Exact opposite for me, he's 14 pulls deep (no track bullshit to worry about) and I have exactly 14 tickets.
I did 80 pulls and he's still at 999+ for me, here's hoping updated Epicest will drop him somewhere closer. Simulated guaranteed says 333A, so I guess there's that.
What can i do against backliners like Camelle or Prof A in 4crown?
Nyandam seems to be the only thing that outranges em (by 1) but is there any better way?
Slime was apparently the answer for chubby b goode.
I never really thought about how much of a pain in the ass some enemies are without a super backliner
You just gotta take it raw sometimes
Like praying threats stop spawning so you can focus on solely the camelle, praying you can stack enough LD at the start of a round to kill it, waiting for minutes so you can chip it with dumb shit like A.Bahamut/Cyberpunk cat
Really depends on what the stage is
Camelle and its variants I use low knock back units that can go in and chip it to death like Ramen and Shigong
Prof A I just throw in Courier with meatshields and hope for the best, maybe Mina too
Repostan from the last thread (or the one before that?) because I just got an Elder Fruit Seed from Floor 20 of Infernal Tower and needed to check who I can use it on.
Frick, both Floor 28s are a giant pain in my dick. Like all Metal stages, they all revolve around getting lucky, especially when the only strategy against the metal seal is hoping that Luffy crits, and crits at the right target. But then there's a situation like my last run, when I get destroyed by the first valley of metal doges.
Madoka. Street Fighter, Bikkuriman, Merc Storia all have some decent stuff.
Miku has that ranged waveshield at least.
Kuniokun is like the single most used combo unit.
Even Mola got that meme talent that makes him occasionally really good.
they're okish, most of them are windy/thundia clones with faster attack. they're not going to win any awards for best collab uber, but if you lack ubers against some specific traits, they're as good as any other to get for that
Personally I found the little scooter units to be pretty useful as meatshields in labyrinth because they have a low cooldown and resist vs. floating/alien. Haven't really found a good use for all of the other ones.
Yes there are exactly 5. >Lasvoss >Cat God >Some Neneko variant >Gold Cat >Gold Brick Cat
So basically you only need 1 for Lasvoss since all the others are more of a meme.
The next gold fruit I get I'm probably spending on Gold Brick since I want a toxic immune meat shield. I don't see myself ever pulling or using Lasvoss anyway based on those stats
Lasvoss is great once you have it but it's a very big investment, you can cheese a lot of stages with a unit that is immune to everything, survives a lethal strike and can hit for over 1.2 milion damage, kappy and puffsley come to mind, papuu too since he is toxic immune.
Its been surprisingly useful in early 4crown for me.
It has like 150k hp at 50 and moves the same speed as cameraman, so its always right in front of your stack.
To be fair, you kinda already need a shieldpiercer if you want to do Aku Cyclone.
But yeah lil Macho is rarely worth it, especially since it maxed at 30%.
We haven't had a Labyrinth in a while, have we? With so many other limited stages demanding energy it's actually refreshing to see Ponos not throwing another one just to milk us dry.
i did to fill the gap before aku researcher, but now i bench aku researcher for lillin. I think there's a behemoth cat with 100% shield pierce too now? early aku is ball crushing because you just have no cats that are effective. so i guess make a judgement call on if you can pull aku researcher more easily than just dumping the NP. lil'axe is just a worse version of cactus but i do use him, nymph is useless dont invest in her.
TLDR get an uber for it
I'd personally recommend Dark Iz. People rarely talk about it but shes honestly the single best Anti-Aku rn.
Multi hit with 100% Shield Piercer on each hit + Surge Immunity + a 50s cooldown.
I'd say it depends.
Lilin has better range and surviveability, so for general use she'll usually perform better. Plus her surge lets her do sometimes hilarious shit like combo'ing a FallenBear/Midnight.D for half their HP or just one shotting an ackey in the rear.
If you just need like, a one time shield break on a tanky enemy then Iz can handle it.
I feel like they are both similar enough that it doesnt really matter.
50 more standing range and higher hp for higher cooldown, cost and no surge immunity.
Plus Iz is immune to all the extra shit Akus can do like Toxic/Freeze/Slow
>Afterlost (Japanese: 消滅都市, Hepburn: Shōmetsu Toshi, transl. "Annihilated City") (stylized as AFTERLOST) is a Japanese mobile game series. An anime television series adaptation by studio Madhouse aired from April 7 to June 23, 2019.
I looked up the moonrunes on youtube and found some gameplay, seems like it's an auto-runner of some sort.
Here's the other side of the collab:
I was going to ask if there was a point of doing the collab Gamatoto stage, but I just got 8 catfoods from a 6 hour run on Cumulus Peaks, so I don't care about it anymore.
Should I true form Fortune Teller Cat for Messier level 19 and 20? Her attack animation is pretty long and Doctor outranges her so maybe I can stunlock her, dunno if anyone has tried.
All my normals were already at 90 by the time you could upgrade Super last 10. I rarely play now and I think he is at like 55. After lear ing You can get Dark Cateyes from tickets, I doubt I will even bother to try to max him. I can easily get top 5% in Dark Labyrinth but it is such a chore I don't even want to do it.
>Gather 509 lucky tickets from A Distant Road >Gacha is generous with giving me li'l cats >The plus-levels boost my UR enough so that I can use catseyes to reach 15001
It's finally over
All three Yuki Ubers have Massive Damage against their traits at 400+ range, Uber Souma has a Slow/Weaken double whammy on three traits when TF'd at also 400+ range (one of them Floating, so he targets most Cyclones, apparently), and the Super Rare Otaku Geek Cat is a Cyberpunk variant that does Weaken from a distance of 1000. If any of that sounds appealing to you.
Just finished into the future 3 and got awakened bahamut bros, the next steps seem pretty open ended so what should I do first? >work on getting 900 user rank for true forms >start cats of the the cosmos >start stories of legends
You are generally supposed to be doing SoL alongside ITF already, so start doing that.
A.Bahamut is absolutely overkill for the first ~20 subchapters.
Do the XP Stages when they come up and just start farming when you get stuck.
You can also do Cyclones, Crazed Cats, stuff like Arcane Confluence for Akus, Behemoth Culling etc.
Try the collab stages as long as they're up or you need to wait another year for em.
>can't beat 2-crown stages either because of zombies or takuya spam >can't beat level fricking 4 of messier's assault
i was able to roll through most of the evangelion and mola stuff just fine what the frick
I need about 20 more gold tickets by the time the guaranteed collab banner drops to complete the set, so I'm going ham on the Catamin stages (also XP). And then I'll have to prepare for Halloween, and then Miku.
Maybe I should've targeted a higher level G Ticket stage to build up my reserves, although even then it would've been a drop in the ocean. But all three are sitting comfortably at triple digits, so maybe I don't need to worry.
And hey, an extra 7 silver tickets at the very least every single day is nothing to sneeze at.
She only does a measly 65600 damage per strenghened hit at 20 so even a lvl30 Balrog barely survives it.
The shadow boxer k on that level does that damage per second.
Speaking of, Sphinx is looking pretty juicy. >~700k HP versus Metal, Red, and Zombie without Weaken >1.4 million with Weaken ~45% uptime >Has plenty of potential for when it gets a True Form and Talents (more HP, better Weaken uptime, Relic typing, etc.)
Like a not mediocre Ruri.
I feel like Soulstrike on a tank + relatively low damage for a melee unit could be a death sentence.

