Rock DPS
Zenscarab
Zenscarab guide for Clash Critters with role notes, upgrade priority, best modes, teammate ideas, image sources, wiki facts, and conservative build advice.
Quick Verdict
Dung Blitz is the page's main hook
The page becomes relevant once multiple enemies stay alive long enough for area damage to matter. Zenscarab's listed skill, Dung Blitz, fits a slow control job better than a generic stat-check role. Crowded waves are a better first test than isolated targets.
The wiki stat table is sparse, so judge this page by skill behavior and role fit first. Public rarity context is limited here, so the skill text and repeated tests matter more than tier assumptions. The current public data does not place it cleanly inside a full evolution chain.
F2P value: Tied to how often Zenscarab's Rock DPS job appears in your current blocker list.
Best Modes
Good places to test
- Campaign or Horde waves where slow control 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
Zenscarab wants protection first, then a support or healer if the fight lasts long enough for slow control to repeat.
Use these as comparison partners, then keep the pairing that makes Zenscarab's listed skill easiest to measure.
Upgrade Priority
Priority: Zenscarab earns upgrade attention when its slow control matches the stages blocking progress.
Start with the mode that best exposes slow control, then compare Zenscarab 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.
Skills
- Dung Blitz: Launches dung balls that linger for a long time on hit, dealing AoE DMG over time and inflicting Slow.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
- Area damage gives Zenscarab a clear reason to test it against crowded waves.
- Rock 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.
- Zenscarab can be outclassed if another Tatari covers the same DPS job with better current investment.
Common Mistakes
- Reading slow control as a guaranteed answer before checking the same stage with a comparable DPS.
- Ignoring the evolution line and treating a bridge form like a permanent endpoint.
- Expecting control value in stages where enemy movement or timing is not the actual problem.
