Read this first

Main idea

Spread out immediately; treat straight lanes as danger zones. Identify where collisions will be worst (walls, heavy objects) and rotate away.

Biggest mistakes

Starting turns adjacent: Uppercut triggers and breaks your formation immediately.
Lining up units: Chain knockback turns one hit into multiple collisions.

Winning line

You stay non-adjacent at the start of enemy turns to deny free Uppercuts.
You keep lanes clear so knockback doesn’t slam units into walls/objects.

Decision-first notes

Win conditions

You stay non-adjacent at the start of enemy turns to deny free Uppercuts. You keep lanes clear so knockback doesn’t slam units into walls/objects. You survive cleanly until the round-4 death trigger (or kill earlier if you can).

Opener

Spread out immediately; treat straight lanes as danger zones.
Identify where collisions will be worst (walls, heavy objects) and rotate away.

Midfight

Chip safely while maintaining spacing; don’t trade formation for damage.
Use mobility to reset after knockback sequences.

Finisher

If you’re stable, prioritize survival; round-4 death ends the threat.
If you’re unstable, spend defensives to avoid a chain collision wipe.

Positioning & loadout

Run killers, positioning rules, and setup reminders.

▾

Run killers

Starting turns adjacent: Uppercut triggers and breaks your formation immediately.
Lining up units: Chain knockback turns one hit into multiple collisions.
Panicking about the timer and clumping: you die to control before round 4 ends.

Positioning rules

End your turn at least 1 tile away to avoid adjacency triggers.
Never stack two cats behind each other in a wall lane—chain knockback will farm you.
Keep your squishiest unit away from edges/objects that amplify collisions.
If you must be near, stagger diagonally to reduce chain value.
