Thunderpoid 1.0 is an alpha Nanovor in Wave 2 that is the base of the Thunder tree.
OVERVIEW[]
- I don’t quite know what to think about Thunderpoid 1.0… it looks really innocent, but something tells me that it’s hiding some sort of evil secret. I mean, no innocent Nanovor would have tiny little jellyfish do its bidding. It’s like Thunderpoid 1.0 prefers to have other Nanovor do its dirty work. Still, like I said, I’m really undecided! It just seems so floaty and naive so much of the time, and then other times it looks super suspicious! It’s kind of like when I was a kid and used to snatch cookies from the cookie jar when no one was looking. The problem is I totally couldn’t keep the secret and mom always caught me. Well, when the day comes where we catch Thunderpoid doing something shady, I’m going to have a big fat “I told you so” to yell.

TACTICS[]
- Thunderpoid 1.0’s attacks just can’t get any cheaper, so it’s a great Nanovor to start off the game with. Sure, its attacks might not be too powerful, but they’re handy energy-savers for your expensive guys, eager to use their heavy damage attacks! It’s also a great Nanovor to start off with because with Tangler, Thunderpoid 1.0 can swap-block the opponent, setting you up for a much easier conquer. So bring it out in the beginning for some swap manipulation, light damage and Energy build up. And most importantly, don’t forget about its Red Spike, which can allow for some crazy damage combos!
COUNTER TACTICS[]
- Do Massive Damage! Thunderpoid 1.0’s got some pretty hefty health, so every hit has got to be worth it. Start off with your Rumble Hound 1.0 and play down a Red Spike. Then, swap in your Electropod 2.0 for a Powerball. Finish Thunderpoid off with a quick Charge from your Spike Spine 1.0.
- Have a Big Finish! Start off with some fairly weak attacks, like your Electropod 1.0’s Electroshock. Then, after two turns of shocking Thunderpoid, swap in your Battle Kraken 3.0 for a Blue Blast! Thunderpoid will pop right out of the Nanoverse.
- Use Spike Combos! Start off with your Gigastriker 1.0 and play down a Blue Spike. Then, swap in your Giga Wing 1.0 and attack with Gob Smack to really reduce Thunderpoid’s health! For the final blow, swap in your Tank Walker 2.0 and attack with Ion Gore.
Discovery[]
- I swear, because of this discovery, I’ll never refuse to listen to my little brother again. Last night he kept whining at me to get him a popsicle. I kept telling him to get it himself but he kept giving me that face… so, I went up to the freezer and was rooting around for those elusive Edy’s fruit pops when I found something AMAZING. As I pushed past the frozen corn I noticed something darting about in the corner of my eye. I searched around, intrigued, until my search led me to the circuitry behind the freezer. Sweet—more circuitry! I ran back to my room and got my Nanoscope, which I quickly managed to hook up to the back of the fridge through careful maneuvering (and after several minor shocks). That minor setback was worth it though, because I found some Thunderpoid 1.0’s just drifting around in the back of my fridge! Man, if I were a Nanovor, I know I’d hang out around the ice cream too. Of course, I doubt they could enjoy the sweet deliciousness that is a fruit pop.

ORIGINS[]
- Based on careful observation of this curious creature, I’ve come to agree with Nathan’s hypothesis that this Nanovor may eventually become drunk on power. Something is definitely “shady” about it. Surely I’ll need to observe its evolutions more closely.
