    You can by double-tapping but it requires some precision

    It does NOT require you those heroes. You just get bonuses if you complete the missions if you use those heroes if you have them.
     
  3. Roach...

    Get warrior sigil. Get Scurry high... I'm struggling with Counter, do not think it works like it did in other Foursake games? Where, you activate it right when someone hits you it will do the counter... I think you have to actually do the counter strike.

    Anyway, Roach can become a favorite for striking for sure... Don't let him linger, though, all that armor visually so far, I have not figured out if it becomes practical yet.

    No, there are really hero-restricted misions

    Ah... probably dont have those yet. This game has me addicted to it though.

    It even has the potential to take over H&C as my favorite Foursaken game.

    Still enjoying the game but only have 5 heroes so far, my favourite team out of what I have seems to be Cicada and Pillbug.

    I do try different teams of course but keep getting stuck on some missions and ending up playing endless I generally only earn about 20 diamonds on endless I'm not getting anywhere near the 40-50 one of you were.

    Does that mean if you delete the game and reinstall at a later date your progress will be picked up when u reinstall the game?

    By the way, my save from the NZ version appeared without problems in the German Appstore version. Well done Foursaken!

    Touting me own horn here, but for all those of you in the thread discussing what heroes to spring for or to lament that you received at random, you'll find some initial analyses of Bumblebee, Moth, Spider, Ant, Roach and Fly on page 3 of this thread (plus some extended initial impressions of the game, if you'd like to reinforce why you actually like it ;) ).

    And once you guys are reasonably sure of what you like and do not, help me to expand the Bug Heroes 2 wiki over at Wikia! This game is DEFINITIVELY deep, varied, compelling and competitive enough to warrant its own database of strategies and hero guides, enemies, maps, heroes and turrets, and the kind of discourse that springs up around desktop MOBAs and help keep the competitive community vibrant, active and informed.

    Remember that any mission will drop in difficulty (and star reward) after three failed attempts.

    Yep, someone has ;) Ironically, because I am so VERY fond of this game, I really didn't want to spend too much money on unlocking heroes. I want to have heroes left to unlock weeks or months from now, as additional incentive beyond all the other addictive reasons to play this game. But at the same time, I did want to throw money Foursaken's way. So I began by purchasing one legendary, the one that seemed to hold the most appeal to me from the hero and ability names, and that was Mantis.

    Looking for a thorough analysis, or a brief description? Here is the latter:

    Mantis embodies the principles of a hunter, Black Widow-style, but in ass-whoppingly gargantuan form. She is a single and multitarget DPS burst hero, with additional scout, harrassment and stealth capabilities. She has splendid movement and one mobility ability, two different stealth effects, a high damage AoE, and also throws in self-healing (though not quite at Aphid's level), a little stun/crowd control through equipment, and very high armor piercing into the mix. And she is, being a legendary hero, obscenely powerful. But really not overbearingly so. Forget yourself for a few seconds, and a group of the weakest enemies can bring her down, much like any other hero in the game. However, because of her particular focus and sustainability, she can make a mockery of some otherwise particularly hard missions, in some particular contexts. But it does not seem to me that these qualities are anything that would unbalance gameplay in PvP.

    So guys whats a good legendary melee character and 1 ranged legendary character? I am not sure if I like melee over ranged yet because I only have 2 characters that are both melee.

    All legendaries are probably good at what they do ;) You'll find a short description of Mantis in my post above, and she definitively qualifies as a "good legendary melee character" for me.

    I will say, this sounds absolutely amazing! Thanks for the description!
     
  15. Going to say, this is exactly my sentiment. I am going to save up diamonds, unlock with stars, etc. but paid for the Ranger, Slug and Roach to beat some of those hero-required missions. I knew that they were going to remove those, but I went ahead and got them :)

    Ranger is boss. Don't need to spoiler it, but the guy has a machine gun that with the proper upgrades, can shoot pretty much anywhere, great support units, great abilities.... I just surpassed JCho with him :) I would have gotten even higher, but one of my kids distracted for a nanosecond, forgot to hit pause, and got waylaid by a bunch of little bugs, then a Mantis spawned and took out my base quickly, even with all my turrets and a ton of items to rebuild with...

    I'll go again tonight :)

    So much to do. Truly love what Foursaken has done here.

    As always, great write-up of Mantis :)

    Btw, any mods know why the icon is blank on the front page and in the app info?

    I have a small issue: on the advanced combat mission (part 2 of the tutorial), I purchased an upgrade with a star, but now I don't see what the next move is and I can' go forward (play button is grayed out)

    any idea what I need to to?

    Yeah, my only encounter with a legendary so far indicates that Foursaken has really done a good job at balancing these monstrosities. They put tons of power in the player's hand, and feel awesome to play but without unbalancing the game (in most instances, some missions do feel reaaaally easy with Mantis).

    And they even have drawbacks! Their size, for one thing, means that it is both harder to notice and target small bugs, and dodging ranged fire is now a fine art combined with a precise science.
