===The Battle===
*Buffs are lost upon entry.
*Bugboy is immune to Charm, but susceptible to Lullaby and Sleep; he builds resistance to Gravity and Bind.
*Bugboy seems to build a resistance to debuffs (ex. dia, slow, grav) at an abnormally high rate 
*Bugboy uses [./https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Mighty_Strikes Mighty Strikes] throughout the fight, he uses it multiple times.
:*Noted to use his two hour exactly three times, exactly at 75%, 50%, and 25% hp.
*Bugboy takes 1x [./https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Magic magic] damage during 1st Mighty Strikes, 1.5x magic damage during 2nd Mighty Strikes and 2x magic damage during 3rd Mighty Strikes. Applies to [./https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Atonement Atonement] damage as well, doing potential 1500 during 3rd Mighty Strikes.
*Bugboy has the odd ability to use two tp moves in immediate succession. Unknown what the circumstances are of this happening, but casting stun immediatly after his first move will prevent him from using a second.
*Bugboy's damage output increases as his hp goes down, Heavy Whisk started out doing ~200 damage at the beginning of the fight, and upwards of 700 as he nears death.
*Builds up a resistance to slow. (unable to land [./https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Filamented_Hold Filamented Hold] after a few times, even with convergence and burst affinity).
*Susceptible to gravity (even /dnc desperate flourish with steps up)
*The fight may be fought with up to 18 party members, however this decreases the amount of XP earned.
:*This ENM can be done with 3 people, BRD75, RDM75, and NIN75.
:*This ENM can be done with 3 BLM75 with RDM sub-job for ES Gravity and ES Sleep, nuking this in chains with Tier4 spells, until MP is out, then ES Sleep and do the same again when your MP is good. If needed, use [./https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Manafont Manafont]. For well-geared BLMs it's possible to Sleep Bugboy 3-5 times without using [./https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Elemental_Seal Elemental Seal].
