THE DEVIL'S RHYTHM

Possessed Empress
BOSS
POSSESSED EMPRESS

The Devil's Rhythm is the 2nd stage of Temptation's Symphony. Previous stage: Aku's Melody. Next stage: Symphony of Bankruptcy.

STRATEGY

Even with Specials and Ubers as the only options, this is the easiest stage in the Temptation's Symphony set if you own the right two or three units.

  • Ancient Egg: N004 survives the restriction and still dismantles the stage.
  • A talented Cats in a Box shreds both the Shadow Boxer Ks and the Doge Darks.
  • A talented Sumo Cat works well as the meatshield, and Ancient Egg: N003 covers the Aku enemies.
