Tips & Strategy[]

Player Description and Analysis[]

Waterbug is a tough old bug. But don't let his drab, grizzled appearance fool you. His deadly, armor piercing hook may not be effective at first, but after some upgrades, all will fear the might and ruthlessness of Captain Waterbug. Will be finished..... Mr. Aphid (talk) 01:44, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

A grizzled old bug, who decided to snatch a hook and use it as a weapon.

His skills are centered around stunning and moving foes around. His attack isn't all that powerful in the beginning, but his innate armor piercing helps a little. Still he lacks on damage and speed, but his skills make a valiant effort to fill this gap. They kind of succeed, but he's without any reliable escape route (other than switching to a nearby bug).

His passive makes him ideal to pair with heroes who have stuns, like Beetle or Ant (the engineer), or even Bumblebee (with his Breaker Punch), who help boost his damage output a little. Also, his passive seems to work even when enemies are knocked down by his normal attack or his Pirate Ship Salvo, or actually, any ability, turret.

His Hook Throw can be a lifesaver when bugs get too close to your base; this and then followed up with a Plunder Hook. His Plunder Hook is insanely powerful at max level and if he can hit multiple enemies, he can rack up MASSIVE amounts of Food and Spare Parts.His Fish Hook is very useful for dragging single, annoying, enemies in allied fire, which combined with the DPS and increased damage the enemy takes, can help allies bring down even the toughest of enemies, He's able to hook all moving units - although he looks kinda awkward when moving around with a Centipede on his hook.

As for items, his Fishing Line helps a lot, both in giving him a boost in damage, while also slowing down the advance of enemies. Getting that, along with Sharpened Edges will certainly give him an edge against armored mobs. Furthermore, Armor Upgrades! All his skills put him very close to enemies, which in its turn helps allies get kills more easily, but also makes Waterbug more vulnerable.
