Batomon Showdown tips for new players come down to four habits: queue every day, level your Batomon through abilities and items rather than spreading resources thin, rotate your team so you learn which creatures actually carry fights, and spend your early currency on the upgrades that move progression fastest.
How to spend the first week
Queue at least one async PvP match per day
The server resolves fights on your roster at its current strength, so consistency matters more than any one big queue.
Note which Batomon carried each match
Open the rewards screen after each match and write down which two or three Batomon did the heavy lifting.
Pull ability books and item drops onto those creatures first
The rest of the roster waits; the store description highlights leveling through abilities and items as the engine.
Swap in any creature whose synergy looks stronger
Check your team after every few matches and promote a creature whose synergy with your trainer ability now looks stronger.
Order to use for early resources
| Priority | What to spend currency on |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ability upgrades for your two strongest Batomon — directly improves the replay timeline and damage. |
| 2 | Item or trinket upgrades for the same two creatures — multiplies the value of every ability upgrade above it. |
| 3 | Trainer ability exploration — once creatures are stable, revisit whether the trainer still matches the team you actually run. |

Progression framing comes from the Steam store description; the rotation and currency priority is a player-facing summary of that description and community discussion on the Steam Community hub.
FAQ
What should new players spend currency on first?
Spend currency on ability and item upgrades for two or three carry Batomon rather than spreading resources thin across every creature. The Steam store description frames abilities and items as the core progression path.
Should I level all my Batomon or focus one?
Focus two or three Batomon first. Once a small core is stable, level the rest of the roster only as fast as the asynchronous PvP loop teaches you which creatures are pulling their weight.
How often should I rotate my team?
Rotate after every match if you have a clear reason to. Drop creatures that did not proc in the last two fights, promote creatures whose abilities lined up with your trainer ability, and re-queue. If you stop changing the team between days, your progression has stalled.
When should I switch trainer?
Switch trainer when the team you actually run no longer matches your original trainer's ability. The Steam store description treats trainer ability as a team-defining choice, so changing the trainer can unlock synergies your current team has outgrown.
