Fast answer
Punchimp is absolutely worth building. If you want a damage-first line that still feels smart long-term, this is one of the best launch picks.
What makes Punchimp strong
The line gives you real DPS without feeling too narrow. That balance is why it stays near the top of launch rankings.
Best account use
Punchimp is especially good when your roster already has:
- one stable support slot
- enough board control to keep a damage line online
- a need for better Rock coverage
Evolution priority
High. Punchimp is one of the better first damage evolutions if Buddi is already covering your team stability.
