How to use Buddi
Deploy Buddi in the middle or back row next to the allies it supports — buffs and heals only reach neighbours. As a Grass Tatari it should face Rock Zobos and avoid lanes with Fire 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. Buddi is T1 — the line gets its full kit at Heliabloom, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
Tier verdict for the Buddi line (A): Grass Healer that heals and grants ATK (later ATK & DEF) boosts while still shooting seeds; Pocket Gamer A tier. Your first real sustain line.
Buddi 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 Buddi line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Bright Hug: Shines down sunlight, healing allies and granting them Sunshine - ATK Boost. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Warm Aura: Activates an AoE buff that continuously grants a Shield to allies in range. |
| Level 5 | Tint Shades: Attacks have a chance to shine down strange sunlight, damaging enemies within range and inflicting Stun. |
| Level 7 | Full Sun: Shines down sunlight across the entire battlefield, inflicting Stun while granting allies Sunshine: ATK Boost. |
Horde verdict (A): Level 7 "Full Sun" stuns the entire battlefield while boosting ally ATK; healer that doubles as a panic button.
