PARADE OF THE DEAD
Parade of the Dead is the 1st stage of Dead on Debut. Next stage: Prisoner's Progress.
Daboo of the Dead revives at 10% HP after twenty seconds with no limit, so it has to be killed again and again while Angel and Zombie waves push.
- Tanky units carry this one — get past the support waves first, then commit to the boss.
- Its guaranteed ten-second Slow and immunity to Knockback, Freeze, Slow and Weaken mean no control option works on it.
- The support is split between Angel and Zombie, so counters for both earn their slots.
Daboo of the Dead, Zroco, Znache, Zory and Zir Zeal revive after dying — without a Zombie Killer they keep coming back. Bring one to end the loop.
