TL;DR
- S-tier characters (Dragon Cannelloni, Strawberry Elephant, Garama and Madundung, Ketchuru and Masturu) are the engines you want — steal them when you can.
- A-tier like Los Tacoritas and Celularcini Viciosini are cheap support that scale with mutations; use them to pad income without bleeding cash.
- B-tier and below are fine for early progression; ditch most D+ characters once you can steal or afford an S/A slot.
- Keep open collection slots for stealing, prioritize mutation compatibility (Speed Boost, Income Multiplier, Lucky Block) over flashy rarity.
What You Need to Know First
Before you start hunting heirs to other players' wallets, get these basics sorted. Stealing wins you value; spending blindly loses you time.
Requirements:
| Item | Effect | Where to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Collection Slot (empty) | Allows quick steals without dismantling your roster | Inventory UI → Manage Collections |
| S-tier target (Dragon Cannelloni, Strawberry Elephant, Garama and Madundung, Ketchuru and Masturu) | High income per second; main profit engines | Steal from players or buy from shop if you have the caps |
| Mutation compatibility (Speed Boost, Income Multiplier, Lucky Block) | Multiplies income or unlocks spikes when paired with certain characters | Mutation chest drops / event rewards |
| Starting capital ($1B+) | Lets you buy A-tier supports and keep flexibility | In-game earnings / early steals |
Recommended starting targets and minimums:
| Item | Effect | Where to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Cannelloni | $100M/s for $100B — best cost-to-income | Steal from players; rare shop pulls |
| Strawberry Elephant | $250M/s for $500B — late-game wealth printer | OG pulls or steals |
| Garama and Madundung | $50M/s for $10B — cheap S-tier starter | Steal / shop |
| Ketchuru and Masturu | $42.5M/s for $7.5B — efficient S-tier option | Steal / shop |
If you’re missing mutation slots or collection slots, prioritize opening one empty slot and getting Garama and Madundung or Ketchuru and Masturu by steal. They’re cheap S-tier anchors that let you scale quickly.
Step-by-Step Guide
This is a practical route: steal smart, buy cheap supports, then scale with mutations.
-
Prioritize one S-tier anchor
- If you can steal Dragon Cannelloni, do it. It’s $100B for $100M/s — absurdly efficient. If not, aim for Garama and Madundung ($10B, $50M/s) or Ketchuru and Masturu ($7.5B, $42.5M/s) to start rolling income.
-
Fill support with A-tier value picks
Item Effect Where to Get Los Tacoritas $32M/s for $4B — versatile and mutation-friendly Steal / shop Los Hotspositos $25M/s (cost slightly higher than counterparts) Shop / steals La Extinct Grande Combinasion $25M/s — reliable support Shop / steals Celularcini Viciosini Spikes with Lucky Block mutations Event drops / shop - Buy A-tier only if stealing is out of range. Los Tacoritas is the best value here.
-
Keep B-tier for steady early growth
Item Effect Where to Get La Grande Combinassion $10M/s for $1B — entry Secret Shop Spaghetti Tualetti $6M/s for $750M — Lucky Block synergy Shop / steals - Use these to bridge into your first S/A mix. Don’t upgrade D-tier with caps you plan to spend on steals.
-
Use mutation slots intelligently
- Speed Boost paired with Dragon Cannelloni or Los Tacoritas accelerates income production during steal windows.
- Income Multiplier stacks are your late-game surgery: adding them to Strawberry Elephant or Dragon Cannelloni multiplies returns far more than buying another mid-tier unit.
-
Maintain stealing flexibility
- Always leave at least one collection slot empty if you can. The best returns come from stealing S-tier for free or near-free. Buying Strawberry Elephant ($500B, $250M/s) is a last-resort play unless you already control high multipliers.
-
Trim dead weight regularly
Item Effect Where to Get Sigma Girl $1.8K/s for $325K — early game stepping stone Early pulls Guerriro Digitale $550K/s for $120M — poor long-term value Early pulls - Replace obsolete C/D-tier units as soon as stealing opportunities or cheap A-tier buys appear.
Endgame checklist:
| Item | Effect | Where to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Cannelloni | 1:1000 cost-to-income — keep one and protect it | Steal / shop |
| Strawberry Elephant | Best late-game single unit income | Steal / shop |
| Mutation stacks | Multiply returns beyond adding more middling characters | Events / chests |
Follow this order: secure one S-tier anchor, add A-tier supports that match mutation synergies, then use steals to upgrade to multiple S-tier units. If it sounds like math, that’s because it is: income-to-cost ratio beats flash every time.
Pro Tips
- Steal before you buy: an S-tier steal pays for multiple A-tier purchases. If you can swipe Dragon Cannelloni, it removes most of the late-game grind.
- Match Celularcini Viciosini with Lucky Block — it jumps tiers when that mutation procs. Don’t treat Celularcini like a static income unit; it’s a spike engine.
- Los Tacoritas is a mutational Swiss army knife. If you’re unsure which A-tier to take, Los Tacoritas usually outperforms the rest across setups.
- Keep one empty slot per major push window. You’ll miss fewer steals and avoid awkward dismantles when a high-value target appears.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Buying Strawberry Elephant early because of the $250M/s number without mutation stacks — huge sunk cost and slow ROI if you don’t have multipliers.
- Treating all Secret rarity as equal — Garama and Madundung or Ketchuru and Masturu often outperform expensive rarities if paired correctly with mutations.
- Filling every slot with mid-tier characters and leaving no empty slot for steals. Stealing is the cheapest path to S-tier density.
