How to use Lickflicker
Deploy Lickflicker 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. Lickflicker is T3 — the line gets its full kit at Ignitoad, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
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.
