Strategy

Gato Amigo and his Evade Surge Talent works wonders here as its recharge time is just enough to mirror that of the Red EnerGs, allowing it to perfectly stall them.

Spawn Gato Amigo at about a 2.97 second rate, and use Breakerblast to sync up the Red EnerGs. Then you can use whatever surge immune unit you want, such as talented Beefcake Cat or Kasli the Bane.

Trivia

• The Japanese name of this stage, Issunsaki wa Sumi ("Ahead Lies Charcoal" or lit. "Charcoal is One Step Ahead"), is a play on the phrase "issunsaki wa yami," which means, "the future could hold anything," but literally translates to "darkness is one step ahead."
• Going along with the theme of meat and cooking in Rose-Colored Road, Ashes Just Ahead's Japanese name refers to charcoal, which has a wide range of applications in cooking.
