Updated 2026-08-28
S
Blueflick Tatari iconBlueflickPurpleDPS

Strong early Fire damage path before the account reaches T2; good when you need a simple lane clearer.

Pyropup Tatari iconPyropupPurpleGuardian

High-value Fire Guardian starter that holds early lanes and leads into stronger frontline forms later.

Rubblet Tatari iconRubbletPurpleTank

Reliable Rock tank bridge for accounts planning toward stronger Rock frontlines.

Zappur Tatari iconZappurPurpleGuardian

Reliable early Lightning damage with enough reach to contribute before the lane gets crowded.

Frugling Tatari iconFruglingPurpleDPS

Grass DPS starter that can carry early lanes before higher evolutions.

Frostnip Tatari iconFrostnipPurpleDPS

Clean early Water slow source and one of the safest control projects.

A
Tindercub Tatari iconTindercubGuardian

Useful Fire Guardian starter when a Fire lane needs more body.

Shrimpyro Tatari iconShrimpyroDPS

Practical early Fire DPS slot for accounts short on lane damage.

Ashlarva Tatari iconAshlarvaTank

Fire support/tank line with healing and AoE potential.

Momopo Tatari iconMomopoTank

Rock tank that can stabilize a lane before late Rock projects are ready.

Gibber Tatari iconGibberPurpleGuardian

Solid early Rock Guardian for front-line coverage.

Voltfawn Tatari iconVoltfawnPurpleDPS

Lightning DPS with a good upgrade path into piercing pressure.

Cheerling Tatari iconCheerlingSupport

Early support with healing and boost value; place it beside two useful allies whenever possible.

Manteeny Tatari iconManteenyPurpleTank

Grass damage and control make it a practical early pick when the lane needs more than raw damage.

Waddledo Tatari iconWaddledoPurpleTank

Water tank option for early lane stability.

Cavyzap Tatari iconCavyzapPurpleDPS

Electro Cage adds small AoE, Bind pressure, and piercing follow-up signals that can interact across lanes; reaching T2 only needs six copies and 300 defeated Zobos.

Snowcub Tatari iconSnowcubPurpleTank

Three piercing fish give this Water Tank useful lane damage, while its Danger trigger spends a fish to heal and clear debuffs; the extra range makes it a strong early A-tier holder.

B
Droppit Tatari iconDroppitPurpleDPS

A usable Water starter, though the line needs later evolutions before its control becomes a real priority.

Pandaroo Tatari iconPandarooDPS

Grass damage starter and bridge into Panda-line utility.

Taptail Tatari iconTaptailDPS

A steady Rock damage bridge with better value once its later forms unlock.

Punchimp Tatari iconPunchimpPurpleDPS

T1 bridge toward the Rockong line; keep resources measured until the line progresses.

Sealing Tatari iconSealingPurpleDPS

Water utility bridge before the stronger T2 skill spike arrives.

Goonbug Tatari iconGoonbugPurpleSpecialist

Specialist roster filler that can patch awkward early lanes.

Sparkeet Tatari iconSparkeetTank

Lightning tank with useful early defensive value when a lane needs a sturdier body.

Zapup Tatari iconZapupBlueTank

Starter tank that can still appear later when a simple Lightning frontliner fits the lane.

Maskfry Tatari iconMaskfryTank

Water tank option for specific early lanes.

Budboo Tatari iconBudbooPurpleDPS

Poison gives this new Grass starter a real job, but the periodic venom seed is less dependable than the top early carries.

C
Cindermunk Tatari iconCindermunkBlueDPS

Usable Fire DPS, but lower priority than stronger starter lane options.

Cactobud Tatari iconCactobudDPS

Grass DPS filler at T1 before better Grass options appear.

Fluffle Tatari iconFlufflePurpleDPS

Lightning DPS filler; hold resources until it proves a lane job.

Funglet Tatari iconFungletSupport

Support pick that only pays off when the formation actually benefits.

Humbug Tatari iconHumbugDPS

Rock DPS with lower early priority.

Sackling Tatari iconSacklingTank

Grass tank with a useful role, but usually not the first starter to upgrade.

Zaplet Tatari iconZapletPurpleSpecialist

Lightning damage bridge with low priority unless the lane specifically needs its coverage.

Sparkit Tatari iconSparkitPurpleDPS

Fire DPS bridge with low priority unless your roster needs it.

Shardsnail Tatari iconShardsnailDPS

Rock DPS for niche coverage.

Voltkit Tatari iconVoltkitPurpleGuardian

Lightning Guardian starter; not a first upgrade unless the lane needs it.

Zapuni Tatari iconZapuniPurpleDPS

Lightning DPS starter with low early priority.

Drilleroo Tatari iconDrillerooSpecialist

Knockback can push two enemies into adjacent rows and apply Shredded when they cannot move, but the setup is situational enough to keep it in C tier.

Fumekit Tatari iconFumekitDPS

Continuous gas supplies cheap AoE and can ignite, but this low-form damage is roster filler rather than a first upgrade.

Sparkrow Tatari iconSparkrowBlueDPS

Early Fire lane pressure is serviceable, but it falls below the sturdier and more reliable T1 projects.
