Steamscuttle — Twice-Cut Tempo Piece in Batomon Showdown (1.2.0-1.3.0)

What did the official patch notes say about Steamscuttle?

The shortest official trail on this site: one stat, two cuts, one quote.

The 1.2.0 entry is unannotated: half a second added, no reasoning printed. Six days later the second cut arrived with the annotation most monsters never get.

What two straight cuts tell you

The pattern differs from the other double-touched Jinto monsters in one useful way. Cinnabark’s over-cut got reverted and Dollhime’s got partially restored — both corrections arrived when the developer re-read its own nerf wave. Steamscuttle’s second cut instead doubled down, adding another half second six days after the first, with popularity named as the reason. Neither 1.3.0’s other Jinto moves nor any later note has given any of it back.

Read as evidence: Steamscuttle was a cheap, fast tempo piece widespread enough to draw the developer’s attention within two weeks of its first appearance, and the tuning so far has moved in one direction only. What the record cannot say is whether 3.5 seconds is where it settles — the developer plans balance patches roughly every two weeks, and the gameVersion badge at the top of this page says which patch these numbers describe.

What is still unknown

• Steamscuttle’s cost, attack, health and ability text — the Cooldown is the only card line on official record, printed without level qualifiers.
• What it actually does in battle — no store screenshot, devlog or patch note describes the kit.
• Any measured performance — no win-rate data exists for any monster, and no community thread on this site’s record argues Steamscuttle by name either way.

The monster list files Steamscuttle under the Jinto pool, the best teams overview tracks the tempo engines both cuts aimed at, and the Batomon tier list keeps the 1.3.0 annotation in its patch record next to Boomagon’s, the only other official popularity callout.
