Fire DPS
Scorchwing
Scorchwing guide for Clash Critters with role notes, upgrade priority, best modes, teammate ideas, image sources, wiki facts, and conservative build advice.
Quick Verdict
Fire DPS with limited public mechanics
Do not judge Scorchwing by rarity alone. Scorchwing needs to prove its value through the DPS job rather than through unverified mechanics. The page becomes relevant once damage over time can finish targets while the frontline holds. A practical early Fire upgrade and a named Fire Dojo reward on the community wiki.
It is the endpoint of Sparkrow -> Scorchwing, which makes the page more about final-role value than short-term filler. The current wiki stat grades list Attack D, HP E, Defense E, which helps set expectations before you compare it with alternatives. Its Blue tier makes it a low-cost early option, but that also means it should not crowd out stronger long-term projects.
F2P value: Practical early on: Scorchwing can cover a slot cheaply, but stop once stronger line options take over.
Best Modes
Good places to test
- Element-check stages that want Fire damage
- Boss Challenge attempts once a frontline already protects the damage slot
- Evolution-line testing for its endpoint of the Sparkrow -> Scorchwing 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
Scorchwing wants protection first, then a support or healer if the fight lasts long enough for control utility to repeat.
Use these as comparison partners, then keep the pairing that makes Scorchwing's listed skill easiest to measure.
Upgrade Priority
Priority: Scorchwing earns upgrade attention when its control utility matches the stages blocking progress.
Start with the mode that best exposes control utility, then compare Scorchwing against another DPS before feeding the next copy.
Pause if the only reason to continue is collection progress. The upgrade should improve a team you actually use.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
- control utility gives Scorchwing a more specific job than a plain stat stick.
- Fire typing makes it easier to slot into teams that need that element without changing the whole board.
- Its evolution position (endpoint of the Sparkrow -> Scorchwing 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.
- Scorchwing can be outclassed if another Tatari covers the same DPS job with better current investment.
Common Mistakes
- Letting rarity or artwork decide the test instead of the actual Fire DPS need.
- Spending on the endpoint of the Sparkrow -> Scorchwing line just because it is available, instead of checking the current team slot first.
- Comparing Scorchwing only by tier while ignoring its Fire DPS job and the allies around it.
