First Round (Expert) is the second stage in The Proving Grounds. Beating this stage allows the access of two, random Continuation Stages. The possible Continuation Stages include:
Battleground[]
- Infinite Zoges spawn after 3.33 seconds100f, delay 30~33.33 seconds900f~1,000f.
- 1 Gabriel spawns after 10 seconds300f.
- 1 Doge Dark spawns after 16.67 seconds500f.
- 1 Hyppoh spawns after 16.67 seconds500f.
- When the base reaches 99% HP:
- 1 Kory spawns as the boss.
- 5 Doge Darks spawn, delay 16.67~20 seconds500f~600f.
- 5 Gabriels spawn, delay 23.33~26.67 seconds700f~800f.
- 2 Hyppohs spawn, delay 26.67~33.33 seconds800f~1,000f.
Strategy[]
The Kory here is surprisingly weak, and the Hyppohs, even without any Anti-unstarred Alien Treasures, shouldn't pose that much of a threat. Still, it is wise to stall the beginning Doge variants for as much money as possible before attacking the base. If you are struggling with the Kory, it would be a good idea to bring Octopus Cat and/or other Wave Shield units, as those will even be able to help against the Bun Bun Symbiote in Last Round: Dawn (Deadly) and Last Round: Dusk (Deadly).