Anonymous
The real downside of Soulstrike is that it makes them stop moving forward while there's a corpse nearby, the low damage isn't super relevant since it's absolutely meant to be a tanking unit.
6 months ago
Anonymous
yeah thats the thing, its a tank that can stop moving halfway to the frontline without the damage to actually kill the corpse in one hit.
6 months ago
Anonymous
Sure, but as long as you have a healthy stream of other units, it shouldn't be too big of an issue. At worst, the frontline shifts back to that corpse, which is often where it would be anyway when it finally revives. Send it first rather than as a supporting big unit.
4 meatshields cause Capy. The erasers at max level should have enough HP to survive one hit from Mr.Mer so they got that covered.
Octopus in the awkward cases where Eva-00 gets warped while there's a Bore.Jr on the field because otherwise that's an insta-loss
Hitman to burst down the Mr.mer and hopefully catch Bore.Jr sleeping
Nymph with angel target/resist talent for general damage as well to kb Exiel, to reset his progress towards your base.
Slapsticks for direct damage, mostly just in case Bore.Jr somehow manages to run right past all your LD units into their blindspot
Unit-00 because I have no idea how you'd do this stage without ranged wave shields
Kintaro for the LD damage + slow/curse on Exiel. Either debuff works to defang Exiel, but slow is generally preffered since it combos with Nymph kb to take out Exiel from the fight for a couple secs so you can focus on his support. Exiel without the warp is ridiculously weak though.
The Barons? You can farm them for talent orbs, they drop orbs for Massive Damage, Resist, and Tough VS.
So for exiel, you can make your ramen even more immortal against angels, or you can make Kalisa delete angels even faster.
>They all seemed so insurmountable at first
Powercreep finally gottem, thank fricking god
Still, I gotta admit Baron Seal is currently worst of the bunch >boss is midranger with melee-rusher bullshit DPS, tanky as frick, and added bonus of perma-freezing and perma-weakening everything that survives >support consisting of abominations such as 600% Angelic Gories having SLIGHTLY lower amount of DPS of baron (3 crown UL moment), Cala Maria that deals insta-kill on EACH hit and tanky star pengs added just to frick with your specialists >not to mention peons with way too high stats are spammed every 30 seconds >oh did I mention that said support (save Cala Maria) respawns EVERY MINUTE?
I remember on my old (and lost) account I used TWO FRICKING KASLIS and CHRONOS and I still lost every second attempt
Unfortunately methinks this Baron stage can be only nerfed by some really SERIOUS powercreep, with so much nuke-tier DPS is thrown at you at once
Funnily enough, Seal is currently the only Baron i've actually beaten.
Sure they push hard, but nothing that Phono + Mitama + 4 Meatshields can't handle.
And Courier helps too.
Man, 3-crown "The Nyanko Plan" (the scooter spam stage) is a pain in the dick. Cleared it with 4166, so enough to get the rare ticket, but I also want the regular one. I guess my team was leaning too heavily on anti-floating when I should be anti-traitless. Now if only there were hard-hitting units that are also easy to spawn.
>If you have him, Strenghened Balrog
I do not.
For the longest time I was stuck at about 7200, which is honestly worse than not getting anywhere near. What I was missing was Saber, since up to that point I've been using Regular Phono, who packs a stronger punch, but with the piss-poor attack freq his DPS is actually lower. And Saber runs faster, too. So finally I've hit the target at 7688. You know what they say, 24th time's the charm.
lesser demon cat coming around next banner 26A but its not a guaranteed
he doesn’t show up in any other banner any time soon
should I use my cf anyways? apparently he is good?
Hes honestly been my favourite ever since i got him.
He has the highest DPS in the game and that on a 2250 cost and a 30s cooldown.
And not like hes fragile either, he got 100k HP at 50. As long as you know how to play around his Single Target hes an absolute beast.
But yeah like the other guy said, he needs lvl50 and between 410 and 760 NP to reallly shine.
Is Supercar cat supposed to be sitting on a toilet? I'm pretty sure I've seen that duck with handles in Japanese media before, is the "renewable energy" the cat's shit?
my brother in christ, why do you want an unit with niche that does not exist and still perform terribly at it (even for general use, it is just crappier Manic Lion, and even ML starts falling off the meta)
Oh make no mistake, I don't plan on ever using Brainwashed Cow outside of Labyrinth, I just want it for collection purposes. It's the only brainwashed unit I don't have.
>finally another guaranteed >not a normal banner
ponos please i don't want to roll over a legend rare, how much longer must i wait i'm running out of things to upgrade without catseyes
Congrats, lad. Now True Form that glorious bastard and start enjoying one of the best opening units on stages that don't instantly try to blast you down.
Damn, Messier past lvl. 10 is becoming troublesome.
Probably wouldn't be as bad if I didn't keep spawning Saber right in front of her blast EVERY TIME. Maybe the problem is me not paying enough attention.
I have one 1 Ebin Fruit. Should I evolve Pizza Cat or Roe Cat first? I'm leanin Pizza since XP stage is all black enemies.
I'm still at chapter 2 of ItF.
Pizza probably. Theres not really a need for a red tanker until you get to the hard pushing reds like Bore, JKBunbun or Hannya.
Altough Roe could also be used as a general tanker
>Amakusa >Saki >Aethur >Kubilan
Any of these worth leveling?
Aethur is really good for its combo with Courier as well as a general anti-zombie.
Saki is incredible on the right stages.
Kubiluga depends on if you want to use the knockback wave or the crit wave. He can stay at 30 for the knockbacks.
No idea about Amakusa, i've never seen anyone use any Warlords outside of Keiji and Yukimura (and Hanzo sometimes).
>No idea about Amakusa
He targets Aku, so he might be a decent pick if he has nobody else that does by the time he starts encountering them. But with 7 second attack rate, Aku Gories will murderize him without heaps of meatshields.
Yeah, I'll go Pizza. Blacks are a huge pushover to me. Gonna miss dem breasts...
And Roe as a general tank seems too expensive. I'm sure but the time I'll need it, I'll get lucky enough to get another epic fruit.
Shiro Amakusa is really underwhelming.
Versus Black, he's nothing to write home about, loses a ton of DPS because most Blacks have tons of knockbacks paired with his multihit equals lots of misses, and other units perform just as well if not better than him. His one redeeming quality is that he barely outranges Le'Noir.
Versus Aku, he does a little bit better due to Surge immunity making him a decent option versus all their on-death bullshit and because he has decently high damage, he often breaks their shields even without shield break. Other units can be better than him here, but he's good enough. True Form is highly recommended because of how slow his attack rate is otherwise.
Anyways now that I can say things again did you guys know you can change your cursor to battle cats characters using the chrome extension cursor helper? Its pretty funny.
>did you guys know you can change your cursor to battle cats characters using the chrome extension cursor helper?
If I had to guess I'd say excessive shilling is why you got banned.
Halloween units are indeed generally dissapointing, but the Vars variant at least has a niche at being able to completely stonewall zombie units from advancing.
The Yukimura variant is also decent because, it's Yukimura but like what floating targets are you even gonna use it on during endgame. Othom, Gobble and what else? I'd still get him in case TF and/or talents make him broken like the normal yuki
honestly I find more use out of the brainwashed cats in that event than in any of the ubers there. gross/fish/cat are top tier as far as brainwasheds go, plus they all got nice tf improvements in an upcoming update too
See, the thing is, if I really, really tried, I could probably snatch up all five Halloween Ubers, Gloomy Neneko and the three Toshi Ubers I'm missing before getting to the first B. Cat that pops up (98A). But I also want to save up enough cf and tickets to be able to grab all the Hatsune Miku Ubers if I can, which should be coming in December, or January at the latest, since those won't show up again for way more than a year.
if you're limited on cf I'd focus only on the collab ubers and possibly the brainwasheds/gloomy neneko/yukimura/vars if you absolutely can't do without them, since you can always wait for next year's halloween to roll around. of the two collabs, miku has some of the more valuable collab units, with the best being sakura miku, snow miku, and wave blocker miku
I think I've figured out my pulls. Posting them here in case all my drives suddenly explode: >First 11-pull on 2A, get Benevolent Souma as guaranteed >Second 11-pull on 14B, get Lost World Yuki as guaranteed >also get Crazed Yuki on the way at 16B >Change banners, third 11-pull on 26A, get Count Yukimura as guaranteed >With a track-swap in the way, change banners again and pull singles (including a dupe RR Souma Cat), then change banners again and get Skull Vars at 40B >Pull singles until a trackswap on 48B->50A >Get Gloomy Neneko at 55A
Unfortunately, there's no Brainwashed units anywhere until that point. There's Fish at 62B, and as I've mentioned B. Cat at 98A (and two more within ten spots, which is pure bullshit). Not counting B. Gross because I already have one.
The problem with the B. Cat being so far away, other than the lack of resources, is that it's on the wrong side of a big concentration of Uber spots I could - and will - use for Mikus, meaning the Brainwashed units would be long gone when I get there: >First 11-pull on 61A, get Megurine as guaranteed >Also get the Rare Neko Len on the way >Grab Hatsune Miku at 72B >Second 11-pull on 76B, get Tokyo Miku as guaranteed >On the way get Osaka Miku on 76B, dupe Neko Len on 84B and a Neko Rin on 85B >Grab Sakura Miku on 87A >There's Osaka Miku dupe on 90A >Grab Snow Miku on 94A
Which would just leave the Rin & Len uber, but to pick which one of the guaranteed ones to pull I'd need to plan around whatever other banner would be running concurrently.
There's also the two Super Rares and a third Rare, and I can grab two of those at the 110-120 range, but again, need to work with the other banner - the third one is all the way at 141B, so I'd probably have to wait until 2025 or even 2026 for another rerun. There's also Dark Phono on the Plat track around the 100 spot, which makes planning blindly even less advisable.
>Oh yeah, that reminds me >Skull Vas at 12A... >Track jump at 9A >Also on Plat tickets, I have regular Phono at 25A >No B-side track jumps until 94
Fricking hell, time to wait for a uni- >Oh wait, Shoumetsu Toshi shifts things doesn't it >Yep, 9A is safe there
Frick yeah, time to do some setup. >I would nee
Oh wait, nevernevermind, there's a guaranteed Halloween banner coming I can use, which incidentally is also Vars and then I can also snag Vampire Yukimura or some shit, nice.
It's weird how badly distributed anti angel gachas are, you have toaster which is very bad, stitls is meh, Juliette is okayish and then rocker is basically the anti-christ with how badly he destroys them, I remember when starting early i struggled a lot against Angel Cyclone because what the game gives you early to deal with him is awful.
And ramen cat basically destroy this stage lol
It can even (on high levels) survive a hit (or couple when boosted enough) from cyclone, which is crazy feat by itself, nevermind from a fricking meatshield
And rest of anti-angels (discounting ubers) feels like bootlegs of their other type contemporaries until you feed them truckload of NP (even this does not justify them being THIS bad)
what is even more ridiculous (and downright insulting) that anti-angels gained from talents are much better at their jobs which makes you think if PONOS actually enjoys mocking the existence of anti-angels not named Ramen cat (even he got kinda shat on by his talents, boy, not even single immunity feels like he gets punished by being OP in itself and PONOS anti-anti-angel agenda sheningans)
On other hand, you get set like Ultra Souls basically decimating every angel you come across until 4 crown putting stop on their kill streak
Yeah, PONOS balance strategies is an enigma to me (and still is- Anubis, for example, went from Anoobis joke before normal and ultra talents to basically uberfest backliner after tons of NP, how is that reasonable??)
>and still is- Anubis, for example, went from Anoobis joke before normal and ultra talents to basically uberfest backliner after tons of NP, how is that reasonable??
I mean, if I gotta dump all that exp + uber cateyes + dark cat eyes + tons of NP he damn well better be OP
Been a couple months since I came back to this game, don't even know what the frick the catseye on the right is for.
Just wanted some help or recommendations on what I should spend my catseye and xp on?
CoTC chapter 3 on Skelling
Took a break cause frick that level
Scars of war on legends but that's because I don't really play consistently on it not because I'm stuck
Well, the obvious thing to focus on first is any uber that could possibly help you beat skelling since I remember the pengs being buffed out of this world.
So anti alien ubers is a freebie, most of the pixies just solo the stage. I usually just save my cateyes until I get stuck on a stage.
weak and mildly acidic in SOL, not really much i can do for progress aside from going through that until i see the star aliens and getting catseyes since i'm waiting for a guaranteed on pixies/gals to get jeanne or lumina plus a couple ubers right after the track switch (into another legend so i can basically get both), seeing all these collabs happening right now is disheartening but it's not so bad.
hopefully said ubers don't change if the next pixies guaranteed is with the new one as i don't want to have bora and voli get replaced by possibly less useful pixies if that can happen.
>Any good units to look out for?
Not really, they are all underwhelming, except… >Including this thing apparently? >Including
You mean exclusively roll for him then yes
This thing is basically anti-black ramen (even better than Nono in tf)
I mean, look at its stats, it is basically ramen against blacks, really (for searching purposes its name is Chibigau)
At least you can still roll for collab units if you want that UR boost (which you will need in late-to-endgame for one particular normal cat…) and labyrinth fodders (which also good idea considering Labyrinth is fricking 100 stages, you have to have entire rosters of collabs to make progress (and missing out on those dark catseyes really hurt…)
apparently (according to siluman's video) the gacha that has him only has chibigau + 2 other rares for possible rare rolls, meaning that not only is it practically impossible to miss even with only a handful of rolls, but also that it's feasible to get a very hypermaxed chibigau
>is this dude necessary for 4* sol?
definitely not
if you boost it through talents, it becomes a powerhouse spammable rusher with ability to obliterate and cripple surviving black enemies
however, every stage in 4 crown SoL it would be relevant (ofc fully talented, don’t use it otherwise) can have its job done by other talented specials (Dark Lazer moment)
It’s very nice to have it talented though (especially if you plan no gacha runs)
If you want, I can give advice what units to use and/or boost (provided you tell me what is your progress and what units you plan on using) as I already beat 4 crown SoL once without using gacha units much
Nanaho is incredibly broken with good offense against metals (50% crit with reasonably long range and strong hit for metals with pierce, just be sure your defenses are meaty, as you don’t want BAKA waltzing into her quite big blindspot) and broken defense against them (insanely tough against them, basically offensive sakura sonic)
She has added bonus of being versatile enough to be usable on every stage (due to her bonus abilities being pretty good, but beware, her generalist stats are a little bit lacking) and recharge time being rather good for an uber
She is simply not that replaceable and probably best mongal, whereas Gaia is actually not that unique and she has some serious flaws in her niche (which result in her not being top five of her set lmao, albeit to be fair you can’t go wrong rolling on almighties)
Tl;dr: Nanaho is good bc she’s unique and crazy good at her niche, Gaia is too flawed for Almighty legend to be prioritized over her
*BAKA stands for S.M.H. (Super Metal Hippoe, dunno why Ganker converts undotted acronym to baka, but I still find it hilarious to call this annoying enemy baka, considering it fits perfectly)
The abbreviation happens to be exactly the same as "shaking my head", which has been filtered out by Ganker since like 2018 or thereabouts, since it's been spammed alongside "to be honest" and the first syllable of "family". Which also have been filtered, into "desu" and "senpai" respectively.
On topic of final behemoth stages, Ensanglion is such a dissapointing boss
It is literally “Nyandam, but stronger” and it can’t even kill Radical Cat (its direct counter to be frank) in one hit
Considering sheer amount of bullshit that behemoth enemies themselves put us through, such boss is beyond pathetic
Even its stages are hilariously easy. Only lava caves variation, from chapter filled with ungodly amounts of bullshit, tries to pose threat and fails spectacularly due being filled with alien behemoth enemies (which get SOAP’ed) and only 200% Wild Doges have any pushing power, but considering you beat like 59 unique behemoth stages for first time, more or less you can consistently get rid of them.
Honestly, this stage is the only time I wish PONOS would magnify those hellspawns to 300%, if that’s the only way to increase the challenge.
Hey why doesn't Godfat have the guarantees for Shometsu Toshi up? I looked at the banner for the last three days of the collab and its still normal? Are we not getting a guarantee? Same with the Halloween one?

