— Noise Report

The Shrew Wave is a gold shrew Noise with grey claws in The World Ends with You.

AbilitiesEdit

• Tunnel-dweller: The Shrew Wave is able to move between the top- and bottom-screens at will via holes in the ground. However, it can only attack when it is protruding from one of these holes; if forced out by attacks, the shrew Noise will try to crawl over to one of its burrows to resume its attacks.

• Claw Slash: The Shrew Wave pops its head out of one of its holes to perform a double-clawed downwards slash on a nearby player.

• Bomb: The Shrew Wave pops its head out of one of its holes and drops a bomb that explodes after 3 seconds. The explosion causes serious damage within a certain radius.

StrategyEdit

Shrew Waves can only be harmed while at least partly above the ground; even Fusion Attacks will miss while they are underground. Attacks with knock-back can force these Noise out of their burrows until they can crawl back into one of their holes, leaving them extremely vulnerable to attack. Dash or use a well-timed block to avoid taking damage from their bombs.

NameEdit

The Shrew Wave's name is a play on the music genre "new wave", with "new" replaced by "shrew".
