Ability & Special Effects

ABILITY — CAVE: Unga Bunga First, Cave Dude Unga . Then... he Bunga .

How to Use Cave Dude

The official Dudex describes Cave Dude's ability as 'Unga Bunga. First, Cave Dude Unga. Then... he Bunga.' — a deliberate joke. His stat line (120 HP, 20 DPS, 14.3 damage) reads as a straightforward melee bruiser with no tricks. C-tier: perfectly fine early, outclassed by Dudes whose abilities do something specific.
