This stage kinda throws hands.
The startoff features Dogensteins, Doctor KO, and Pigeons. I like bringing Carpenter here purely for how easily he allows the startoff to be stalled for cash that you very much need for the boss wave, even though Carpenter isn't the most useful into said boss wave.
During the boss wave, you want to make sure there is constant damage headed into Shachiko to minimize chip damage on your backliners as they need all the HP they can get for the Elizabeth that eventually joins in. There isn't really much that can handle a Relic Bun and Elizabeth at the same time so your best bet is to just save HP as leg room for Elizabeth's Waves bypassing your Octo spam. It's probably possible to use Idi here over Naala and aim to take down Relic Bun very quickly, but I prefer Naala's consistency and this is likely to translate better to the eventual Starred version of the stage.
