Claw Stars Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Restore Life on All Planets Throughout the Galaxy

1. Position The Ship Carefully Before Lowering The Claw

While playing Claw Stars you’ll be spending the bulk of your time in the so-called Claw Zone, an abandoned area filled with all kinds of items. The main goal is to lower the claw you have attached to your spaceship in order to get to the colored orbs hiding down below.

You can use the paw-shaped lever to move the spacecraft left and right in the environment. When it’s finally time to send the claw to dig through the rubble, just press on the large purple button underneath. By default, you have 24 claws at your disposal and each time you attempt to extract an item you will spend one of them, and so on until you run out.

Once there are no more claws in your inventory, you’ll have to take a break and wait until they get restored. It works very much in the same way as energy does in other mobile games. Basically, your gameplay is sustained by the amount of claws you have at your disposal.

Given that it takes quite a while for your claws to fully get restored, you’ll normally be able to play Claw Stars only a few times a day. Unless you’re lucky and you uncover a few extra claws hidden in the orbs that can supplement your supply.

Due to the scarcity of claws, it’s important that each time you lower one into the zone you are able to grab something of value. Basically you shouldn’t just aim them randomly. Make sure you position yourself properly before sending the claw in for a dig. Target a particular piece and maneuver the spaceship in the right position before attempting to grab it.

Sometimes the outcome might not be always as expected, but that’s alright, try and learn from your mistakes so as to improve your chances of grabbing the item you want from the first try.  Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world if you can’t catch an orb or a capsule. You’ll still be able to collect some resources, for example, small nuggets of gold which can be turned into cash.

2. Prioritize Getting The Orbs And Capsules Out First

The pile of junk in the Claw Zone contains lots of different items. The most common ones are the little golden pieces that can be turned into money when removed. However, the best way to sustain a decent progression in this game is to prioritize grabbing the Blue orbs. These are elements that might contain the creatures you have to rescue.

Each planet is home to a number of species and you need to find and release them all before you can move on to the next one. In addition, you’ll also have to invest some of the gold coins you’ve accumulated by scavenging in the Claw Zone to restore the buildings that have been destroyed on each planet.

Anyway, the blue orbs can sometimes contain the creatures you are seeking, but that’s will not always be the case. More often than not, they come bearing other gifts, including:

Bomby Worm: A power-up that when dropped back in the pile will blow up surrounding stones and reveal Ores that can be then collected. Unfortunately, the Bomby Worm can only be dropped from the position where you first lowered the claw from. It’s not possible to move somewhere else and use the Worm to clear away another area – for instance, one that’s richer in Ore. Nevertheless, it’s a pretty useful tool that clears away most of the rubble and allows you to get quick access to better elements.

Oxygen: Oxygen is a resource that allows you to level up Boosters. In Claw Stars, Boosters are actually little cute animals, each with their own unique powers. For example, Harry is a Blockade Booster who can improve the amount of blockade rewards you get.

Rubies: Rubies are a type of premium resource that can come quite handy in the game. For one, it can buy additional claws, although we don’t recommend spending in this direction all too often. Instead, make it a point to conserve your Rubies as much as possible, and put them to good use only in cases where you feel like you really want to continue playing.

DNA: You can uncover pieces of DNA from time to time. Grab enough and you’ll be able to create new forms of life aka Boosters. These creatures also have special powers in the sense that they can help you boost your earnings. Just make sure you don’t forget to feed them Ice Cream in order to activate them.

Blue orbs aren’t the only ones that can contain creatures. At the bottom of the junk pile you might notice a bunch of colorful orbs that are almost half buried into the ground. Get to them and you might be able to uncover the missing animal from the collection you’re trying to complete.

In addition, you’ve probably noticed there a bunch of Purple capsules scattered around the Claw Zone. These can contain a lot of goodies, some of which can trigger actions. Others will reveal cards instead. We’ve compiled a list of the most common ones below, as to give you a better idea of what you can uncover:

Kidnap Cage: When you draw a Kidnap cage it will trigger an action. You’ll travel to another player’s planet and kidnap one of their creatures in exchange for ransom. Simply tap on the animal you want to steal and you’ll get your hands on a nice sum of gold.

Drone: Drones are rare birds which you can occasionally stumble upon while cracking open capsules. They offer protection for you creatures in case your habitat gets invaded by random players looking to snatch an animal or two. You can have up to 3 drones patrolling at the same time, but unfortunately these flying mini robots don’t pop up as often as we’d like.

Blockade: The Blockade gives you another option to raid others. This time, instead of targeting a player’s creature, it goes after their buildings. Select a building and drop a fence on it to block it and get a reward consisting of gold coins. Don’t worry if the structure has been targeted by someone else before, you can stack up several blockades on top of a building, no problem. You’ll still get your reward.

