Why Team Snakemouth hate Waspinator?

Not-Quite-Miniboss: Wasp Trooper
HP: 12
Defense: 2

Attacks:
-Spear Toss (6 damage to a single party member)
-Spear Strike (6 damage to a single party member)
-Charge (5 damage to a single party member)

The game doesn't consider this a true miniboss, but the fight can be challenging enough to feel like one (and also because this song is a banger) and so I decided to record it.

2 defense is a _lot_ by this game's standards; there's not a whole lot Vi and Leif are going to be able to do here unless you put them in the front row. As such, Kabbu should be your main attacker, with the other two relaying their turns to him if they don't have anything else they can do. The Trooper also hits pretty hard, but it's the defense that makes him an issue.

That being said, his health is comparable to a normal enemy's. Heck, he has less health than the Underlings along the path to the pier. If you've been getting your ranks up you should have Heavy Strike by now; a couple of those will send the Trooper packing in no time. I used a Spicy Berry here to speed things along, but I don't think it's essential to victory.

Bug Fables is a 2019 turn-based RPG created by Moonsprout Games and published by DANGEN Entertainment. It is heavily inspired by the original two Paper Mario games (Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door) and can be seen as a spiritual successor to them, although it has plenty of quirks of its own.

This playthrough was done on Hardest Mode. This isn't quite the same thing as using the Hard Mode medal, although that's part of it. HARDEST is one of the menu codes uncovered by doing certain things in the game, which serve as mutators when entered into the naming screen when creating a new file.

From the Bug Fables wiki (https://bugfables.fandom.com/wiki/Menu_Codes):
-The game is permanently in Hard Mode.
-Wearing the Hard Mode medal turns Team Snakemouth into Pibu.
-All enemies have 15% more HP and deal 1 more damage.
-After defeating Chapter 2's boss: all enemies deal 1 more damage.
-After starting Chapter 4: all enemies have 1 more defense.
-Members of a certain lategame optional boss team have 1 additional point of damage and defense.

Many thanks to the Bug Fables Discord for helping me make sure the information here is accurate.
