How to read captured values

Values were captured from creator footage at different levels, skill stages and unknown trait states. A level 50 value is not comparable with a base-form value; the "Captured state" column tells you which one you are looking at.

A blank cell means the value was not captured, not that the unit has none. Do not add trait bonuses to these numbers unless the video states the trait.

What each role solves

  • Wave clear: kills lanes of small enemies; Alien Jake and Jake Lich change how a lane behaves.
  • Boss burst: removes one high-HP target; Marceline Beast is the documented pick.
  • Control: groups or stuns enemies so area damage lands; Alien Jake and Jake Lich.
  • Summon support: adds bodies and distractions; King BMO and Lemongrab.

A unit with a high single hit is not automatically a wave-clear pick, and a wave-clear unit is not automatically a boss killer.

What to do next

Pick the role your team is missing and open the tier list for an investment order. If the unit needs an evolution, open the evolution guide and read the recipe before spending.
