Almighty Arataki Beetle Brawl Day 3

How to Clear Fanatic Passion Difficulty

Use Piercing Strike to Break Enhanced Status

In Fanatic Passion against the Super-Heavy Defensive Formation, you can only break its enhanced status once you hit it with a piercing strike! The Piercing Strike needs a long charge up and the enemy will dish out attacks one after the other!

The best timing to do a piercing strike is when the enemy beetle stomps the ground to produce multiple quakes. You must dodge the AoE Attack and charge up as soon as you see it about to stomp a second time!

Fully Charge Up Piercing Strike

Sometimes, even when you have already charged up the entire meter for the Piercing Strike, the hit won't connect at all because the enemy is too close. You must have some distance between you and the opponent.

You must also charge it up a little bit more even if the meter is full until you're almost out of stamina for the hit to register!

Wait for the Enemy to Walk toward You

After the Super-Heavy Defensive Formation does an attack, it will have a moment where it will walk toward you, use this moment to your advantage after it does multiple quake stomps!

Wait for the Opponent's Attack First

It is very important to thoroughly observe the Super-Heavy Defensive Formation after it enhances itself. This allows you to judge whether it's the best time to charge up a piercing strike or dodge the attack!

Don't Get Hit by AoE Attacks

The Super-Heavy Defensive Formation enemy is really strong, and it will drain your HP if keep getting hit so avoid getting hit by any of its attacks, especially the AoE attacks! The quake attacks will reduce at least 30% of your HP on hit.

How to Clear Friendly Spar and Honed Will Difficulties

Break Enhanced State with Rushes and Strikes

The Friendly Spar and Hone Will Difficulties allow you to break the Super-Heavy Defensive Formation's enhanced state by doing at least two rushes or one piercing strike! Which means you have more chances to beat them!

Dodge All Attacks at the Start

In Honed Will or Friendly Spar, it's best to dodge all its attacks at the start due to its unpredictability. Each round, this beetle will have a different opening attack, so it's best to dodge it all!

Stay a Few Tiles Away

Being too close to this enemy will trigger the quake attacks and if you are too far it will trigger thunderstrikes, so stay a consistent distance away from the beetle!

Find A Key Moment to Attack

The best time to attack is when the enemy is doing quake attacks many times, and you are a little bit away from them. This allows you to charge up for a rush or a piercing strike without needing to dodge!
