Do you have what it takes to raise the biggest and baddest bug around? Prepare for Bug Brawl, where insects prove their worth in a bug-eat-bug world!
Players Lv. 33 and up can participate by accepting the quest '[Bug Brawl] Here's Your Bug' from the star event notifier on the left side of the screen, or speaking to NPC Doctor Ong to receive a starter companion bug. Once you've received the bug, you can click on its Photo Album to view its feeding and care requirements, base power, current level, and what it can evolve into. During the event, monsters within your level range (20 levels below and 20 levels above) have a chance to drop different bugs. Some of these smaller insects make for great bug feed, and if you collect them, your companion bug will grow stronger and grant you bonus EXP! But be warned - monsters may also drop bigger bugs that are natural enemies to your companion, and if you or a pet picks up an insect that is the same evolution or higher than your bug, it will lose EXP. Double-check to make sure you don't have a pet automatically picking up dangerous loot!
You can also summon your companion bug by double-clicking it to receive a small stat boost. Look out for the Praying Mantis, as only the strongest bugs will be able to defeat it!
Once your companion bug reaches a certain level, you can evolve it into a more powerful bug! To evolve your companion bug, first open the Photo Album that you obtained when you received your bug. Inside the Photo Album, you’ll be able to select which bug you’d like to evolve your companion bug into. There are multiple evolutionary paths you can take, each granting their own rewards. If you’d like to reset your bug to an Ant, accept the quest '[Bug Brawl] Debugging' and Doctor Ong will then replace your current bug with an Ant.
Each bug gives the following stat boosts:
- Ladybug: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +1
- Ant: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +2
- Bee: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +3
- Dragonfly: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +4
- Beetle: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +5

If you level up your bug all the way to the powerful Titan Beetle or Hercules Beetle level, you'll earn exclusive rewards!
