We are sure you are super hyped for the 12 Novice Cryptoids because we are! In this guide, we are going to briefly introduce the theme of each Cryptoids, and how you could utilize them to the fullest. Let’s get started!

Let’s have a brief look at what roles these 12 Novice Cryptoids fall into:

Tank Novice:

Kakuro (Damage reduction)

Kakuro is the damage reduction specialist. Having 4 fashion parts and these incredible abilities means Kakuro has the high HP stats and good shield value to fend off the enemies. 

Pruritus and Ollie could reduce enemy damage either by debuff or damage reduction. Irresistible and Thick and Heavy could generate additional shields for Kakuro. Although Kakuro’s abilities didn’t have impressive shield value on paper, the additional shield bonus and damage reduction provide the bulk Kakuro needed to protect its team. 

Saberba (Self-regeneration)

Don’t let Saberba’s cute look fool you, it is very bulky with excessive self-healing in its kit. Compare with Kakuro, Saberba is lacking in firepower. However, it has the ability to omit critical-hit and block piercing damage if its shield got destroyed, plus having so many food parts gave Saberba the highest HP out of all the Novice Cryptoids.

Add Sugar and Colorful Lollipop provide decent shield value and heal Saberba a considerable amount of HP, greatly increasing its longevity. Sexy Protection and Zero Crit further protect Saberba from taking unnecessary damage from the opponent.

Okona (Damage reflection)

Okona is less tanky than Kakuro and Saberba, but retaliating is its real speciality. Two of its abilities could reflect the received damage back to its enemy. After taking the first wave of damage hitting extra hard with Kiai-Ire and healing itself through Back to Life.

Damage Novice:

Devic (Critical-hitter)

Devic is a crit-focused heavy hitter, by increasing luck and critical chance with Lucky Ears and Last Supper, Devic has a much higher chance of landing a critical hit than normal Cryptoids. 

After setting up, Devic could finish off its enemies with Violent Antelope, an ability dealing 250% damage on a critical hit. 1/0 is good to help Devic win the speed tie in a fight because Devic is built to knock out its enemy before they attack.

Shelala (Back-roll killer)

Annoyed by the enemies’ backline but could not bypass their tank? Shelala is here to help with its ability to snipe off squishy backline! All of Shelala’s abilities could hit enemies’ backlines, either by bypassing the frontline or targeting idle or furthest targets. There is literally no escape from Shelala.

Nono (Combo master)

Nono combos hard and hits even harder! Two of Nono’s abilities will increase its attack by targetting enemies of a specific race. You can then follow up with Meow Meow Meow and Combo Cotton to deal explosive damage when combo together with other cards.

Tactic Novice:

Jarbin (Card slasher)

Your enemies’ attacks are as good as their ability cards, what if you could not play them out? That is Jarbin’s favourite strategy! Jarbin can first put their enemies into sleep, then use the rest of its kits to discard as many cards from the enemies as possible. 

This could create an ability vacuum in enemies’ turn, letting Jarbin’s teammate tear them apart.

Mojiku (Damage over time)

Mojiku can drown its opponents with poison, a damage over time (DOT) debuff in World of Cryptoids. After applying DOT debuff on your enemies, you can use Naughty Ears to stall their turns by stealing their energy! Also, applying Chaos with Bad News can avoid the enemy from targeting your highest priority teammate.

Vegita (Shield breaker)

Vegita can apply debuff and weaken enemies’ shields and deal additional damage to shielded targets. Naked can allow the next attack to ignore enemy shields while Fragile can cause the enemy’s shield to take double damage. 

Combine with Outwardly Strong and Popcorn Dad, you can easily pierce through shields with Vegita!

Support Novice:

Moku (Energy gain)

Moku has little to no firepower, but it has all the best energy generation in the game. It can even generate energy without consuming any energy itself. Therefore, it pairs extremely well with heavy hitters who need huge energy supplies.

Pampam (Healer)

Share and Cheers are Pampam’s bread and butter in supporting its teammate. Pampam can heal and mitigate teammates’ debuff easily with its abilities. 

Moreover, Untouchable can protect Pampam from Tech’s backline snipping ability and Cured Clover can heal off damage that managed to sneak past the tank. Making Pampam hard to be snipped down and it will be constantly healing its teammate.

Carlia (Versatile support)

Carlia is the most versatile support out of the three Novice Cryptoids. It can heal, apply debuff and give additional shields to adjacent allies. 

Carlia can apply Misfortune when struck by Tech/Spirit enemies when using Kickback, guaranteeing its enemy to miss the next attack, which is huge as Tech/Spirit is some of the strongest damage dealers in World of Cryptoids. With Snap and Last Piece, Carlia provides all-rounded support to its team.

In short, you can see every Novice Cryptoid has its niche. It is up to you to explore what they are good at and bad at, go and try out different team compositions! Just know that if your team needed a particular member, you can always count on the Novice Cryptoids!
