25-1 VALKYRIE PLAINS
25-1 Valkyrie Plains is the 1st stage of 25 — Scars of War. Next stage: 25-2 Minefield.
First enemy in the game. Very low stats — easily killed by anything; mostly a meatshield in early stages.
A Dark-trait Doge — far stronger and faster than the original. Harmless alone, but spawns in swarms that become dangerous at higher magnifications. Bring anti-Dark hitters.
A fast Angel rusher with very short range (80) that swarms your line. Anti-Angel units and area attackers clear groups of them.
Metal — every non-Critical hit deals just 1 damage, so you need Critical-hit cats (or Metal-slayers) to kill it. Don't ignore it though: it lands a real 2,000 area attack.
Metal Doge is Metal — normal hits do 1 damage; only Critical or Toxic damage gets through.
Critical is a chance, not a guarantee — lead with 100%-crit or Toxic units; low-crit ones are slow backups.
Gabriel is Angel. Anti-Angel units take less damage and deal more.
Doge Dark is Dark. Anti-Dark units take less damage and deal more.
Doge is Traitless. Anti-Traitless units take less damage and deal more.
Metal Doge reaches 120 range. Units that out-range it can chip safely without taking hits.
Escalating boss waves (Doge → Doge Dark → Gabriel → Metal Doge) over a Shibalien swarm.
