Spooky or Sweet: A Guide to Choosing Your Cassette Beasts Starter

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Cassette Beasts / 08 May 2021

Choosing Your Starter in Cassette Beasts:

During the beginning sequence of the game, you will be asked by Kayleigh about your aesthetic preference. You will have two options: Spooky and Sweet. Your choice will determine the cassette you receive and the initial monster you start your journey with.

Spooky: If you choose Spooky, you’ll receive the cassette containing the essence of Bansheep, a Beast-type monster.

Sweet: If you choose Sweet, you’ll receive the cassette containing the essence of Candevil, another Beast-type monster.

Understanding Your Starter’s Stats and Moveset:

Before we delve into the evolutions, let’s take a look at the stats and moveset of both starters:

Bansheep:

Bansheep has relatively balanced stats and its base sticker moveset leans towards evasion and lowering enemy accuracy. Its notable moves are Sheer Luck (increases evasion when health is low) and Battering Ram (a solid move that does good damage and decreases enemy accuracy).

Candevil:

Candevil’s stats are almost identical to Bansheep’s, with a swap in their defenses. Its moveset increases speed with lower health (with the passive sticker Sugar Rush) and has a damaging ranged move called Bonbon Blast (which does good damage and lowers enemy evasion).

The Evolution Process:

Each starter comes with its own evolutions that are branching, making for a total of five forms per line. You’ll have one base form, two separate middle stages, and two separate final stages, depending on which option you branch over to.

Bansheep’s Evolutions:

Once you reach the stage where you can evolve Bansheep, the game will present you with a dialogue choice, and each answer hints at what the evolution could be:

Wooltergeist (Astral-type):

If you choose the option that leads to the Astral-type evolution, Bansheep will evolve into Wooltergeist. In its final stage, Wooltergeist evolves into Ramtasm, also an Astral-type.

Zombleat (Earth-type):

If you choose the option that leads to the Earth-type evolution, Bansheep will evolve into Zombleat. In its final stage, Zombleat evolves into Capricorpse.

Candevil’s Evolutions:

Similarly, when you reach the stage where you can evolve Candevil, you’ll be presented with a dialogue choice:

Malchemy (Poison-type):

If you choose the option that leads to the Poison-type evolution, Candevil will evolve into Malchemy. In its final stage, Malchemy evolves into Miasmodeus.

Vendemon (Metal-type):

If you choose the option that leads to the Metal-type evolution, Candevil will evolve into Vendemon. In its final stage, Vendemon evolves into Gumball.

Customizing Your Movesets:

Cassette Beasts allows for extensive moveset customization through the sticker system. Stickers found throughout the game can be used to swap movesets and adapt your monster to your preferred playstyle. Below is a guide that explains this system.

Starter Evolution Comparison:

There isn’t a clear superior choice between the two starters, as they are both balanced and well-matched. The choice depends on your personal preference and playstyle. Remember, your Beast-type starter will change types depending on their evolution path (Astral or Earth for Bansheep, and Poison or Metal for Candevil).

Tips for Choosing and Using Your Starter:

Here are some tips to help you make the most out of your chosen starter and their evolutions:

Experiment with stickers: As mentioned earlier, the sticker system allows for great customization of your monster’s moveset. Don’t hesitate to try out different combinations to find the one that suits your playstyle best.

Adapt to your chosen type: Each evolution path has its strengths and weaknesses. Be mindful of your monster’s type and use it to your advantage in battles. For example, if you have an Earth-type monster, you may have an advantage against Electric-type opponents.

Balance your team: While your starter is an essential part of your team, remember to build a well-rounded team with various types and abilities. This will allow you to battle different opponents effectively.

Explore and grind: Cassette Beasts has plenty of hidden secrets and powerful stickers to find. Make sure to explore the world thoroughly and don’t shy away from grinding for experience to unlock your monster’s full potential

In the end, your choice of starter and their evolutions in Cassette Beasts comes down to personal preference and playstyle. Both starters and their evolutions have their unique abilities and strengths so there isn’t a definitive answer to which one is the best.
