Ignitoad – Fire Guardian
In-game bio: “Ignitoad's breath is like a slow, churning current of volcanic heat, scorching the earth beneath. The flames that devour Ignitoad's enemies don't come from rage, however, but rather an attempt to keep the ambient temperature just right.”

How to use Ignitoad
Deploy Ignitoad in the front row, where it absorbs the first Zobos of each wave. As a Fire Tatari it should face Grass Zobos and avoid lanes with Water 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. Ignitoad is the final form, which is where the line's rank is judged.
Tier verdict for the Poakie line (A): Fire Guardian added Jul 15, 2026 that spits continuous Burn flames; community guides rate its T3 form well. Provisional A.
Poakie 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 Poakie line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Sizzle Bubble: Spits flames, dealing AoE damage and inflicting Burn. Sometimes spits flames non-stop, continuously dealing AoE damage. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Toadie Teleport: When moving, instantly reaches the target location and grants nearby allies DMG Boost and ATK Boost. |
| Level 5 | Croaker Chant: Shares a mesmerizing song and continuosuly inflicts stun over a large area to the front. |
| Level 7 | Oil Onsen: Sprays scalding oil over a large area to theh front, inflicting slow. After, the oil ignites to continuosly deal damage and inflict burn. A final explosion deals follow-up damage. |
Horde verdict (B): Level 5 continuous Stun over a large front area, level 7 oil that Slows then ignites — strong control, provisional rank.
