PRISONER'S PROGRESS
Prisoner's Progress is the 2nd stage of Dead on Debut. Previous stage: Parade of the Dead. Next stage: March to Death.
An exact copy of Parade of the Dead, except every unit must cost 1,200¢ or more — cheap meatshields are simply illegal here.
- That forces expensive units: Ubers, heavy tanks, and suicide attackers like Titan Cat and Bahamut Cat.
- Anti-Angel and anti-Zombie abilities both matter, since the support is split between the two.
- Daboo of the Dead still revives without limit, so the fight is still an attrition race.
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.
