How to use Turtuff
Deploy Turtuff in the front row, where it absorbs the first Zobos of each wave. 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 support effect only reaches nearby allies, so place the Tatari you want buffed right next to it. Turtuff is T2 — the line gets its full kit at Terraton, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
Tier verdict for the Gibber line (A): Rock Guardian whose spinning shell pierces and, in Horde Invasion, shields allies; longer single-lane reach than Rubblet. Terraton carries Aura: Rock.
Gibber 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 Gibber line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Spike Spiral: Launches a piercing spinning shell. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Quake: Periodically triggers an earthquake, dealing wide-range AoE damage. |
| Level 5 | Shell Bounce: Launches a shell that bounces between allies, granting each a Shell Shield and dealing damage to enemies. |
| Level 7 | Shell Burst: Launches piercing spinning shells in 8 directions. |
Horde verdict (A): Level 5 shell bounces between allies granting each a Shell Shield; level 7 fires piercing shells in 8 directions. Rock answer to the Lightning bosses (waves 6, 9, 15, 18, 26, 30).
