    Will mantis have a platypus skin?

    I'm a sick, sick man. I can't seem to put up with being 2nd. :p Sorry Tak. :D

    Just because you can make it work doesn't make it a good idea. -_- What kind of advantage do you gain by picking this combination?

    I just posted this in the Bug Heroes survival guide thread, am reposting it here to bring some more attention to this project. I sincerely hope I am not breaking any written or unwritten rules in doing so ;) :

    While I ill like to detract from a project such as the Survival Guide, and while the information in the guide is *very* valuable, a forum thread is not the best place for a strategic game database. And Bug Heroes is perhaps one of the iOS games that most warrants a centralized place of information and strategy advice.

    So, I've just created the first Bug Heroes Wiki and online database of strategy advice and world information.

    K?!, Oxynidus, and the rest of all ye talented Bug Heroes, would you consider moving all of your strategies, hero and base builds, advice, hints, and experience over to the wiki, and make it the one-stop central shop for Bug Heroes information?

    I'll do me best to populate the wiki myself, but I'm still wrestling with getting past levels 25-30 on easy (and am a person generally busy with that much less advanced simulation called real life. Bug Heroes is about the only game I've time for with any regularity), and might not be the best suited for hardcore strategy advice ;)

    If I get you fellas on board, I can focus on the world of Bug Heroes, something I'd prefer and have much more fun with, and leave the survival principles to them who can ;)

    Foursaken Media, would you have anything against me reposting the numbers and stats for enemies, turrets and abilities you've posted in these forums, pictures from the game and of enemies and heroes, as well as your official descriptions of the heroes, on the wiki?

    Wow. Nice work. This should be good for business. I shall post my strategies and whatnot once I'm fully confident in my knowledge and experience with all the heroes, which is why I haven't written any such thing yet. I don't do half-baked. :D


    Ok, here's the deal people. I shall play one game in each map with Ladybug as my main hero, to ensure that I gave her the chance she deserves, and see if I can get to Round 40 in any of them. Once the verdict is up, I hope I won't be accused of not knowing what I'm talking about. ;)

    Having a central database sound like a good idea. I'll contribute what I can, when I can. I just posted the icon and can get together the pics of the enemies and info on the insectopedia a little later. :)

    Made it to Round 41 on Normal Kitchen last night with Fly, Beetle and Termite! :D

    Anyways, so is Fly still getting a nerf that makes him not earn extra money from bugs killed by Turrets? That's gonna take a while to get used to.

    And what's happening to Termite's turrets in the next update?

    Thanks! And admireable disposition. Though if I shared the same mentality, I'd never play Bug Heroes, considering my skill ;)

    Ohh, that would be very nice. Once the enemies are up, if Foursaken Media do not mind, we can use this excellent post to supply the enemy pages with in-depth numbers!

    And welcome to the wiki!

    I forfeit. I'm not doing the Ladybug challenge. It drove me crazy.

    lol :p

    Is she really that bad for you? I use her mostly in Coliseum, but I don't mind her in Adventure mode for a different change of pace from time to time.

    If Fly's Pickpocket/Theft ability's get nerfed, seeing as how most of the top scores all have him on the team.. Should the leaderboards be reset because of the advantage those with that buff had?

    Awesome idea on the wiki! I'll definitely look around there.

    Well, I just found myself poisoned by a slug and stuck between a few bugs, a situation in which Beetle's knockback/stuns or Warrior Gauntlet would have rescued me, and lost a hero. It's my fault really, but still, she has a lot more trouble escaping situations like this than most heroes, which is something I need in a tank. Perhaps I should try again with Fly.



    You know, you would figure that she, as a supposedly versatile hero that combines the strengths of Spider and Beetle, she'd be excellent in Coliseum, but look at the Hard leaderboards. 0 Ladybugs in the top 50.


    By the way, I just discovered an awesome bug. If you accept Enemy Reinforcements quest, you can exit the game and resume, and you'll instantly complete the quest. lol.

    That's a huge find. Too bad it's going to be taken down in the next update, but think it can work toward other quests as well?

    I tried pairing up Ladybug with Grasshopper for healing purposes but I just dont know how to make it work yet. Oh well, I'm still a newbie. I noticed shes great for later round, but on Hard level in the early rounds, she's kinda useless.

    Just tried the quest bug. It doesn't work for Food Horder, Prowess, and Coin Collector Quests. Too bad because I hate picking up coin one after another.

    Well it doesn't really matter does it? It's bound to be fixed in the next update.

    Nope, but it could give me some edge when trying to reach for high scores, but will the next update reset the high scores?

    That's what I'm thinking... :/ Sadly, Fly's getting a nerf so I think a reset is inevitable. It's sad, cuz I just recently got to Round 40+ on Normal kitchen...
