Newflamander
Newflamander guide for Clash Critters with role notes, upgrade priority, best modes, teammate ideas, image sources, wiki facts, and conservative build advice.
Quick Verdict
Blaze Burst is the page's main hook
Newflamander is a Fire DPS worth checking through AoE burn pressure. Start with stages where multiple enemies stay alive long enough for area damage to matter. Its role has to show a practical improvement before the next upgrade tier.
The current wiki stat grades list Attack B, HP B, Defense B, which helps set expectations before you compare it with alternatives. The current public data does not place it cleanly inside a full evolution chain. Its Rainbow tier makes resource discipline important; it should be active in a team before it receives scarce materials.
F2P value: Depends on copies and food access. Treat Newflamander as a serious project only if it is already carrying a mode or chapter.
Best Modes
Good places to test
- Campaign or Horde waves where AoE burn pressure can hit more than one target
- Boss Challenge attempts once a frontline already protects the damage slot
- Evolution-line testing for its standalone or currently unclear evolution position status before spending food or duplicates
Be careful in
- Boards with no reliable frontline in front of the damage slot
- Pure single-target checks if its area value is the main reason you are considering it
Compare results against the Gold Mine Rush guide, Boss Challenge guide, and Horde Invasion guide.
Best Teammates
Newflamander wants protection first, then a support or healer if the fight lasts long enough for AoE burn pressure to repeat.
Use these as comparison partners, then keep the pairing that makes Newflamander's listed skill easiest to measure.
Upgrade Priority
Priority: Newflamander can justify high priority, but only after you know where the standalone or currently unclear evolution position fits in your active 15.
Check the standalone or currently unclear evolution position against your current account goal: campaign push, mode farming, or a specific element gap.
Stop if Newflamander is no longer part of your active board, if a same-role Tatari gives cleaner results, or if the next upgrade delays a stronger line.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
- Area damage gives Newflamander a clear reason to test it against crowded waves.
- Boost text can raise the ceiling of allies that are already doing the main work.
- Its evolution position (standalone or currently unclear evolution position) helps decide whether the unit is a short bridge or a longer project.
Weaknesses
- Area-focused value drops sharply when the fight feeds enemies one at a time.
- Public data does not confirm every exact number, so compare repeated attempts rather than one lucky clear.
- Support value falls if placement keeps the right allies outside the useful area or timing.
Common Mistakes
- Testing Newflamander while changing several other slots, which makes it hard to tell whether AoE burn pressure helped.
- Continuing upgrades after Newflamander has already fallen out of the active 15-slot board.
- Placing allies too far away or too spread out to benefit from the support text.
