How to use Boldclaw
Deploy Boldclaw in the front row, where it absorbs the first Zobos of each wave. As a Water Tatari it should face Fire Zobos and avoid lanes with Lightning Zobos — the game shows a green thumb when the match-up is right. Its skill hits an area, so it likes lanes where Zobos bunch up. It applies crowd control, which buys time for slower damage dealers behind it. Boldclaw is the final form, which is where the line's rank is judged.
Tier verdict for the Shellshy line (C): "Good early game tank", pairs with Droppit's slows; replace once Waddledo or Cribbler arrives.
Shellshy 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 Shellshy line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Bubble Wave: Fires a wave of bubbles, dealing AoE damage. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Bubble Line: Attacks have a chance to fire and extra Bubble Wave, dealing AoE damage. |
| Level 5 | Bubble Shield: Periodically heals itself. Surplus healing is converted into a Shield. |
| Level 7 | Super Bubble: Launches super bubbles, dealing wide-range AoE damage and inflicting Slow. |
