Best Fire Tatari in Clash of Critters: All 47 Ranked

Fire evolution lines by tier

Tier	Line	Role	Why
S	Pyropup → Pyrohound → Hellhound → Pyrodaemon	Guardian	Strongest Fire frontline: fire pillars at T1 become Hellhound's massive AoE with Weaken and Pyrodaemon's Aura: Fire. Wiki strategy rates it above Ashlarva as a tank; with Sparkit behind it a Fire lane clears Grass waves easily.
A	Blueflick → Ignisnap → Azurion → Newflamander	DPS	"A generic Fire DPS — use it against Grass Zobos"; Newflamander (T4) adds Aura: Fire. Strong early project (clashcritters rates it S among starters), fades into a solid A once you have Shrimpyro or Sparkit.
A	Poakie → Sizzribb → Lickflicker → Ignitoad	Guardian	Fire Guardian added Jul 15, 2026 that spits continuous Burn flames; community guides rate its T3 form well. Provisional A.
A	Shrimpyro → Pyroprawn → Pyroclobster → Pyroviathan	DPS	Fast punches that Burn and deal bonus damage to Burning targets (fixed in the Jul 15 patch); Pyroviathan carries Aura: Fire. The clean Fire DPS pick.
A	Sparkit → Flametail → Flarevix → Phantifox	DPS	Back-row fireballs that bloom on impact; Phantifox (T4) boosts ATK for all allies with Aura: Fire. Wiki names Sparkit as the DPS to pair with Pyropup and Ashlarva.
A	Tindercub → Kitjitsu → Taiglow → Saberheart	Specialist	Fire Specialist that dashes, Burns, heals on hit and retreats when in Danger; Saberheart (T4) arrived Jul 29, 2026. Survives lanes most DPS die in.
B	Ashlarva → Firecoil → Charflutter → Chrysolaria	Healer	Fire Healer/tank hybrid: ring of flames that heals and boosts ATK; outclassed as a pure tank by Pyropup but the natural partner for a Fire lane. Dojo Fire teams use it constantly.
B	Blowfin → Puffbelly → Chefugu → Pyromaki	Tank	Fire Tank that counterattacks melee hits and cooks to heal; Pyromaki is a sturdy but low-damage wall.
B	Flameow → Nekoflare → Silversear	DPS	Bouncing-jewel Fire DPS; its main job is unlocking the Paw Pals bond for Kittazap. Run them together or skip it.
B	Fumekit → Sulfunk → Magmusk → Blastniff	DPS	Fire DPS with spreading, igniting fumes; Blastniff (T4) added Aug 12, 2026 — provisional B until more data.
B	Souphog → Grillhog → Hothog → Searhog	Healer	Fire Healer that spends HP for damage and grants BBQ Shields; three stages.
C	Cindermunk → Embertail	DPS	Pinecone mines that can hit every lane from the centre; low HP, best as centre support early on.
C	Sparkrow → Scorchwing	DPS	Five-fireball bursts; "good early game DPS to counter Grass" until a Purple Fire DPS arrives.

Where Fire Tatari matter most

Chapters: bring Fire lanes against Grass Zobos and bosses (see the Zobo codex for each boss's element) and never against Water.
Fire Badge Dojo: a 5v5 ladder of 30 stages; the stage 1-10, 2-10 and 3-10 masters award badges that buff every Fire Tatari. Full opponent teams on the Fire Dojo page.
Horde Invasion: Fire counters the Grass bosses in the 35-wave rotation — see the Horde tier list.
Evolution trials: T3 trials are element-specific (for example Grass lines must shoot 20,000 pinballs, Rock lines use 5,000 Energy Drinks in Goldrush) — see the evolution guide.
