Every Cubee has a menu of its own: one row that shows its card and lets you name it, trade for its Cubit, set its behaviour, socket a Cube, send it to a habitat and see its badges.
Opening it
- Right-click your Cubee with an empty hand, or while holding a Cube.
- Right-click its tile in the Cubees List.
- Right-click it in a slot of the Combos menu.
From the Cubees List you can open the menu of any Cubee whose collection your server has installed, even one you haven't collected, to read its card. Most of its buttons then answer "You have not collected this Cubee yet." For any other Cubee, including ones not released yet, chat says "This Cubee's collection is not installed on this server."
The tiles, left to right
- The card. The Cubee's name, with its role's symbol in front, then its role, its element if it has one, the slot it does best in (Main Cubee, Duo Cubee, or Main or Duo), vitality, health and the max health each 1% of vitality adds. Under Snacks, the snack it loves and the one it hates. Then its Ability or Passive with the numbers that matter (damage, cooldown and so on), its Combo, and a Debuff section explaining any effect its ability leaves. A cosmetic Cubee's card says "a cosmetic Cubee - no ability or combo" instead.
- Close. Closes the menu. If you came from the Cubees List or the Combos menu, it becomes a Back button that returns you there.
- Name. Gives your Cubee a name of its own. Click it and type the name in chat; type - to hide the name. The button shows the current name.
- Cubit. Trades CuCoins for this Cubee's Cubit. See below.
- Behaviour. Left-click to switch its mode, right-click to open or close yourself to Cu-Battle requests. The button shows both. See What is Cubee?
- Cube. Shows the Cube socketed in this Cubee and what it does. Left-click with a Cube in your hand to socket it, right-click to take it back. A change takes effect the next time you summon the Cubee. See Cubes.
- Empty on most Cubees. A few put a button of their own here: the Social Media Cubees' Link, the link that players who right-click your Cubee get in chat, and the Lovey Dovey Cubee's Letter, the letter it carries.
- Habitat. Shows what this Cubee earns while it lives in a habitat and how close its next payout is. By default that is 15 CuCoins every 120 seconds for almost every Cubee, plus 10% more for every full 10% of its vitality. Click to move it into your nearest habitat, or to take it back out. A Cubee living in a habitat can't be summoned until you take it out. If your server has switched off this Cubee's habitat earnings, the button says it lives there "but earns no Cu-Coins on this server". See Habitats.
- Badges. This Cubee's own lifetime achievements: vitality, journey, appetite, valour and mastery. Click to open its badge row. See Badges.
On a server running the McPets edition, the second tile is Recall, which sends the Cubee home (Back when you came from the Cubees List), and the card shows the Cubee's level instead of its vitality. See McPets Edition.
The Cubit
A Cubit is a token cut to one Cubee's shape. Hold it and that Cubee takes your orders: when to use its ability, and who counts as an ally or an enemy. Every Cubee has its own Cubit, and it only works while that Cubee is out. A Cubit is never used up.
Trading for a Cubit
Click the Cubit button in the Cubee's menu. The button shows the price and the vitality the Cubee needs. By default, for every Cubee:
- the Cubit costs 100 CuCoins;
- the Cubee needs at least 10% vitality.
If you're short, chat tells you whether the vitality or the CuCoins fall short. Otherwise the CuCoins are taken, the Cubit goes into your inventory and chat shows your new balance. Your server can also switch a Cubee's Cubit trade off; the Cubee then "does not offer a Cubit trade".
What the Cubit lets you command
Hold the Cubit while its Cubee is out, and:
- Left-click an enemy to send your Cubee at it. A red ring marks the target, and your Cubee uses its ability at once if it's ready. By default it sticks to that target until the ability is over. If the ability is still cooling down, the Cubee turns on the target but doesn't use its ability yet.
- Crouch and left-click a player or a mob to mark them as your ally, with a blue ring. Your Cubees will not harm them. Left-click them again without crouching to make them an enemy, which also sends your Cubee at them.
- Left-click another player's Main Cubee from 7 blocks or closer to challenge them to a Cu-Battle. See Cu-Battle.
- Swing it anywhere for a Cubee whose ability heals, shields, guards or boosts around itself, such as the Good Cubee's Pep Talk: outside a Cu-Battle it uses its ability at once. A few others do something special with their Cubit, such as a minigame, a blink, a snack stall or a daily gift; their card says so.
The target has to be within the Cubee's range: 15 blocks for most Cubees, by default. Further away, a ring shows the range and chat says "Target is out of range."
The Cubit also follows the Cubee's behaviour mode. In a Mobs Only mode it won't aim at players or other players' Cubees, and chat says the Cubee "keeps to mobs only". In a Cu-Battle it only works on your turn. Abilities & Cooldowns covers what happens once the ability fires.
Keepsake Cubits
If your server makes a Cubee cosmetic, the Cubee has no ability, and its button reads "Cubit keepsake": the Cubit "commands nothing, but it is one more icon to collect". It costs the same and needs the same vitality. Swing it and chat tells you the Cubee "has no ability to use". The Cubit's own item text still explains how to command, because it is the same item whatever the server sets.
Not to be confused with Cubiks
A Cubik is something else: a reward box you open with a key to win a Cubee. See Cubiks.
