Fast answer
Read this firstBest short answer
Scout first bomb lane: identify the common throw lines and deny them with spacing. Assign one unit as the dedicated bomb-clear responder (ranged chip preferred).
Biggest mistakes
- •Ending a round with multiple lit bombs on the board: the detonation chain deletes backline health bars.
- •Clumping in a line: bomb cross-lines punish “stack behind tank” formations.
- •Committing burst right before Turtle/Invincible: you lose the damage window and still eat the detonation.
How you actually win
- •You can remove/defuse each bomb fast enough that bombs never stack (keep the board at ≤1 live bomb).
- •Your formation ensures any single bomb detonation hits at most one unit.
- •You enter Turtle timing with bombs cleared or with a safe lane prepared.

- •Your formation ensures any single bomb detonation hits at most one unit.
- •You enter Turtle timing with bombs cleared or with a safe lane prepared.
Positioning rules
- •Never end turn with two cats sharing a bomb cross-line lane.
- •Keep 2+ tiles spacing unless you are certain no bomb can detonate before you act again.
- •If a bomb is reachable, prioritize bomb HP over boss HP unless you have guaranteed lethal.
- •Avoid fighting with your team pinned to walls/objects that reduce dodge lanes.
Tempo plan
Opener (rounds 1–2)
- •Scout first bomb lane: identify the common throw lines and deny them with spacing.
- •Assign one unit as the dedicated bomb-clear responder (ranged chip preferred).
Midfight (stabilize)
- •Play a strict bomb budget: at most one lit bomb may survive your team’s action block.
- •Assume tempo disadvantage due to Bonus Turns—hold a defensive/mobility answer for chained turns.
Finisher (close safely)
- •Don’t dump all burst if Turtle is imminent; finish after invincibility ends.
- •Before killing, clear bombs so the phase change doesn’t chain-detonate.