Hacking Pod: You won’t dig out the Hacking Pod all that often, but when you do, it’s definitely going to be worth it. With the Hacking Pod, you can steal almost all the cash another player has accumulated. You have to play a mini game where you have to select and tap on 3 terminals out of the 5 that appear on screen. But be careful, you don’t want to choose the malfunctioning one or else you won’t be able collect as much coins.

Extra Claws: Purple capsules might contain extra claws, but they are quite scarce. You’ll stumble upon one of these rare jewels from time to time, so don’t put too many of your hopes in finding such items. Most of the times, you’ll just have to wait for the claws to refill naturally over time in order to get digging again.

Style Tokens: Style tokens allow you to purchase new looks for your super clever hamsters. You can get a style each day for free, but otherwise you’ll need to pay in tokens OR Rubies. If you have enough Style Tokens go ahead and spend them, if not we don’t really encourage you to spend these scanty gems on something like outfits. Apart from the visual variation they provide, new styles don’t do anything to improve the scavenging abilities of your hamsters.

Fool Stone: Play a prank by sending someone a Fool Stone wrapped in the package of a capsule. You can get a few extra Ore pieces.

Additionally, cracking open Purple capsules like that can also reveal cards. These can provide additional tools to help you enhance your gameplay. For example, the Electric Shield allows you to free from a Blockade for 3 times. Other cards you might stumble upon include:

Coins Replicator: 3x Coins multiplier for 5 Claws.

Meaty Ore: Drops several large Ore particles for you to collect.

Ruby Rain: Drops a bundle of Rubies in your junk yard.

These cards are not limited to the Purple capsules, you can also find them in the large Green spheres, so don’t shy away from getting one when you have the chance.  Another interesting card which you only got by drawing a Green sphere is the X-Ray card. This allows you to visualize where a creature is hiding, so you can head straight to the target.

There is additional stuff you can find in these orbs and capsules. For example, you might stumble upon an Astro Key which is a card that allows you to spin a wheel and win prizes consisting of coins and Rubies.

Other stuff you can fish out from the pile of junk are Gold balls. These are large golden nuggets that provide an extra cash infusion. You can’t have too many coins in Claw Stars, so if you’re ever in need of extra money don’t hesitate to pick up on of these balls.

3. Use Ore To Build A Giant Claw

We’ve talked about Ore a little bit in the previous section, but what we didn’t tell you is that it can be used to create a Giant claw. You’ll need a mega claw like this in order to pick up those Jumbo piggy capsules you’ve probably noticed in the pile of junk.  These items can unlock substantial rewards.

You have to collect 30 pieces of Ore to forge the Giant claw. Look for the brown stones in your junk yard and don’t hesitate to send your claw for them. Additionally, if you’re lucky you might draw a capsule containing the Meaty ore card which drops several larger Ore pieces (5 units each). This card helps you create a Giant claw in no time, but in most cases it will take time to make one, so be patient.

It can get frustrating seeing how you’re unable to pick up these much larger spheres immediately, but you’ll eventually get there. Rewards that hide in these Jumbo capsules are much larger than what you’d get with the normal sized-ones. For example, it’s possible to get a 4x Hacking Pod which will produce 4x times more coins when activated.

Jumbo capsules are annoying because they can restrict access to some items underneath, which is why it’s important that you work towards crafting those big claws. Don’t neglect Ore. While rewards for gathering this resource are certainly not as glamorous, the resource has an important purpose to fill in the Claw Stars universe.

4. Don’t Store Too Much Gold (At First)

Having a lot of gold is a good thing in Claw Stars, but storing it and leaving the game – not so much. Every time you run out of claws and need to take a break, make sure you invest what you’ve accumulated before you leave. You’ll want to try and pour funds into the upgrading of buildings, of course. While you’re visiting your Habitat, check to see if any of your animals have been kidnapped or blockades have been dropped.

You could use the money you’ve accumulated to pay the ransom notes and to unblock the constructions. The reason why we’re telling you to drain your resources before you go is to prevent other players from raiding your planet while you’re gone and leave with all the cash you left behind.

There are no means to really protect your buildings from assaults. If you happen to have a few drones patrolling around that should keep your animals should safe from abductors who will only receive a small sum for their kidnapping efforts. But the constructions can’t be secured against invaders.

Additionally, other players playing the Hacking Pod mini game will be able to tap into your gold reserve. If you don’t want to lose important sums of cash, it’s a good idea to spend most of what you’ve accumulated and only then exit the game.
