About

Mochi Clash

Features
Read full description

Mochi Clash is a 3v3 auto battler starring 9 adorable friends. No complicated controls: pick your party, tap Start Battle, and your friends do the fighting. Light enough for anyone to enjoy with one hand. What you can do Build a party Darkness, Cold, Lightning, Shadow, Holy, Nature, Wind, Fire, Poison. Choose 3 of the 9 friends, each with a different attribute. Pair friends who get along and party synergy kicks in. Attribute matchups The nine attributes form a ring. Darkness beats Cold, Cold beats Lightning, and so on until Poison comes back around to beat Darkness. With the advantage, attribute attacks hit harder and a caption at the top of the screen tells you so. Region stages and stars Each of the 8 regions holds 5 difficulties, from Easy to Hell, with 15 stages in each: 75 stages per region. All three survive for 3 stars, two for 2 stars, one for 1 star. Clear a difficulty to the end and collect 36 stars to unlock the next one. Your first 3-star clear of a stage also earns a Raid Coin. Raid bosses Nine giant bosses, each holding one attribute. Bring the friend whose attribute hits the boss's weak point and the fight gets far easier. Three attempts a day, with 2 Raid Coins for a win and 1 even for a loss. Battle scenes Big characters, wind-ups and attacks, ultimate cut-ins, damage numbers, speech bubbles, captions and a confetti result card. The flow of battle is easy to follow and gets cuter the longer you watch. Three shops Open card packs in the Level Shop to raise your friends' levels, fill attribute progress in the Attribute Shop, and trade Raid Coins for what you need in the Raid Shop. Made to be easy Auto Hunt and Next stage buttons make repeat runs simple, and the suggested power tells you when a stage is worth trying. One switch turns all sound on or off. No account and no purchases. Ads are rewarded ads only, watched when you choose to. Available in Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish and French.
