Badge Dojo · Water 3-5

This stage is a demanding one. The very same team has cleared this stage and also failed it, so luck and level differences matter more than usual, and stronger second forms are welcome.

Lineup 1 puts Skinklet in row 1 of lane 1 with Maskfry in row 4 behind it, Frostique alone in row 2 of the middle, and Swaystroll in row 2 of lane 3 with Cribbler behind it in row 3.

The risk is Frostique's cell. On earlier grids it threw from row 4; here it stands in row 2 and row 1 of the middle is empty, so its slowing ice and fragments hit sooner but it is exposed. Swaystroll to its right and Skinklet ahead on the left take some of the pressure, but enemies that come straight down the middle reach Frostique quickly.

The other two lanes are set to protect it. Here, Skinklet in row 1 meets enemies first on the left, and Maskfry at the back of lane 1 pulls groups toward it. On the right, Cribbler behind Swaystroll adds claw swipes on whatever the shield holds.

One alternative instead uses Cribbler with Ripplewing in lane 1, Capypapa in row 3 of the middle, and Swaystroll with Frostique in lane 3, which puts a healer back on the board. Another alternative is the Sealing and Dazopus layout from the previous grid.
