How to use Frugling
Deploy Frugling in the back row, behind a Tank or Guardian, so it can fire the whole lane. 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 skill hits an area, so it likes lanes where Zobos bunch up. Frugling is T1 — the line gets its full kit at Frugantuan, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
Tier verdict for the Frugling line (S): The go-to Grass DPS: exploding fruit clears clusters from the back row, and the T4 Frugantuan carries Aura: Grass. Pocket Gamer pairs a fully upgraded Frugling with Cheerling at the top of its list.
Frugling 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 Frugling line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Puffruit Pop: Launches a prickly pink fruit that occasionally explodes, dealing AoE damage. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Bomb Chain: Attacks have a chance to fire an extra exploding fruit that deals AoE damage. |
| Level 5 | Quick Slice: Attacks have a chance to fire extra regular fruits, which continuously deals large AoE damage on hit. |
| Level 7 | Fruit Rain: Rains down a torrent of fruits toward the front, dealing AoE damage. |
Horde verdict (S): Level 7 "Fruit Rain" drops a torrent of exploding fruit across the front — one of the best wave-clear ultimates in the mode; Pocket Gamer's top pair with Cheerling.
