army Ant Captain Inspiring Banner buffs every allied bugs; has a cap of 2.	Honey Bee General Ant Hole is good in the early game and for map control; Comrades creep Tier scales when Comrades skill level matches Food Stack level. Honey Bee General Reckless Abandon works well against higher tier enemy creeps; when damage goes beyond 125 damage. Honey Bee General No Retreat provides a powerful buff and makes rooms for higher level Comrades.

Strategy
Creep Commanders. Leading an army of bugs, Army Ant Captain fronts the creep army with Lead the Charge, laying down Inspiring Banner to ensure all are in healthy fighting status while Honey Bee General at the back is ready to execute Reckless Abandon and ordering No Retreat when things go awry. This Pair has no time to sit easy at the back of their base playing chess...

Worm Grenadier & Pillbug Gunner

Specialty:	Firepower
Considerations:	Worm Grenadier: Auto Loader, Piercing Scroll of the Broken Foot, Stun Scroll of the Broken Foot, Stun Scroll. Pillbug Gunner: Shoulder Cannon, Poison Scroll of the Broken Foot, Vampiric Scroll of the Broken Foot, Vampiric Scroll. Upgrades: Turrent: Barrage Lv3, Defense: Ranged Warrior Defense Lv3, Offense: Iron Sights Lv3 Turret: Firecracker

Tactics
Worm Grenadier Auto Loader works with Sticky Bombs. Worm Grenadier Burrow Bomb has a short cooldown, good for movement; the recommended way to Kamikaze... Worm Grenadier Claymores and Mini Mines makes great parameter defence or holding enemies back in a retreat maneuver.	Pillbug Gunner with both Explosive Shells and Piercing Rounds activated sets up chained explosive reactions. Pillbug Gunner with Hardened Shell activated is a good bait for Worm Grenadier arsenal of explosive attacks. Pillbug Gunner call for Hunker Down mode comes when additional Armor Piercing and Damage is necessary.

Strategy

Cover Fire. Worm covering fire for Pillbug to set up its guns, Pillbug then covers up for Worm as it advances to new ground; this explosive Duo defines "Hold Ground" to its truest intent. Pillbug Gunner on maximum Take Aim buff provides all the coverage Worm Grenadier needs to position itself to launch salvos of Sticky Bombs from afar to Objective Point, Turret or Food Stack alike. All the while Firecrackers rain from the sky...

Ladybug Fencer & Roach Knight

Specialty:	Versatility
Considerations:	Ladybug Fencer: Amulet of Razor, Serrated Edges, Speed Scroll, Vampiric Scroll Roach Knight: Knight's Sigil, Honor Badge, Speed Scroll, Vampiric Scroll Upgrades: Defense: Plated Armor Lv3, Defense: Melee Warrior Defense Lv3, Utility: Adept Lv3

Tactics
Ladybug Fencer Engarde allows closing the distance with ranged foes safely. Ladybug Fencer Lunge is a powerful move that can take out retreating foe(s) or to break out of any dire situations. Ladybug Fencer Pinpoint initiates focused effort to take out a single key target. Ladybug Fencer ingame Armor Purchase increases Speed.	Roach Knight Hungry Strike is an extremely potent skill that can end all threats swiftly. Roach Knight Scurry is an excellent exploring skill or for that "Last Hit" on an escaping target. Roach Knight high Speed is great for chasing down key targets that are retreating from a fight. Roach Knight ingame Weapon Purchase increases Armor Piercing.

Strategy

This Duo has the Speed, Armor, Armor Piercing and Damage from skills for an interesting orchestrated score. Ladybug Fencer moving in with Engarde and Lunge opens up for Pinpoint and Passive Debilitate to further stacks Armor Piercing defuff, then up comes Roach Knight on Scurry following up with Hungry Strike for the finale, hoping to bet on Passive Scavenger for food to Feast on. On retreat, Ladybug Fencer Riposte and Roach Knight Counter Strike will punish any pursuers. This Pair has the pack of tricks to tackle almost any situation with the proper play; they have the answer to almost any problem... at least until the next cooldown cycle...

Bumblebee Brawler & Crab Spider Shield Bearer

Specialty:	Melee
Considerations:	Bumblebee Brawler: Victory Medal, Vampiric Scroll of the Broken Foot, Critical Scroll of the Broken Foot, Stun Scroll of the Broken Foot. Crab Spider Shield Bearer: Covering Shield, Repel Scroll of the Broken Foot, Magic Scroll of the Broken Foot, Magic Scroll of the Broken Sword. Upgrades: Defense: Regeneration Lv2, Defense: Melee Warrior Defense Lv3

Tactics
Bumblebee Brawler Survival Instincts can turn tables or provides resilient for Bumblebee Brawler to retreat behind Crab Spider Shield Bearer. Bumblebee Brawler Breaker Punch buys time for Crab Spider Shield Bearer to move to a more favorable position. Bumblebee Brawler high damage compounds nicely with Critical.	Crab Spider Shield Bearer Line Breaker gives Bumblebee Brawler breathing room to realize the full potential of its Passive Charge Attack. Crab Spider Shield Bearer Shield Swipe disarmed the foe(s), making them perfect sitting ducks for Bumblebee Brawler to clean up. Crab Spider Shield Bearer Shield Charge is an effective re-positioning move.

