Recommended Skill Sets

Tenacious Devotion Build

Playstyle

Tank support, field attrition, quickly stack Devotion layers for the team

Why this set works

Maximize the dual Dedication mechanic of trait "Tough Armor" and skill "Bug Formation". Quickly accumulate random Dedication for the team through frequent hits taken and responding to attacks. Swarm Passage as main output enjoys Dedication bonuses, Fly Cut low-cost finishing move also stacks Dedication, Cocoon provides sustain and吸血 Dedication. Overall positioning: high-tankiness Dedication engine, suitable for prolonged battles and team support.

Swarm Passage

Why pick this skill

Core damage skill. Base 2-hit combo that can be increased to 3 hits with Devotion. Low 45 Energy cost. The main source of same-type Physical damage for Bug-types.

Flying Sever

Why pick this skill

Low Energy cost 20, deals damage while stably providing 1 Devotion (Power +20), synergizes with Swarm Passage, supplements damage and accelerates team buffs

Bug Formation

Why pick this skill

Strongest damage reduction response skill, 80% damage reduction + random Devotion on hit, perfectly synergizes with trait "Tough Armor", dual Devotion sources stacking, extremely high team buff efficiency.

Cocoon

Why pick this skill

0 Energy cost sustain skill. Restores 20% HP + provides Life Drain Devotion, enhancing self field presence while continuing to stack Devotion layers for the team.

Mark Targeting Build

Playstyle

Targeted tactics: Mark dispel and sustain cycling, protecting teammate switches

Why this set works

Targeted build around the Mark mechanic. Wing Blade + Scavenging form a dispel/steal → healing core loop, extremely oppressive against Mark-dependent enemies. Cover provides timing protection and team support, Swarm Passing supplements regular damage. Effective against Grass, Phantom, and other types likely to carry Mark skills.

Wing Blade

Why pick this skill

High-power Physical attack, 95 Energy cost. Core function is dispelling enemy marks or stealing marks, holding strategic value against mark-based opponents.

Scavenge

Why pick this skill

0 Energy cost sustain god-tier skill. Restores 10% HP per enemy mark stack. Perfect synergy with Wing Blade's dispel/steal mark, achieving damage + healing cycle.

Cover

Why pick this skill

70% damage reduction + Emergency Retreat + damage reduction for next pet. Serves as safe setup before Wing Blade/Scavenge, or preserves self and assists teammates when HP is critical.

Swarm Passage

Why pick this skill

2-hit Physical damage + Devotion: hit count +1. Moderate Energy cost; serves as supplemental damage during Wing Blade downtime while continuing to provide team Devotion.

Notes
  • Little Beetle as a Tier I Bug-type creature, has low ATK 71 but high DEF 97, medium HP 98, and slow SPD 60. Trait "Tough Armor" provides random dedication to the team when hit, paired with its multiple damage-reduction response skills, positioned as tank/support type. Skill pool focuses on physical output, damage reduction responses, and team dedication buffs, lacking means to boost own output, more suitable as team damage-taker and dedication engine
  • With low base physical attack and slow speed, pure damage builds have limited returns; optimal role is attrition/support using high physical defense + trait + damage reduction counter skills.
  • Swarm Crossing and Flying Cut are the only two skills that can actively provide Devotion to the team, highly valuable; Bug Formation, Cover, and Intimidate form a damage reduction counter system; Scavenge and Wing Blade provide mark-targeting capabilities.
