Strategy/Usage

Akio Yabe is essentially useless in all but a few early stages due to rather low stats and Single Target.

True Form

Akio & Gunder CC can be used as a peon clearer for weaker peons (e.g. Doge, Croco, Squire Rel, etc.) although Crazed Gross Cat in all forms is better for this. They can be used in 4-crown stages as a replacement for Crazed Gross, although their wave is shorter and later-game wavers such as Jellycat outclass them completely.
