Temtem is a newly launched creature-collection MMORPG game that bears a very close resemblance to the Nintendo's Pokemon series. If you are a fan of the latter, you will definitely love Temtem. It's the only real massively-multiplayer online role-playing game that allows you to play a Temtem/Pokemon Trainer who catches and trains the eponymous Temtems, fights with other players and NPC controlled units, complete quests, and trade with other players.
It's a fully-fledged MMO, so in order not to get behind other players, you will definitely want to know what are the strongest Temtems worth training, and how to obtain them in the actual game. Keep in mind, Temtem is still in Early Access phase and is not yet completed. The list below is based on the time we managed to spend online during the first two weeks of the launch, and a lot of information may be missing. We will, however, update the guide in the course of the weeks to give you the most accurate data possible.
Basic information about Temtems
Temtems are the eponymous fictional creatures that players collect and train, in order to battle other players and Temtem trainers. Currently, there are 86 unique Temtems available in the Alpha 0.5 version of the game. Temtems are trained by using them in combat, and receive experience points whenever they are on the battlefield when an enemy Temtem is defeated. By leveling up Temtems gain additional Stats which increases their overall capabilities, and after a set number of levels up gained, certain Temtems may evolve into their higher forms. Below you can find all the basic stats of each Temtem:
On top of the beforementioned Stats, each Temtem has its' own Type (or in some cases, two Types). Types determine Temtems strengths and weaknesses against other Temtem Types. Usually, it basically means, you will deal double damage against Temtems that you are strong against or deal half the damage against Temtem types that you are ineffective against (or receive twice as much or half the damage from Temtems you are Weak to/Resistant to). Since some Temtems can have two different types, both will be calculated, so in some cases, you can deal 4x times or 1/4 the regular damage. Knowing all Temtems when you are fighting them, can help you build a strategy that will let you deal with much higher leveled enemies.
There is a total of 12 Temtem types that are listed below:
Type | Strong against | Ineffective against | Resistant to | Weak to |

