Roco Kingdom Impling and Impette: Evolution, Stats and Craving Lifesteal Trait

If something just stole from your backpack, dropped it and flew off snickering, you have probably met an Impling. In Roco Kingdom, this little imp is pure mischief, and its evolution Impette is a crooked-grinning prankster that never breaks a promise. Both are fast physical attackers that heal themselves with every hit. Here is how the line grows and how to use it.

The evolution line

1. Impling (No. 030, Havoc / Wing): Full of nothing but mischief, it can wriggle out of a Roco’s grip without effort. Implings move in groups, snatch things from Rocos’ backpacks only to drop them, and fly off snickering. Bug them too much and they come back grumpy to headbutt you.
2. Impette (No. 031, Havoc / Wing): It wears a crooked grin and seems carefree, but deep down it is afraid of being ignored. So it spends every day dreaming up pranks and rehearsing its scare tricks. Despite its mischievous air, it never breaks a promise.

Both stages are Havoc and Wing class and share the same trait. Impling is also one of the 127 species with a Chromatic form.

Trait: Craving

When this Jini enters the field, it gains 50% Lifesteal.

Lifesteal heals the Jini for part of the damage it deals, so every attack also restores HP. Combined with this line’s strong Physical Attack, that lets it stay in the fight much longer than its defenses alone would suggest.

Stats at every stage

Here is how Species Aptitude grows from Impling to Impette:

1. Impling, 452 total: HP 90, Physical Attack 100, Magic Attack 42, Physical Defense 80, Magic Defense 56, Speed 84
2. Impette, 576 total: HP 117, Physical Attack 125, Magic Attack 53, Physical Defense 103, Magic Defense 73, Speed 105

This is a fast physical attacker. Impette’s 125 Physical Attack and 105 Speed let it hit early and hard, and the harder it hits, the more Craving heals it. Its Magic Defense is its weak spot, so magic attackers are the main threat.

Size and capture details:

1. Impling: 0.39 to 0.56 m, 3.6 to 5.2 kg. Gives 16 Starlight and a 1,200 Roco Coin base review reward.
2. Impette: 0.78 to 1.12 m, 25 to 34 kg. Gives 40 Starlight and a 3,000 Roco Coin base review reward.

Class effectiveness

When attacking:

1. Havoc skills deal ×2 damage to: Poison, Charm and Shadow
2. Havoc skills deal ×0.5 damage to: Light, Fighting and Havoc
3. Wing skills deal ×2 damage to: Flora, Bug and Fighting
4. Wing skills deal ×0.5 damage to: Earth, Dragon, Electro and Mech

When defending as a Havoc / Wing Jini:

1. Takes ×2 damage from: Light, Ice, Electro and Charm
2. Takes ×0.5 damage from: Flora, Shadow and Havoc

All other matchups deal normal ×1 damage. Its two attacking classes cover each other well: Wing skills handle the Fighting Jinies that resist Havoc. Shadow Jinies are a great target, since Havoc skills hit them for double damage and their Shadow attacks only deal half damage back.

3. Affectionate: 6.9%

Where to start

1. Evolve Impling into Impette. Its total Species Aptitude climbs from 452 to 576.
2. Build around Physical Attack and Speed. Strong hits mean more healing from Craving.
3. Carry both Havoc and Wing skills so it can hit a wide range of opponents hard.
4. Send it in against Shadow, Poison, Charm, Flora and Bug opponents.
5. Switch out against Light, Ice, Electro and Charm attackers, and watch out for strong magic users.
