Badge Dojo · Lightning 3-1

The third chapter changes the grid on almost every stage, and it is built around the first third form of the Lightning Dojo. Lineup 1 fills the front row: Surgehoof in row 1 of lane 1 with Sparkdoe behind it, Blitzmane in row 1 of lane 2 with Cheerlet behind it, and Voltling in row 1 of lane 3.

Blitzmane is the unit to understand for the whole chapter. It is the third form of the Zappur line, the evolved form of Electroar. It sends out a charged wave that hits an area and shoves enemies back, and it raises the damage dealt by allies standing close to it. In the middle of the front row, it has Surgehoof and Voltling on either side and Cheerlet directly behind, so its damage boost reaches the whole front.

Surgehoof is the other notable choice. It fires a shock wave that splashes onto nearby enemies, with more splashes against Water enemies, and as a damage unit at the front it relies on Blitzmane's shove and Cheerlet's healing.

In one alternative, Synthhog stands in row 2 of lane 1, Boltskipper in row 3 of the middle and Sparkdoe in row 2 of lane 3. Another alternative moves Blitzmane to the head of lane 1 and puts Nekowatt at the front of lane 3.
