Squidbob TentaclePants (often referred to simply as Squidbob) is an exclusive Prismatic rarity unit in SpongeBob Tower Defense on Roblox, developed by Krabby Krew. Known as one of the most cursed character fusions in Bikini Bottom, it delivers splash damage attacks alongside unique activated abilities. Unlike standard summonable units, Squidbob primarily serves as a high-tier collection benchmark tied directly to the game's unit collection index.
Squidbob TentaclePants Base Stats and Combat Profile
Squidbob TentaclePants attacks using splash-radius projectile throws and features two custom activated abilities: Blasting Fuse Symphony and Shock Factor.
| Metric / Configuration | Observed Value | Source & Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Rarity | Prismatic | Official Game Index |
| Attack Type | Splash Area-of-Effect (AoE) | In-game showcase testing |
| Base Level 1 Damage (No Items/Pets) | 12,000,000 to 50,000,000 per 0.1 SPA | Test server display / raw unlock base |
| Mid-Game Base Stats (Level 50/100) | 41,000,000 to 213,000,000 | Lobby inspect and boss run logs |
| Fully Upgraded In-Match (Standard) | 383,000,000 to 388,800,000 damage, 0 SPA, 343–353 range | Max match upgrade on high-tier variant |
| Maxed Superstar with Pet Multipliers | 64,500,000 to 111,000,000+ base lobby | Showcased with Sea Bear & top-tier relics |
Squidbob's base damage scaling varies depending on whether players inspect the unit in the lobby or inside an active match. Within endless runs, its attack interval hits the 0 to 0.1-second Seconds Per Attack (SPA) threshold when maxed, allowing it to rapidly carpet groups of enemies within its splash perimeter.
Applying the Hydrodynamic Spatula relic pushes its baseline damage even higher, shifting base lobby values from 64.5 million up to 66 million prior to pet stacking.
How to Get Squidbob in SpongeBob Tower Defense
Obtaining Squidbob TentaclePants requires significant index completion or trading on the Flying Dutchman ship:
- Unit Encyclopedia Index Reward: The baseline Prismatic Squidbob unlocks by completing unit index collections. Earlier builds rewarded the unit upon registering up to 1,000 index units/variants, while reaching higher thresholds (such as 1,200 variants) remains targeted for higher-tier variants.
- Trading: Players can trade for clean or leveled Squidbobs on the Flying Dutchman trading ship once reaching account level 15. Because of its index requirement, clean serial numbers command substantial trade value.
- Fusing into Superstar: Upgrading Squidbob into a Superstar version requires combining multiple 5-star Squidbobs. Because Prismatic units cannot utilize low-tier star potions freely, players traditionally have had to acquire 25 or more regular copies to star them up and fuse them into a single Superstar.
Endless Mode Performance vs. Boss Battles
Community testing shows varying results when taking Squidbob TentaclePants into different game modes:
Endless Mode Utility
In Endless Mode runs (such as Conch Street Endless), Squidbob performs reliably as a frontline splash damage dealer. Because its attacks hit in an area rather than single-target or narrow line paths, it excels at softening up dense enemy swarms during high-wave pushes.
In controlled Endless comparisons against other Prismatics like Ringmaster Mudcrab, Snow Sponge, and Sticky Fins:
- Squidbob logged upwards of 105 billion to 120 billion total damage during wave 1,000+ pushes when upgraded alongside other Prismatics.
- Its total splash footprint matches other top splash dealers like Ringmaster Mudcrab, offering dependable coverage around track bends.
- While it dishes out immense volume, players attempting deep Endless runs still require slowing support—such as Dream Gary—to prevent fast boss leaks like the Dirty Bubble from wiping the base.
Boss Battles
Squidbob's performance in isolated Boss Battles is somewhat lower than dedicated single-target options:
- In test comparisons against Ringmaster Mudcrab at equal levels, Ringmaster defeated the stage boss roughly four seconds faster than Squidbob.
- Single-target boss killers (such as Hans or specialized single-target burst towers) clear single boss phases more quickly because Squidbob's stat balance is tuned toward multi-target splash pressure.
Meta Placement and Tier Ranking
Across various community tier lists, Squidbob TentaclePants has been placed in tiers such as C-Tier or viewed as a collector's unit among Prismatic towers:
- Strengths: True circular splash damage prevents it from suffering the drawbacks of linear AoE (line splash) towers. It attacks at high speeds and can carry late-game waves when paired with damage-boosting relics and top-tier pets like Snail Fail or Clam.
- Weaknesses: High upgrade costs during matches make it difficult to max early on without reliable money farms. In addition, its steep barrier to entry—requiring deep index completion—makes it harder to obtain and superstar than common meta alternatives like SpongeBoy or Sanitation Robot.
While newer Divines and event-exclusive Prismatics sometimes post higher paper numbers, Squidbob remains a premier endgame collector unit and a powerful splash anchor for players who have filled out their collection index.

How do you unlock the base Squidbob unit?
The base Prismatic Squidbob is unlocked as a milestone reward in the game's Unit Index by logging the required number of distinct unit variants across your collection (starting at the 1,000-unit milestone). It can also be acquired through player-to-player trading on the Flying Dutchman pirate ship once you reach player level 15.
What are Squidbob's custom abilities?
Squidbob features two custom activated abilities: Blasting Fuse Symphony (a musical attack that strikes targets with musical notes) and Shock Factor (an electrical AoE shock animation).