I usually wait until a day or two passes after a plat banner update if I need to pull. otherwise, I do some test pulls on a regular banner and see if I moved on the plat banner to make sure everything is good before spending a plat ticket.
also wtf it said the plat track updates today and I got mighty katapult from the old track instead of emma who should've been on the new track which should've been accessible today?
Just pulled this guy from the daily login rare ticket thingamabob. He seems kinda broken, what with a gazillion immunities, random bonus damage (that aren’t crits, unfortunately), and a chance to heal at low health.
I may be wrong though, my only other ubers are the anti-black tiger guy, Windy, another from that set who’s all fancy and punches people, Momotaro, some cat in a pot that’s good against Angels, Catman, and Bloody Jack, and maybe they’re all just complete shit that’s so bad it makes a mediocre dude look godly by comparison.
Lasvoss is a situational legend. He is not a hard carry, and requires a lot of investment for true form and even more to get the absolute most out of him. If he lands a savage-blow hit you win, but otherwise he'll get like 1-2 hits that take out a chunk of HP then fricks off and dies.

Yeah that's what I mean, if you are on a cat tight stage. Of course, use bad guys all the time when using him or else youre not getting the most but it still takes a chunk o change and if you have other rusher ubers that are marginally strong he ends up doing nothing at all cuz he wont make it to the frontline.

Yeah that's what I ought to do now as well but the thing is I've never had a problem with it updating on the time it says it would update until now.
he takes a lot of investment to become useful and can be awkward to use but it's extremely satisfying watching him delete max lvl barons and bosses before fricking off back to cooldown. however it's gonna be a while until you can unlock and use his TF.
Catarzan I used on Idi's stage, but otherwise is replaceable. Also is not a good counter to the enemy he's supposed to counter so that was fun to figure out.
Mushroom I'd go for first, it's really nice having an anti-Angel damager that isn't an uber.
Haniwa is cheap and would be good if it wasn't for the fact that Ponos made him unbelievably slow.
How many rare tickets do you have? I you can get up to 9 within the next six days, you could pull singles on the Toshi banner, skip to the legend spot, and then wait for banner with the legend you want. And you can get up to four rare tickets from the final stage of the Pumpcat map that just dropped if you can clear each crown, so you'd be basically halfway there.
9 to go but i have two in catfood, so seven tickets away. Ill get one tomorrow from the daily thing so thats six, and at least one more from the catfood drops for five
well if ur a new player then crazed cats are still the best since they can get to frontline quickly and keep up with your other staple units like dasli and phono who are decent/fast themselves
You'd normally use double eraser most of the time.
If Eraser dies in one hit anyway use any of the 75c meatshields instead. Also use Metal, Gold, Brainwashed, Gato Amigo, etc if you want certain immunities.
If you NEED your meatshield to survive a hit use Jiangshi, usually alongside Manic Eraser.
Specialist meatshields like Ramen, Haniwa, Catellite usually go on top of Double Eraser.
Speed doesn't matter as much as you would spam them on cooldown anyway, but higher speed is obviously better.
well if ur a new player then crazed cats are still the best since they can get to frontline quickly and keep up with your other staple units like dasli and phono who are decent/fast themselves
>If Eraser dies in one hit anyway use any of the 75c meatshields instead.
In that specific case I'd recommend the basic Cat and Gold Cat, since they're getting a money combo.
Metal Cat is great if you can get it. Sure it's much more expensive than normal meatshields, but if you're not dealing with something with a fast attack rate or critical hits like THE FRICKING R.OST, you could possibly stall forever, and since he's a gacha unit, it's actually possible to get it unlike Green Shell.
I like double erasers because the fast one stops a push after a big hit and the slow one means there's usually at least one out of range of the enemies as a failsafe if the front two or three get slapped. Sometimes ill swap the slow one for a wave immune cat or simmilar stage-specific unit
There's no single best combo for every stage (mainly due to restriction stages such as 4 crown and CoTC for example)
However, there are some tips I can give:
- early-to-lategame, normal and crazed walls (later erasers) stall everything incredibly well for very cheap cost (only 300¢ every 2-3 seconds, at max upgrade worker cat on starting level can sustain that much very easily) Beware: combo falls off in end-post game when enemies start dealing enough damage to kill maxed erasers in one hit
- biobone or other M/L research combos pair up very well with tanky type-resistant meatshields and work better on stages that demand specific immunity or type-resistance to survive (such as pure angel stages needing ramen to be manageable)
- dirt cheap die in one hit meatshields + tanky meatshield to keep enemies busy for attackers to pick them off while tanky enemies have their progress halt by tanky meatshields
- any wave-immune/surge-immune meatshields (but with relatively affordable total cost) is go to answer to stages that main threat comes from these abilities (alternatively dual eraser with wave blocker(s))
- cheap and fast meatshields + metal cat for any stage with main threat dealing overkill damage (alternatively meatshield that survives at least one hit from that threat)
- no meatshields at all (this is not a joke); this can come in handy when enemies are barely stopped by meatshields but cannot instantly reach backliners themselves, so you can focus all your expenses (and slots) to different attacking units
- rock cat + biobone/research combos for maximum trolling (unless enemies have cyclonic DPS or money is a issue)
These are just that come from my head right now (and I probably forgot about couple of combinations) but I tested all of them and they work perfectly if they fit into stage design
>some random halloween themed event timed score stage >one of the hardest 4 crown stages in the game
What the hell was PONOS thinking making this one, it was even appearently worse (3 times stronger enemies than normal, 3 fricking 2100% Drac-o-wlas at once, not to mention overbuffed support)
I find cataur to be really underwhelming, he is basically weaker (and much frailer) dragon cat that only works very well against floating (and zombies with talents) but dies to pretty much everything when enemies break the frontline, making him very risky to use (also it's really infuriating to lose entire stack due to one slip up) not to mention his single target + kinda long foreswing makes him likely to waste attacks on support
Not to mention, he needs TF + 25 rare catseyes + some dupe levels + talents to really work
Its easier to just obtain UL legends and TF them, since most of them (except dogumaru) work well on this stage (especially ururun&urs combo and well protected Naala can crush these owls, as well as sniping the base)
any strategies to beat the old queen pre UL? its not like i really need slime but i think itd be funny if i managed to pull it off + it helps in 4 crowns stages (on top of just being good ofc)
From what I remember, I used Roe Cat to just tank the Prof. A damage. As well as A.Bahamut to kill the first Prof.A before the second one spawned.
The stage should be much easier nowadays with courier cat countering every peon in that stage. Once the first Prof.A dies you can just spam Roe cat to win by default, so your entire lineup can be dedicated to just that. There's a limited amount of Relic Doges, so you can wait those out too
I might also add manic island as tanker/meele attacker against prof A as courier can have some issues with delivering hits due to high attack rate and damage enough to juggle him (unless weakened by roe cat but you have to watch out for relic doges but if you rush the stage you can kill boss before they start to spawn which is around 86.67 seconds after stage starts)
Also I find fishman cat to be incredibly useful for killing Queen Mother V before second prof A arrives
Basically rich cat + treasure radar + thunderbolt cannon + attack up and/or speed up combos + A.Baha/Courier/M.Island/Fishman/Roe (all max levels) + some timing skill can grant you free slime cat that is hella broken on 4 crown SoL stages
I myself am pre-UL (which means Legendary units are only level 30, and forget any SoL unit being TF'd), but with a lot of meatshields, stacking L'il King Dragons, and trying to also stack Ururuns and mid-form Behemoths I managed to eke out a victory, albeit with only 289 on the counter.
Still, 30 more cf for me.

