Hogback brings more support to Fighter teams, but, sadly, it's not enough to put Fighters back on the map. He's a decent Fighter sub, but don't expect to see much use for him, aside from evolving Cindry.

Cindry share a similar special to Kalifa, Garp, and Kraken, but she changes all orbs to PSY and INT Orbs instead. You can use her skill with PSY Django to make a full PSY board. Even at maxed skill level, she will be a slower version of the Garp/Mr. 2 combo if you already have Garp max skilled. You can also use her with Towel Nami to make a full INT board! Though she's a PSY unit, she is the best method that INT teams have for a full INT board. You may even find use for her in a PSY/INT Shooter team! You can use Franky's special to move the correct orbs to the right units!

Recommendations / Suggestions for Teams (30-Stamina):
These are just Options for Teams; you can always use others.
| Team | Notes |
|---|---|
     | Shanks Team Everyone has at least a 13 turn cooldown (besides Shanks) and max leveled. Go into the Last Stage when Garp is at 3 turns and save some PSY Orbs. Turn 1, use Coby and kill one mob and damage another one. Turn 2, use all Skills. Attack from weakest to strongest (all Perfects). The goal is for each of these units to kill one mob and the rest to beat Hogback. Stall longer if your cooldowns aren't this fast. If your levels aren't maxed, try to go into the last stage with as many PSY Orbs as you can and maybe stall for both Shanks' skills. If you can't beat most of the mobs by turn 2, consider using GP. |
 | Garp Team All units max leveled, skill levels at or below Garp's. Go into the last stage when Garp is at 2 turns and save some PSY Orbs. Turn 1, kill at least one mob. Turn 2, use skills: Garp, Coby, Usopp, Mr.2, and attack. Turn 3, use Django's skill and win. If you can't beat all of the mobs after your second turn, kill Hogback on Turn 3. If you can't kill Hogback even with Coby's effect and a full PSY board, consider using GP Usopp instead of Impact Usopp, and use his skill on Turn 2. |
  | Free-to-Play Team 1 Units lvl 30, Merry level 6, and no skills leveled. Stall until Garp has 3 turns left, save some PSY Orbs, and then go into the last stage. Turn 1, kill one mob. Turn 2, use Garp, Coby, Usopp, and Mr.2, and then kill 2 mobs. Turn 3, Use Django, and kill 2 more mobs. Turn 4 and on, attack until you beat Hogback. |
  | Free-to-Play Team 2 Units level 50, Merry level 6, and no skills leveled. Stall until Garp has 3 turns left, save PSY Orbs, and then go into the last stage. Turn 1, kill one mob. Turn 2, use Garp's, Usopp's, and Franky's skill and beat another mob and damage another one. Turn 3, use Django and beat 2 mobs. From now on, use the meat providers when needed and win. |
Useful Units:
| Character | Notes |
|---|---|
| Coby really helps to clear Hogback safely. His special boosts Good and Bad orbs by 1.5x and he has a decent ATK for a PSY unit. The extra damage helps to beat the tanky mobs on the Last Stage! |
| Garp is a great Leader and/or Sub for beating this Fortnight! His leader skill doubles PSY characters' HP and ATK and his special changes all Orbs to PSY or Meat! |
| Marine Django will prove useful when Hogback changes all Orbs to INT since Django changes INT Orbs to PSY Orbs! Can be replaced with the Yellow Pirates Slasher. |
