Candy Kingdom Defense is a Roblox tower defense game based on Adventure Time. Players can collect different characters, upgrade their abilities, and evolve certain units into stronger forms. Some of the evolutions worth working toward are Alien Jake, King BMO, and Marceline Beast. Each has different abilities, making them useful for different situations.

Alien Jake is especially strong at controlling groups of enemies, while Marceline Beast can deal massive damage to bosses. This guide covers how evolution works, the abilities of these characters, and which units you should prioritize.

How to Get Alien Jake Evolution

To evolve Jake into Alien Jake, you need to collect the required evolution materials. This can take some time, so prepare to spend a while completing activities and farming the items you need.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the evolution menu and select Jake’s evolution.
  2. Check the materials required to unlock Alien Jake.
  3. Complete the activities that reward those materials.
  4. Return to the evolution area once you have collected everything.
  5. Select the evolution option to transform Jake into Alien Jake.

One useful detail is that evolving Alien Jake preserves his existing level and trait. This means you do not have to start leveling him from scratch after completing the evolution.

Alien Jake becomes a Mythic unit after evolving, making him a strong option for players who want to improve their team.

Alien Jake Abilities and Upgrades

Alien Jake is one of the strongest units featured in the gameplay demonstration. His attacks combine multiple hits, area damage, and crowd control.

Regular Jake

Before evolving Jake, he starts with a basic single-target punch. Although this attack is relatively simple, his later upgrades give him more ways to deal with enemies.

His main attacks include:

  • Basic Punch: Deals damage to a single enemy.
  • Hammer Slam: Adds a small area attack that can hit nearby enemies.
  • Hammer Slam Plus: Improves the hammer attack with an additional spin.
  • Stretchy Tornado: Creates a larger attack that can hit enemies across an area.

Regular Jake is a reasonable starting unit for beginners, but his evolved form offers much stronger abilities.

Alien Jake

Alien Jake attacks enemies with a barrage of hits before following up with a circular area attack. This gives him a combination of repeated damage and coverage against multiple targets.

His final evolution, Ampersand Fang, is particularly powerful.

The evolved form gains Venom damage over time, which can continue damaging enemies after the initial attack. Its final upgrade transforms Jake into a giant and creates a black hole that pulls enemies inward.

According to the gameplay demonstration, the fully upgraded unit reached these stats:

  • Damage: approximately 11,000
  • Range: 43
  • Attack coverage: Full AoE
  • Special effects: Pulls enemies together and stops their movement

These numbers were recorded with a level 50 unit and a Quick trait, so results may differ with other builds.

The black hole ability is Alien Jake’s biggest advantage. It groups enemies together and prevents them from moving for a period, allowing other units to attack them more easily.

Using multiple Alien Jakes may extend the time enemies spend under crowd control, although the effect is not necessarily permanent.

How to Get King BMO Evolution

King BMO is another evolved unit featured in the gameplay. Like Alien Jake, you need to collect the required materials before unlocking his stronger form.

Open the evolution menu, select King BMO’s evolution, and check the items you need. Then complete the relevant activities until you have enough materials to evolve him.

King BMO Abilities

King BMO starts with a single-target attack and gains stronger abilities as you upgrade him.

His later attacks include Controller Combo and Guardians of Sunshine. The latter features characters such as Finn and Jake in a large area attack.

After evolving into King BMO, his abilities become more powerful and include multi-hit attacks that can follow enemies. His Ultimate Adventure ability also summons Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, Finn, and Jake.

The gameplay demonstration showed King BMO reaching approximately 10,000 damage, with an attack speed of around 5.4 seconds at the displayed upgrade level. The unit could also be placed twice on the field.

King BMO has strong damage potential, but Alien Jake may be more useful when you need to stop enemies from advancing. His ability to pull enemies together gives him an advantage in crowd control.

How to Get Marceline Beast Evolution

Marceline can also be evolved into Marceline Beast by collecting the required evolution materials.

The process is similar to evolving Jake and King BMO:

  1. Open the evolution menu.
  2. Select Marceline’s evolution.
  3. Check the required materials.
  4. Complete the activities needed to obtain them.
  5. Return to the evolution area and unlock Marceline Beast.

Gathering the materials may take several hours, depending on your progress and how quickly you obtain the required items.

Regular Marceline Abilities

Regular Marceline begins with a single-target attack. Her later upgrades provide more useful area damage and crowd control.

Her attacks include:

  • Basic Attack: Deals damage to one enemy.
  • Area Attack: Allows her to move forward into enemies while dealing damage.
  • Crimson Ring Attack: Sends rings through enemies, damaging targets along their path.

The ring attack is especially useful against groups because it can damage enemies as they move through its path.

Marceline Beast Abilities

Marceline Beast has a different role from Alien Jake. Rather than focusing mainly on stopping groups, she is particularly useful for dealing with powerful enemies and bosses.

Her showcased abilities include:

  • Talon Dive: A fast attack that deals approximately 3,000 damage in the demonstration.
  • Bat Swarm: Another attack in her upgraded moveset.
  • Drink the Red: A powerful attack that reached approximately 40,000 damage in the showcased gameplay.

Drink the Red is the main reason Marceline Beast stands out as a boss killer. It can deal substantial damage to a single powerful target, making her useful when facing bosses such as Storm Demon.

If your team struggles to defeat bosses before they reach the end of the path, Marceline Beast is worth considering.

Which Evolution Should You Get First?

If you are deciding which character to evolve first, your choice should depend on what your team needs most.

1. Alien Jake – Best for Crowd Control

Alien Jake is the recommended first choice if you want a unit that can handle groups of enemies. His black hole pulls enemies together and stops them from moving, giving your other units more time to deal damage.

His combination of area damage and crowd control makes him useful in many situations.

2. Marceline Beast – Best for Boss Damage

Choose Marceline Beast if you need more damage against bosses. Her Drink the Red ability can deal around 40,000 damage in the demonstrated build, making her a strong option for taking down high-health targets.

She works well alongside units that can slow or hold enemies in place.

3. King BMO – Strong Multi-Hit Attacks

King BMO is another option if you want powerful attacks that can hit multiple enemies. His Ultimate Adventure ability summons several Adventure Time characters, adding to the visual impact and damage of his attacks.

However, if you must choose between King BMO and Alien Jake for general use, Alien Jake’s crowd control may offer more utility for your team.


Alien Jake, King BMO, and Marceline Beast are three evolutions worth working toward in Candy Kingdom Defense. Each has a different strength, so choosing the right one depends on the enemies you need to defeat.

Alien Jake is the recommended priority for crowd control and area damage, while Marceline Beast is a strong choice for boss fights. King BMO also offers powerful multi-hit attacks and a unique summoning ability.

Start by collecting the required evolution materials, then upgrade the units that best fit your team’s needs. With the right combination of damage and crowd control, you will be better prepared for tougher stages.
