Petrirex + Shikitsune

Playing Petrirex + Shikitsune

These suggestions use build 26170127 abilities. Adapt them to your shop and team; the BatoForge observations below do not reveal purchase order, forms, levels or game version.

Get the core units

• Older Jinto shop listings show Rare Petrirex ($40) and Shikitsune ($35): $75 before rerolls, upgrades and other teammates. Availability may differ in your version.
• For Ratacomb, evolve Pipskull by having it experience three Knockouts. Direct Ratacomb purchase is not listed.

Build the team in stages

1. Before both support roles are ready

   Keep the current damage team until revival is ready. An opening Knockout is useful only with a reward or evolution goal worth losing the recipient's casts.

2. When revival is available

   Put the intended Knockout recipients next to Petrirex and keep Shikitsune outside those slots. Check that revived allies have time to cast. Upgrade Petrirex for more permanent Shield per Knockout.

3. When repeated Knockouts work

   Upgrade the reward your team needs: Ratacomb's permanent Multicast, Emburn's permanent Burn or Cawnushi's permanent Damage. Shikitsune levels add more battle speed to revived allies. Preserve trained recipients when their accumulated growth still helps.

What each level adds

Ability values at levels 1–4. The observed teams' levels are unknown.

When to pause or change the plan

• The cycle stops if the reviver is Knocked Out or Protect blocks the intended recipient's Knockout.
• A revived ally needs time to cast before another Knockout. Keep enough damage alongside the Shield growth to finish the battle.
• Watch the battle to check the order of revival and repeated Knockouts. Cooldown numbers alone cannot show that order or guarantee an endless cycle.

Edit and review your team

1. Check cast timing.

   Petrirex in the calculator → Set your form, level and Cooldown Speed for Petrirex's 5.5-second base timer. Check which recipients will be available when it casts.

   Shikitsune in the calculator → Check Shikitsune's 3-second base timer separately. Watch a battle for the Knockout and revival order; the calculator does not simulate them.

   Set your form, level and Cooldown Speed in the calculator. Links start at Normal, level 1 and +0% speed; results estimate the cooldown timer.

2. Edit positions, then review ability conditions.

   Edit this team in Team Builder → Arrange the six slots, then check that each ability reaches the right ally and meets its type and trigger conditions.

   Opens a team example from this period. Its label shows whether the positions were observed, estimated, or chosen only to display the units. Set the actual forms and levels; Team Builder starts at Normal, level 1. It shows stats and which slots an ability reaches. Check type restrictions yourself; it does not simulate battles, Trinkets or permanent growth.

3. Compare with the current observations.

   See the full teams and position samples below →

   Compare the sample sizes and dates below. These repeated observations favor teams that survive longer, and the observed teams may differ from the wider player population. They do not prove which build counters another or which upgrade order is best.