attack up combos work way better than defense up
The frick is this medal? Also, how in the heavenly frick are you guys farming cubes? This is bullshit, BULLSHIT. I just beat the last culling stage and this jethomosexual needs SEVENTY fricking stones total?! I've got so many unevolved eggs bros. I know most of them are shit but still. Hunters maps just arent cutting it. Give us a break already ponos. How about some fricking catfruit/stone hybrids for fricks sake.
The first and third stage have their chance of seeds and fruits swapped (60% and "30% minus whatever the chance of getting an Epic Catfruit is"), so going for the harder one is the obvious choice. Of course there's still 10% chance of getting exactly jack shit.
There should be a separate 100% Catfruit stage, because this at some point it's just busywork. Call it "Blitzing [Color]" and drop if for two or three hours in a day, fill it with Behemoths if you feel the need to make it hard, but just give me a surefire way to get a goddamn fruit when I need one.

Fricking ponos. I'll have to wait till next year. Again.
I am getting filtered hard by Chubby B Goode and that fricking camel, any things I can try to do to improve my chances of success?
Right now I’m rolling with Mowhawk, Catburger, Eraser, Takuya and Lovely Yuki, Magica, Jurassic Sitter, Swordmaster, Island, Peach Angels, and Crazed Bahamut.
Chubby is probably the biggest filter stage after Empire 3 Moon.
That being said, I'd highly consider swapping Bahamut for Valkyrie.
Bahamut's abysmal attack speed + 100 shorter range makes him a near-worthless matchup versus Camelle.
If you dont have any units that outrande Camelle(which you probably wont) your only other option is to tank the damage
So cat units with a lot of hp and small amounts of knockbacks like Titan Cat. Just kill all the other dangerous peons first, then just spam Titan cat and wait. If you have any other tank ubers, you can use them here
>Just use some of the best units in the game.
I understand you've probably got good intentions anon but consider 4 star. Here's what I did 4 star with and I'm reasonably sure it was fricking awful. I can't quite remember.
Im not sure how i beat it on 4star with this, i might have just pushed hard enough to get the camel stuck against the base with breakerblast then chipped it down. That might not be practical if you dont have talents or worker up combos to abuse, but i guess theres always sniper + worker battle items.
Recently i noticed that my wushu cat is tanky enough to get hits in on camelle so if you have nothing else they might be worth a try, or you can lead him near the base and let courier chip him down
>No True Forms except for Normal Cats
You probably don't have a high enough User Rank to unlock lvl. 30, huh? If you can't defeat Camelle right now, you might as well try and clear some story mode. I'm assuming you've cleared EoC but are only starting off ItF?
HA
GET FRICKED SCOLIOSIS HORSE
Thanks to the anons who suggested using tankier cats like Titan and longer ranged cats like Valkyrie, worked a treat, and saved me from beating my head into a camel shaped brick wall. Now to deal with the existential horror of this cud chewing abomination appearing in future stages. I fear R.Ost. I don’t know what it is, but the sheer amount of b***hing I hear about it sure as hell doesn’t paint a good picture
>spoiler
Proper. The good news is, you won't see it until chapter 17, and it only starts becoming a problem once it hits 200% magnification even further down.
But other than that, congrats on the win.
How goes your Into the Future progress, Anon? You'll need it soon enough, since Aliens start appearing in SoL in Chapter 25.
Of course, you have some other FUN on the road there too.
Imo the most bullshit stage for early SoL is the last gang, because it requires you to stunlock Nyandam with knockback ubless you have some insane dps going on, basically it's a pirate cat check because with bra cats it-s much harder to pull off.
>spoiler
in my experience the first couple times you see it aren't too bad, once you hit The Bathroom you realize why it's so bad. though thankfully i don't remember them putting another one in a stage from that to mina's stage.
>Cleared the Collab stages to the best of my abilities (18 levels on Messier, all but two hi-scores reached) >Cleared the Halloween Gauntlet >Cleared the 4-crown Halloween stage (though not the high-scores on the last one) >Cleared all the Cyclone missions >Cleared the 4-crown monthly unit drop stage >Cleared November Gauntlet
Maybe it's because it was my second go at them and I had a self-imposed mission of maxing out the limited units, but I haven't had to wonder what o use my Energy on since the fricking Bug stage.
Since we're complaining about SoL stages...
One of my monthly missions is to defeat Croakley at a 3-crown SoL, so I compared how many stages I have to clear to get to one, and the shortest route was on Blizzard Boulevard. What I didn't notice until it was too late is that it means I have clear fricking Scorched Toolbooth again.
Finally......uberfest
Also can someone explain in the most simplest way possible on how to switch to track b in the seed reader
Like you're explaining to a kid who just gained consciousness and who has a slight learning disability
it switch track when it say it switch track
it only switch track when
>two same rare cat in a row
in pic me get two wushu in row so second wushu get replaced by pogo, followed by track switch
keep in mind its only 2 rares. 2 supers or 2 ubers in row dont work. >guaranteed uber
in pic if i would do a 15-pull on Psychocat somehow, it would do 10 pulls on the current track, pull the guaranteed uber and then switch tracks.
You cant just switch tracks when you feel like it.
Speaking of, is it even possible to figure out when the next D.Phono would drop. I know there's an option for it on the tracker, but since Fests have most of the regular Ubers available as well, you'd have to take the new Luga into account as well, since the last Epicfest dropped before that one got introduced.
And here's where the problems begin, because the "find next" lists on the Superfest and the Plat Ticket banners, the only that would have both D.Phono and the Luga, list them in different orders (on the Plat, Luga is listed above DP ha, ha, sex thing and it's the other way around on the Superfest). So even if you used the "add future Ubers" option, which one would be D.Phono?
I guess there's really nothing else to do but wait a little over a week until the next Epicfest hopefully gets added to the tracker.
I lucked into D'Phono at the tail end of the anniversary, he was just sitting there at like 11B with a track swap shortly before. Phono took a good bit more effort on my part, lining up my Plat ticket to snag him.
If they attack at the same frame, then they should yes.
You ever notice how a non-z-killer unit can rarely z-kill a zombie if it attacks at the same time as a z-killer unit? Its the same principle.
God these CotC zombie stages are so annoying >Unit limit of 5 >Zombies keep burrowing and stalling my push >Add Metal enemies on top to make things even slower
on topic of restrictions, which fricking madman at PONOS thought that giving unit limit of 5 restriction to New Testament (Clionel revenge) was in any form fair? Without some really serious anti angel ubers, this stage is downright unbeatable
I still have to do Okame's restriction stage which is also a 5 unit limit, worst part of these stages is that once you get to the limit you still have to wait a bit once an unit dies before you can deploy again.
i still haven't done clionel revenge so that's worrying to hear,i was able to okame's renvenge only because i had that one anti black rusher bird uber with me, i don't have any notable angel ubers tough so that's gonna be a problem
For some time now, whenever the Shrine pops up, I always get shafted. No Luck, Bad Luck, Disaster... and nothing to show for it. Sure, its just 5xp, so I'm not losing that much, but now I've pulled Super Luck and I'm still not getting anything.
This guy good?
Saw he had the funny blue color on my platinum seed and went for it since I had 2
Also got regular phono 13 more rolls down on platinum tickets, should I go for him or save it for dark kasli cause I've heard shes good
Yes, he is arguably top 5.
WPhono and Dasli are the 2 best units in the game, in the end its up to preference which one to get.
Do you want busted damage vs traited at 600 range? Then Phono.
Do you want busted damage vs everything thats not surge immune + Curse at 400 range? Then Dasli.
not him but >phono at 291A >dasli at 862B
good thing i have a frickton of catfood and rare tickets stocked up while waiting for a good guaranteed for a legend to get decently close to phono.
Look around ahead of time in your banners (add future Ubers) to see where they move around to and you might be able to snag 'em sooner than expected.
But otherwise, Dark Kasli is nuts. The only exception is if you don't have Jizo yet, cause normal form Phono is a godly midranger.
T. TriKasli and Dual Phono
must be it or something to do with daylight savings since merciless XP didn't show up either. also has two sundays where all of the events slam together at 11PM.
oh well, not hurting for the stuff anyway. every cat i have is at 30 and i just need to wait to get more catseyes.
Well the new big addition were Behemoths! It's a new subtrait that's tacked on to enemies with its own skill that targets it(Behemoth Slayer: deal 2.5x more damage | take 0.6x less damage)
Along with it new Behemoth Culling stages were added that appear every day, where you can get new evolution materials(Evolution Stones) as well as unlock new units which can range from broken(courier) to completely useless(surgeon).
Hope you're a Kanna fan cause she's the only good uber that got Behemoth Slayer.
There's also the Aku Realms, which is a story chapter you have to unlock by beating Empress Research stages that appear each day. If you know, you ever wanted to be spammed by enemy surges and deal with even more obnoxious barriers.

