Wait, is it possible to kill the sub-bosses in the previous levels, so they don't return?

The sub-bosses will always teleport out in previous levels. My strategy was to save the queen for last, since as her health goes down, she'll keep summoning more and more enemies. You can take them at a more reasonable pace by not damaging her until clearing out the rest. Or, if you're feeling gutsy, try to kill her super fast.

Keep in mind, the ape does a frick-ton of damage if you let him catch up, but he's easy to out manuever. The trick-shot guy doesn't do much damage, but always hits, and his hits will immobilize their target for one turn. If you took my idea to save the queen for last, you won't have to fight more than one of those sub-bosses at a time, which really helps.

Oh, and if you're a hat collector, don't forget that all those folks have unique hats. =)

Ace does miss occasionally.

Killed her on my next run prior to this post. I found that not focusing on the sub-bosses and going all-out on the queen worked in my favor.

Did you also avoid taking out the normal non-boss enemies?

Take out the gorilla, don't bother with the sniper, and take out the regular soldiers.
Or better yet, just go watch a youtube video rather than necroposting such an old thread.
