Stage teams 8-10

Ask around about 8-10 and everyone names the same support, the evolved Cheerling that Lineup 1 runs as Cheerlet. One player said they had yet to see an underlevelled clear without it, and their advice for anyone missing it was to take Ashlarva to T2 as a substitute and save up. Here it sits in the middle of lane 3 between Swaystroll and Frostpaw, where its healing, attack and defence boosts and its emergency invincibility keep the penguin's shield up long enough to charge a real burst.

The two right lanes do the controlling. Lane 4 lines up Turtuff in front handing out Shell Shields, Droppit's mist slowing behind it and Capypapa healing from the back. Lane 5 pairs Electroar's knockback with Maskfry's pull, so enemies get shoved and dragged around while Sparkdoe's lance pierces them.

Lane 1 serves as a four-unit wall of Snoozebo, Cobbledon, Stalkerix and Frugagon. Pyrohound and Ignisnap alone hold lane 2; Kitjitsu or Pyropup have replaced Pyrohound, and Azurion has replaced Ignisnap. From 7-80, the visible change is Maskfry replacing Boldclaw in lane 5.
