Stage 3end of stage 3Lv 6

Stage 4end of stage 4Lv 7

The board at the end of stage 4. Not on the Final board any more: Omastar.

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).

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 (6): they take the unit's usual hex across every other comp, or a free hex in the rows its range calls for.
