How to use Cheerling

Deploy Cheerling in the middle or back row next to the allies it supports — buffs and heals only reach neighbours. As a Lightning Tatari it should face Water Zobos and avoid lanes with Rock 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. Its support effect only reaches nearby allies, so place the Tatari you want buffed right next to it. Cheerling is T1 — the line gets its full kit at Cheerstella, so treat this form as a stepping stone.

Tier verdict for the Cheerling line (S): The official Lightning guide calls it "the meta-defining Tatari for nearly every game mode": AoE damage plus ATK/DEF buffs and healing, and from Cheerlet an AoE Invincibility trigger when allies first drop low. Only limitation is positioning — it must stand next to the Tatari it buffs.

Cheerling 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 Cheerling line (only the base skill differs per form).

Base	Bunny Dance: Dances continuously, dealing AoE damage while healing nearby allies and granting them Support - ATK Boost and DEF Boost
Level 3	Rhythmic Pierce: Periodically fires piercing sound waves that damage enemies and heal allies.
Level 5	Just Dance: Periodically grants invincibility to nearby allies.
Level 7	Zap Chord: Periodically launches 3 zap waves, dealing large AoE damage with a chance to inflict Slow, Bind, or Stun.

Horde verdict (S): Official guide: "an essential support for Horde Invasion" — respectable damage, ATK/DEF buffs, and at Horde skill level 5 "Just Dance" periodically grants nearby allies Invincibility; level 7 adds three zap waves with Slow/Bind/Stun. Highly recommended.
