Estimate from the game’s formulas, not from matches. How we calculate

Recommended build

Bonds only come from winning a rift arena (1 per win). Fused moves fire together, each on its own cooldown, so the group’s damage is the sum.

  1. Start with this move Wing Attack → Brave Bird Melee · evolves with Power
  2. 1st bond: fuse with move 1 Swords Dance Buff · Deals no damage: builds (physical) ATTACK while active.
  3. Bond 2: add to the group Body Slam → Giga Impact Melee · evolves with Power
  4. Bond 3: add to the group Tackle → Take Down Melee · evolves with Vigor

Group damage 8,203/s (2,951 without the buff)

Estimated damage per second against a horde, with every move evolved and the buff fully stacked. How we calculate

  • Buff in group
  • −25% damage taken (melee)

Level-up cards, in order

  1. Power up to 40
  2. Reflexes up to 10
  3. Vigor 1 is enough (unlocks the evolution)
  4. Armor up to 9
  5. Synthesis the rest

Item

Choice Band — ×1.4 damage but locks the active slot. Take it once the group is built (or always fuse into the active slot).

Focus Sash — the only protection against Arceus’ hits (1 extra life every 60 s).

Variant for after minute 30

In Arceus’ Judgment, legendaries double their HP and damage every 5 s. Slow, stun, pull and poison beat raw damage.

  1. Start with this move Wing Attack → Brave Bird
  2. 1st bond: fuse with move 1 Swords Dance
  3. Bond 2: add to the group Body Slam → Giga Impact
  4. Bond 3: add to the group String Shot → Sticky Web
  • Buff in group
  • −25% damage taken (melee)
  • Slows

For team play

In a group, buffs and healing are yours only, but poison, slow and burn on enemies are shared and turn on anyone’s Hex.

  1. Start with this move Wing Attack → Brave Bird
  2. 1st bond: fuse with move 1 Swords Dance
  3. Bond 2: add to the group Body Slam → Giga Impact
  4. Bond 3: add to the group String Shot → Sticky Web
  • Buff in group
  • −25% damage taken (melee)
  • Slows
