22-5 DICTATOR'S GARDEN
22-5 Dictator's Garden is the 5th stage of 22 — Prince of Darkness. Previous stage: 22-4 Torture Room. Next stage: 22-6 Satan's Bedroom.
Dark Emperor Nyandam is Red. Anti-Red units take less damage and deal more.
FISH CAT A Strong Against Red and tanky for the cost — a sturdy anti-Red frontliner. 
ZOMBIE CAT B Strong against Red — 1.5x damage, takes 1/2. Also fits “Clear the crowd.” 
CARPENTER CAT A Resistant to Red — durable against Red attackers. 
APPLE CAT A Freezes Red enemies (100% in True Form). 
MOMOTARO S Freezes Red enemies (area). Also fits “Clear the crowd.” Dark Emperor Nyandam reaches 500 range. Units that out-range it can chip safely without taking hits.
MEDITATION CAT C Range 600 — fires from beyond its 500. 
NERD CAT A Range 1200 — fires from beyond its 500. Also fits “Clear the crowd.” 
BALALUGA S Range 940 — fires from beyond its 500. 
SNIPER THE RECRUIT A Range 1200 — fires from beyond its 500. 
CHILD OF DESTINY PHONO S Range 600 — fires from beyond its 500. 9 enemy types stack up here. Area attackers hit the whole push at once instead of one unit at a time.
ZOMBIE CAT B True Form hits groups with Area attack. Also fits “Counter Red.” 
SALON CAT S Hits whole crowds, and is Weaken-immune so it keeps firing through Weaken stages. NERD CAT A Evolved/True hit groups over a Long Distance band. Also fits “Out-range Dark Emperor Nyandam.” MOMOTARO S Area damage clears Red/Angel groups. Also fits “Counter Red.” 
VALKYRIE CAT A Hits the whole group while it freezes them. Mixed-trait nightmare: Kory + Rain D. + Camelle all at once. Dark Emperor Nyandam appears at low base HP.
The SoL mid-game wall everyone remembers. Kory + Rain D. + Camelle simultaneous; Dark Emperor Nyandam spawns at low base HP. Multi-trait challenge: Anti-Red, Anti-Dark, Anti-Angel all needed. Dancing Flasher is the consensus pick — Anti-Red + Anti-Floating + Crit covers half the roster in one unit. Standard lineup: Dancing Flasher + Bombercat + Bahamut variants + Holy Valkyrie for Gabriel + Wall Cat / iCat (level 30+) for mid-range tank. Common failure: under-leveled mid-range tank. The simultaneous pressure shreds anything under talent investment.
