Shardsnail – Rock DPS
In-game bio: “The crystals on Shardsnail are the result of an infectious ore disease, but it's not contagious. Aside from making the shell a bit heavier, there seems to be no harm. Just think of it as a glittery makeover, Shardsnail.”

How to use Shardsnail
Deploy Shardsnail 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. Shardsnail is T1 — the line gets its full kit at Crystalsnail, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
Tier verdict for the Shardsnail line (B): Summons a Crystal Cluster that inherits its high DEF and tanks ahead of the front row; wiki notes it deals less damage than peers, so it is a utility pick.
Shardsnail 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 Shardsnail line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Crystal Cluster: Launches crystal shards. Summons a crystal cluster at the start of the battle. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Gem Cluster: Periodically summons attackable gem clusters that continuously deal damage to enemies. |
| Level 5 | Gem Burst: Uses gem clusters to deal large AoE damage to surrounding enemies. If none exist, summons one before attacking. |
| Level 7 | Gem Resonance: Launches gem pieces that deal large AoE damage on hit and inflict Crystallized. Any gem clusters within range will resonate, repeating the effect. |
