Best Tataris ranked for practical account progression and evolution priority. Official pages confirm the game and assets; the ranking itself is an editorial synthesis of current public tier lists and community testing, because Farlight does not publish an official strength ranking.
Clash of Critters is a Farlight / Lilith game about collecting Critters, upgrading them, evolving them, using pinball-style combat, and fighting Zobos. Store pages and the official site confirm these core mechanics and platform availability.
The tier placements below are not an official Farlight ranking. They are based on current May 2026 public evolution-priority lists, community testing, and role analysis.
We use official promotional art for page visuals. Individual Tatari portrait art is only added when it can be obtained from a reliable, stable source without guessing or mislabeling.
Current scores weigh evolution priority, wave control, boss pressure, defensive value, upgrade access, and how quickly a new account can feel the unit's strength. S+ units are the first group to consider when spending rare upgrade resources.
Start with Buddi, Dewgrub, Voltfawn, Taptail, and Punchimp if your account has them. After that, move into S-tier units such as Goonbug, Ashlarva, Droppit, Frugling, Manteeny, Maskfry, Pyropup, Zappur, and Zaplet.
Do not evolve only for damage. A balanced team with control, sustain, and one reliable carry clears more consistently than a team of fragile attackers.
Update this page after every balance patch, new banner, major event, and after enough player testing comes in from community channels.
This tier list is about which stage-one Tatari lines deserve evolution resources first. It is not just a base-form damage chart. A lower-tier Tatari can still be usable for collection, early filler, or personal preference, but the higher tiers are better first investments. Current public lists agree that the strongest first evolution targets are Buddi, Dewgrub, Punchimp, Taptail, and Voltfawn.
Buddi, Dewgrub, Punchimp, Taptail, Voltfawn.
Ashlarva, Droppit, Frugling, Goonbug, Manteeny, Maskfry, Pyropup, Zappur, Zaplet.
Cactobud, Cheerling, Frostnip, Pandaroo, Sealing, Souphog, Waddledo.
Cribbler, Gibber, Hootlet, Sackling, Shardsnail, Sparkeet, Sparkit, Shrimpyro, Tindercub.
C tier includes Blueflick, Drilleroo, Dumbopus, Flameow, Fluffle, Fumekit, Funglet, Gopher, Humbug, Kittazap, Lollama, Rubblet, Volkit, and Zapuni. D tier includes Joeyo, Lullelly, and Sinklet. These are usually collection or preference projects rather than first evolution investments.
Use the ranking as a spending guide, not a rule that deletes your favorite unit. If your account already has duplicates for a strong S-tier Tatari, it can be smarter to evolve that unit before waiting forever for an S+ line. The important question is whether the evolution helps your active team clear more content right now.
Evolution costs depend on duplicate progress and trials. Because duplicate requirements can scale with star state, avoid feeding duplicates into a random unit just to see a short-term number increase. Save them for a line you plan to evolve, especially if the unit appears in S+ or S priority.
This ranking is built from current May 2026 evolution-priority lists, community discussion, and role-based review. The page should be updated when new Tatari release, balance changes land, or player testing proves that a line performs better or worse than expected.
The safest facts on this page are names, broad game mechanics, platform information, and official artwork, because those can be checked against the official site and store listings. Tier position is inherently less official: it is a practical recommendation based on current public ranking consensus, and it should change faster than the factual database when the game receives balance updates.
