BOSS
AKU DOGE
Adrift in Fear is the 3rd stage of The Crazed Fish. Previous stage: Ogre Island.
STRATEGY
Fish Hell with Malevolent Island Cats whose Death Surges cover a wide area and stack, plus Metal enemies — but their Aku trait opens them to anti-Aku units.
- Cat Cactus and Cone Cat exploit the Aku trait; Talented Bellydance does worse here because of the Islands' damage per hit and the Metals.
- Surge immunity is heavily advised; failing that, disposable mid-rangers with high damage (Housewife, Cyborg) work with careful cash.
- Do not bring Surge attackers — Counter-Surge from stacked Islands blankets the field; there is no Surge-immune Critical hitter outside Ubers, so the lineup cannot be fully immune.
