The swarm gathers, splits into smaller enemies, rejoins and makes short downward dashes. Leave room for a wider dodge when a lane fills.
Signature: Sandfall. The upper and lower rows release sand in two beats. Hold a clear lane through both. This is fictional battle design, not a claim about the real subject.

How this card plays
The swarm gathers, splits into smaller enemies, rejoins and makes short downward dashes. Leave room for a wider dodge when a lane fills. The first warning introduces Sandfall. Later volleys alternate between that signature and the formation pattern. Survive three waves to earn a clean clear, or take one free assisted clear.
