From run start to ladder climb

  1. Pick a Trainer

    The three-card hand decides the run's passive. Pick the one whose trigger can fire in the early turns of this run.

  2. Build a squad

    Choose a core pair from the S+ list, then fill the four late-game roles around the early shop offerings.

  3. Win 10 badges

    Apply the day-by-day pacing, merge toward Level-3, and pivot only the part of the board that caused a loss.

  4. Upload & climb

    Upload the saved squad and write a one-line board description so ranked opponents know what the team is doing.

About this guide and recent updates

Batomon Showdown is an asynchronous PvP auto-battler on Steam and Android. Each run starts with one of three Trainers, builds a squad of Batomon that merges upward, and ends at 10 trainer badges. The saved squad then climbs an asynchronous ranked ladder against other players' saved teams. The post-1.2.0 (Smuggler) balance pass shifted the S+ cores to Dracana, Cinnabark, and Velocect, added the Pantra burn line and Smuggler cross-region pulls, and reworked the Ranked ladder formula.

More context

Use the guides below to plan a run, pick a Trainer, build a squad, and climb the ladder. Every decision is locked in before the Battle button is pressed. The 1.2.0 patch means meta cores and trainer balance have moved since Season 1.

FAQ

What is Batomon Showdown?

Batomon Showdown is an asynchronous PvP auto-battler and creature collector. Players choose a Trainer, build a squad that levels up through merging identical Batomon, defeat 10 NPC trainers for 10 badges, and then climb an async ranked ladder with the saved squad.

Which platforms is Batomon Showdown on?

Batomon Showdown is available on Steam for Windows and on Android. The developer's official website lists the App Store version as coming soon but gives no iOS release date. Check the official store listings for current availability.

How does the async ranked ladder work?

Ranked play is asynchronous: the saved squad is uploaded after each completed run and other players fight that saved team when they queue up. There is no live opponent or real-time timer. Players climb divisions using stars, MMR, and ultimately Master rank.

What do these guides cover?

The guides explain how to level Batomon, pick a Trainer, read the Batomon tier list, build meta squads, position them on the board, manage the merge-to-trinket economy, and climb the async ranked ladder. They are unofficial community guides based on public match data and the official Steam store page.
