AKU'S MELODY

Possessed Empress is Aku. Anti-Aku units take less damage and deal more.

BOWLER CAT A Rare Also slows Aku enemies, a handy specialist pick for early Aku Realms stages. BRAINWASHED COW CAT A Super Rare Curses Aku enemies, shutting off their abilities. LUCIFER THE FALLEN S Uber Rare Strong against Aku enemies. Also fits “Out-range Possessed Empress.” MAIZE CAT A Rare Resistant to Aku — durable against Aku attackers. NYMPH CAT A Super Rare True Form knocks back Aku enemies.

Possessed Empress reaches 520 range. Units that out-range it can chip safely without taking hits.

MEDITATION CAT C Special Range 600 — fires from beyond its 520. NERD CAT A Super Rare Range 1200 — fires from beyond its 520. Also fits “Clear the crowd.” CHILD OF DESTINY PHONO S Uber Rare Range 600 — fires from beyond its 520.
