His True Form gains area attack, the ability to perform wave attacks and increased health and range, but loses multi-hit and less damage, as well as a slightly longer delay between attacks plus a longer attack animation.

Strategy/Usage

Basically useless, but he can be useful in a few early stages.

True Form

Akio & Gunder CC can be used as a peon clearer for weaker peons (Eg. Doge, Croco, Squire Rel, etc.) although Crazed Gross Cat in all forms is better for this.

He can be used in 4-star stages as a replacement for Crazed Gross, although his wave is shorter, meaning that the range of the enemy may have to be lower for him to work.
