Highland Tubster Best Team
Core Aniimo of the Chirpi Family Team
Highland Tubster is best used in the Chirpi Family team to help with break damage and to provide the Concerto movement series to complete the full power buff. It can also provide a shield when using Gale Guard to increase the survivability of the team.
Thanks to its trait, Victory Concerto, Highland Tubster gets one of the highest break stats currently in the game behind Rookey and Inferlupa. It also gains additional resistance and weakness because of its dual element with Grass.

Highland Tubster's best skills are Gale Guard and Resting Whirlwind. It gains a high break damage increase when it has a shield, which Gale Guard provides. Resting Whirlwind is Highland Tubster's main way to deal constant break damage to the enemies.

Highland Tubster's best personality is E for the increased break damage. N for the increased critical rate for a chance to deal more break damage. T and J boost physical defense as well as health for more shield. |
|||||
Highland Tubster's best stats are Break and HP. Given that Highland Tubster is a break aniimo, it is important to raise this stat so that it can quickly reduce the break gauge of the enemy. HP helps with survivability as well as increasing the shield Gale Guard grants.

Core Effect: Equipped Aniimo gain 0.7 additional BREAK per level.
Tier 1 Effect: BREAK +2 Tier 2 Effect: BREAK +10%. If BREAK Acquired Potential exceeds 15 points, the effect is doubled. |
||
Highland Tubster's best held item is Gargantuan Horn. Raising the break stat helps it reduce the break gauge of the enemy more quickly.
Should You Form a Contract with Your Held Item?
|
Gale Guard
【BOOSTED】 |
Gale Guard gains an additional effect that heals the current party member 30% of the shield when it expires. |
|---|
We do not recommend forming a contract with the Held Item. 30% of Highland Tubster's shield, which came from 10% of its max health, is low when converted to healing. The shield can also be fully depleted by the enemy before it expires, resulting in zero healing.
How to Play Highland Tubster
Recommended Skill Rotation
- If you are using a full Chirpi family team, use Chirpi's and Tromber's skill rotation first.
- If not, use either a Support or Regen aniimo to buff up Highland Tubster's damage or break.
- Switch to Tubster and immediately use Gale Guard.
- Follow it up with Resting Whirlwind and a few basic attacks in between.
- (Optional) If the shield immediately breaks, switch to another aniimo for a while, then switch back to Tubster and reapply the shield.
- After Highland Tubster breaks the enemy, switch to a DPS aniimo or Cornet to deal massive damage.
Gale Guard Can Deal Damage and Heal
Despite Gale Guard's skill description, it can deal AoE wind damage around Highland Tubster when the skill ends. You can use this to get close to an enemy and reduce their break gauge while gaining a shield based on 10% of Highland Tubster's max HP. This means that Tubster will gain the same amount of shield regardless of how low its current HP is.
Immediately Reuse Gale Guard
We highly recommend instantly reusing Gale Guard when you use it to get the shield immediately. This is useful against enemies that do not have access to multi-hit attacks because you need to be hit 10 times during the defensive stance to gain twice the amount of shield. This heavily decreases the amount of on-field time Highland Tubster takes, as well as helps avoid further damage despite having less shield.
Do Not Use Highland Tubster's Ultimate
Highland Tubster's ultimate, Truce, provides a 35% damage reduction from all attacks for 7 seconds. This is not worth using in any fight, and we strongly suggest using the ultimate of another aniimo for more damage, break, or utility such as buffs or debuffs.
Gains a New Resistance and Weakness
Highland Tubster gains the grass element. When paired with Wind, it has increased resistance against Water, Grass, and Earth. However, it takes increased damage from Fire, Lightning, and Light.
Highland Tubster also gains a grass skill called Leaf Tornado that deals more damage whenever there's a nearby water puddle. We highly recommend not taking this skill as it has lower break damage than Gale Guard and Resting Whirlwind.
