Clash of Critters Beginner Guide

This beginner guide is for players starting Clash of Critters during the launch window. The main mistake to avoid is spreading early resources across too many Tataris before you know which ones will stay on your team.

First 10 minutes

Step	What to do	Why it matters
1	Redeem `hellotatari` and `goonbug`	Free launch resources speed up the first account build.
2	Push the tutorial and early stages	Unlocks more systems and gives a better sense of combat.
3	Check your first Tataris	Decide which 2–3 are worth feeding.
4	Avoid random upgrades	Early Candy should support your active battle team.
5	Review the tier list	Do not spend rare resources before checking evolution priority.

First-day priorities

Your first-day goal is not to collect everything. Your goal is to unlock systems, stabilize a core team, and learn which resources are scarce.

Focus on:

Clearing stages until your team gets stuck.
Feeding only the Tataris you use.
Testing new Tataris before evolving them.
Checking events and reward menus.
Saving rare evolution items until you understand the requirement.

Build a small core team

A beginner team should have a simple structure:

Slot	Purpose
Main damage Tatari	The unit you feed first and rely on for stage clearing.
Secondary damage Tatari	Helps when the first unit cannot cover every enemy or element.
Utility or durable Tatari	Adds stability when waves become harder.
Flexible slot	Swap based on elements, trials, or event requirements.

Do not force a full team of top-tier Tataris immediately. A lower-tier Tatari that is upgraded and available may clear more content than a top-tier Tatari you cannot evolve yet.

Resource priority

Resource	Best early use
Candy	Feed your active Tataris, especially S+ / S lines.
Lunchbox	Save for a Tatari you plan to keep using.
Pinballs	Spend only when you understand the current reward pool.
Tatari Capsules	Use to expand your roster and find better evolution lines.
Wishboxes	Treat as scarce. Do not spend them casually.

Common beginner mistakes

Mistake	Better approach
Feeding every cute Tatari	Pick a small battle core first.
Evolving too early	Check whether the line is worth duplicates and trials.
Ignoring codes	Codes are the easiest launch-window boost.
Spending resources before testing	Try the Tatari in battle before heavy investment.
Forgetting daily systems	Check events, trials, and camp rewards before logging off.

First-week plan

Day	Focus
1	Redeem codes, unlock systems, build a temporary core team.
2	Start comparing Tataris and identify your best evolution line.
3	Push content until you learn your first bottleneck.
4	Save resources for confirmed high-priority lines.
5	Improve camp and repeatable rewards.
6	Re-check tier list updates and community findings.
7	Commit to your main evolution target.