There's also Underground Labyrinth, although it hasn't popped up in a while. Related to that (because that's where you can "farm" them), we have Dark Catseyes (get Ubers from lvl. 50 to lvl. 60) and Ultra Talents (unlocked at lvl. 60)
Did they really give out a free Legendery during 10th Anni?
Also couple questions:
What's the layout for progression on Aku Stages? There's this Aku Realm which I think is like an entire World Map for Aku, but how do I unlock it?
What Relic/Aku/Behemoth units should I be on the lookout for? I'm on my way to Dogemaru so I'm really dry on these 3 traited enemies except for units that generally attack all traits.
When do I get to see Behemoth enemies or get to farm those Behemoth Crystals?
And by the way, Behemoth is an awful name. Could've gone with Ancient or Prehistoric.
>There's this Aku Realm which I think is like an entire World Map for Aku, but how do I unlock it?
Complete the Empress Research set of stages:

>What Relic/Aku/Behemoth units should I be on the lookout for? I'm on my way to Dogemaru so I'm really dry on these 3 traited enemies except for units that generally attack all traits.
I'll be honest chief, we still dont have many good anti-relic options aside from the true forms of the uncanny legends cat, which you can only get at like the very end of UL. You're gonna have to rely on just generalists like Amaterasu, Dasli, Phono and the usual suspects.
Aku has an uber dedicated to countering the trait in just about every banner now. About the bests ones imo are: Lilin, Hevijak and Lucifer. Also keep an eye out for units that have shield piercing like Aku Researcher, or talented Kai. Shot out to talented li'l King Dragon Cat for having surge immune talent making him a strong late game option.
For behemoths once again, the best units are the uncanny legend cats. They all gain behemoth slayer then. Kanna and Courier are other options, too.
>When do I get to see Behemoth enemies or get to farm those Behemoth Crystals?
They should already be unlocked, check your ingame calendar
>And by the way, Behemoth is an awful name. Could've gone with Ancient or Prehistoric.
I mean relics already have the calling of being the ancient ones, and behemoths dont mean old just feral.
PONOS should have called them Monster and the skill Monster Hunter like they clearly wanted to do.
>we still dont have many good anti-relic options aside from the true forms of the uncanny legends cat
I've seen people recommend TF'd Figure Skating Cats.
Oh yeah, Slapstick cats are very important as anti relics
I kinda took those guys for a given.
Still kinda sucks when magnified Pufferfish still kill them in one hit
Not quite
I mean, you get >courier cat
one of the best non-gacha cats in the game that crushes red enemies and is useful against nearly anything non-metal >Luza
despite being a legend, is also theoretically an egg unit (and Luza is basically relic Pai-Pai with behemoth slayer) >haniwa
not OP but quite solid anti-traitless meatshield (helps greatly against R. Ost) >cactus
very solid anti-aku AND surge-immune meatshield, basically rover cat for aku >supercar
great rusher, shield piercer and barrier breaker, with bonus ability to knockback enemy tanks - not to mention, its basically 4 crown maglev >hitman
housewife but anti-traitless and wave immune, fantastic against certain flightless bird frick and traitless threats in general >fallen bear
discount teacher bearcat, it only counters aku in TF (why make bearcat an egg unit PONOS, have you lost your mind???), however, it is essentially a giant middle finger to Aku Gory, and this enemy is considered so obnoxious that this cat is still viable (oh, and you can use it on aku/behemoth master a, but you need to be precise with timings) >mushroom
very good anti-angel, viable on 4 crown (unfortunatelly winged swine still curbstomps it), with being wave immune as a bonus >cat chief
solid anti-zombie, as it has good range, SOULSTRIKE with Z-KILLER (and it is only spammable attacker to have these abilities) and again, viable on 4 crown >soap cat
Roe for aliens (and good generally for behemoths) and it is VIABLE for super hyppoh, unfortunately, it is super rare so no 4 crown usage and it lacks warp immune so it struggles against starred aliens >barrel
very reliable LD shield piercer, which is awfully rare, especially for 4 crown viable unit, with added survivabilty against Aku (60% shield pierce is hilarious, especially for LD area attacker with range 300 and LD 225~400) >tbc
I'm a fan of Farmboy for being a higher ranged sanzo, especially against St.Dober.
And Cop Cat has some good niche uses too as a bulky traitless or general behemoth attacker.
you beat me to Cop lmao >farmboy
eeh, technically not outclassed by Sanzo due to higher range and ridiculous slow uptime, but single target is kinda ass against angel spam and wave immune feel random as only angel that use waves is Rajakong, which is terminated by Mushroom cat
I feel like he is very solid CC unit, just not top priority egg as his trait has been already powercrept
At least his design is funny
>cop cat
basically anti-traitless pizza cat, except it focuses on tanking rather than ranged DPS (from combination of both strong + only 2 KB) >inb4 anyone says outclassed by hitman
not true, cop has a very different purpose than hitman, not to mention surviving longer on the field, unfortunately, he also is banned from 4 crown (shame, 4 crown anti-traitless pizza would be fun) >cat egg pod
only unlocked after beating entire behemoth bs, but it is THE behemoth tanker with ultra high dodge chance, powerful impact damage and great effective defense against behemoths
And that's all useful egg units (12 out of 21, which is a lot for single category to be fair)
Rest you can skip, as they are extremely niche and rarely work in practice (and gained infamy for bad egg units)
The only exception is gas mask cat (ranged meatshield resistant against blacks and behemoth slayer to turbo tank DarkJoe, Ragin Gory and Kurocroc
Downside is they all are hella expensive to evolve (and you can only farm at reasonable rate after UL, gl hf) and most of them cap only at 50 lvl (no + levels)
So no, they are not useless, just require a frickton of grinding
Also metal egg is still not released, so my hopes are high for it being useful (there is at least ONE great cat for each trait, so I hope they don't frick it up, maybe something like 60% crit rate?)
>Also metal egg is still not released
theres also no metal behemoths, which i'm very happy about
Just imagine some bullshit like a Sir Metal Seal with the pushing power of Rajakong
I got an urge to check and it seems like for the last year or so, new updates have come out every month and one to two weeks, and since Japan last got one at the start of October, I'd say there's a good chance they'll get the next one within the week.
And since I "predicted" a new Almighty Uber before v12.7 hit, I decided to try again. As it stands, the regular banner that went the longest without a new unit is Galaxy Gals, with Terun released with v11.2 in January 2022, followed closely by Wargods/Vajiras with Hattori Hanzo on Valentines Day.
So a question for you: if you had to choose between a new space lady and a furry version of a Japanese historical figure, how large should them tiddies be?
Yeah, 13.0 was supposed to come sometime early November, so should be any day now.
At the latest after the current collab is over.
Im curious if they decide to keep adding Ubers to these banners (probably will) or if they stick with 10 each. Wouldn't mind a completely new banner either.
I want a new story chapter for 13.0, if EoC gets the Aku Realms then maybe something similar being made for ItF and CotC would be nice, that way we can also get a TF for Jagando.

Basic Cat is gonna be the final boss of 4* UL
They're finally fixing the stupid Cat Ticket farming
Anime that features Basic Cat as the main character.

