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.
- Start with this move Magnitude → Drill Run Quake · evolves with Power
- 1st bond: fuse with move 1 Swords Dance Buff · Deals no damage: builds (physical) ATTACK while active.
- Bond 2: add to the group Body Slam → Giga Impact Melee · evolves with Power
- Bond 3: add to the group Tackle → Take Down Melee · evolves with Vigor
Group damage 6,587/s (2,369 without the buff)
Estimated damage per second against a horde, with every move evolved and the buff fully stacked. How we calculate
Level-up cards, in order
- Power up to 40
- Reflexes up to 10
- Vigor 1 is enough (unlocks the evolution)
- Sprint up to 4
- Armor up to 9
- 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.
- Start with this move Magnitude → Drill Run

- Bond 2: add to the group Body Slam → Giga Impact
- Bond 3: add to the group Sand Tomb → High Horsepower
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.
- Start with this move Magnitude → Drill Run
- 1st bond: fuse with move 1 Swords Dance
- Bond 2: add to the group Body Slam → Giga Impact
- Bond 3: add to the group Sand Tomb → High Horsepower
