BgDthThd, also known as BDT is the Falzar version exclusive Bug Frag Giga Chip. It is Screen Dimming Giga chip that changes the player's Charge Shot into Bug Death Thunder. Bug Death Thunder consumes 1 Bug Frag when fired. If the player has no Bug Frags to use, the Charge Shot will fire a Thunder instead.

Using Bug Death Thunder will replace any previous Charge Shots the player has regardless of source. It remains active in Crosses and will replace Falzar's Beast Buster, allowing the player to use a Charge Shot in Beast Out. This will also give the player a normal buster in Beast Out.

BgDthThd is a tracking thunder ball that deals 200 Paralyzing, Elec damage. Bug Death Thunder's damage, charge time and attack speed are constant, and are unaffected by Attack, Speed or Charge stats.

BgDthThd has a Chip Lockout window upon firing the buster, rather than the chip activation itself. Chip Lockout prevents the user from using chips or activating a Time Freezing Counter during that window.

Bug Death Thunder is a tracking attack, this means that if the opponent leaves the field, the thunder ball can leave the field completely.

Notes

• In Tango Netbattle Bug Frags will not be consumed and the player has an infinite supply.
• Bug Death Thunder behaves differently if the player is the Host or the Client in a PvP match.
  • As Host your thunder ball will leave the field if an opponent in the Invisible is standing on the edge of their field.
  • As client the thunder ball will remain on the field and attempt to track the opponent.
  • This is fixed in the Bingus patch, and the thunder ball will always behave as Host and leave the field.

Frame Data

• Bug Death Thunder is not affected by Charge Stat, and takes 200 frames to fully charge. It has a ?? frame startup. Each Bug Death Thunder ball lasts on the field for 480 frames, allowing for a maximum of 2 at once.

• Bug Death Thunder balls take 40 frames to travel from the center of a panel to the center of an adjacent panel.

• Chip Lockout lasts for 30 frames and starts as the player's buster arm drops. This happens after the Bug Death Thunder has been fired.

Competitive Overview

BgDthThd is a fairly unique Giga chip in that most folders would need to be dedicated to enabling the giga chip, rather than using is as supplementary damage. This is because it requires a large number of setting up against an opponent who knows how to deal with it.

There are two main archtypes of builds using BDT, ones with a second Giga chip such as HubBatc and ones without.

Both are powerful stratigies with their own benefits and drawbacks.

Counterplay

BgDthThd is considered one of the most difficult Giga Chips for new players to deal with, but while it can be very strong, there is a number of ways to completely deny any value it might provide.
