How to beat Bowlbug (Silk)

  • The Silk is a tempo enemy: Spit turns deal no damage, and the Weak it applies is only 1 stack, mostly costing a quarter of your damage on the following turn.
  • Thrash turns deal 8 (10) total in two hits, so per-hit Block and effects that trigger on each hit both work well against it.
  • With 40 to 43 HP it is a mid-priority kill: after the Bowlbug (Nectar) if that one is present, before the Bowlbug (Rock), which you can stun by blocking.
  • Use its Spit turns to attack freely, and save block for the Thrash turns.

Notes

  • 40 to 43 HP (41 to 44 on Ascension 8+), no starting powers.
  • It appears in Hive in the Bowlbug Swarm fight, where two different workers are drawn from Egg, Silk and Nectar, and in Slumber Party, where it fights with a Rock and a Slumbering Beetle.
  • It is not in the weak Bowlbugs fight.
