Batomon Showdown Trainer Tier List

You lock a trainer before the first shop in Batomon Showdown, and you keep that lock for the run. This tier list ranks the 17-catalog trainers by how often they help a random player reach 10 wins without already knowing a combo. High-skill spikes sit lower for beginners even if they are weapons in Master. For ability text, use the trainer guide. For “what should I click on day one,” use beginner trainers.

S — print gold or print a plan

Youngster — Three free rerolls every day (catalog). Shop UI also shows a large max-HP bonus on Youngster M. Either way you get to search for copies. That is the best beginner sentence in the game.

Bug Catcher — First Bug each round is free. If the shop is Bug-dense (Bumblebolt, Formiqueen, Guardiant, Brawlmantis), you are playing with extra gold forever. Even if it is not, a free body is a free body.

Shopkeeper — Items one rarity higher and 15 percent cheaper. Membership Card adding an extra item use turns this into a Berroon/Craghorn enabler. Weaker if you never buy items.

Swim Coach — A random Water monster each day. Unique. Feeds Plunderbird / Torrantler / Sirenade without asking you to roll them. You still have to position Water adjacency.

A — real engines, real requirements

Chef — Single-typed units gain Fire; Fire units get +2 Burn. Requires you to actually play Fire. Pairs with Redhead’s On Victory +2 Burn permanently if you later copy her via Masked Man.

Chemist — Toxic units +1 Poison, and that bonus grows whenever any monster levels up. Wants long fights and merge XP. Excellent if you like combat status rules. Poor if you reroll away every Toxic name.

Monster Ranger — Start with an Uncommon, copy it every two days. S if the gift is a merge seed, C if you ignore it. Unique.

Redhead — On Victory, Fire units gain +2 Burn permanently. A payoff trainer, not a search trainer. Take with Chef or a Fire-heavy shop, not as a first-ever pick.

Egg Breeder — Purple Egg hatches Super Rare in 4 days. A timed A. Play a real board while you wait.

B — flexible or delayed

Masked Man — Every 4 days, choose a trainer and gain their ability. Not offered by Mysterious Mask. Incredibly strong if you copy Youngster or Shopkeeper first and Gamer later. Incredibly dead if you copy Mad Scientist on 5 lives.

Treasure Hunter, Musician, Lucky Girl, ??? — Present in the 17-trainer catalog. We do not invent ability text for cards we have not verified in the current build. If they appear, read the card in the opening UI (the same three-card screen that shows Egg Breeder, Masked Man, and Gamer with full sentences). Then play the sentence, not a rumor.

C — win more, die more

Gamer — Mythical on day 9. You must still be alive. Beginners are not. See mythical builds.

Mad Scientist — Day 7 board becomes random level-1 Legendaries. High ceiling, high “I merged the wrong team” rate. Brawlmantis multicast lines exist; they are not beginner lines.

Rich Lady — Reworked away from infinite-roll Common forcing. Do not use April VODs. Until you reread her live card, treat her as a B at best, not as Youngster.

How to pick among three cards

Ask four questions, in order:

1. Does this trainer give me extra shops (rerolls, free units, daily gifts)? Prefer yes.
2. Does the payoff arrive before day 5, when losses cost 3 lives? Prefer yes. See the 10-win guide.
3. Does it agree with a core I already understand (Bug, Fire, Toxic, Water, items)? Prefer yes. See comps.
4. Am I locking this because the art is cool? Prefer no.

If all three offers fail question 1, take the earliest payoff. A day-4 egg beats a day-9 Mythical when you still brick at 6 wins. After the pick, the Batomon tier list is filtered through that trainer. Bug Catcher promotes Bugs. Chemist promotes Toxic. Shopkeeper promotes items and therefore Craghorn. The letter on this page is the default. Your lock is the modifier.

Ranked does not change the opening rule. It only changes what happens after 10 Casual trophies. Stars and MMR are on ranks. The trainer you can execute is higher tier than the trainer a 4,800 MMR account executed on stream.
