Lightning Specialist
Synthhog
Synthhog guide for Clash Critters with role notes, upgrade priority, best modes, teammate ideas, image sources, wiki facts, and conservative build advice.
Quick Verdict
Wave Rave is the page's main hook
Synthhog is a Lightning Specialist worth checking through area damage. Start with stages where a flexible tech slot is more valuable than another ordinary attacker. Its role has to show a practical improvement before the next upgrade tier.
The wiki stat table is sparse, so judge this page by skill behavior and role fit first. The current public data does not place it cleanly inside a full evolution chain. Public rarity context is limited here, so the skill text and repeated tests matter more than tier assumptions.
F2P value: Tied to how often Synthhog's Lightning Specialist job appears in your current blocker list.
Best Modes
Good places to test
- Stages where area damage is more useful than another plain damage slot
- Roster experiments after the basic frontline, damage, and support pieces are already present
- Lightning coverage checks where a specialist can solve a narrow failure pattern
Be careful in
- First-account teams that still need a simple tank or damage dealer
- Any stage where its mechanic cannot be observed after several clean tests
Compare results against the Gold Mine Rush guide, Boss Challenge guide, and Horde Invasion guide.
Best Teammates
Synthhog should be paired with a stable lane core so its specialist mechanic is the variable being tested.
Use these as comparison partners, then keep the pairing that makes Synthhog's listed skill easiest to measure.
Upgrade Priority
Priority: Synthhog is a test-first project because specialist upgrades are strongest when their mechanic is visibly changing outcomes.
Check the standalone or currently unclear evolution position against your current account goal: campaign push, mode farming, or a specific element gap.
Stop if Synthhog 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.
Evolution Trial
Skills
- Wave Rave: Inflicts Scouted and Bat: Fragile on enemies over a wide area. When Scouted expires, Scouted enemies take damage proportionate to total damage taken over the duration of the effect.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
- Area damage gives Synthhog a clear reason to test it against crowded waves.
- Lightning typing makes it easier to slot into teams that need that element without changing the whole board.
- 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.
- Unknown rarity context makes it harder to estimate long-term cost from public data alone.
- Synthhog can be outclassed if another Tatari covers the same Specialist job with better current investment.
Common Mistakes
- Testing Synthhog while changing several other slots, which makes it hard to tell whether area damage helped.
- Continuing upgrades after Synthhog has already fallen out of the active 15-slot board.
- Calling one lucky clear proof when the same setup fails repeated attempts.

Is Synthhog worth building in Clash Critters?
Synthhog is worth attention when area damage is the answer your team is missing. If the stage is asking for a different job, keep it as a comparison pick rather than forcing upgrades.
Is Synthhog good for beginners?
Beginners should use Synthhog only when its Specialist job enters the active board. A high-rarity or interesting skill is not enough by itself.
What team should I use with Synthhog?
Synthhog should be paired with a stable lane core so its specialist mechanic is the variable being tested.