He turned into an MS Paint drawing.
Also idk if this means anything, but the previous post Ponos made was at 9:11 AM while this new one was posted at 9:11 PM.
Well it looks like we got an answer as to what this is supposed to be - it's a teaser for BCJP's 11th anniversary. The pixelated cat alluded to the retro RPG theme of this anniversary.
I like the idea of expanding a unit's niche or boosting their capabilities. Having something like Poseidon randomly deal 200k damage with a savage blow is really funny.
Farming them is unbearable however
I think talents are great and can help give units a second chance.
Talent Orbs are great, as long as its not obvious what to use.
Being able to give Balrog Attack up vs Reds so he can solo Berserkory is fun.
Having to put Massive Damage vs Blacks on Pizza because its the obvious thing to do is boring.
I just wish they would remove the NP cost of removing Orbs, thats just dumb.
WanWan isn't too bad with the right units (well the revenge stage is kinda hard) but Z-Onel is genuinely one of the hardest advents.
But Puffsley, Emperor, Empress, Okame, Queen V, Doremi are all very doable. Kappy isn't too bad either if you have stone, but thats locked behind AAC. Papuu is a joke if you have toxic immune or curse units.
i should probably start hitting the advent stages now that i got all the cyclone stage units (sans super cosmic because i haven't touched CoTC) but i probably should just focus on talent orbs and tickets for the time being.
I'd recommend doing Hannya as soon as you can, since Express Cat is genuinely amazing, and the stage isn't too hard if you have Courier + A. Bahamut.
Bakoo is the easiest so thats a good starting point too.
I'm almost done with 3* SoL and a bit through UL and i still haven't really needed talent orbs. I only have one Attack up A for Pizza and Defense up A for Catasaurus and i've been doing just fine.
noted, i'll make sure to knock those out once they come.
definitely only going for talent orbs to put on stuff i use often like pizza, and i don't mind being slow since i've done long grinding related stuff in other video games and it's something to do while i'm waiting for that damn pixies/gals guaranteed.

Japan version released a new Pixie unit with v12.6, so you shouldn't be waiting much longer since there's always a Guaranteed banner when a new unit is introduced (except for Fest exclusives). Although Iron Legion's Sphinx Logistics will probably be brought in first, and you can forget about December since I'm pretty sure the Guaranteed banners then will be the Christmas and Hatsune Miku ones.

i expected i would probably have to wait until the new year, though having to skip out on yet another collab (and one i was wanting to get a couple things from even if they're probably bad) is starting to sting more than i thought.
oh well, patience is key and waiting to get both lumina and jeanne just means i can figure out whether to grab MOMOCO or gaia when i get to 367A (thanks seed placement but after that i have to wait until close to 1000 to even get a whiff of another legend)
After years I've finally completed CoTC 3
FRICK YOU PONOS AND FRICK THIS SHIT GAME
STUPID FRICKING RESTRICTIONS AND OVERPOWERED ALIENS
But now I still got SoL, aku stages, relic stages, along with collecting every troop
Guess you could say......their ain't no rest for the wicked
Is anyone else completely dogshit at team-building or knowing what strats actually work?
Like a lot of it feels like some kind of guesswork, sometimes a team can get absolutely destroyed and you just switch one cat out and suddenly it works, or you can very easily cheese it out with some cat combo. Or maybe it requires a tiny amount of luck to work but it's not immediately obvious.
All I practically do is get 3/4 meatshields, and spam units that are strong against the enemy units, and if that doesn't work and it requires a more precise strategy beyond that I freeze out.
Don't really wanna look up guides cause that defeats the entire point of the game but it's so hard not to when I feel like I'm completely in the blind on what's working and what isn't.
Specially for these Advents are kicking my ass.
Any strategy that requires timing cats immediately makes my brain shut down.
Dont ask me to use carefully timed rushers or time slime cat/supercar correctly
Count me in. I have a hard time adding combos to my teams since I still work under the principle of "as many spammable units as possible" and don't know how to make room, I barely know how to time my units right, and more often than not any super-sniper (so mostly Cyberpunk) strat I try will end up with the enemy pushing right next to it within a minute.
With that said, I mostly use existing strategies to get an idea how to clear a stage myself, since half the time I don't have some crucial unit anyhow.
I mean the game isn't shy at telling you to google for shit
A lot of gimmick stages aren't meant to be brute forced like the ones that hide ridiculously buffed enemies behind a unit limit, something you wouldn't know if you try playing the stage conventionally
I dont think we have the hard numbers? But ideally, you'd want to get enough levels that just spamming all your meatshields still give you a positive cash income in the end

Someone went hardcore autistic on plebbit years ago: >https://www.reddit.com/r/battlecats/comments/3mpf2c/examination_of_the_worker_cat_at_lvl_30/
I love sending my 50% crit chance Paladin and have him whiff 10 times in a row.
Frick metal enemies really, today I had just enough energy for ONE UL stage and I go blind without a critter in the lineup and Sir Metal Seal decides to show up 40 seconds in.
Always just look up a stage's lineup, even if you don't look up spawn timings, just to know what to bring. Stages should just have tags on them so you know what types of enemies are within instead of being full blind, but I don't really expect Ponos to seriously change how things work again after changing their difficulty rating system.
>metal cyclone stage >use moneko/crazed moneko crit up combo >nothing crits for a solid while >after that while crazed moneko lands 95% of crits
maybe i just underestimated the range of metal cyclone for some reason but i thought catasaurus would've hit it often enough to crit more than it did.
And jinx it is, because if my math is right, starting with next level my Ultra Atlantis Logistix won't be able to one-shot a Zuche, and who knows how much damage that'll cause.
I did consider it, but a small one only ups my attack enough for another level. I ended up swapping out Pizza, who was constantly juggled anyway, for Chief Cat and sent him out alongside UAL, or if there's a corpse somewhere he could get to, and it worked out. Of course, I forgot that Pizza was still useful on the Orb stage, but I managed to clear it anyway.
Very nice.
Le'Grim was also my first baron medal mainly because I had enough ubers that outranged him so I could just chip him down over a looong time.
With the new jetpack cat, grinding it should be smoother
Seafarer works fine at 30, never really used him for a generalist, If you had Can Can I would have said that but out of the 3 Pizza is the tankiest and what can dish out the most damage.

What a fricking disaster. Why do I keep taking Bahamut out of my loadout...
>Clear Li'l Cats' +50 stage >Check how the +55 stage looks like >Aku
They can stay at +50 for a while, not like my actual units are anywhere near that anyhow.
The thing that scared me about +55 was more the lack of good anti wave units outside of talents in the special and rare section than the Akus, breezed through after I got Talented Dancer.
Purely hypothetically, would it be okay to call it that? Or would Ponos get slammed with copyright infringement? Or maybe even trademark infringement, I don't know.

i am looking for said attack/defense orbs over anything else, i just wish the drop rates for anything but C/D for even the hardest hidden treasure stages weren't at best 3.5% (and even then it's only B).

i want to get defense orbs for octo, ramen and catasarus but playing ebony dawn so many times drained me on the concept fast and i don't feel like playing the stage with 3 sleipnirs or a steady stream of bun buns and pigeons 60+ times. at least metals only have defense orbs.

Honestly i had an easy enough time just pumping them to level 50 with talent orbs, id start with that. Coincidentally i never needed octopus cat because i ended up collecting so many wave immune units that by the time i needed a wave blocker i had talented out mini-cat and mushroom, and my ubers did the rest
There's no release date yet, but if I had to guess, it'd be somewhere between 11/13 and 11/15, that way the update drops before the anniversary.
It'd be funny if it released 11/11 for the 11th anniversary, but if I'm not mistaken, Ponos doesn't release updates on weekends.
Man these units are absolutely garbage. Aside from lil Gau, the only interesting ones are Herme with 800 backwards omni and Crazed c**t with 780 range.
The rest are just worse versions of cats already in the game.
Even then, I might add, Chibigau TF only holds up as legitimately good unit usable on harder stages
However, his niche is effectively cucked by brainwashed mohawk cat (with its curse immune further making chibigau irrelevant, unless you plan on using both)
>ummm ackshually THIS collab unit isn't bad! I am very intelligent!
For every decent collab cat there are 5 shitty/completely pointless ones. Therefore when speaking about how they generally are, one should expect them to be bad. Give up, you lost.
I wish the Metal Slug cats weren't so horribly weak.

