The strength of your Tatari army depends on careful management of their stars, evolution, and feeding. While they may appear harmless, with enough love and upgrade materials, they transform into fierce fighters.
Tatari Evolution and Star Systems
Evolving your Tataris is a core progression mechanic in Clash of Critters. This process involves obtaining duplicates of a Tatari to increase its star level, which then unlocks higher evolution stages. Tataris have specific star requirements and trials to complete before they can evolve into their second and third forms.
Once a Tatari reaches Star Level 78, it can no longer be upgraded, though you may still obtain duplicates. Visually, there's no difference beyond 78 stars.
Current Star Level Visuals (as of 12/17/2025)
| Star Level Range | Visual Description | Dupes Needed Per Star |
|---|---|---|
| 1-6 | Bronze Star | 1-2=1 each, 3-4=3 each, 5-6=5 each |
| 7-12 | Silver Star | 5 |
| ... | ... | ... |
Evolution Stages Overview
| Rarity | Evolution Stages | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Common (Blue) | Two | Star levels + trials (up to Stage 10 feeding perks) |
| Rare (Purple) | Three | Star levels + trials + feeding (up to Stage 15 feeding perks) |
Feeding and Glitter Tataris
Feeding your Tataris is another critical aspect of strengthening them. This process upgrades their stat grades and helps them complete trials necessary for their third evolution stage, provided they meet the required star levels. Each Tatari can be fed up to 15 times daily, with food sourced from the daily Boss Challenge or purchased in the Mall.
As of the 01/04/2025 update, Glitter Tataris were introduced, offering an alternate color palette. These are obtained by feeding a Tatari Glitter Fruit, which has a 0.4% chance of turning it into a Glitter version. Common (blue rarity) Tataris cannot consume Glitter Fruit.
