Information
A rare form of Buzzy Beetle that stands upright and likes to pick up and throw ice blocks. They're weaker than normal Buzzy Beetles, but since Arpeggio treats their shells as the same armor piece, they are much more defensive than in their single game appearance (if you don't like that, get rid of the armor and just treat their shell as merely an aesthetic aspect of their body). Their block mechanics borrow the rock mechanics of Gulpits.
Notes
- Whenever one or more Buster Beetles are in a battle, a row of ice blocks will also be present in the background. Buster Beetles will preferentially attack by throwing these blocks, but the blocks do not respawn after use and all Buster Beetles in the battle share the same row. The blocks can also be targeted by attack, but count as a separate group from the enemies and therefore won't be hit by multitarget attacks targeting enemies, though all blocks can be destroyed with a multitarget attack targeting the block row. All blocks have 1 HP and no Defense Power and do not do anything once the Buster Beetles are gone, nor do they need to be destroyed to end the battle. The number of blocks in the row at the start of a battle can vary, but is most commonly five.
