Crustaceor

Crustaceor is a Triton monster of the Invaders agenda. Crustaceor was released in Series 5: Big in Japan.

Proportions:
 * Height:55 Meters
 * Weight:30,000 Tons

Alpha

 * Crustaceor has Crunch in this form, and while this may not seem to be a big deal at first, consider the fact that most alpha forms do not have a reliable way to do two points of damage and it suddenly becomes great. Add in Reach, and he now has distance, which is something that most Brawl attacks lack.
 * To increase Crustaceor's shelf life, consider Brawling a building with High Occupancy to heal a point while simultaneously hitting the opponent for a point due to Demolish.
 * Even though it does not heal a point of damage, Crustaceor should also consider attacking an Electrical Power Plant if the opponent is adjacent to one, since due to Live Wire and Demolish, Crustaceor will dish out 2 points to the enemy monster, gain 5 P-die, and not get hurt himself due to Reach.
 * Use Hoist often to open up Power attack lanes for Crustaceor, or, alternatively, use it defensively to block Power attack lanes to Crustaceor. Yet another tactic is to use Hoist to throw a Psi-Eel into a Throw or Smash Power attack for an extra point of damage due to Hazardous.

Ultra

 * Crustaceor gains Power Strike in this form, encouraging Super Strikes even more that usual. If your Power Base is set up well, try to dump as many dice into Crustaceor's Brawl attacks as possible.
 * Jump greatly helps Crustaceor get around the field. Consider abusing his low Hyper Cost to Hyper Up, Jump to a hard-to-get opponent, Hyper Down, and Hoist their Screen out of the way for a surprise Power attack.

Mega

 * Crustaceor's Mega form still has Hoist to break screens, but he has suddenly become an impressive Power attacking monster. Use Crunch to deal out Super Damage with every Throw, and if the opponent makes the mistake of leaving themselves open WITHOUT Hoist, use it instead to get a Psi-Eel into place for a 3 point Throw.
 * Combo this with Power attack Hit and Run to have Crustaceor hide behind a nearby Screen of Units. If you haven't used Hoist this turn, combo Hit and Run with a Spiral Relay's Red Sprint to run 6 spaces after your attack. This should easily be enough for any monster to get behind a Screen.
 * Swat and Hit and Run Power attacks work great together as well. In total, he can Swat a Unit into the opponent's monster while moving 6 spaces, moving two allied Units due to Synchronized Move, and then Sprinting for even more Speed due to a Spiral Relay.
