Guide awaiting review

1

Find a Rare Fire Beetle

Search for a rare-quality Fire Beetle in the wild. When you encounter one, be cautious at low health — it can cast Scorched Earth before your attack lands, and the combined damage can unexpectedly defeat your pet.

2

Choose the Right Breed

The H/H breed is a strong choice for the Fire Beetle, as its extra health synergizes well with its self-heal ability Cauterize, allowing it to absorb heavy hits and recover.

3

Build Around Cauterize

Fire Beetle works best on roach-style teams due to Cauterize being one of the few self-heals available among roach pets. Pairing it with a team healer maximizes its survivability, and consider your pet's speed when using Cauterize — a faster pet will heal less if the opposing pet has active damage-over-time effects.

Tips

  • Fire Beetle is functionally identical to Lava Beetle in terms of abilities and stats.

  • Fire Beetle is especially effective against undead enemies despite the prevalence of beast attacks in wild battles.
