Ancient Nest Guardian: ability choices and unlocks
The table connects Ancient Nest Guardian to its recorded abilities, grouped by combat slot. Open an ability to inspect its effects and other pets with the same move.
| Ability | Slot | Unlock level |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Fist | Slot 1 | 1 |
| Batter | Slot 1 | 10 |
| Extra Plating | Slot 2 | 2 |
| Entangling Roots | Slot 2 | 15 |
| Feathered Frenzy | Slot 3 | 4 |
| Wind-Up | Slot 3 | 20 |
- Slot 1 pairs Metal Fist (level 1) with Batter (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 2 pairs Extra Plating (level 2) with Entangling Roots (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 3 pairs Feathered Frenzy (level 4) with Wind-Up (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.
