⚡ What Pine Beetle Duel does
Every 6 minutes at base weight, the Pine Beetle challenges another player's beetle. If yours wins, you get a reward. The wiki says higher-level and heavier beetles are more likely to win, and that Pine Beetles can give a beetle reward no other beetle gives.
It needs an opponent: the duel is against another player's beetle, so it does nothing on an empty server.
📈 Pine Beetle stats by weight
| Pet weight | Cooldown |
|---|---|
| 10 kg | 5:40 |
| 50 kg | 4:20 |
| 100 kg | 2:40 |
| 500 kg | 1:20 |
Weight helps twice: it makes the beetle more likely to win, and it shortens the cooldown by 2 seconds per kilogram. That is about 2 minutes 40 seconds at 100 kg. The 80-second floor needs about 470 kg. The wiki doesn't publish the actual win odds.
