00:00 - New Enemy Profile
New Aku/Behemoth variant after Aku SLOTH. It's Master A species! While his whole family is known for its long range attack, Langmaster somehow has rather short attack range: 300! He also has Aku Shield which gives him in total 1-million additional defense.

At first, he might look weak compared to his siblings. But turns out he is the most dangerous Master A variant. First, he has Omni-strike attack that gives him 50 piercing range. His DMG is 28k which kills any Eraser unit. Good thing that his DMG is divided by multi-hit. But your Eraser spam barely holds the frontline. Throw few peons, you will get pushed non-stop.

And you know what's even worse? Langmaster is immune to Wave ATK and KB Ability. You can't use Cat Cannon, Breakerblast, or Fiend Cat to push it back. Once he gains your territory, you can't have it back.

So creating proper defense is very important here. You know who is perfect unit to stall Langmaster. Cactus Cat. Having Cactus Cat on your lineup greatly reduces Langmaster's push power. If you have been neglecting him, it's good time to start farming Yellow Cubes.

The gate stage. You must beat this stage before you can access Gapra Area 11~13. It's Langmaster debut stage. The stage is simple but deadly. Langmaster and constant peons attack. The main peons is Aku Snache and Angelic Gory. All you need to defend your area and focus on the peons first. Once all of them is depleted, Langmaster's fate is sealed.

============

02:04 - Downpour Jungle Area 11
Very easy. Few peons spam with Aku SLOTH as the boss. Aku SLOTH spawns pretty late so it's possible to cheese the base first. Even if you fail, a non-stop spam of Courier Cat should be good enough to handle this stage.

============

03:06 - Downpour Jungle Area 12
The worst Gapra stages so far. Same formula. Langmaster and peons. But this time he is protected by very powerful Aku enemy (slightly weaken than Aku in UL saga). Langmaster is also aided by Aku SLOTH. It's still on 100% magnification, but still makes the situation worse. The worst part of the stage starts after the peons died out. That means no more cash source. If by that time you still can't kill Langmaster, it's hard to turn the situation back.

Since the stage is full of Aku, using Cactus Cat practically decreases the stage difficulty by a LOT. But what can we do if we don't have Cactus Cat? Grab your Aku Researcher and hope it destroy all of Langmaster shield so you can rush him down before Aku SLOTH joins the fray. Or use your best anti-Aku Ubers.

============

06:01 - Downpour Jungle Area 13
Another Langmaster stage. But this one is 100x easier than Area 12. The supporting enemy is less tougher than before. Pigeons spam might look scary, but simple LD attack is enough to repel them. Alien Elizabeth acts as heavy support, but she ends up becoming step-stone for Courier Cat. The best part? Non-stop peons. You will never lose money here. Just make sure you grab 1-2 LD attacker or it will be one long boring fight.

============

Best Stage to farm:
Area 11, no contest. You can rush it down before Aku SLOTH coming down. The time limit is ~90s which is plentiful. You can rush it down with Courier, Can-Can, and Bahamut formation.
