Mochi Pirate (Conqueror)
What Update 4.0 changed
Mochi Pirate (Conqueror) is a unit we can place on the Update 4.0 side of the line. Update 4.0 is the patch that renamed the game from Universal Tower Defense X to Z on 9 July 2026: same Roblox experience, same place ID, new name, and a substantially reshuffled roster. Synchro Clash is often credited to this patch and it should not be — it shipped back in Update 2.5. What 4.0 did was the rename and the roster, and a tier list written under the old name predates this unit entirely.
It did not arrive alone. 12 other One Piece units in our list carry the same flag, which is how 4.0 worked. The roster grew in franchise blocks rather than one character at a time.
Being new cuts both ways. A 4.0 unit is tuned against 4.0 content, which is the content you are playing. It also means its tier placement has had days of scrutiny rather than months, so treat any confident number attached to it, including its position on this site, as provisional.
Is it worth building
Mochi Pirate (Conqueror) is tier S, which is one band below the top, which is where most real accounts are actually built. 36 other units share the band, so the badge is a floor rather than a recommendation: it says the unit is not a mistake, and it does not say it is your best next investment.
The placement starts from the post-Update-4.0 Pro Game Guides ranking, cross-checked against Destructoid. Where the two disagree we keep the post-4.0 verdict and say so, because 4.0 renamed the game and reshuffled the top of the roster, so a pre-patch ranking is a ranking of a different game.
If you already own Mochi Pirate, build it. If you are deciding whether to chase it, the badge alone is not enough, and the element and placement sections below are the parts of that decision we can actually help with.
The data we have
| Field | Mochi Pirate (Conqueror) |
|---|---|
| Tier | S |
| Element | Fire |
| Role | Ground DPS |
| Evolution stage | Conqueror |
| Rarity | A real property, separate from the bracket. Pro Game Guides' unlock table carries 6 rarity values (Mythic, Legendary, Epic, Rare, Secret, Exclusive), but we have not transcribed the column unit by unit, so we print no rarity here rather than a half-checked one. |
| Franchise parodied | One Piece |
| Parody of | Charlotte Katakuri |
| Added in Update 4.0 | Yes |
| Synchro | No published guide puts it in a pairing |
| Damage, range, deploy cost | Not published by any source we trust. |
Not verified yet. There is no stat block on this page. The game does not publish damage, range, deploy cost or upgrade curves for Mochi Pirate, and no tracker or guide we trust has measured them either. We compile sources; we do not play the game, so we have nothing of our own to put here. What would close the gap: a guide that runs the unit alone against a fixed wave, times it, records the upgrade path and shows its working. Until somebody does, the row stays empty rather than filling with a figure that reads well.
Its element, and what that costs you
Mochi Pirate is Fire. The game runs an advantage chart across the seven elements, Fire, Water, Wind, Ice, Rose, Light and Dark, which makes this the field most likely to explain why a team that looks right on paper keeps failing one specific wave. 19 other units share Fire, so it is a well-supplied element and you are unlikely to be short of options in it.
The trap is stacking. Six units of two elements is a team that scales beautifully until it meets the thing it is weak to, and then does nothing at all. If Mochi Pirate would be your third Fire unit, the honest advice is that a worse unit in a missing element will probably clear more content for you than this one will.
Not verified yet. We publish which element each unit is, because the guides we cross-check publish it. We do not publish the advantage grid itself, meaning the exact relationship Fire has with the other six. The chart exists in game, and no source we trust has put the whole of it in print. A plausible-looking matchup table is the easiest thing in the world to invent and the most expensive thing to act on, so it goes up when somebody credible publishes it and not before.
How to get it
This is the section you came for and it is the one where the published record is worst. Units reach your box through a small number of doors: a summon banner, an evolution of something you already own, or a gate behind a mode or an event. Which door Mochi Pirate sits behind is not stated in any source we can point at.
The one structural clue is the bracket. Conqueror is an evolution stage, so this form of the unit is reached by evolving Mochi Pirate rather than by pulling it directly. What that evolution costs, and how you obtain the base form, are both unconfirmed. Note that the bracket says nothing about how rare the unit is, which is the confusion the rarity section below exists to clear up.
Not verified yet. Nobody we trust has published how Mochi Pirate is obtained. No summon rate, no banner name, no event gate, no material cost. What would settle it: a source showing the unit in the in-game summon pool listing, or in a mode or event reward table, with a date attached. Guides that give you a confident answer here are, as far as we can tell, working from the same absence of sources that we are.
