Mr. Puffington combines some of the qualities found in Brollow and Rain D. and deals much higher damage than all other Relic enemies seen at this point in the game. His close-range attack has 200 piercing range and inflicts curse for 10 seconds, paralleling the time his attack animation takes to start again.
Strategy[]
Do not use units with low damage per hit because they will constantly knock him back, allowing him to attack more times. This is especially dangerous with his Omni Strike as he can kill your whole army in one go, and the units that survive are cursed until his attack starts again with no downtime. Instead, use units with high damage per hit like Slapsticks. Idi can also be put to great use, as (when upgraded to level 37) she can survive and two shot Mr. Puffington, soloing him completely when alone. Slow is a great debuff against him, as his standing range is quite low and if he can't get a hit easily, his Omni Strike means nothing. Cyberpunk Cat is good for this, as he has a massive range advantage over him. However, do pay attention to the contents of each stage he appears in, as they each feature a different niche and thus must be worked around.
