How to beat Bowlbugs
The line-up
Two bugs: Rock plus a random partner.
Bowlbug (Rock): 45 to 48 HP. Headbutts for 15 every turn and starts Imbalanced: block a Headbutt completely and it loses its next turn.
Bowlbug (Egg): 21 to 22 HP. Bites for 7 and gains 7 Block with the same move.
Bowlbug (Nectar): 35 to 38 HP. Thrashes for 3 on turn 1, gains 15 Strength on turn 2, then Thrashes for 18 every turn.
Kill order
If Nectar shows up it is the whole fight: kill it on turns 1 and 2, before the Strength lands, and Rock alone is a formality.
Against Egg: ignore it while you take Rock down. 7 a turn is cheap to block.
Full-block Headbutt whenever 15 Block is available, since each one costs Rock a turn.
At higher Ascension
- Ascension 8+: Rock has 46 to 49 HP, Egg 23 to 24 and Nectar 36 to 39.
- Ascension 9+: Headbutt deals 16, Bite 8 with 8 Block, and Nectar's buff is 16 Strength.
Where it appears
Silk never appears here. The same bugs come with a third worker in Bowlbug Swarm, and Rock returns in Slumber Party.
