11Overview22At the very beginning of the game, players are presented with a choice that shapes their early adventure: selecting one of three starter spirits. This decision is made in Merchant Street during the opening tutorial, and the spirit you choose becomes your first companion in battle. The three options are Fire Spark (Fire), Water Blue (Water), and Meow (Grass). Each has a distinct element type and playstyle, catering to different player preferences.44There is no objectively wrong choice. All three starters are fully capable of completing the entire main story and reaching endgame content. The difference is in the speed and style of your early progression. Every starter follows the same evolution milestone levels: first evolution at level 16, second at level 36, and a super-evolution at level 100. The starters you did not pick can be obtained later through the co-op multiplayer system.66Starter Comparison88The table below provides a side-by-side breakdown of the three starters across every important category.1010CategoryFire Spark (火花)Water Blue (水蓝蓝)Meow (喵喵)ElementFireWaterGrassEvolution ChainFire Spark -> Flame Blaze (Lv16) -> Fire God (Lv36) -> Inferno War God (Lv100)Water Blue -> Bubbler (Lv16) -> Water Spirit (Lv36) -> Holy Water Guardian (Lv100)Meow -> Meow Roar (Lv16) -> Magic Cat (Lv36) -> Martial Cool Cat (Lv100)Chinese Evolutions火花 -> 焰火 -> 火神 -> 烈火战神水蓝蓝 -> 波波拉 -> 水灵 -> 圣水守护喵喵 -> 喵呜 -> 魔力猫 -> 武斗酷猫Base Species Value~407~372~350Stage 3 Species Value636~621~577-606Key StatPhysical Attack (156)Magic Defense (132)Physical Defense (109)Signature TraitIgnition (+20% Phys.Atk per Fire skill)Moisture (skill costs reduced by 1 per Water skill)Oxygen Cycle (10% max HP heal per Grass skill)StrengthsHighest burst damage, fastest clears, stacking attack boostBest shields, AoE attacks, near-zero energy cost in long fightsHighest defense, passive healing, most forgiving for beginnersWeaknessesLowest HP/defense, vulnerable to Water typesSlowest early game, weak physical defenseLowest damage output, slowest progressionRecommended Nature (PVE)Adamant (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)Modest (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)Relaxed (+HP, -Speed)Recommended Nature (PVP)Jolly (+Speed, -Sp.Atk)Bold (+Phys.Def, -Atk)Calm (+Sp.Def, -Atk)Best ForSpeedrunners, aggressive playersPVP-focused, long-term plannersBeginners, defensive/sustain playstyle1313Fire Spark (火花)1414Type: Fire1616Fire Spark is the aggressive, speed-oriented starter. It has the highest Physical Attack among all starters and exceptional Speed, making it the most efficient choice for clearing early content quickly. Its signature trait, Ignition, grants a stacking +20% Physical Attack boost every time it uses a fire-type skill. In prolonged encounters, this turns Fire Spark into an overwhelming damage dealer.1818In the early chapters, Fire Spark dominates against Grass, Ice, Bug, and Mechanical enemies, all of which appear frequently in the first several zones. Fire Spark reaches its first evolution into Flame Blaze at level 16, which is one of the earliest power spikes available. The final evolution into Fire God at level 36 cements it as a top-tier physical attacker.2020The trade-off is fragility. Fire Spark has the lowest defensive stats among the three starters. Water-type enemies can punish it severely, and its low HP pool means a few unanswered hits can lead to a knockout. Players choosing Fire Spark should learn to end fights before taking too much damage.2222Water Blue (水蓝蓝)2424Type: Water2626Water Blue is the balanced, utility-focused starter. Its signature trait, Moisture (浸润), permanently reduces the energy cost of ALL skills by 1 point each time it uses a water-type skill. After several water skill uses, Water Blue's abilities cost almost nothing to cast, enabling near-zero cost sustained casting in longer fights.2929Water Blue provides strong matchups against Fire, Ground, and Rock opponents. It also enables water-surface traversal, allowing players to access hidden areas and shortcuts across lakes and rivers before obtaining a dedicated water mount like Duck Jiji. This exploration advantage can provide meaningful early-game benefits.3131Its signature defensive tool is Tidal Wave, which creates a water shield absorbing up to 70% of max