Devilish Strides is the 3rd stage of The Crazed Gross. Previous stage: Muscle Party.
STRATEGY
Malevolent Macho Legs has 100% Surge uptime with Surges stacking on each other — an almost entirely Surge-immune lineup is required, and money is extremely tight.
- Meatshields: talented Gato Amigo, Cactus Cat, Cone Cat (not Surge-immune but very tanky against Aku); attackers: Awakened Doron, Awakened Naala, Jagando or other Surge-immune Ubers.
- Li'l King Dragon is a must as one of the few spammable Surge-immune attackers, and answers the Sir Rels' pushing.
- Bring a Rich Cat; Esoteric Uril demolishes the stage by crippling every enemy's push.
