How to beat Bowlbug Swarm

The line-up

Three bugs: Rock in front, plus two different workers.

  • Bowlbug (Rock): 45 to 48 HP. Only Headbutts, for 15, but starts Imbalanced: fully block a Headbutt and it stuns itself for its next turn.
  • Bowlbug (Egg): 21 to 22 HP. Bites for 7 and gains 7 Block.
  • Bowlbug (Silk): 40 to 43 HP. Alternates Toxic Spit, 1 Weak, with Thrash, two hits of 4.
  • Bowlbug (Nectar): 35 to 38 HP. Thrashes for 3, gains 15 Strength on its second turn, then hits for 18 a turn.

Kill order

  • Nectar first: it must die before turn 3.
  • Silk second: Weak every other turn taxes your damage.
  • Rock last: full-blocking 15 costs it a turn each time.
  • Egg: the least dangerous.

At higher Ascension

  • Ascension 8+: HP is 46 to 49, 23 to 24, 41 to 44 and 36 to 39.
  • Ascension 9+: Headbutt deals 16, Bite 8 with 8 Block, Thrash 5 per hit, and Nectar gains 16 Strength.

Where it appears
