Today, we bring you a strategy guide for skill pairing in the world of Rock Kingdom's Meteor Bug. This insect-based creature, which draws its power from the stars, can both transform into a magic artillery that clears groups and serve as a pillar of team defense through its intricate skill cycle and tactical synergy. The core of its skill system lies in "rhythm control”——by subtly adjusting the order of skill releases, it weaves burst damage, damage reduction, and armor breaking into a dense web of tactics, causing opponents to gradually collapse in the trap of interwoven starlight.

The Meteor Bug's signature skill "Bug Chirp" is the soul of its core output. When three circles of pale blue sound waves spread outward in concentric circles, each time they pass over an insect-type teammate, an additional star ring pattern appears at the edge of the sound wave. The triple-stacked shockwaves can deal devastating damage to enemy groups. In practice, the rebound effect when the sound waves reach the battlefield's edge often causes secondary damage to enemies attempting to flank.

The "Cover" skill injects a defensive variation into this celestial symphony. Upon release, star spots on the Meteor Bug's carapace detach and weave in the air to form a spherical barrier constructed with constellation runes, providing a 35% evasion boost and 20% damage reduction for the entire team for 3 turns, creating a safe environment for subsequent bursts. Advanced players can dynamically adjust tactics by observing the constellation patterns of the barrier — under the Gemini form, the evasion rate increases by an additional 5%, suitable for dealing with high-frequency physical attacks; the Libra form provides balanced resistance, making it an excellent choice against mixed-damage teams.

When the Meteor Bug summons a star-patterned stone slab from the void and hurls it at the target in a parabolic trajectory, the splashing crystal fragments form a two-turn armor-breaking field. When the slab hits an enemy marked by the "Bug Chirp" sound waves, the fragments will radiate out to the surrounding three tiles, spreading a 40% dual-defense weakening effect like a virus.

Choosing "Charge", the stardust path left by its charge trajectory can provide a speed boost to allies, especially suitable for quick flanking maneuvers; while "Contract Resonance" is the strategic trump card in a losing battle, activating resonance patterns on the shells of all insect-type pets, providing 25% resistance to type advantages and a 15% bonus to linked damage, sufficient to turn around a disadvantage against fire types. When the enemy's fiery storm sweeps in, the nebula vortex on the resonance shield's surface converts some of the damage into healing particles, staging a comeback.

A magic attack-oriented Meteor Bug is like a walking star cannon, with a 30-point magic attack threshold triggering the "Eclipse" effect, adding 2% of the maximum HP as true damage per second to the Bug Chirp sound waves; for a defense-oriented route, it is recommended to evenly develop both defenses to 25 points, activating the shell's "Stardust Absorption" trait, increasing the damage reduction effect of the Cover skill to 28%. A speed attribute stable between 22-24 points ensures the completion of the "Bug Chirp → Stone Slab Cannon" combo before the enemy under the "Stardust Rain" weather, allowing them to suffer full burst damage at the moment the armor break takes effect.
In practical scenarios, the value of the Meteor Bug varies greatly depending on tactical needs. In PVE dungeons, the triple Bug Chirp sound waves combined with the stone slab's armor break can quickly clear out clusters of small monsters; in arena battles, alternating use of Contract Resonance and the constellation barrier can effectively resist the enemy's type advantage attacks. In prolonged attrition wars, alternating the use of Cover and the stone slab to create a "defense vacuum period," coupled with the continuous damage from Eclipse, often secures victory before resources are depleted.
