How to use Scar (Intl)

Scar is the original Lion King villain in the International Premium Box. His skill clears a horizontal line of Tsums. Fandom says he arrived on International with the Lion King event in February 2017, so he's an old, regular Premium Box Tsum, not a limited one.

The short version:

• Fire him when the board is full side to side. A horizontal clear only takes what's on its path, so a packed middle of the board is where he does the most
• He's cheap to fire. 15 Tsums to activate at every skill level (Fandom and Tsum Tsum Central agree)
• Leveling him is mostly about range. SL6 needs 36 copies in total, and the last step alone is 20 of them. SL5 (16 copies) is a reasonable place to stop if he's not a main Tsum for you

This page is about regular Scar only. Ambitious Scar is a different Tsum with a vertical-line skill (separate guide), and the Scar effect inside the Villains Set works differently too (see below).

The numbers

Fandom and Tsum Tsum Central list the same values, so we treat these as confirmed for International.

	Value
Skill	Clears a horizontal line of Tsum Tsum
Tsums to activate	15
Max skill level	6
Score at level 1	140
Score per level	+17
Score at level 50	973
Copies to SL6	36 total
Box	Premium Box

Skill levels

Skill level	Range	Copies for this step	Running total
1	XS	1 (getting him)	1
2	S	1	2
3	M	2	4
4	L	4	8
5	XL	8	16
6	XXL	20	36

Fandom writes the range in Japanese sizes (SS to 3L) and Tsum Tsum Central uses XS to XXL. They're the same six steps.

Score: catalog corrected

Our own Tsum catalog used to list Scar at base 350, +20 per level. On 2026-10-29 we corrected it to 140 / +17, the same as the two sources above.

Source	Base score	Per level	Level 2 would be
Fandom	140	+17	157
Tsum Tsum Central	140	+17	157
Video card screen (below)	—	—	157 (Level 2)
This site's catalog (corrected 2026-10-29)	140	+17	157

The Tsum card in the MooGaming video shows Level 2, Score 157, which fits 140 + 17. Trust the numbers on your own Tsum card first.

Watch: an SL6 run

If the video doesn't load: Line Disney Tsum Tsum - Scar Gameplay Skill 6 (MooGaming) (February 2017, about 6.5 minutes)

No narration, just one game with Scar at SL6. What we took from it:

• The Tsum card at the start. Level 2, Skill 6/6 MAX, Radius XXL, Score 157. That's the screen we used for the score check above. A level 2 Scar at SL6 also shows how fast copies pile up on an old box Tsum
• How the clear looks. Each activation shows a Scar cut-in, the board goes dark for a moment, and then a big chunk of Tsums disappears at once. At SL6 it's clearly more than one thin row, so firing with the board crowded really does matter
• It's an old game. Recorded in 2017, with items on and a big Fever stretch, ending around 6.35 million. Treat it as a look at the skill, not a score target

We only cover regular Scar here. Updated 10/29: Ambitious Scar now has his own guide, with the numbers we could confirm from in-game screens and the ones that are still Fandom only.

Missions he fits

• Horizontal line / burst skill missions: Fandom files him under horizontal burst skills, and the card text says the same
• Lion King missions: his series
• Villain and male Tsum missions: Fandom lists him in both categories
• Initial S missions: his name

One trap: Fandom notes that Scar doesn't count as a black Tsum, even though his mane is black. That's only from Fandom (unconfirmed), so check the mission's Tsum list before you rely on him.

How to play him

• Wait a beat before firing. After a big chain the board drops in new Tsums. Fire once it refills so the line has something to hit
• Keep the middle crowded. Clear from the top or the sides with regular chains so the middle rows stay packed for his skill
• Low cost means lots of activations. At 15 Tsums he can fire often, which helps in skill-count missions

Fandom also says hyenas show up and clear three curved lines from right to left. That detail is Fandom only, so we haven't counted it as confirmed.