HP. Combined with Moisture's energy savings, Water Blue excels in drawn-out battles. In late-game PVP, it is widely considered the strongest starter due to its combination of shields, crowd control through Crushing Kill (which applies 80% damage reduction plus Charmed status), and infinite sustain.3333The downside is that Water Blue's early progression is noticeably slower than Fire Spark's. It lacks raw burst damage, and its stat distribution does not allow it to one-shot enemies as easily in the opening chapters.3535Meow (喵喵)3737Type: Grass3939Meow is the defensive, survivability-focused starter and the most forgiving option for new players. It has the highest HP and Physical Defense among the starters, and its signature trait, Oxygen Cycle (氧循环), restores 10% of max HP every time it uses a Grass-type skill. This passive healing makes Meow incredibly difficult to wear down through chip damage.4141Meow's key move, Parasitic Seed, drains HP from the target and transfers it to Meow, creating a double recovery loop alongside Oxygen Cycle. Combined with Fiber Shield (which reduces physical damage by 70%) and Sleep Powder (one of the strongest crowd control moves available to any starter), Meow can stall and outlast nearly any opponent.4343Grass typing provides strong matchups against Water, Ground, and Light opponents. The downsides are Meow's low offensive output and the slowest early-game progression among all three starters. Battles take longer because Meow relies on outlasting opponents rather than bursting them down. Its super-evolution into Martial Cool Cat at level 100 has approximately an 80% success rate, sometimes requiring 2 to 3 attempts.4545Which Starter Should You Choose?4747The best starter depends on your playstyle and goals:4949Choose Fire Spark if you want the fastest possible early-game progression. Fire Spark tears through the first ten chapters with minimal resistance and reaches its power spike before most players leave the southern zones. It is the consensus pick for experienced players on new accounts.Choose Water Blue if you are thinking about endgame PVP from day one. While its early chapters are slower, the Moisture trait and shield mechanics make Water Blue a dominant force in competitive battles. Competitive players who plan to invest heavily in spirit cultivation often prefer Water Blue.Choose Meow if you prefer a relaxed, low-pressure experience. Meow's passive healing and high defense mean you can afford to make mistakes, miss type matchups, or enter zones slightly under-leveled without worrying about repeated knockouts. It is the most forgiving choice for players new to creature-collection games.5252Obtaining the Other Starters5454After progressing far enough in the main story to unlock the co-op multiplayer system, players can visit friends' game worlds. Each player's world contains the starter spirits they did not choose, wandering in the wild near Merchant Street. By visiting two friends who each chose a different starter, you can capture all three. The wild versions appear at a level scaled to your current progression, so they integrate smoothly into your existing team.5656Some seasonal events and special promotions have also offered starter spirits as rewards, occasionally with unique cosmetic variants. Keep an eye on in-game announcements for these limited-time opportunities.5858Early Team Building by Starter6060Your starter choice influences which early companions pair best with it. The following recommendations cover the first 15-20 levels of the game.6262StarterRecommended Early CompanionsReasoningFire SparkDimo (Light), Duck Jiji (Water), Storm Bird (Wing)Dimo covers Dark-type threats, Duck Jiji handles Water-weak matchups Fire Spark cannot, and Storm Bird provides flying mobility plus Bug/Grass coverage.Water BlueDimo (Light), Storm Bird (Wing), Dandelion (Grass)Dimo and Storm Bird handle coverage gaps, while Dandelion provides healing support that lets Water Blue focus entirely on offense and shields.MeowDimo (Light), Fire Spark or Fire-type catch (Fire), Storm Bird (Wing)Meow lacks offensive punch, so pairing it with a Fire-type attacker compensates for slow clear speed. Dimo covers Dark threats.6464For more on team composition and advanced training, see the Spirits overview page and the Spirit Cultivation guide.
