Like previous iterations, Beetle Battle involves 1v1 Onikabuto battles. Each insect has its health and stamina bars, and the goal is to deplete your opponent's options before they do the same to you. Use your Onikabuto's movement, stamina, and special moves strategically to outsmart your opponent.
How to Control Your Beetle
Controlling your Onikabuto is straightforward:
Forward (D): Move towards the right.
Backward (A): Move towards the left.
Hold-press Forward: Consume stamina and tackle.
Guard (Q): Block incoming attacks.
Key Tips for Victory
Timing is Crucial: Knowing when to dodge, attack, and use special moves is paramount. Observing the opponent's movements and capitalizing on openings will lead to success.
Efficient Stamina Management: Using stamina wisely for both offensive and defensive maneuvers is vital. Charging attacks and tackling foes should be balanced to avoid exhaustion.
Guard Against Special Moves: Onikabuto with special moves can be formidable. Utilize the guard button strategically to shield against lightning attacks and other special moves.