Can you even use them still? Because the wiki lists them as "Unobtainable", probably because that specific Metal Slug gacha is dead.
Anyhow, if the units ever come back, they need to get TFs for sure to make them at least useable. Maybe talents as well.

yeah you can use them fine
I wish I rolled more of them
I had Sirius and Luke before finally getting Gao and he felt terrible to use at that point with his outdated specs. The higher range is nice but 6000 cost is way too high while the other 2 were cheaper and in Sirius' case had so many more perks like fast recharge, LD and immunity to status. She's pretty much a mainstay in my builds
Gao's great but you hit a point where a bulky backliner just isnt as good as kalsi or chronos or really just any dedicated shit-kicker

Now that it gets ported to Global, is the Punt collab a yearly thing like Merc Storia or Toshi? I'll probably pull a little bit, even if these units aren't very good, they bring me closer to UR 15001 and maxed out Superfeline, not to mention the Labyrinth if it ever comes back.
Also this shit is wild, I've got a string of three track swaps in my first ten pulls, and it most likely only stops because it hit a Super rare spot. Also three identical track swaps one after another. But I guess it's to be expected if there's only three Rare units.
Meanwhile on the Epicfest banner, fricking Dhono is still 999+ away. At least I've got three of him in the first 60 pulls on the Plat banner, so I might be able to grab him that way.
>stroll through SoL after beating CotC >beat Red Hood, now things get tricky >reach the bird parade >mfw
I beat it somehow in the end but I feel like I really need something anti traitless that isn't Gladios. And some anti angels too because holy shit that big angel monke in empress' excavation is a fricking TANK.
Only viable counter to Rajakong is ramen and mushroom, and even then ramen gets shredded when ape decides to spam waves, doubling its DPS
Fortunately, mushroom devours Rajakong like courier Ahirujo but it is not a sign of good balance there, PONOS
Yeah, and it gets even worse
In the newest update, they added miniature version of D. Cyclone
Not only she is fast as frick, has huge DPS (single target thankfully) and has way too much knockbacks, but for some godforsaken reason, she has random chance to generate mini-surge on every attack which means she will quickly flood your whatever line with mini-surges
Fun
Oh, and she’s support enemy btw, there’s chance she can be spammed
The one on UDP is OK but quite outdated by now
A lot of high priority talents listed the like Kai Shield Pierce are obsolete by now thanks to the increasing number of shield piercing units

Most of the Rare/Super/Special ones still hold up for the most part.
Only questionable stuff is Dancer Cat. And Cyberpunk is only useful if you have no better backliners. Housewife also isn't all that useful, to me at least.
And i never really used Sanzo outside of Cyclone stages, not sure why hes top priority when Ramen is usually enough.
Maybe the list isn't all that good after all.
My priority would be Can Can (Money up + Speed), Pizza Wave, Catasaurus Crit and Cameraman (Survive minimum, maybe more).
Then just look what units you use most often and look if they have any worthwhile talents.
>idk what you mean by hypermaxable
Just if they're worth getting to level 50 at all.
Although now I realize naming Ubers is kinda the wrong move since there are so many, plus I don't really use those but I heard they're very very good.
Courier is busted and even more busted at 50.
Slapstick is alright, but i personally don't use em, even against relics.
For the Ubers its mostly if you have anything better that you can max instead.
Aphrodite is worth boosting, unless you have Phono
Ganesha is worth boosting, unless you have Shishilan Pasalan, who does more damage at higher range for similar cost and without needing talents. Only upside Ganesha has is more HP and lower cooldown.
I finnaly managed to finish all the advent bosses and cyclones, minus tyrant nyandam and kawano, and i just had to have rock cat last because of stupid
now time to get fricked by the growing strange and sol as of now
Repostan from the last thread (or the one before that?) because I just got an Elder Fruit Seed from Floor 20 of Infernal Tower and needed to check who I can use it on.
there's only one unit that uses Elder Seeds, so you can keep collecting them and turn them into more Fruits.
Finally cleared my first Merciless Advent stage, the Black Okame one. There's no way I can do it again with a 5 unit limit though, so I' ve got to ask, is not-TF'd Medusa still useful?
I have an idea for rework of cat cannon >base cannon - wave
With level upgrades, increase attack and add 50% weaken to the wave for 10f base level (+10f for each upgrade, up to 300f) and attack (increases 750 per level, up to 26300) >base cannon - mini wave
It changes into mini-wave attack with drastically increased recharge time (900f) but much lower maximum attack (175 attack at lvl 1, 5260 attack at lvl 30) but has chance to deal savage blow (11% at lvl 1, 40% at lvl 30)
I also have an idea for another base >piercerspawn
First, it fires surge instead of wave (surge duration increases every five level, from 20f (lvl 1) to 120f (lvl 30) for cannon upgrade and it instantly pierces shield on hit, it also deals lower damage per hit (200 at lvl 1, 6000 at lvl 30), but total damage skyrockets on max level (up to 36000)
Style makes units more resistant to savage blows (at max style units take only 50% of savage blow attack, which still higher than normal but it allows meatshields or attackers to survive Aku Gory spam)
And base of course takes reduced damage from aku (20%)
Sorry bros Cat Cannon is dead, it's all about that extra 15% Cat HP and resistance that the stage is centered around and that you will absolutely need because it's what gives you an edge at winning.
Hope you've been farming your base mats!

Spinoff game pogo cat is such frustrating piece of shit
I am playing this failure of good game design to get 3 rare tickets but mission is beyond obnoxious (reach 30 m which is huge task, not to mention to do it twice)
Reasons are: >it is way too easy to undershoot or overshoot your jump, even at slow speed >every two meters wind bring huge amount of leaves into background, which at higher speeds distracts you and effectively lags the game >camera keep going up every raised slope, which is utterly fricking annoying and genuinely distracting at higher speeds >pixes' jump bonus cannot stack, forcing you to take L in situations where two additional jumps would save you >upgrades have NO impact on how you can make distance progression easier >ground design has grass on sides above rocky surface that have NO collision, tricking your brain into thinking that you made safe jump when you get run ender >ad countinues no longer work when I play now, when trying to retry connection game crashes >absolutely no updates since 2019 >on top of that, levels are randomly generated in most spiteful way possible, with only most annoying shit locations remaining unchanged >FRICKING SLOPES
This game looks and play fun but it is way TOO demanding for such reward >inb4 skill issue
I would loved it to be actual skill issue, however, it is clearly not the case
My brain is somewhat affected by two disorders, both that make it difficult for brain to process too much information at once, and that game does not care
I would not rant if AD CONTINUES DID FRICKING WORK

My record was 80m
Play with Cat Machine or Gross Cat, their larger hit box makes it much easier to collect the floating items. Smaller units means you may end up making a bad jump just to maintain your combo and end up dying instead
I managed to get all the missions that send stuff to the main game a good few months ago. Kept playing for a while, and as you might expect, the missions kept getting more annoying. I finally stopped when I got the "12 fairies" one, since that's by for the most annoying goal, since it only counts the ones you have on you (if you use one it doesn't count anymore), and if you pick a cat that has any upgrades at all into fruit get, you're just lowering your own chances of getting a fairy because they get replaced by fruit. But I was stuck with nothing else to do on a flight recently and I finally cleared it.
I mean, you can' expect a gacha rare to compete with a bear variant, especially a CC unit.
Still, I might be biased because it was my first anti-zombie unit, but Gardener is pretty helpful, it came in clutch for me on several occasions freezing Haka, and the constant hits are always welcome if you have metal fodder scurrying about but have no luck with crits.
Still needs protection though.
Just met this fricker in ItF ch2. Got my ass handed to me.
I suppose now I'll prioritize evolving Onmyoji cat.
Man, having to deal with both ayys and zombies turned out to be a bigger challenge than I expected.
In terms of anti-zombie Ubers, I have Poseidon and Pumpkin and Skull Rider Vars. Both are sub 20 cuz I'm always low on XP.
Haven't tried using Vars at all yet, but Poseidon couldn't even land a single hit on zombear.
I also have Piledriver and Vaulter supers, but haven't leveled neither of them.
At 360 standing range, Cadaver Bear is a genuine nightmare to deal with.
I just checked for reference, Poseidon has 350 standing range and thus will either always get hit or never hit Cadaver Bear himself.
Skull Vars would actually be decent, despite "knockback aliens" being a downside, he has a healthy 445 standing range and the slow is nice.
I'm not entirely sure who Pumpkin is. >Piledriver
Mid. >Vaulter
Level that shit up. She'll be one of your best anti-Zombie units although she will have some troubles with Cadaver Bear if he's alone, since her standing range is only 350, but if there's anything in front of him, she'll be fine, since her attack area is 200-500. Once you start maxing Vaulter/Housewife, you can even use her as a generalist, cause her damage is pretty damn good, despite the sluggish recharge.

Gotcha. I'll focus on Vars then. But I think I better finish ItF ch3 and get Ururun. I unlocked Alcatraz today, almost there!
And Pumkin is a brainfart. I for some reason remembered Vars as "Pumkin Knight", then checked the game and forgot to delete "pumkin".
My best solution for dreadbear is usually to stall him with Shigong after he buries while the rest of my cats destroy the base.
lvl50 Shigong can surive for 5s against a 300% bear which is sometimes even enough for him to get a hit off.
apart from zkill long range ubers, if you have shigong or brainwashed whale they can do a pretty good job of getting through in some situations. there's also the classic anti-zombie strategy of stacking recharge speed up combos and spamming holy cannon, though you'll need a decent level on it and it still might not recharge quick enough for an enemy that pushes as hard as cadaver bear does

