Evolution is one of the most important progression systems in Clash of Critters. The game promotes Tier 4 evolutions and rare Glitter forms, so your early choices can affect long-term progress.
How evolution works
Early public information suggests Tatari evolution uses a mix of duplicate copies and evolution trials. Duplicates are used to push a Tatari into later stages, while trial requirements appear as you progress further.
Known early detail:
| Evolution point | Requirement pattern |
|---|---|
| Early evolution | Duplicate copies of the same Tatari. |
| Later evolution | Trials or special tasks. |
| Higher progression | More duplicates or rarer resources may be required depending on star level. |
One reported example says a silver-star level 12 Tatari may need five duplicates for evolution. Treat exact counts as version-sensitive and verify inside the current game build before publishing final numbers.
Which Tatari should you evolve first?
Prioritize Tataris that meet at least two of these conditions:
| Condition | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| S+ or S tier | Safer long-term investment. |
| You have duplicates | Evolution is more realistic. |
| It clears your current stage wall | Practical value beats theory. |
| It covers an element or role you lack | Helps with team flexibility. |
| You enjoy using it | You are more likely to keep investing. |
Evolution priority table
| Priority | Evolve first if available |
|---|---|
| 1 | Buddi, Dewgrub, Punchimp, Taptail, Voltfawn |
| 2 | Ashlarva, Droppit, Frugling, Goonbug, Manteeny, Maskfry, Pyropup, Zappur, Zaplet |
| 3 | Cactobud, Cheerling, Frostnip, Pandaroo, Sealing, Souphog, Waddledo |
| 4 | B-tier and lower Tataris only if you have duplicates and a clear need |
Should you evolve your favorite Tatari?
Yes, but separate collection goals from progression goals. If your favorite Tatari is lower-tier, use it for fun, but do not spend your rarest evolution items until your main battle team is stable.
Evolution mistakes to avoid
| Mistake | Why it hurts |
|---|---|
| Evolving the first Tatari you pull | You may later pull a better line and lack resources. |
| Ignoring duplicates | A high-tier Tatari without duplicates may progress slowly. |
| Spending Wishboxes too early | Wishboxes are likely bottleneck resources. |
| Building too many lines | Spreads Candy, duplicates, and trials too thin. |
| Forgetting trial attempts | Later evolution may depend on repeatable trial content. |
