The pre-Dark-Hole warmup. Nimoy Bore as boss (160k HP, 1,799 AP area, 100% Knockback) with a heavy supporting cast: Doge Dark, One Horn, Gabriel, Heavenly Hippoe, Mooth. Row 1 restriction. r/battlecats's read: 'if you're testing a Mystery Mask lineup, test it here first. 1-46 Andromeda is more honest than 1-47 Black Hole — same enemy archetypes, no triple-boss surprise.' Lineup (Row 1 only): Knockback-Immune frontline (Bombercat, Crazed Cow with Talent) → Anti-Alien + Anti-Red Uber backline (Lumina, Mighty Reza) → A. Bahamut for Nimoy Bore burst. Common failure: ignoring Gabriel and Heavenly Hippoe in the wave mix. They're Angel-trait peons that survive Anti-Alien hits — bring at least one general-purpose damage Uber alongside.
