Wicked Face

Wicked Face (魔我王, Ma Gaō) is an Aku variant of The Face that appears in The Aku Realms and Legend Stages.
==Enemy==
Wicked Face has much longer range than The Face (enough to hit Bahamut Cat), which is further increased by his guaranteed Mini-Waves. His stats are nothing to sneeze at either, plus he has a 30% chance to freeze units that survive his attacks, though very briefly. Yet another problem he poses is his Shield, which more than doubles his health while blocking status effects. Fortunately, his movement speed is only double that of The Face and he still has a relatively slow attack rate.
==Strategy==
Because of his range and Mini-Waves, it is quite difficult to properly outrange him, but not impossible. Since both the damage and the freeze uptime are low, most units who outranges him can still do a fairly good job against him while being mildly threatened at worst, or while being protected by Octopus Cat at best, who can safely tank Wicked Face's damage, despite him not being a Floating enemy. This works due to Wicked Face's slow attack rate, meaning it will take a while to destroy Octopus Cat or any melee attackers you're using.
Another valid strategy, which is faster in absence of interferences and arguably much more accessible involves bulky units getting up close and quickly dealing damage, all while realistically lasting for a long time while under fire. Some accessible non-Uber options include a Talented Li'l Jamiera/Li'l Macho Legs, Barrel Cat and Supercar Cat, or even Cat Researcher.
Shield aside, little can be done by applying effects on this foe, so raw power, as is often customary with Aku enemies, is the way to go.

==Trivia==
*Just like Sathankhamun VIII, his design is most likely a reference to Big Ben and Little Ben, the demon-costumed bacteria seen in some of TOTO's toilet commercials, as his Japanese description raises the possibility that he, too, is a form of bacterium.
*His Japanese name, Ma Gaō (魔我王), is a pun on the word magao (真顔), meaning "serious face" or "straight face". The individual kanji used in the enemy's name mean "demon" or "evil spirit" (魔), "ego" or "self-assertion" (我) and "king" (王).
*His English description is missing the apostrophe in "it's".
*He, Sinner Snache, Condemned Peng, Le'Behemoth and Fallen Bear were added to the game files in Version 10.8, but were unimplemented and used Doge's stats and sprites as placeholders until Version 10.9.
