Badge Dojo · Lightning 3-5

This stage has a layout known as a fix for anyone who keeps losing here. Lineup 1 puts Voltling at the head of lane 1 with Sparkdoe in row 3, Cheerlet alone in row 2 of the middle, and Blitzmane at the head of lane 3 with Boltskipper in row 3.

The interesting placement is Cheerlet. Instead of standing in front, it sits back in row 2 of the empty middle, between the two front units. From there its dance reaches Voltling and Blitzmane together, healing both, raising their attack and defence, and saving whichever is about to fall first. The middle front cell is open, so enemies coming down lane 2 meet Cheerlet's dance before anything else.

The two wings mirror each other. Each has a front unit that controls enemies, Voltling with paralysis and Blitzmane with its shove, and a damage unit in row 3 behind it. Sparkdoe's spear covers the left and Boltskipper's binding orb covers the right.

In one alternative, Zapooch stands in row 1 of lane 1, Blitzmane moves to the middle and Voltling to lane 3, with Synthhog behind it and Sparkdoe in row 4 of the middle. A deeper alternative starts everyone in row 2 or 3, with Nimbuzzy in row 3 of lane 1.
