Badge Dojo · Lightning 1-1

The Lightning Dojo opens with eight stages on one grid, and every unit on it is a first form. Lineup 1 puts Sparkeet alone at the front of lane 1. In lane 2 sit Cheerling in row 1 and Voltfawn far back in row 4. Lane 3 carries Voltkit in row 1 with Fluffle behind it in row 2.

What makes these stages hard is not the enemies so much as the team. Five base-form units have little health and modest damage, so the board works only if each one does its own job. Three of them stand in the front row, which means every lane meets enemies at the same moment.

The plan is simple. The front row holds and chips at the waves, Cheerling heals and strengthens whoever is near it, and the two back units provide the reach. Voltfawn's spear covers the middle from the back of the board, and Fluffle's clouds cover lane 3.

The following pages go through the five units one at a time, then the weak spots and levels. If you are just starting, this grid is also a good place to learn which of your Lightning units deserve evolving first, because each of them reappears later in a stronger form.
