Boss Challenge · Dean Zobo

Manager Zobo's skill removes a unit from your board, so the lineup is built to hand it a cheap target.

Lineup 1 puts Charflutter in row 1 of lane 1 with Sulfunk in row 3. Lane 2 has Hellhound in row 1, Hyphoria in row 2 and Waveflutter in row 3. Lane 3 acts as the long column: Serrabloom in row 1, Pyroprawn in row 2, Azurion in row 3, Flameow in row 4 and Tideon in row 5. Lane 4 has Lickflicker in row 1, Cheerspring in row 2, Sonarbat in row 3 and Solaflora in row 4, and Cindermunk stands alone in row 3 of lane 5.

Serrabloom at the head of lane 3 is the unit to protect. Its repeated strikes hit a small area and make enemies fragile, which keeps the board's damage up.

Waveflutter is the other key piece. From row 3 of lane 2 it throws water bombs that slow and can put enemies to sleep, and it lends that sleep to the allies right next to it. A sleeping boss cannot fire its skill, which is why Waveflutter is the one unit that needs its third form; the rest of the board works with second forms. As the sleep partner beside it, Pyroprawn or Tideon beats a Droppit substitute.

Without a third-form Waveflutter there is no sleep, so the plan becomes giving up a substitute from the Clucky line to trigger the skill while Serrabloom stays safe.

As the replacement in Lickflicker's cell, a fourth-form Poakie comes first, then Cribking, then Lickflicker itself, then Zappur. Embertail can replace Cindermunk. Hellhound and Hyphoria are the evolutions worth building first.
