Badge Dojo · Water 2-8

The grid reshapes around the middle lane here. Lineup 1 puts Skinklet alone in row 1 of lane 1; the middle has Swaystroll in row 1, Cribbler in row 2 and Frostpaw in row 4; and Maskfry stands alone in row 2 of lane 3.

The middle column is the new idea. Swaystroll leads it, so the board's tank now faces the centre, where enemies from both sides tend to drift. Cribbler stands directly behind, ready to take over if the shield breaks and adding its claw swipes to the same groups, and Frostpaw in row 4 slows and fragments everything coming down the lane.

Maskfry on the right is set up differently from earlier stages. It no longer stands behind Cribbler, so its waves pull enemies toward the middle column instead, gathering them where Swaystroll's crystals and Frostpaw's fragments land.

Skinklet holds the left alone in row 1. It meets enemies first, and its invisibility after taking damage keeps it from dying early, but lane 1 has nothing behind it.

In the recorded alternative, row 1 fills with Ospisces, Cribbler and Swaystroll, Bubbit stands in row 4 of lane 1, and Frostique replaces Frostpaw at the back of the middle.