Strategy

When Crab Spider Shield Bearer on Taunt is drawing all the heat with a well-positioned Line Breaker, a Berzerk Bumblebee Brawler is given free reign to buzz around to "Bump" any unfortunate foes in its destructive wake with Brawler activated, taking the heat away from Crab Spider Shield Bearer before it gets too hot to handle. Together, using swift positioning tag exchange, this Duo can take on almost anything Champion Style with their Anvil & Hammer maneuver.

Waterbug Pirate & Beetle Warrior

Specialty:	Stun
Considerations:	Waterbug Pirate: Fishing Line, Barnacle Mines, Stun Scroll, Damage Scroll Beetle Warrior: Stun Scroll, Health Scroll Upgrades: Defense: Melee Warrior Defense Lv3

Tactics
Waterbug Pirate Plunder Hook and Hook Throw are good at dis-positioning target. Waterbug Pirate Fish Hook target with Pirate Ship Salvo raining from the sky.	Beetle Warrior throws a Shockwave to close up for Earthquake Smash and Warrior Charge. Beetle Warrior No Pain is highly situation base; eases with Warrior Guantlet

Strategy
Nightmarish to all bug heroes within this duo effective assault distance, few has the chance to walk out unscathed. Effectively disabling multiple targets for extensive periods, it takes as much guts as luck to go up toe to toe with this pair of tough old bugs. Most will suffer a 'stunningly' death with no chance for retaliation...

Black Widow Assassin & Cicada Commando

Specialty:	Stealth
Considerations:	Black Widow Assassin: Assassin Hood, Vampiric Scroll of the Weakened Soul, Repel Scroll of the Weakened Soul, Stun Scroll of the Weakened Soul. Cicada Commando: Striker Rounds, Piercing Scroll of the Broken Foot. Upgrades: Offense & Defense

Tactics

Black Widow Assassin on Shadow becomes an extremely efficient hunter with its ingame Weapon Purchases scaling its damage potential exponentially in Critical chance and damage. Black Widow Assassin Ninja Smoke is both an powerful escaping tool and intercepting move to save an ally. Black Widow Assassin Passive Assassinate and Assassin Cut is effective for cutting down retreating target(s). Black Widow Assassin Spider Web Speed and Armor debuff allows Cicada Commando Grenades to work extremely well on armored target(s).

Cicada Commando initiating with high Damage first strike and Commando Strike away for Black Widow Assassin to take on the damaged target; meanwhile looking for another opportunity to get another attack in. Traps are immediately active and make excellent parameter defense or cutting off retreat route. C4 Explosive takes a while to stealth (to begin countdown) and can be targetted. Cicada Commando Passive Stealth next attack can be controlled with Grenades throwing view.

Strategy

Stealth Operatives. This pair dishes out "Sudden Death" before the target can lift a finger; otherwise Black Widow Assassin is capable of performing harressing distractions and quickly remove key threats when allowed to; and Cicada Commando is formidable against Objective Points and Food Stack Turrets; rolling out nerve-wacking hard-hitting gurellia hit-and-runs; rendering the enemy Food Stack defenseless... and leaving enemy Bug Heroes at base vulnerable to Black Widow Assassin assassination...

Slug Electrican & Stinkbug Chemical Expert

Specialty:	Armor Piercing
Requisite:	Upgrades: Offense: Bigger Clips Lv3, Defense: Ranged Warrior Defense Lv3
Considerations:	Slug Electrican: Speed Scroll, Stun Scroll Stinkbug Chemical Expert: Speed Scroll, Health Scroll

Tactics
Slug Electrican Electro Fence denies territory, or against foes making a bee dive advance. Slug Electrican Black Hole is a good way to deliver Stinkbug Chemical Expert's Poison Bomb. Slug Electrican Conductor can be discharged when Battery Discharge is activated.	Stinkbug Chemical Toxic Ooze denies area, or for covering a retreat. Stinkbug Chemical Expert Poison Shells is extremely effective against creeps. Stinkbug Chemical Expert Cyanide Blast is extremely effective against bug heroes and tough creeps.

Strategy
These 2 high-tech Bug Heroes got the thrills; Stinkbug Chemical Expert filled the area with toxic waste while Slug Electrican melts everything away with electricity. With properly placed skills, this Duo has the chemistry to vaporize or liquefies anything that comes their way.

Aphid Sensei & Moth Enchantress

Tactics

Aphid Sensei lost HP can be consistently healed with Moth Enchantress Passive Heal and by Greater Heal. Aphid Sensei with Martyrdom activated, can engage in combat in relative safety within Moth Enchantress Aura of Light. Aphid Sensei attacks damage can be further amplified with Moth Enchantress equipping Magic Power and Spellbook.

Moth Enchantress upkeeps Aphid Sensei Martyrdom indefinitely so long in combat. Moth Enchantress Aura of Light further complements Aphid Sensei Martyrdom damage reduction; Moth Enchantress Aura of Light damage reduction for ALL sources of damage, including Aphid Sensei self-damage skills, while Aphid Sensei Martyrdom damage reduction from enemy bugs only. Moth Enchantress disruptive attacks ease Aphid Sensei during Combat Medication.

Strategy

This is a graceful pair that spells Zen. Moth Enchantress Aura of Light platformed Aphid Sensei to frequently, and later constantly, executes its Self Sacrifice buffed Chi Slash wave upon waves from afar; Moth Enchantress Mana Shield protects Aphid Sensei after a Chi Slash move. Should the foe reacts, Moth Enchantress Silence promises a safe retreat, or allows Aphid Sensei to grant a graceful silence demise with ease.
