'''The Gunk Bugs''' | '''The Gunk Bugs''' are one of the possible seventh fights a player can run into. The fight is won when the [[Enemies#Minibosses|miniboss]], {{Card|Weevil}}, is defeated. | ||

Depending on the deck, the fight with The Gunk Bugs can progress extremely smoothly or spiral out of control quickly. Both Blaze Beetles and Gunk Gobblers power up when cards are destroyed for any reason (including {{Keyword|Consume}} and {{Keyword|Recycle}}), with Blaze Beetles gaining {{Stat|Frenzy}} and Gunk Gobblers gaining {{Stat|attack}}. Dungroks have a lot of {{Stat|health}} and destroy a card in hand when attacking, so they will inevitably power up Blaze Beetles and Gunk Gobblers (particularly due to their {{Stat|Resist Snow}} making them hard to stall), and all three of these enemies have the same {{Stat|Counter}} of 3. Gunkbacks are inconveniences that get in the way of other enemies and create {{Card|Gunk Fruit|Gunk Fruits}} when hit, which clog up the deck and make it harder to draw useful cards. Once Weevil appears, even a single attack can dramatically shift the tide of battle, since it destroys ''every'' [[Items|Item]] in hand (including any Gunk Fruits that Gunkbacks created) and gains attack for each, while also simultaneously powering up any Blaze Beetles and Gunk Gobblers on the field. | Depending on the deck, the fight with The Gunk Bugs can progress extremely smoothly or spiral out of control quickly.

In order to stand a chance against The Gunk Bugs, a deck must be able to properly prioritize and defeat targets quickly. Even if the player avoids using Consume cards or sacrificing allies, Dungroks appear in each wave and will destroy cards in hand. Blaze Beetles and Gunk Gobblers are very weak at base, so killing Dungroks first is almost always the best strategy, especially since they also have Resist Snow to prevent stalling. Beyond that point, prioritize whichever enemy is most dangerous to the current deck: Blaze Beetles deal low damage but hit the row with {{ | In order to stand a chance against The Gunk Bugs, a deck must be able to properly prioritize and defeat targets quickly.

Beyond that point, prioritize whichever enemy is most dangerous to the current deck: Blaze Beetles deal low damage but hit the row with {{Keyword|Barrage}}, allowing them to effortlessly shred [[Shades]] and [[Clunkers]], while Gunk Gobblers deal large single hits that can take out even bulky [[Companions]]. Try to avoid hitting Gunkbacks whenever possible, but since they do deal a decent amount of damage, taking them out is still usually worth the Gunk Fruits it creates. During the turns before Weevil appears, try to hit the [[Redraw Bell]], so that there are as few cards as possible in hand once Weevil gets to attack. If it gains large amounts of attack, use expendable blockers to stop it in its tracks and keep up the offensive. | ||
{{Stat|Ink}} is very useful in this battle, allowing the player to negate whichever enemy's effect is most problematic. With a good source of Ink, it can be worthwhile to ''allow'' Dungrok to destroy unwanted cards while Inking Gunk Gobblers and Blaze Beetles so they don't get any benefits. | {{Stat|Ink}} is very useful in this battle, allowing the player to negate whichever enemy's effect is most problematic.
