Cactoczar – Grass DPS
In-game bio: “At some point, Cactoczar realized that picking on Zobos is even more fun than pranking Tatari. After all, no matter how angry they get, they can't get close enough to strike back.”

How to use Cactoczar
Deploy Cactoczar in the back row, behind a Tank or Guardian, so it can fire the whole lane. As a Grass Tatari it should face Rock Zobos and avoid lanes with Fire Zobos — the game shows a green thumb when the match-up is right. Its skill hits an area, so it likes lanes where Zobos bunch up. Cactoczar is the final form, which is where the line's rank is judged.
Tier verdict for the Cactobud line (B): Grass DPS stacking Sting that implodes on kills; only three stages, so no T4 ceiling.
Cactobud line Horde Invasion skills
In Zobo Horde Invasion every Tatari learns three extra skills at Horde levels 3, 5 and 7; they are shared by the whole Cactobud line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Needle Rain: Launches spines to inflict Sting. DMG increases with the number of Sting stacks. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Prickly Pace: Periodically gains ATK Speed. |
| Level 5 | Spiny Fans: Launches 3 bursts of fan-shaped spines. |
| Level 7 | Prickly Pal: Periodically summons a cactus ally that fires piercing spines in 8 directions. The spines explode after a delay, dealing small AoE damage. |
