Which Squishy Should You Use in Dumpling Squishy Race?
Your Squishy is your mount, and its Win Boost decides how fast you earn Wins. The rule is simple: use the highest tier you can afford, switch at every unlock threshold, and never upgrade a tier you are about to replace. Here is the exact decision table.
All Squishies at a Glance
| Tier | Win Boost | Luck | Acceleration | Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D Starter Squishy | 5% | 2% | 3% | Default |
| C Common Squishy | 12% | 5% | 8% | 500 Wins |
| B Rare Squishy | 25% | 12% | 18% | Mid game |
| A Epic Squishy | 45% | 22% | 35% | Late game |
| S Legendary Squishy | 80% | 40% | 60% | After first Rebirth |
The Win Boost multiplies every race win, so it is the stat that matters most for progression. Luck only matters when hatching eggs. See the full squishy guide for each mount's strengths and weaknesses.
Which Squishy by Stage
| Your stage (Wins) | Use this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Under 500 Wins | Starter Squishy (5% Win Boost) | Nothing else is unlocked yet — use the Starter and save every Gem. |
| 500 – 2,499 Wins | Common Squishy (12% Win Boost) | Common (12% Win Boost) is the first real upgrade and carries you through early game. |
| 2,500 – 14,999 Wins | Rare Squishy (25% Win Boost) | Rare (25% Win Boost, 12% Luck) is the mid-game workhorse for racing and hatching. |
| 15,000+ Wins (before first Rebirth) | Epic Squishy (45% Win Boost) | Epic (45% Win Boost) transforms race income — max it before chasing Legendary. |
| After your first Rebirth | Legendary Squishy (80% Win Boost) | Legendary (80% Win Boost, 40% Luck) is the best-in-slot end-game mount. |
The unlock order is fixed, so there is no "wrong" choice within a stage — the next tier is simply always better once you can afford it. The only real decision is when to spend Gems on upgrades.
Which Squishy for Your Goal
- Fastest Wins: Legendary Squishy — 80% Win Boost, the highest in the game.
- Best hatching luck: Legendary Squishy — 40% Luck. Stack with a Luck Potion before opening Rare, Epic, or Legendary Eggs (see the luck guide).
- Top speed: Legendary Squishy — 60% Acceleration. Acceleration matters most in close races and early-game grind sessions.
Since the Legendary Squishy leads all three stats, the real choices happen before it unlocks: Epic is your end-game mount until the first Rebirth, and within each earlier stage the choice is fixed by your Wins.
Upgrade Decision: Spend or Save?
- Never upgrade: Starter Squishy — replace, don't invest.
- Upgrade until close to the next tier: Common and Rare — Gems spent here pay back, but stop saving once the next tier is near.
- Max it out: Epic — a fully upgraded Epic often beats an un-upgraded Legendary, making it your first big Gem sink.
- End-game max: Legendary — the single most impactful upgrade once unlocked.
