Badge Dojo · Grass 1-9

With the run nearly done, this page looks at evolutions, since four of the five units here have later forms that the next chapter uses.

The evolved form of Sackling is Jarachnid, which keeps the area bubbles and liquid shield and adds a stun on nearby enemies when the shield breaks. The evolved form of Goonbug is Capobeetle, whose invincible charge also makes enemies fragile. The evolved form of Frugatoad is Frugagon, whose fruit bursts more often and slows what it hits. Stalkerix keeps its role, and Serrabloom is its evolved third form.

Pearpair is the exception. It is already the last form of the Solpear line, so it stays as it is, and it keeps a place in the next chapter's layout as well.

For this run, an evolved unit simply does the same job better in the same cell. A Jarachnid in place of Sackling holds lane 3 longer, and a Frugagon in place of Frugatoad clears the middle faster while slowing enemies on the way in.

If you are choosing between levelling and evolving, evolving the front-right unit and the back-middle unit gives the biggest gain, because those two cells carry the board's weakest point and its main damage.