Digital |
None | |||
Earth |

Electric |

Fire |

The List
Important Note: The 10 Best Temtems listed below have no specified order (from best to worst or vice versa). It is still too early to evaluate them so accurately, and the list is surely going to be updated over the course of the following weeks. We will also appreciate any feedback so that we can improve the list and give you more accurate information.
Below you will find the premiere version of our Top 10 Best Temtems currently obtainable in the game. Enjoy!
Pigepic |
||||||||||||||
Name: Pigepic
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Pigepic has a total of 453 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Pigepic is a small fluffy Wind-type pig that does not evolve into or from any other Temtem. It can be commonly found on the Deniz island, mainly Prasine Coast, Thalassian Cliffs, and The Gifted Bridges. Don't underestimate Pigepic based on it being quite easy to obtain - it is one of the best Support Temtems in the game, and properly leveled up it will be your Squad's core member. Pigepic is very fast and tanky, and thanks to high Hitpoints and Stamina he can be on the battlefield for a very long time, supporting your other Temtems a soaking up damage. By being Wind type, Pigepic will be weak only against Electric Temtems, so you can put him on your roaster in most of the fights. |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: Pigepic is primarily a Tank/Support Temtem, and you should focus on these types of abilities for it. If you want you can also add Oshi-Dashi as a finishing Attack which deals quite a lot of damage
|
Gyalis |
||||||||||||||
Name: Gyalis
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Gyalis has a total of 460 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Gyalis is a true killer. It has the highest "base DPS" in the game, with the highest ATK+SPD combined. It brings up to the table quite a bunch of Hitpoints too, and his only downside is its low Stamina. You should still be able to take down most opponents in just a few initial rounds though... Gyalis can be found in the Mines of Mictlan on Tucma Island, which requires you to be over level 30, and it's quite rare. You have an approximately 10% chance of meeting it, but it's totally worth farming Gyalis to have it added to your roaster. |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: Gyalist is all about taking down opponents and doing it fast. His skill set is all about damaging attacks. We just decided to add the basic Glass Blade here, as his Stamina is rather low, and on many occasions, just that will be more than enough
|
Zenoreth |
||||||||||||||
Name: Zenoreth
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Zenoreth has a total of 460 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Zenoreth possesses one of the most useful Specials we have tested so far. Rend, on top of dealing decent damage, it Neutralizes your target for 4 turns. By sacrificing some of Zenoreth's HP, you can increase the SPDEF and SPATK by an additional 25% - so if you are able to heal it up properly, Zenoreth becomes a real beast in the field. Zenoreth can be found in Corrupted Badlands on the island of Tucma. It has a min. level of 50 so be prepared for a real struggle before you get to obtain it. - > - > |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: Zenoreth skill set is based on its Specials. His stats pretty much make this mandatory. We have also included Footwork which increased SPD, but that's situational. Sometimes neutralizing your enemies before they can take action is a key to success
|
Mastione |
||||||||||||||
Name: Mastione
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Mastione has a total of 438 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Mastione is currently the most powerful Fire-type Temtem with insane offensive capabilities. While dishing out sick damage on enemies, it still brings quite well-balanced Stats overall, with decent HP, Stamina, and Defenses. It evolves from Magmis after leveling up 16 times. It can be found in the region of Anak Volcano on Omninesia Island. - > |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: You will be aiming at increasing Mastione's damage without thinking twice. His role is to take down opponents and do it fast.
|
Oceara |
||||||||||||||
Name: Oceara
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Oceara has a total of 486 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Oceara is one of the fastest Temtems in the game. Combined with absurd Special Attack Power, it's just natural you will find Oceara on this list. At the same time, Oceara offers amazing synergies with Fire, Wind, and Earth Temtems, not only boosting her offensive capabilities but team utility as well. Oceara can be found in the secret Aguamarina Caves northeast of Brical de Mar on Deniz island. You will need a Surfboard to reach it though. It is currently unknown if Oceara can evolve into another Temtem, however, she is believed to be a part of the Sea-Queen Legend, so she might (under some circumstances) become even more valuable and powerful. |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: Oceara is a "Spell-caster" and you will aim to utilize her most powerful Specials. Our recommended setup is based on her powerful synergies and
|
Kinu |
||||||||||||||
Name: Kinu
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Kinu has a total of 454 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Kinu is among the best Support/Healer Temtems currently available in the game. It is simply insane when farming/grinding NPC controlled units with its' healing abilities, saving you a lot of Pansun on Balms (or time on going back to heal up). It possesses one of the best Healing abilities in the game, and with high Stamina, Speed, and solid defenses, it's a game-changing Temtem in countless fights. Kinu can be found in Giant Banyan on the island of Omninesia. It's quite rare, as you have an approximately 5% chance of encountering Kinu. |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: Kinu is primarily a Support/Healer so most of the abilities should be focused on that role. However, you will always want to carry at least damaging ability so you can occasionally take down some low HP opponents.
|
Myx |
||||||||||||||
Name: Myx
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Myx has a total of 443 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Myx is our top favorite Mental Temtem with amazing damage-dealing potential and self-sustain. It has HP Leech from Melee Attacks, and the Puppet Master Passive, which makes it last in combat longer than most of its allies. Myx's insane SPATK and SPDEF is a cherry on a cake. Myx is the second form or Occlura, and it can be only obtained via evolving it after leveling up 18 times. Occular can be found in Kupeleleza on the island of Tucma - > |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: Myx is all about his SP Attacks, so we will definitely focus on that part. However, you should always keep a regular technique around so that you can heal yourself in hard situations
|
Nessla |
||||||||||||||
Name: Nessla
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Nessla has a total of 437 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: Nessla is one of the most unique Temtems in the game currently. It offers solid damage (both single-target and AoE) while offering well-balanced stats overall. It also has amazing "synergy" via its Electric Synthesize passive and Chain Lightning. You get to hit two opponents simultaneously while healing yourself on the last hit. Nessla can be found while exploring Thalassian Cliffs and Sillaro River on Denis island and has no know evolutions. |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: Nessla is a very balanced Temtem, and you can use her/it for a lot of different roles. Our choices are the ones we prefer, but you surely can come up with more interesting and effective ideas for this amazing Temtem
|
Volarend |
||||||||||||||
Name: Volarend
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Volarend has a total of 457 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: a solid DPS Temtem which can easily become one of the fastest creatures on the battlefield thanks to its Aerobic passive. Volarend is the second form of Zephyruff into which it evolves after leveling up 22 times. Zephyruff can be commonly found on the Tucma island, with Volarend being a rare encounter in the region of Kupeleleza. While Volarend doesn't have exceptionally high stats, it's one of the best Temtems to quickly deal with random encounters on the world map. - > |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: You can use pretty much any of Volarend skills efficiently, but since it has high SPATK attribute, you will want to focus on those types of attacks mainly
|
Mudrid |
||||||||||||||
Name: Mudrid
|
||||||||||||||
Base stats: Mudrid has a total of 451 Base Stats
|
||||||||||||||
General Information: one of the most versatile Temtems we have used so far. It can be a fairly strong damage-dealer, but also a tank/support creature. It has a very high SPD and HP stats making it quite durable in combat. Truly, you can use a wide variety of skills with Mudrid, it has decent single-target damage, AoE, Crowd-control, and even supporting abilities. Mudrid is the second form of Bunbun that evolves after 20 levels. It can be found in Mines of Mictlan on the island of Tucma. - > |
||||||||||||||
Recommended abilities: it's extremely hard to point out the best 4 abilities for Mudrid - he is one of the most versatile Temtems we have played. However, we have skipped the "support" role in his case, and made him into a Tank/DPS Temtem that worked quite well for a long time
|
END NOTE Temtem has just recently launched and we have made the list based on the limited time that we were able to spend in the game during the first two weeks after the launch. Obviously, the list will be systematically updated as we get to test out all Temtems more thoroughly, and alternative team compositions in actual combat (and against different types of enemy Teams as well) We hope that you have found this guide useful and informative. If you believe some of the information is inaccurate, or if there is a Temtem that we should definitely include on our list, please let us know in the comments below. We will be very grateful for your feedback. |
