Introduction
Candy is one of the easiest resources to waste because every new Tatari feels like a possible project. Efficient Candy spending starts with the active board, not the full collection. If a Tatari does not enter a real lane, fix a mode problem, or support an evolution path you can actually use, Candy can wait.
Use this guide with Tatari progression, Pinball reward priority, and the codes page.
Quick Answer
Spend Candy in this order:
- Active 15-slot team members.
- A frontline, healer, support, or damage unit that fixes a named blocker.
- A Tatari with realistic duplicates and evolution value.
- Mode-specific projects after the core board is stable.
- Collection projects last.
Recommended Strategy
Before spending, write one sentence: "This Candy helps because..." If the answer is "it looks strong" or "the tier list said so," wait. A better answer names a lane, mode, or role: "this gives my Water lane enough damage" or "this healer keeps Horde waves stable."
Check codes and events first. Free rewards can add Candy, Pinballs, Capsules, Lunchboxes, or even a Tatari. Spending before claims can lock you into yesterday's plan.
Best Options
The safest Candy targets are Tatari you already deploy. After that, prioritize roles your board lacks: one durable first-contact option, one main damage plan, one sustain or support piece, and one element you cannot currently answer. If a Tatari has a good evolution line but no immediate team slot, feed slowly or wait.
For F2P accounts, avoid deep spending on temporary stopgaps. Early units can be correct, but they should not consume every rare resource after they stop clearing lanes.
Beginner Mistakes
Players often feed the newest pull, overbuild one element, ignore support, or spend Candy before checking codes. Another common mistake is spreading Candy across ten half-built Tatari. A focused board clears more than a collection of unfinished projects.
FAQ
Should I save all Candy?
No. Spend when the upgrade changes a real result. Hoarding forever also slows progress.
Is Candy better on rare Tatari?
Not always. Role fit and active use matter more than rarity alone.
What should I do after a big Pinball session?
Sort results into "use now," "future line," and "collection." Spend Candy only on the first group unless a duplicate makes a future line realistic.
