How to Take Down the Coconut Crab in Bee Swarm Simulator

The Coconut Crab is one of the most challenging bosses in Bee Swarm Simulator. This colossal crustacean has high health and defense making it a formidable foe for new and mid-game players. However with the right strategy and gear, you can take down this crab and claim some juicy loot. In this guide, I’ll walk you through an easy method to defeat the Coconut Crab even if you’re still building up your hive.

Equip the Best Mask You Have

The first step is equipping the best mask you own. The Demon Mask or Fire Mask are ideal since their attack bonuses and passives help you deal more damage per hit. If you don’t have either of those yet, go with the best mask available. Any extra attack power or critical chance will be beneficial.

Use Coconut Clogs or Gummy Boots

Next, you’ll want to equip Coconut Clogs or Gummy Boots if you have them The Coconut Clogs provide a 5% bee attack bonus which directly increases your damage output The Gummy Boots have a 10% bee attack bonus, making them even better for boss battles. Equipping these will let your bees hit harder.

Bring Rage Tokens

Rage tokens are extremely helpful for battling the Coconut Crab These consumable items give you a 50% attack bonus for 30 seconds when used. Make sure to bring plenty of Rage tokens so you can use them repeatedly throughout the fight Activating them right before the crab respawns will let you deal max damage.

Have Instant Converter or Instant Refiner

Having an Instant Converter or Instant Refiner equipped saves you precious time. You won’t have to wait for your loot to convert or refine, allowing you to focus on attacking instead of collecting during the fight. Equip one of these tools so you can make the most of the limited time windows to damage the crab.

Level Up Your Bees

Leveling up your bees increases their attack power, health, energy, and abilities. Make sure to spend honey and treats on upgrading your bees before attempting the Crab. Having higher level bees will result in more damage per hit. Focus on boosting your top damage-dealing bees like Vicious, Rage, and Bomber first.

Use Focus Buffs

There are several buffs that can help you concentrate your damage on the Coconut Crab. The Weakening Field generates a zone that weakens the crab and boosts your bee attack. Enzymes and Glues give you bonus damage against boss monsters. Having these in your inventory and using them during the fight will help defeat the crab quicker.

Bring a Friend

Battling the Coconut Crab with a friend makes the fight much easier. Having another player attack the crab doubles the damage inflicted. Try to find someone around your same hive level so your bees can work together to chip away at the Crab’s health. Make sure to utilize abilities and buffs to sync your damage.

Reset Your Hive

Before entering the Crab’s lair, reset your hive using the Hive reset portal outside. This lets you customize your bee lineup specifically for a boss battle. Equip bees with strong attack bonuses like Rage, Vicious, and Brave bees to maximize your hitting power. Also bring 1-2 Baby Bees to regen lost bees faster.

Use the Mountain Top Field

Fighting the Coconut Crab in the Mountain Top Field is advantageous. The honey tokens in this field boost critical chance by 50%. That results in more critical hits that deal 150% more damage. The boost really accelerates taking down the Crab’s health.

Equip Critical Power Boosts

You can further improve your critical hit rate by equipping bonuses like the Crimson Guard, Cobalt Guard, and Precise Bee. The Crimson and Cobalt guards directly boost critical power. The Precise Bee’s passive also gives you +50% critical power making it ideal for bosses.

Activate Bee Abilities

Make sure to manually activate your bee’s abilities during the fight, especially ones that deal damage or improve attack. For example, use Vicious Bee’s rampage, Bomber Bee’s bombardment, Rage Bee’s sting swarm. Time ability activation with Rage tokens for maximum effect.

Don’t Get Discouraged

The Coconut Crab has high defense and health, so it may take several tries to defeat it. Don’t get discouraged! Analyze each attempt to see where improvements can be made to your strategy, gear, and bee lineup. Persistence and learning from failures will eventually lead to victory.

Equip Battle Masks

Certain masks like the Demon Mask and Diamond Mask have battle modes that activate when your health drops below 50%. Equipping one of these masks essentially gives you a second life during the fight. If your health gets low, the mask will power up your bees to finish off the remaining crab health.

Use the Coconut Field

Fighting the Coconut Crab in the Coconut Field can be an easier alternative to the Mountain Top. The Coconut Field boosts white pollen collection by 2x. Having more white pollen results in faster bee ability regeneration. You can activate abilities more frequently to take down the crab quicker.

Focus on Damage Over Defense

When customizing your battle hive, emphasize bees that boost attack power rather than defense. The goal is defeating the Crab before it defeats you, so all out offense is the best approach. Load up on bees like Vicious, Rage, Neon, and Crimson for their damage-increasing abilities.

Don’t Get Hit by Coconuts

A seemingly obvious tip – don’t get hit by the coconuts! Easier said than done, but avoiding the Crab’s coconut barrage reduces incoming damage. Listen for the coconut launch sound and move away quickly. Use boots like the Demon Boots to outrun coconuts. Preventing hits preserves your health.

Use the Petal Wand

Having the Petal Wand equipped helps drain the Coconut Crab’s health quicker. Simply stand near the crab and hold down the wand activation button. This will rapidly collect white pollen and convert it to damage on the crab. Just be ready to move to avoid the coconuts!

Activate Focus Token Before Respawns

The crab respawns multiple times during the battle at full health. Make sure to activate a Focus Token right before it respawns. The 3x pollen bonus will let you quickly replenish lost bees and build up bee ability energy for a strong opening attack.

Use Tactics That Slow the Crab

Some items like the Glue and Oil Buff weaken the crab to make it move and attack slower. Using these gives you more time to dodge coconuts while your bees inflict damage. A slowed crab is much easier to defeat.

Don’t Waste Buffs When Low on Health

If your health drops very low, avoid activating more buffs like Rage tokens. They’ll just be wasted when you die. Instead, focus on survival and restoring health. Once your health regenerates, then resume using buffs to finish off the remaining crab health.

Reset Between Attempts

Don’t be afraid to leave the field and return to reset if things aren’t going well. This fully restores your health and lets you retry with full buffs and item charges. There’s no limit to retries, so take advantage. With each attempt, you’ll learn more about strategies to finally take down the colossal crab.

The Coconut Crab may seem like an impenetrable fortress, but with the right preparation and strategy even novice players can topple this boss. Equip your strongest gear, bring friends, and use buffs wisely. Learn from each encounter until you find the optimal bee lineup, buff rotation, and field position. Stay determined through the defeats, and you’ll achieve sweet victory over the Coconut Crab.
