How to use Punchimp
Deploy Punchimp in the back row, behind a Tank or Guardian, so it can fire the whole lane. As a Rock Tatari it should face Lightning Zobos and avoid lanes with Grass 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. Punchimp is T1 — the line gets its full kit at Rockong, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
Tier verdict for the Punchimp line (B): Rock DPS that summons clones; Rockong is a fun boss-stage pick.
Punchimp 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 Punchimp line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Clone Caper: Wiggles its hips, dealing limited AoE damage. Can summon a clone to attack. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Hit Me!: Periodically summon an attackable clone that deals AoE damage when it disappears. |
| Level 5 | Barricade: When this Tatari or their summons take damage, there is a chance to gain Barricade: DMG Reduction. |
| Level 7 | Staff Cyclone: Spins a golden staff to deal continuous AoE damage. The staff will bounce if it hits the edge of the battlefield. |