Synchro Clash partners
No published guide puts Mochi Pirate in a Synchro pairing, and we are not going to invent one for it. Synchro Clash arrived in Update 2.5, and between Deltia's Gaming and Pro Game Guides there are 7 sourced pairings: 2 Clashes, 2 Drives and 3 Merges, of which 1 has a named resulting unit. Mochi Pirate is in none of them.
That is worth stating rather than glossing over, because Synchro makes ranking units in isolation the wrong exercise: a lower-tier unit that pairs with something you already own can be worth more to your team than a higher-tier unit that stands alone. On the published record, Mochi Pirate stands alone. If a partner turns up in a later patch, or a guide documents one, this section changes.
All 7 pairings are listed on the unit index, and the Team Builder flags one the moment you place both halves.
Evolution stage
Mochi Pirate (Conqueror) is the Conqueror stage. Somewhere upstream of it there is a Mochi Pirate that has not been evolved, and the distance between the two is paid for in material rather than in luck. The bracket is a receipt, not a flex.
The labels are not a ladder shared across the roster. Conqueror on this unit and Ascension on another are not two rungs of one scale, they are each that unit's own named form. Anybody ranking units by how impressive their bracket sounds is ranking marketing copy.
The order you do things in matters more than the destination. Levelling, Etherealize, Evolve, traits and relics all draw from the same finite pile, and doing them in the wrong sequence on a unit you later bench is the most common way to lose a week of farming. That is a systems problem rather than a unit problem, which is why it lives on the systems pages.
Rarity is not the bracket
The bracket is not a rarity, and this is the mistake nearly every guide about this game makes. Conqueror is where Mochi Pirate sits on its evolution chain. Rarity is a separate property with its own column in Pro Game Guides' unlock and evolution table, and 6 values appear in it: Mythic, Legendary, Epic, Rare, Secret, Exclusive. Mythic turns up independently too, in the reward text of the live code WeLoveUTDZ!, which pays "12 Mythic Etherealization Shards".
The two come apart in ways that cost real currency. A high-rarity unit can sit at its base evolution, and a lower-rarity unit can be fully evolved, and those two units represent completely different investments: one needed luck, the other needed grind. If you read a bracket as a rarity band, you will chase summons when what you needed was evolution material for a unit that has been sitting in your box the whole time.
Not verified yet. We do not print a rarity for Mochi Pirate specifically. The 6 values are sourced and listed above, but we have not transcribed Pro Game Guides' rarity column row by row onto our roster, and a rarity filled in for some units and blank for the rest would imply we had checked all of them. The gap is in our transcription, not in the source: the column is on Pro Game Guides' unlock table today and you can read this unit's row off it yourself.
Where it falls short
The honest downside of Mochi Pirate is not a stat. It is the decision around it. We cannot tell you the wave where its damage stops scaling, because nobody has published its damage and we do not play the game ourselves. We can tell you where the reasoning behind building it tends to go wrong.
It is new, so the meta around it has not settled. Update 4.0 landed in July 2026 and rewrote the top of the roster, and the next patch can do it again. Sinking a full evolution chain into a unit whose placement is a few weeks old is a real risk, and it is one that every tier list on the internet, this one included, is structurally incapable of warning you about.
And the flat one, which applies to every unit on this site: no stats. If you want a damage number to compare Mochi Pirate against the unit you already own, we do not have one, and neither does anybody else who is being straight with you. That is a real cost of refusing to guess, and you should pay it knowingly rather than act on a figure somebody invented.
Where this page comes from
Not verified yet. We do not play this game. Nobody here has launched Mochi Pirate (Conqueror), run it against a wave or timed anything, and no line on this page should be read as if we had. What this page is: the post-Update-4.0 tier placement published by Pro Game Guides and cross-checked against Destructoid, the parody and franchise identification that goes with it, and — where the unit has one — its documented Synchro pairing, attributed on this page to whichever source documents it. Most are Pro Game Guides; the Jane Juliet and Mimicry Sorcerer Clash is Deltia's Gaming. Nothing on it is presented as more certain than the source it came from.
That is a weaker claim than most guides make and it is the only one we can keep. When a source we trust publishes something new about Mochi Pirate — a placement change, a stat block, an acquisition route, a second Clash partner — it lands here with the outlet named, so you can go and check it against the page we took it from.
There is a version of this page that reads better. It has a damage number, a summon rate and a confident line about the best relic. We could write it in ten minutes, every figure in it would be invented, and somebody would spend a week of gems on the strength of it. A stated gap beats a fabricated number, and it is not close.
