Guide for the event Arataki Preparatory Camp for Battle Bugs

The event consists of five stages, each of which is divided into three difficulties: Friendly Match, Focused Battle and Full Commitment. In each stage you need to fight one enemy while controlling your onikabuto beetle.

Press the forward and backward buttons to control the beetle's movements. Onikabuto moves in small jumps and upon with an enemy, deals damage to him. Control the beetle's movements to attack the enemy and dodge his blows. All the beetle's actions cost a certain amount of stamina.

Hold the forward button to charge the onikabuto with energy. Release the button to cause the beetle to expend a large amount of energy and lunge forward. Hitting an enemy will cause damage. The longer the charge, the further the onikabuto will jump. The maximum he can move is two cells.

If the bug reaches an enemy while performing a charged attack, it will deal a piercing blow to them, dealing more damage. This kick can only be triggered by long pressing the forward button. A quick press, as well as an excessively long press, in which the beetle will not hit the enemy, will not cause this attack.

When colliding with an opponent, if the attacks were made simultaneously, the onikabuto may topple over. Pay closer attention to the enemy’s actions in order to think through your moves and complete the charging of the skill in time.

In addition, this event introduced a new onikabuto ability, “defense.” Press a button and spend a certain amount of stamina to create a shield that blocks the beetle from enemy elemental attacks and deflects them in the other direction. Long pressing the skill consumes stamina and maintains the shield for a while. Try to place your shield directly in front of the enemy's elemental attacks to deflect them back at him.

Working on mistakes (day 1)

The first battle will take place with the storyteller from Li Yue, who brought a poster drawn specifically for the competition. The Trick Battle Bug has the following characteristics in each move:

• impressive combat power at close and medium range;
• serial attack;
• average speed.

Invite the man to fight and complete the test, choosing the desired difficulty.

friendly match

Guaranteed for winning a friendly match source stones, and the battle itself takes place on a reduced difficulty. Follow the tips and defeat the Trick in every move to complete the level in the minimum time:

1. Keep an eye on your stamina bar and retreat to the left side of the board in time.
2. Avoid the electric attack by retreating, which costs less stamina and propels the bug further.
3. Wait for the right moment to attack the enemy. Scarlet Warrior Itto charges his attack much faster than his opponent, so you can go through the battle with an aggressive attack. If you don’t have time to charge the blow, leave the red attack zone using the “left” button.
4. Perform attacks with at least half-charged strikes to deal high damage to your opponent, interrupt their combos, and knock them back.

Focused combat and full dedication

In battles of increased difficulty, the enemy charges attacks faster and attacks with high-speed triple combos, which most often have to be dodged. Upon completion of a series of attacks, he uses an electric shock and goes into a short state of inactivity.

1. Be prepared to retreat as soon as the match starts, but don't go too far away so as not to miss a good moment for a counterattack.
2. Retreat as soon as you notice your opponent's electrical attack.
3. Watch your opponent's attacks to find the right moment to charge your attack. Don't forget about your stamina gauge and, if necessary, retreat to a safe distance before going on the active offensive again.

The total reward for winning three levels of Troubleshooting:

• source stones ×80;
• hero experience ×4;
• piece of black siderite ×4;
• magic ore ×4;
• mora ×60.

Buttercup of Terror (Day 2)

The next competition will be with Chang Chang from Li Yue. The baby's father gave her an onikabuto with the following unique set of abilities:

• Impressive long-range power;
• electric bomb attack;
• high speed.

Agree to the girl’s request to fight and proceed to selecting the difficulty.

friendly match

The second day's challenge will feature the first use of a new skill. "defense" — the enemy constantly maintains a safe distance for attacks electric bombs. The tactics for fighting the Kittens and Puppies beetle are as follows:

1. Block the electric bombs with a shield on the button on the left, but watch your stamina bar. On the current difficulty, the attack consists of one ball, so after defense you can start moving towards the opponent.
2. Avoid an area of ​​electrical attack by pressing right twice or using a charged attack. Moving even further away from the beetle is pointless, since the enemy gains an advantage at a distance.
3. Gradually drive your opponent into a corner, alternating between dodging and blocking. Keep an eye on your stamina bar, even when the beetle has nowhere to retreat - the electric balls in the enemy's arsenal work at any distance.

Focused combat and full dedication

On the highest difficulty, Kittens and Puppies will become more difficult to approach due to the high consumption of the stamina bar. The enemy will sequentially release three charges of an electric bomb at once, thereby forcing the Scarlet Warrior to hold the line.

1. For the first part of the fight, focus on defense and try to reduce your stamina consumption. Do not release the ability button until all three balls disappear from the field.
2. Do not use charged strikes to move to the right side, move in short jumps.
3. Start charging strikes when the enemy has nowhere to retreat.

Rewards for all challenges in the Dread Buttercup stage:

• source stones ×80;
• hero experience ×8;
• magic ore ×4;
• mora ×60.

Participant with powerful equipment (day 3)

On the third day of the training camp, Yanfei will come to visit his friends. It turns out that the girl has her own beetle, which she received in gratitude for her legal representation. Onikabuto Total Supremacy is equipped with the following combat characteristics:

• impressive combat power at close range;
• earthquake attack.

