Universal Bug Heroes (by Foursaken Media)

He has Beetle's armor (thicker armor), and replaces Speed with Self Defense. In other words he is a slow tank, and can almost be used as a replacement for Beetle with fully upgraded Self Defense!

 

So far, Mosquito, definitively.

I've always enjoyed playing Fly in the Coliseum, thanks to his high speed, and surprisingly high survivability once money starts rolling in (Fly's heal, for example, is actually quite usable, in spite of being a randomized ability, and Spinning Shot + Scoundrel plus some other damage-increasing abilities can clear out Coliseum crowds quickly).

Mosquito might not actually be a better hero in Adventure mode, and it is entirely possibly Fly is stronger even in Coliseum mode if used correctly, but with his dual healing level up abilities, Mosquito allows me to focus on the dual stick action, dodge and return fire, resulting in truly epic and intense shootouts. Simpler than Fly, most probably, but excellent simplicity, and excellent fun.

FM, while I know that we are technically playing the same heroes, I think it would be nice (and more immersive) if the game used their alternate names when opening the equipment/character panel (the sign at the top still displays the original hero's name), and the hero selection screen received a small upgrade with some text specific to the alternate hero, preferably describing in what ways the new hero differs from the source.

 

AAAHHHH!!!!

I JUST updated the game, started a new profile (as after my last profile reset I didn't play anymore) and the second the game started- it crashed!
Same way it would crash in v2.2- when I put my thumbs on both the analog sticks together, it crashed. Ran it again and didn't crash, but I'm sure it won't be long before it'll crash again. It's exactly the same crash as in v2.2.
I'm sad

Also, is it just me or Ant seems to be shooting a lot faster? Without any weapon upgrades...

 

Ah, but it felt like Pillbug is a little faster than Ladybug( that is if u dont upgrade the Ladybug's speed).

I might be wrong, but I've always wanted to give the rarely-used heroes a try.

 

I second that.

 

Round 33 with Spider on Tree Stump Hard.


Holy *beep*. Since when has the update been out?

Does anyone have $1 to spare?


Aaaaa. Why haven't the highscores for hard been reset?

 

I second that oxy

 

Can we PLEASE get the list of the new skins and EXACTLY what the differences are?

I'm playing the update and can figure some stuff out but for my peace of mind it'd be awesome if all the skin changes could be officially listed....bug heroes is deceptively technical so its important

 

They were already posted a while back, but if you don't feel like digging around in old articles you can go to the bug heroes wiki! Which our very own GodSon practically owns!

P.S. Wasp is my fav. no doubt about it. Mosquito would rock if only chance had been switched out(not my precious theft...).

 

I don't see the skin descriptions on the wiki?

 

Do the highscores have to be reset through a patch, or can FM do it anytime they want?

 

Hey Oxynidus:

I see GLWG is listed in your faves, I played for about 30 min but it was pretty simple and vowed to play again later......does it pick up in complexity eventually?

also I trust your word more than anyone else's on the board besides FM haha....could u give me a rundown on the differences of the skins?

Id REALLY appreciate it

 

It's in the wiki. In the heroes section.

P.s sorry I'm not Oxynidus.

 

In Game Center, there's no automated process, you have to contact Apple and get them to do it. But it's not correlated with patches/updates.

 

oh sorry! i had to actually click the HEROES button my bad....i was just looking under the heroes tab


thanks!

 

Only one that isn't listed is hunter....what's his deal?

thanks

 

You pretty much get 1 new unit every few missions until you finish the campaign, totaling 6 different types of soldiers, 8 vehicles, 4 ships and 3 helicopters. So yeah, it gains a lot of complexity. Plus, I like that you can Pass & Play with someone else.

Thanks for teh flattery . I haven't gotten the skins yet. Still waiting on a friend to purchase a US gift card for me.

 

He isn't on there because foursaken didn't post anything about him... You can kind of tell he was a quick make. He is mantis only black with two extra eyes on his head. His abilities are quite different though... He has assassinate, speed, and stun vs mantis's vicious, concentration, armor. I like mantis better in looks and abilities, but you might feel different.

 

i like the stun because it adds to mantis's ability to increase the amount of enemies he hits....so adding the stun gives him AoE stun with his normal attack, that seems very significant for a tank like mantis

 

I think Hunter is great. I definitely like the speed boost he's getting over Manits. He's like a bulky spider darting around the map.
