The grid is the same once more, and this page looks at Synthhog in row 2 of lane 2, the specialist behind Voltling.

Synthhog marks enemies across a wide area so they are scouted and fragile, and the marked enemies take damage when the mark runs out. It does little damage directly. Its value is that every other unit hits marked enemies harder, and the burst at the end of each mark adds a little extra on top.

The cell explains the mark's reach. From row 2 of the middle lane, Synthhog sits close to both lanes in use, and a wide-area mark covers the enemies in front of Voltling and those coming down lane 1 toward Electroar. Sparkdoe's spear, in particular, gains a lot from enemies being fragile.

This stage has more recorded alternatives than any other page on the grid. In one alternative, only Electroar remains in lane 1, Cheerlet moves to row 1 of the middle with Surgehoof in row 2, and Zapooch stands in row 1 of lane 3 with Sparkdoe in row 2. Another alternative moves Electroar to row 3 of lane 3 behind Zapooch and Sparkdoe, and a further variant uses Hippiehog, the evolved form of Cavyzap, in place of Surgehoof. Those alternatives give up Synthhog and Voltling for a full front row, which suits teams with Zapooch.
