While you’re in the beetle grounds, you can also train your adult beetles here for 10SB per training. This can only happen once per day, and gives a chance of boosting the chosen stat by 1 point.

You’ll probably already have noticed the hunger bar being replaced by a training bar on your adult beetles. This now tells you whether you have trained them for the day yet.

Now that your beetle is trained and fed, and so very b, he’ll be ready for battling! The battle grounds are located between the Scrying Stone and the Monkey Business on the Explore Map.

Clicking on the two beetles there will take you to the Beetle Battle page.

Finding an Opponent  

Now that you’re there, you’ll want to find an opponent. Easy-peasy. Just click on the drop down box to choose your Battler of choice, and then press Find Opponent and Battle! The site will find you a beetle within the tier based on your stats, and a battle will play out. The opposing beetle is chosen from players who have been online in the past seven days, and if there is none to be found, an NPC beetle will be generated.

After each battle, each beetle has a 15-minute cooldown. This only applies to the beetles who participated in the battle, so if you have more beetles to battle, you can use them instead! This also means that if your beetle is challenge by an opponent, it will also be on cooldown.

What do I get when I win?

Every win will garner your beetle 10EXP, as well has your lion having varying chances to get extra rewards.

What about when I lose?

Every loss gives your beetle 5EXP, as well as an uncommon chance for a herb. Losers also receive a 15 minute cooldown on the beetle. NOTE: Only the person who initiates the battle gets the rewards. If you are defending, and you win, you only get EXP for defending.

Don’t want your beetle to battle? Easy fix!

What about their Battle Record?

Simply go to that beetle’s page, and in the section that details the wins and losses, will be a clickable section that says View Recent.

When you click on it, it takes you to a page that shows the last 100 battle results of that beetle. These records expire after 5 days.

Stat Tiers  

Beetle tiers are based on the stats of your beetles. It’s counted from -10 to +10 of your beetle’s stats. If your beetle is ber, there’s a greater chance of it winning, but there is always a chance that you could still lose.

How does EXP work?

This is a little more complex. EXP is needed to level up and gain a stat, and the needed EXP is calculated based on the total stats of your beetle at the moment of levelling up. This means that the first levelling will always need 100 EXP, but further ones will have to be calculated based on the individual beetle, as they can get stats from training! This nice chart helps explain it.

Whenever your beetle levels up, it gains a stat point. Total EXP needed to level up is always 10x your beetle’s stats. So if your beetle has 76 stats, then it needs 760EXP to level up. After levelling, the EXP goes back to zero.

How do I level my beetle?!

On your beetle’s page, there’ll be a button that says Boost Stats! Click on that, and you’ll level up your beetle.
