GHOST KING III
BOSS
KAPPY KAWANO
Ghost King III is the 3rd stage of Invasion of the Swamplord. Previous stage: Ghost King II. Next stage: Ghost King Finale.
STRATEGY
Raynard snipes from 1,700 range and the Red EnerGs add their own Surges on top of Kawano's — Surge immunity matters more here than anywhere else in the map.
- Talented Boogie Cat and Rocker Cat both work as meatshields under that pressure.
- The plan is simply to chip Kawano down between the infinite peon waves.
- Can Can Cat, Pizza Cat and Courier Cat are each good at containing one of the supporting threats.
