A source-led reading of the 35 Tatari lines in TataDex’s August 26 Horde balance snapshot: 22 buffs, 12 nerfs, and 1 adjusted entry.
What the classifications mean
The source index classifies a line as a buff, nerf, or adjusted entry. A buff means the source marks a positive skill-balance change; a nerf means it marks a negative change; adjusted is kept separate when the change is not safely summarized as simply stronger or weaker. The labels describe direction, not an invented damage percentage or a guarantee that a Tatari becomes best in every mode.
The 35 affected lines
TataDex records exactly 35 affected Tatari lines in the repository snapshot: 22 buff, 12 nerf, and 1 adjusted. Open each linked profile for the current internal name, evolution line, and available verification notes. If a line is not present in the internal database, its source name remains listed without a fabricated profile link.
- Buffs: Blueflick, Drilleroo, Dumbopus, Fluffle, Frostnip, Fumekit, Gopher, Hootlet, Joeyo, Kittazap, Lollama, Lullelly, Maskfry, Momopo, Pyropup, Rubblet, Sackling, Sealing, Shrimpyro, Skinklet, Tindercub, Voltkit
- Adjusted: Voltfawn
- Nerfs: Ashlarva, Buddi, Cheerling, Dewgrub, Droppit, Flameow, Pandaroo, Punchimp, Souphog, Sparkeet, Zaplet, Zappur
How to use the balance snapshot
Start with the mode you actually play. A Horde skill change can alter a Tatari’s practical job without proving that its Story, Boss, Dojo, or Gold Rush ranking changes by the same amount. Compare the balance label with the Tatari profile, role, evolution stage, and the current team gap; then test a candidate rather than treating the label as a universal tier placement.
Cadence and source boundary
This is one original TataDex analysis article based on the repository’s tatariChanges index and the linked internal database. The blog cadence is one original article per week going forward; that is a publishing target, not a promise to backfill a retroactive volume of articles.
