Finalend of the game

The board the comp ends on; carry and items above.

What players who finished on this comp had on their board at the end of each stage (units in 30 %+ of their games). The API starts at the end of stage 3, when most players are already level 7 or 8, so the opener is the 1 and 2 costs they were still holding then: the units to pick up in stages 1 and 2. Green ring = new at that step, faded = not on the next step's board. Lv = the most common player level at that point. Items are the ones the unit ends the game with (the API gives none per stage).

Best setupfrom 604 real boards

Kakuna · usual hex (from other comps)~Arbok · usual hex (from other comps)~Nidorina · usual hex (from other comps)~Nidorino · usual hex (from other comps)~Ivysaur · usual hex (from other comps)~Bellsprout · usual hex (from other comps)~Haunter · usual hex (from other comps)~Gloom · usual hex (from other comps)~Venomoth · usual hex (from other comps)~

Every unit of the final board once, on the hex it most often stands on in this comp's real boards (the % is how often). Gold hex = the carry. Dashed hexes marked ~ have no data for this comp (9): they take the unit's usual hex across every other comp, or a free hex in the rows its range calls for.
