Rock DPS
Mudrump
Mudrump guide for Clash Critters with role notes, upgrade priority, best modes, teammate ideas, image sources, wiki facts, and conservative build advice.
Quick Verdict
Rock DPS with limited public mechanics
Public data does not fully describe Mudrump's skill behavior, so treat this as a controlled roster test. The first test should isolate Mudrump's job instead of changing the whole formation. Its best opening is a team where the board is short on damage from this element. A straightforward Rock attacker for early teams.
Its Blue tier makes it a low-cost early option, but that also means it should not crowd out stronger long-term projects. The current wiki stat grades list Attack D, HP E, Defense E, which helps set expectations before you compare it with alternatives. It starts the Mudrump -> Rockhog line, so early spending should be judged by whether that full path interests your account.
F2P value: Practical early on: Mudrump can cover a slot cheaply, but stop once stronger line options take over.
Best Modes
Good places to test
- Element-check stages that want Rock damage
- Boss Challenge attempts once a frontline already protects the damage slot
- Evolution-line testing for its starter form in the Mudrump -> Rockhog line status before spending food or duplicates
Be careful in
- Boards with no reliable frontline in front of the damage slot
- Stages where the missing piece is sustain, not damage
Compare results against the Gold Mine Rush guide, Boss Challenge guide, and Horde Invasion guide.
Best Teammates
Mudrump wants protection first, then a support or healer if the fight lasts long enough for Rock DPS coverage to repeat.
Use these as comparison partners, then keep the pairing that makes Mudrump's listed skill easiest to measure.
Upgrade Priority
Priority: Mudrump should trail higher-impact damage projects unless you specifically need Rock coverage.
Run Mudrump in the same stage several times before the next spend; one clean run is not enough evidence.
Do not keep feeding it after the comparison run shows no gain over a cheaper DPS or a better-developed Rock option.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
- Rock DPS coverage gives Mudrump a more specific job than a plain stat stick.
- Rock typing makes it easier to slot into teams that need that element without changing the whole board.
- Its evolution position (starter form in the Mudrump -> Rockhog line) helps decide whether the unit is a short bridge or a longer project.
Weaknesses
- survival problems will make the damage look worse than it is
- Public data does not confirm every exact number, so compare repeated attempts rather than one lucky clear.
- Mudrump can be outclassed if another Tatari covers the same DPS job with better current investment.
Common Mistakes
- Using Mudrump in a fight that does not ask for Rock DPS coverage, then blaming the unit for a bad matchup.
- Putting scarce food into Mudrump before the account knows whether the full line is worth chasing.
- Dropping Mudrump into an unstable formation and expecting it to fix unrelated team gaps.
