How to use Cribbler

Deploy Cribbler 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. Cribbler is T1 — the line gets its full kit at Cribking, so treat this form as a stepping stone.

Tier verdict for the Cribbler line (B): Water Guardian with Shredded and ATK Boost when healed; Cribking carries Aura: Water. Wants a healer behind it.

Cribbler 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 Cribbler line (only the base skill differs per form).

Base	Claw Swing: Swings its claw, dealing AoE damage.
Level 3	Claw-Covery: Periodically recovers HP. Surplus healing is converted into a shield.
Level 5	Crab Knock: Attacks have a chance to deal large AoE damage and inflict Knockback.
Level 7	Crab Claw: Fires clawed attacks that continuously deal AoE damage to the upper right toward the edge of the map.
