How do you turn eggs into a useful companion squad?
Collect eggs when you can reach them safely, then look for effects that help them hatch and support the companions you gain. An egg and an active Hatchmon serve different roles in a build. Plan around the effects you actually have, and keep your own attacks reliable while developing companion support.
Hatchmon can contribute attacks, movement, recovery support, or utility. Start by reading what a pickup changes: gaining an egg, adding hatching progress, and awakening a dazed companion are separate effects.
The beginner guide covers resource planning before you commit to a companion-focused setup.
Which items help with hatching?
Use an item’s stated trigger to add hatching progress, or activate Lightbulb when you have an egg and enough crystals. Choose a trigger that fits the actions your build already performs. Check the cost and any cooldown before spending resources, especially when your Curio is also needed for movement or survival.
| Item | How it helps | Useful habit |
|---|---|---|
| Godfather Disc | Enemy kills can add hatching progress | Keep clearing threats with a weapon you can use comfortably |
| Replica Circlet | Using a crystal-consuming Curio adds progress, subject to its 3-second trigger cooldown | Pair it with a Curio that already has a useful purpose |
| Dinosaur Fossil | Destroying obstacles can add progress | Break useful obstacles instead of spending tools on random scenery |
| Lightbulb | Uses 2 crystals to hatch an egg immediately | Check that you have an egg and can spare the activation cost |
Replica Circlet’s progress trigger is guaranteed when a qualifying Curio use occurs and its cooldown is ready.
What should you check when your eggs are not becoming companions?
Inspect the item effects your build has and whether you are performing their required actions. For Replica Circlet, the Curio must consume crystals, and its trigger has a cooldown. For Lightbulb, check the egg and crystal requirements before activating it.
Review your equipped Relic as well. An egg-focused setup should account for an effect such as Eternal Stone before spending more resources on hatching tools.
How do you wake a dazed Hatchmon?
Touch a dazed Hatchmon to awaken it, but make sure the route to it is safe before moving across the room. Dazed companions stop contributing their normal attacks until they recover. Kiddy and Chirpie can help awaken others, giving a companion-focused setup support while you concentrate on positioning and incoming attacks.
- Move safely toward a dazed companion. Clear an incoming threat or wait for space before approaching.
- Keep recovery support in mind. Elise starts with Kiddy, and Chirpie is a fusion option that awakens companions during combat.
- Check the fight yourself. An active squad contributes more effectively when you also keep attacking and avoid unnecessary damage.
Which companion fusions are useful to learn first?
Learn a few colour combinations that solve practical problems for your current run. A movement companion, awakening support, or chest utility can be useful for different reasons. Check which babies you have before pursuing a recipe, then choose a result that fits the weapon and resources you are already using.
| Fusion | Required companions | Main benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudie | 3 Purply + 1 Limey | Grants 1 extra jump and creates Jump Marks during battle |
| Chirpie | 2 Purply + 2 Limey | Awakens dazed companions during combat |
| Boxie | 3 Limey + 1 Purply | Converts a wooden chest into a special chest, once per room |
| Torchie | 4 Pinky | Fires periodic fireballs and creates a flame nova when hit |
Notice that Cloudie and Boxie use the same colours in different quantities. Keep track of the companions present in your squad rather than treating every group of four babies as the same recipe.
How should you choose a fusion goal?
If movement is restricting where you can stand, Cloudie’s extra jump is worth considering. If your squad frequently becomes dazed, Chirpie adds recovery support. Boxie provides chest utility, while Torchie supplies additional attacks.
Choose the benefit that addresses your current problem. Avoid spending your last useful resource on a colour or companion simply because it belongs to a recipe you cannot yet complete.
How do Elise and Noxmare support a Hatchmon build?
Use Elise for companion recovery and Noxmare when you want companion hits to contribute to a poison-mark setup. Kiddy awakens nearby dazed Hatchmon, while Noxmare combines marks from your attacks and theirs. Keep a reliable weapon rhythm and protect your movement so the squad supports your damage instead of distracting you from threats.
| Pairing | Interaction | How to plan around it |
|---|---|---|
| Elise and Kiddy | Kiddy awakens nearby dazed companions | Build a useful squad and maintain safe positioning |
| Noxmare | Weapon and Hatchmon hits add poison marks; 9 marks trigger a burst | Keep companions active and continue attacking consistently |
Elise unlocks after 8 successful egg hatches across runs. Claim Hatching Rookie in the Bar once it is complete. The Agent guide explains the rest of her kit and other character choices.
The Noxmare poison build explains its resource affix, recovery options, and how to judge a fusion within a weapon-focused squad.
What should you check before taking companions into a boss fight?
Check that your setup still works when you need to keep moving. Know which companions are active, whether you have awakening support, and how your weapon benefits from the squad. Preserve resources for useful Curio activations, and avoid crossing a dangerous attack pattern just to reach one dazed companion.
- Know the weapon interaction. Noxmare rewards companion hits, while another weapon may need a different form of support.
- Check movement after a change. Test an extra jump before relying on it near a hazard.
- Choose a safe recovery opening. Wait for space before approaching a dazed companion.
- Keep resources available. A hatching or support Curio still needs its activation cost.
Use the boss guide for preparation and route choices. Companions give you additional tools, while your positioning keeps the run alive.
