Badge Dojo · Lightning 1-8

The last stage on this grid is the toughest version of the board, and it is mostly a test of levels.

Every unit in Lineup 1 is a first form, so this stage rewards whatever you have put into them. A sensible order is Cheerling first, since its healing and attack and defence raise reach Sparkeet and Voltkit. Voltfawn comes next, because its piercing spear does most of the killing in the middle. Voltkit follows to keep lane 3 standing, then Sparkeet and Fluffle.

Reading the loss helps. If Cheerling falls early, it needs levels or the middle needs more damage from Voltfawn. If enemies slip through lane 1, Sparkeet is too weak to hold its lane alone. If the right side breaks, check whether Voltkit fell before Fluffle had done much.

Evolving changes this board more than levels do. Sparkeet becomes Buzzbeak, Cheerling becomes Cheerlet, Voltfawn becomes Sparkdoe, Voltkit becomes Voltling and Fluffle becomes Nimbuzzy, and most of those evolved forms are the core of the second chapter. Any evolved form you already own is worth using here as soon as it is ready.

The next two stages change the grid, starting with a second-form guardian in the middle lane.
