Beetle is one of the Vek from Into The Breach.
Description[ | ]
The Beetle charges forward in a line, dealing 1 damage and pushing the first target it hits. Its 4 health is the most of any non-Alpha Vek.
Strategy[ | ]
A Beetle will die if its charge goes over any Water Tile, Lava Tile, A.C.I.D. Tile, or Chasm Tile. You should encourage this behavior whenever possible, by either offering your Mechs as targets near a hazardous tile for them to charge to, or shove them so that they charge at one. Their high health can make it inefficient to dispose of them by other means.
Alternatively, if the Beetle is first in the attack order, try to displace them so that they target another enemy; since they damage AND push their target, look for opportunities where they can provide bump damage, push grounded enemies into water, or push another enemy away from a building. Just use caution to ensure they don't push an enemy into a building, as the bump damage will damage it even if their charge damage kills the enemy first.
