What a Cubee is
A Cubee is a small companion that follows you around, fights beside you and grows stronger the better you look after it. You collect Cubees, feed them snacks to raise their vitality, and take two of them out at once: your Main and your Duo.
Each Cubee has its own ability or passive, one favourite and one disliked snack, badges to earn and a Cubit to command it with. Type /cubees and open the Cubees List to see them all; right-click any tile to read its full card. Every Cubee also has a page in the Catalogue.
To collect and call out your first one, see Your First Cubee.
Collections
Every Cubee belongs to a collection, such as Starter, Biomes, Dragons or Oni-Slayer. Its tile in the Cubees List names it on the "Collection:" line. A collection is also how a server installs Cubees: each one comes in its own pack or packs, so the Cubees you can collect depend on the packs your server runs.
The Cubees List also shows Cubees that are not reworked yet. The Catalogue marks them "Coming soon": they have a tile and a story, but nobody can summon them yet.
Roles and elements
Every Cubee has one of three roles, shown by the symbol in front of its name:
- 🗡 Fighter: attacks your enemies.
- 🛡 Booster: makes your other Cubee stronger.
- ⛏ Helper: helps you while you travel.
Nothing is locked by role, so any Cubee can be your Main or your Duo. The game's advice: pick two different roles, such as one Booster and one Fighter.
Most Cubees also carry one of 11 elements. Each element beats the next one in this circle, and the last beats the first:
☀ Light, 🌑 Darkness, ✦ Magic, 💥 Kinetic, ⛰ Earth, ⚡ Electric, 💧 Water, 🔥 Fire, ❄ Ice, ☠ Poison, 🍃 Nature.
When a Cubee's ability hits another Cubee, by default it deals 50% more damage to the element it beats and 60% less to the element that beats it. Elements only count between Cubees, never against mobs or players. A Cube can push a matchup further; see Cubes.
Behaviour modes
A Cubee's behaviour mode decides whether it picks its own fights. Switch it with the Behaviour button in the Cubee's menu:
- Auto: picks its own targets and uses its ability on them.
- Auto [Mobs Only]: the same, but never harms or targets players or other players' Cubees.
- Friendly: waits for your Cubit and uses its ability only on what you point it at.
- Friendly [Mobs Only]: waits for the Cubit, which can't point it at players or their Cubees.
A passive works in every mode. Crouch and left-click a player or mob with a Cubit to mark them as your ally, and your Cubees will never harm them.
Combos
Every Cubee's card names one partner from its own collection. When the two are out together, as Main and Duo in either order, their combo turns on and changes what one or both abilities do. The card's Combo section says how.
You keep your pairs in the Combos menu (/cucombo): twelve saved loadouts, each with a Main and a Duo slot. Select one, fill both slots and click Summon. Most Cubees whose ability deals damage hit far softer as the Duo, so put your hardest hitter in the Main slot.
