Ability List (All 17)

Charge

0 Energy • utility
S Tier

Generates 1 Energy for free. The foundation of every battle — always Charge to build up your resource pool before committing to big moves.

💡 Tip: Never spend your last Energy. Always Charge when at 0-1 Energy to keep options open.

Heal

2 Energy • heal
A Tier

Restores your Brainrot's health for 2 Energy. Crucial in long battles and against bosses with sustained damage output.

💡 Tip: Heal proactively when above 40% HP. Healing below 40% in a boss fight may not save you in time.

Shield

2 Energy • defense
S Tier

Blocks all incoming damage for one round. Essential for boss fights and PvP. Negates Bomb entirely if timed correctly.

💡 Tip: Shield BEFORE enemy Bomb attacks, not after. Watch boss patterns and shield on the turn they charge their heavy hit.

Splash

2 Energy • attack
B Tier

Light area splash damage for 2 Energy. Cheap chip damage that hits multiple targets — useful for weakening packs before a catch.

💡 Tip: Pair Splash with a zone-correct Rot Box tier to soften rare spawns without KOing them.

Feathers

2 Energy • attack
B Tier

A feather tornado that hits targets along a line. Cheap ranged option good for opening fights and poking bosses.

💡 Tip: Line up multiple enemies in a row to get full value from the tornado hitbox.

Shoot

2 Energy • attack
A Tier

A direct gun shot at the enemy Brainrot for 2 Energy. Fast, cheap single-target damage that fits any rotation.

💡 Tip: Use Shoot to finish off low-HP wilds when you want to conserve Energy for the catch throw.

Mr Beast

3 Energy • attack
B Tier

Summons a cash-shower attack that rains damage on the target for 3 Energy. Fun mid-cost nuke with decent burst.

💡 Tip: Mr Beast is strongest in PvE where the cash-shower windup is easy to time between enemy turns.

Sword

3 Energy • attack
A Tier

A solid melee swing for 3 Energy. Reliable single-target damage with a clean hitbox and no downside.

💡 Tip: Sword is the safe mid-cost pick — no windup, no risk. Dump spare Energy into it.

Zap

3 Energy • attack
A Tier

A lightning strike on the target for 3 Energy. Instant hit with solid burst, great for boss safe-window attacks.

💡 Tip: Zap arrives instantly — use it on the same turn a boss leaves itself open.

Wheel Attack

3 Energy • attack
B Tier

Spinning tire impact damage for 3 Energy. Short-range heavy hit that pushes the enemy back on impact.

💡 Tip: Wheel Attack trades reach for damage — get close before committing the Energy.

Fry

3 Energy • attack
B Tier

A frying-pan smash for 3 Energy. Comedic but effective mid-cost melee damage.

💡 Tip: Fry is a straight damage swap for Sword — pick whichever fits your brainrot's theme.

Bite

3 Energy • attack
B Tier

Giant teeth bite for 3 Energy. Mid-cost melee hit that can flinch weaker wilds.

💡 Tip: Use Bite against low-tier wilds to score flinches and stall their next action.

Bomb

4 Energy • attack
A Tier

Heavy explosive burst for 4 Energy. Devastating when it lands, but leaves you vulnerable if it misses the timing.

💡 Tip: Only use Bomb when the enemy is NOT about to attack. It leaves you vulnerable without Energy for Shield.

Firework

4 Energy • attack
B Tier

A rocket explosion on hit for 4 Energy. Big single-hit burst with a flashy payout.

💡 Tip: Firework is a cheaper-feeling Bomb — use it when you want burst but need to keep 1-2 Energy in reserve.

Fire Blast

4 Energy • attack
A Tier

A stream of fire that deals burn damage over time for 4 Energy. Great sustained pressure on bosses.

💡 Tip: Stack Fire Blast burn with Heal uptime — the DoT out-damages flat nukes in long fights.

Grow a Garden

5 Energy • attack
S Tier

Drains enemy HP and heals you at the same time for 5 Energy. The elite mid-game find — offense and recovery in one move.

💡 Tip: Unleash Grow a Garden when you need both damage and sustain — it turns a losing trade into a winning one.

Whirlpool

6 Energy • attack
S Tier

A massive water tornado launch for 6 Energy. The most expensive ability in the game with devastating single-hit damage.

💡 Tip: Whirlpool is a finisher, not a starter. Build to 6 Energy with Charge, then end the fight in one launch.

Starter Move Sets

Recommended

Boneca Ambalabu

ShieldBomb

Balanced. Shield for defense, Bomb for offense. The most forgiving starter for new players.

S Tier
Recommended

Triple T Sahur

ShieldBomb

Same strategic core as Boneca but with a slightly more aggressive stat spread. Good for experienced players.

S Tier

Fluri Flura

ChargeHeal

Defensive/support. Slower start but scales well in late-game with team support. Not recommended for beginners.

B Tier

Battle Type Strategies

PvE (vs Wild Brainrots)
Offense-firstBomb + Charge

Charge twice → Bomb. Wild Brainrots have predictable patterns. Shield only against Rare/Epic encounters.

PvE (vs Bosses)
SurvivalShield + Heal + Grow a Garden

Charge → Shield pattern. Observe boss rotation for 2-3 turns. Heal proactively. Only attack during safe windows.

PvP (vs Players)
Mind GamesShield + Bomb + Heal

Mix up patterns. Fake Charging into Bomb catches opponents off guard. Shield baiting is meta.
