Who is Twins in Batomon Showdown?
Twins is a trainer — one of the six that Batomon Showdown’s full-release patch added on September 15, 2026, in the 1.0.0 notes’ one-line introduction: “Added 6 new trainers: Twins, Gentleman, Painter, Burglar, Scavenger and Black Belt.” Like the other five, Twins shipped with no published ability text — and none has been published since. The trainer tier list carries the whole roster’s ratings with their sources; this page is the deep dive on the trainer the community ranks second overall.
What the official record says — two lines and a bugfix
| Source | Official text | What it establishes |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 notes (Sep 15, 2026) | “Added 6 new trainers: Twins, Gentleman, Painter, Burglar, Scavenger and Black Belt” | Twins exists, shipped at full release |
| 1.2.0 notes (Sep 30, 2026) | “Twins now says its copy starts with a sell value of 0” | The ability involves producing a copy of a Batomon, and that copy resells for nothing |
| 1.3.0 notes (Oct 6, 2026) | Bugfix: “the shop’s merge preview saying LV 3 when buying a Swoonet would chain past level 3” | A Swoonet shop interaction is officially real — no trainer named, but see below |
The 1.2.0 line is the load-bearing one. It is official confirmation that Twins’ kit includes copying — and it exists because players were exploiting the ambiguity: the community’s own warning, “make sure you sell the ORIGINAL Batomon, NOT the copy, because the copy sells for 0$ in the shop,” describes exactly the loophole the card text then closed.
What the community says — the board’s #2 trainer
One source carries the ratings: the September trainer board (posted September 22, 2026, the day 1.1.0 dropped), with its comment section folded in:
- The grade: S — “the only trainer I’d claim rivals the Painter.” No comment in the thread disputes the placement.
- The ceiling: the showcase read — “gets you a level 4 quickly,” with “6 multicast” making the duplicated monster’s triggers multiply. Community accounts, unverified in-game.
- The nerf watch: one player predicts a change “to once per run” — as of patch 1.3.0, nothing of the kind has happened.
- The trap: the sell-the-original warning above, now baked into official card text.
Context the board insists on: trainer tiers split by region, and no Twins-specific Pantra/Jinto split surfaced in the thread — unlike Musician (S in Pantra, bottom in Jinto) or Scavenger (the reverse). Twins is one of the board’s few region-neutral grades.
What is still unknown
- Twins’ full ability text — what gets copied, when the copy appears, at what level, and whether the choice is yours. The 1.2.0 line proves the copy mechanic; nothing proves its rules.
- Whether “Twins-Swoonet” is the intended combo or one strong pairing among several — no official text connects them.
- Any measured win-rate impact — no public data exists for any trainer.
Every source used on this page (all checked October 12, 2026)
- Patch 1.0.0 notes (Steam, September 15, 2026): “Added 6 new trainers: Twins, Gentleman, Painter, Burglar, Scavenger and Black Belt” — no ability text.
- Patch 1.2.0 notes (Steam, September 30, 2026): “Twins now says its copy starts with a sell value of 0.”
- Patch 1.3.0 notes (Steam, October 6, 2026): no trainer balance section; the Swoonet merge-preview bugfix quoted above.
- Community thread (September 22, 2026): the General Trainer Tier List board — the S grade, the Painter comparison, the once-per-run prediction and the sell-the-original warning. Community-sourced, not official.
The trainer tier list ranks Twins against the full roster, the Painter guide covers the board’s #1, and the leveling guide explains the level system the “level 4 Swoonet, direct” dream line leans on.
