Clash of Critters Beginner Guide
A first-session route for players who want to avoid wasting food, wishboxes, pinballs, and evolution value before they understand their main team.
Short Answer
New players should push the main story, claim codes, and invest in a compact team instead of upgrading every Tatari. Start with a durable frontline, one main DPS, and a support or healer. Then use the tier list and evolution page before spending rare resources.
First Route
Step 1
Claim any active codes before spending early resources.
Step 2
Push main stages until a real blocker appears instead of farming randomly.
Step 3
Build one small core team with a frontline, damage dealer, and support option.
Step 4
Check evolution requirements before spending wishboxes, food, or pinballs.
Step 5
Open mode guides only when a specific event or boss is blocking progress.
