Badge Dojo · Grass 1-1

The Grass Dojo opens with a ten-stage run on one grid, and the layout puts a blocker at the head of every lane. Pearpair holds row 1 of lane 1. Stalkerix holds row 1 of the middle, with Frugatoad far behind it in row 4. Sackling holds row 1 of lane 3, with Goonbug right behind it in row 2.

That front row is the whole idea. Enemies meet a unit in every lane the moment they arrive, so nothing walks through an empty column, and the backline has time to work.

Each lane has a different character. The left is pure defence. The middle pairs a front-line attacker with the board's main ranged damage. The right is a small brawling team, with Sackling's area bubbles and Goonbug's invincible dashes.

The units are a mix of first and second forms, so the run is built for an early roster. The following pages take the units one at a time, then look at the weak spots, levels and evolutions. A good habit for the whole run is to keep the front three roughly level with each other, since a lane that breaks early sends its enemies into the next one.
