Or you can take the astral route. Since they are astral beings,
their attributes in the astral plane is equal to their force, and doesn't
include their spirit energy (except for reation). Plus, they don't have
their armor there.

Of course, they are fast as hell and they have an impressive
threat rating. One way of countering it is by overwhelming it through
numbers. Any mage with a high charisma and great conjuring abilities can
summon a whole squad of attack watchers to whittle away at any high combat
pool the bug may have. Risky, but it may work...
