How to use Pandaroo
Deploy Pandaroo 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. It applies crowd control, which buys time for slower damage dealers behind it. Pandaroo is T1 — the line gets its full kit at Pandagrand, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
Tier verdict for the Pandaroo line (A): Plants bamboo shoots that tick damage, Slow and grow stronger; steady lane damage and the source of the "is bamboo good" question — yes, on long lanes.
Pandaroo 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 Pandaroo line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Slow Shoots: Plants bamboo shoots that continuously deal damage and slow enemies. Bamboo shoots grow 1 time(s), with damage increasing once grown. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Panda Power: When dealing damage, there is a chance to summon a Pandaroo ally around the target, dealing small AoE damage. |
| Level 5 | Mead Toss: Throws mead to 1 ally, granting them Mead: ATK Boost and ATK Speed Boost. |
| Level 7 | Bambattle: Generates bamboo groves at the locations of all allies. Allies in groves gain DMG Boost and DMG Reduction. |
Horde verdict (A): Level 5 grants one ally ATK and ATK Speed, level 7 "Bambattle" gives every ally in a bamboo grove DMG Boost and DMG Reduction — a team-wide buff ultimate.