Invite the legal consultant to try his hand at bug fighting and start the match on the desired difficulty.

friendly match

It is worth considering that the enemy’s damage and the duration of the combo depend on the severity of the level. On low difficulty, the opponent’s arsenal of attacks is extensive, so you have to carefully dodge and look for good moments to counterattack. Follow these tips to complete the challenge:

1. Be sure to dodge the Earthquake attack. The strike cannot be interrupted, and hitting an enemy will throw the Scarlet Warrior a long distance.
   
2. Don't forget to use a shield against electric bombs.
3. Try to knock down the electric attack in the area, and, if possible, the charged blow.

4. Rely on fully charged strikes. The attacks will throw the enemy far away and inflict high damage, which is enough to win the match in three hits.

Focused combat and full dedication

The third difficulty of the challenge can be difficult due to frequent and strong attacks. Total Supremacy will start using long combos with a slight delay.

1. Be sure to dodge the area attack, which will take a significant amount of health.

2. Wait for a three-hit combo that can be interrupted. Dodge the first attack and start charging the blow - the enemy himself will approach the affected area.

3. Don't let Total Supremacy push your bug into a corner where it's impossible to avoid the earthquake.

Total reward for winning a participant with powerful equipment:

• source stones ×80;
• hero experience ×4;
• brilliant stone Guyun ×4;
• magic ore ×4;
• mora ×60.

Instant kill without any equivocation (day 4)

Coming to the fourth day, the Traveler and Paimon will witness a series of losses by Itto. Miss Doe and Grand Master Hanakado will suggest that the Crimson Oni watch other players' matches in order to learn from others' example. Agree to take part in the battle and enter into battle with the Lord of Strength and Fury:

• significant long-range combat power;
• various Electro attacks;
• very high speed.

friendly match

The easier challenge will mainly prepare you for the more difficult levels of combat, as the enemy bug's damage is significantly reduced. The enemy can carry out all types of attacks and combos, in addition, he constantly maintains a large distance, at which he gains an advantage. When trying to get closer, the Lord of Strength and Fury may even jump back several times. General recommendations for winning a level are as follows:

1. Read your opponent's attacks and get ready to block Electro attacks. Electric bombs knock back the Scarlet Warrior, prolonging the battle, and the electric beam deals constant damage and can have a bad effect on health.

2. After a successful block, pay attention to the stamina reserve and the distance between the beetles. Move in short bursts if the enemy is far away. If possible, use a fully charged strike to instantly close the distance and knock down the bug. A full charge jump is two squares.
3. to dodge other types of attacks: electric area of ​​effect and earthquake, and also interrupt some melee combos.

Focused combat and full dedication

At the final level of the challenge, as in previous stages, long combos appear. However, previously the opponents were reducing the distance, but now the Scarlet Warrior will have to actively attack on his own. The damage of blows has been significantly increased, so at the same time you will have to dodge and look for an opportunity to strike.

1. Avoid the earthquake, which takes a third of your health and throws you far.
2. Constantly monitor your stamina, because you will often use the “defense” ability.
3. Move in short bursts and attack with charged blows.
4. Strive to drive the enemy to the right side of the field, where there will be nowhere to retreat.

Reward for participation in the fourth day match:

• source stones ×80;
• hero experience ×8;
• magic ore ×4;
• mora ×60.

Divine Assistant Cook of the Colossus (Day 5)

The final test is directly related to the final quest of the event. Start the quest "Endless Bug Fight!" to challenge Gobu and his onikabuto - the Gardener, who is equipped with the following impressive set of features:

• the all-powerful mechanical onikabuto;
• incredible combat power at all distances;
• attack by a series of earthquakes;
• various Electro attacks;
• strong interruption resistance;
• average speed.

friendly match

The only innovation in the final series of levels will be teleportation of the opponent over a long distance. The rest of the attacks and combos exactly repeat the attacks of previous opponents, so you still need to play carefully, reading the enemy bug's attacks.

Keep in mind the general tips from past challenges to complete a friendly match and defeat the Gardener:

1. Dodge attacks and combos that cannot be interrupted. At the same time, do not miss the opportunity to strike and interrupt the Gardener's attacks.

2. Follow the tactics of exchanging blows: first block or dodge attacks, then strike back. This procedure will save stamina and prevent the Scarlet Warrior from being driven into a corner.
3. Be prepared that when health decreases to certain values, the enemy beetle will teleport. You will have to gradually move forward in short jumps.

Focused combat and full dedication

The third level of difficulty consists of two parts, where up to half HP the Gardener fights aggressively in close combat, then moves to the right side of the field and hits with frequent attacks from afar. In addition to increasing damage, the enemy beetle in the first part of the battle will often impose a kind of shield on itself, guaranteeing resistance to interrupting attacks.

1. Don't expose yourself to blows or try to interrupt your opponent's combo streak. While the beetle is under the shield, it is invulnerable.
2. Get close to the enemy to force him to retreat 4 cells back.
3. The beginning of the second phase will be indicated by a teleport. Get ready to use defenses to protect yourself from a huge number of electric bombs, and then an electric beam.
4. Get up with short jumps and watch your stamina reserves in order to use the block in time, because the enemy will not allow you to regain your strength.

Even if you lose, don't forget to pick up your rewards from the event menu:

• source stones ×80;
• hero experience ×4;
• Transcendental Sea mercury pill ×4;
• magic ore ×4;
• mora ×60.
