28-2 KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND
28-2 Knights of the Round is the 2nd stage of 28 — Weak & Mildly Acidic. Previous stage: 28-1 At Least I'm a Cat. Next stage: 28-3 Cat Catharsis.
An escalating 'Face' boss rush — The Face → I.M. Phace → Shy Boy → CyberFace (Metal, debut). Crit cats for CyberFace.
A Floating area attacker with long range (340) but a slow attack rate. Anti-Floating units and meatshields handle it — close the gap before it lands hits.
The Face's Alien/Floating variant, and the boss of The Great Abyss in Into the Future Chapter 1. 44,444 HP and a 1,333-damage area attack at 366 range that can Freeze. A Freeze-immune frontline plus anti-Alien or anti-Floating attackers handles him.
Red/Floating variant of The Face that plays nothing like it. He moves forty times faster and attacks rapidly, with less than half the range. He's about a third as tough but deals more DPS. His short range makes him very vulnerable to Slow and Freeze, and he drops a lot of money.
Metal CyberFace — only 1 damage per non-critical hit, but a colossal single hit with Wave Attack + Base Destroyer. Needs critical-hit cats.
CyberFace is Metal — normal hits do 1 damage; only Critical or Toxic damage gets through.
Critical is a chance, not a guarantee — lead with 100%-crit or Toxic units; low-crit ones are slow backups.