I'm reasonably sure you are the only person here that finds this 'meme' amusing. The comment section of the wiki is also full of morons so you might be in better company over there.
This is so weird, so many units still don't even have a third and they are already working towards 4ths? Well atleast this means there finally wont be useless Uber cats right? R-right?
Christ. My two whole dark catseyes should be ample to cover this update right? Frick me man I haven't even tried the Labyrinth yet. Theres so much fricking content and grind introduced over the past 2 years its starting to get really out of hand now. I'm thinking ponos may be actively punishing us for tracking now. >okay have your unit cheaters >700 stones to tf >500 hour catseye grind
Just take your time bro. By the looks of it, it seems like you're going through a slow progress and that's fine. No need to get everything at once, since it's not going to go away like a collab event. Plus I'm sure that pornos will actually make dark catseyes farmable overtime since they're throwing all these features
13.0 BCJP Update here
https://clamchowder.pythonanywhere.com/static/update.html
Thank god the clam chowder dude's doing these again. It was a pain to put together manually.
Highlights: >Infernal Tower Floors 41-50 >True Form Uril (he's cracked as shit) >4th forms for Ubers. Requires Lv. 60 >11th Anniversary (new event gacha unit has 100% slow + surge, and I can't spot the catch) >New GirlsMons uber
>>True Form Uril (he's cracked as shit)
He gains more range, strong vs, curses, immune to surge, behemoth slayer
AND targets aku. Aku Gory eat your heart out
How do resist up combos work exactly? Wiki says that resist effect is taking 1/4 damage but how does it add up? I assume it normally multipliers the damage by 0.25 and 10% resist bonus removes 0.025 from that so we get 0.225 multiplier.
If so, is there any point in using resist up over unit defense up?
A very weird unit that's aimed at.. traitless + Aku as a way to chip away at backliners from a safe distance while still supporting the front. The fact her DPS is so grossly split is unfortunate.
I hope some luga (expect for luffy and shishi, for obv reasons) will get 4th form
Some of them have incredibly fun designs but unfortunately they underperform in the actual gameplay
Papaluga 4th form will actually make it good.
Right now though I really don't get it, if you are going to make 4th forms to make bad Ubers better, why make it require level 60+ a shitton of behemoth stones, people would rather just use Ubers that are good to begin with, unless you make them stupidly broken.
Perhaps make decent unit (like Assass and Piccolo) CC skyrocket and become far more usable (for example cutting recharge time in three would be good start, cost down to make them stackable) and give them more knockbacks to not die on single line break
It would take more of an effort to not get them, honestly. Still, even if the amount of exp is laughable, it's still 240 catfood and 8 Leaderships. Well, you'd need about two Leaderships' worth of Energy to clear this first wave quick, so lets count it as a net gain of six.
>It would take more of an effort to not get them, honestly.
Okay, I've reached the final two stages on the four-crown Alluring Princess and I'd like to revise my statement.
Yeah, I hate how stupidly overbuffed those collab enemies get
Like not only they are aesthetically unpleasing, they also have to be stupidly difficult as well? Touching collab stages is like touching shit to dig up some treasure
Have you acquired Ururun Wolf yet? Once you do, you unlock Enigma Stages, and one of them will be Hunter's Map - and that's the stage where you can "farm" specific colors of B.Stones.
I'm thinking it will just be 1 bounce, same as FF reflect spell.
Is anyone else confused as shit about their tracking on this punt collab? My tracks are switching and double switching every fricking roll. I can't map this shit, I know it's going to frick me up.
The Punt banner is filled exclusively with collab units, and there's only three Rares in it, so you literally have a 33% chance of a trackswap with every two rare spots next to each other.
Speaking of, I assume there's gonna be a guaranteed banner at the end of all this?
i wish all collab events had only their units, kinda sucks when you get nothing or barely anything from their capsules (i only ended up with wunder in the evangelion one and that was only because of that one's guaranteed banner)
I have only two stages left before I finish SoL, and I'm a bit worried about the one that's before Mecha-Bun: >https://battle-cats.fandom.com/wiki/Unkept_Promises >10M HP on the base >No spawns until 200 seconds in >After that, a frick you wave of overbuffed Doge variants >800 Energy cost
Am I stressing over nothing? I figure I could put Cool Japan up, as well as the Money Up combo with Roe so I can send A.Baha those few seconds earlier, but what else should I put in? Manic Lion for the speed? Or something cheaper?
Cleared it! Cleared Mecha-Bun as well, and the first stage of UL to get his TF as well. Now I can get all my Legendary Cats up to lvl. 40, but should I? I'm boosting Bahamut for sure, and Hermit as well, especially since his TF targets Relics, who else should I prioritize, and who should I ignore?
Also speaking of TFs, I have four Elder CFs, and wouldn't you know it, four Legendary Cats I can True Form (I'm not counting Mecha-Bun because I don't have ten Epic CFs on me). Should I evolve them all? I figure since I've unlocked Growing Strange now, I can always get more later.
Thats what people told me as well, and i ended up not needing any of em for (at least early) UL.
Slapstick in particular is way too expensive for a midranger.
I only use Mina for 4Crown SoL occasionally.
People said the same with MechaBun for Dogumaru for some reason.

Theres no harm in TF-ing them, but unless you already used em pre-TF in SoL you probabyly won't suddenly start using em now. Theres a pic somewhere at the beginning of this thread with what units need (Elder) Fruits.
I think the priority is to TF SlapSticks and Mina, then Ururun, then anyone else

I ended up doing all four, since I already have Slapstick, the only two other gacha units I own that require Elder Fruits are Delinquent and Saki, and there's two more of them coming up from UR rewards. The problem is, I was so focused on the rare fruits that I didn't notice how many regular ones are needed to do it and now I'm down to low single digits on those as well. So I guess I'm farming those again for the foreseeable future.
But now another question: since I can get most of my units to lvl. 50 now, who should I focus on first? I'm guessing Courier, Pizza, Ramen - the usual suspects, and of course whichever ones I keep using all the time, but who else? And does it make sense to max out Manic Eraser? Or am I at a point where I might as well use vanilla Cat variants?
My priorities were
Special- the lil's i needed for akus, cactus and lil eraser. I have level 50 dark laser, kuwagata and kabuto but i dont really NEED them
Rare- courier, catosaurus. Next up were generalists like shigong ramen and catelite, then specialists like supercat, slime, mushroom, ect. I got them as i needed them, and also cyborg for 4star SOL
Super rare- bullet train, manic lion and manic eraser so you can grind faster. Then slapstick, fishman, cancan, whatever
Uber- your generalists first. Your kalsis, chronoses, siriuses, anything that you can bring to most fights, bonuses for good resistances
HMS seems decent like a more expensive Thief Cat/talented CanCan. Don't think there's any other uber with the extra cash trait so she seems like something you could use at the beginning of games to clear the path while making money and not doing too fast
The last fruit stage doesnt even have gories....
The real problem isnt the stage itself, cause its rather easy. It's that it only ever drops seeds so you gotta do it like a hundred times
The last stage doesn't even have Aku Gories.
Instead it has 2 Fallen Bears.
Also, once you've beaten it once, you can just auto it via 2 CPUs, since it isn't locking the reward behind a followup stage.
No you can't. They specifically gated off Aku Fruit from Gold CPU usage for reasons I can't comprehend. There are Catamin stages for Aku Fruit now which is nice I suppose.
you can always hold off on spending until you decide you actually need it to clear a stage. personally, I haven't used fiend all that much because there are plenty of other options for anti aku
Bit of a niche unit, but there are some units it can come in handy against like le'behemoth or death kory/medusa-san
I mean you can still do all that without resist aku, but it makes it much easier to utilize
>make a handpicked team to deal with an Uncanny Legends stage >lose with 69% HP remaining on the boss >try again with my unga bunga default loadout with Dasli and Phono >easily overwhelm everything and beat the stage effortlessly
Fest units are legitimately busted.
If a unit is in the sweet spot (590-600 range), a level 30 Phonoa does 30,600 damage every 7.2 seconds. If they're Traited (and it's very likely they are), you're looking at 91,800 or 122,400 depending on their Trait(s), since some don't have Treasure buffs.
A boss like Great Ape Luza has 2.5 million HP, which means Phonoa, with no other damage, could theoretically kill him in 26 attacks. On top of the fact his attacks have insane coverage to clean up other units.
DKasli is similarly nuts, sporting 68,000 damage every 5.8 seconds, spread over 4 hits AND Curse, which can make many stages a lot easier. And because of her Surge reapplying the Curse, it has almost 100% uptime on enemies, even if her damage isn't as intense, she's still insanely good damage-wise and support-wise.
>Never fought a Cadaver Bear before >Bring Reika to Future1 Outbreak Greenland >Literally bully the shit out of him because she has like 100 extra standing range
Wew.
Cadaver is fine if you have a zombie killer that outranges it since Shigong walls it no problem
Main issue is the zombie killers in that category are all specific ubers
Freshly clered SoL guy again, just cleared my first Growing Strange, got the Alien stage twice, cleared it with not much problem, but then got the Black one, and Razorback remains a problem as he always is, especially when supported by Tackeys. I guess if I want to be able to clear all possible continuation stages I can't have most of my team only target one trait.
You either play russian roulette and use a team thats good against one trait or you try to balance it with absolutely busted fest-units.
Courier for red, Bomber for Black, Ramen for Angel, Catasaurus for Metal and something to outrange Zamelle, Prof A. & Winged Pigge (Phono works, Balrog helps against Pigge at least).
You don't necessarily need a z-killer, as long as you have a unit that can slip past Zamelle when its dead.
Plus 2-3 Meatshields so you can at least try to defend against the lil bun buns.
You will still lose the Metal stage 90% of the time unless you have Nanaho.
Some stages are more brutal than others in Growing Strange honestly >red stage
Unless you have courier, you are going to have bad time >floating stage
ruthless DPS check stage with pigeons because frick you, you can’t stack here (bring octo) >black stage
bombercat is must, even then razorback + tackey push extremely fast, pizza is very recommended (wave talent needed) >angel stage
winged pigge killing your meatshields and cala maria sniping everything else, fun, ramen is required to even survive >alien stage
turf war with pushing backliners vs your long range attackers, this one is forgiving if your generalists are strong >metal stage
bullshit
no money, extremely strong metals and critters being useless on every other stage >zombie stage
only easy stage honestly, zombies present cannot push too much and any anti-zombie attacker crushes them
Overall metal is basically insta loss
Black and angel are very brutal
Alien and red need strong generalists
Floating is pain if you suck at preserving units
Zombie is basically free win
So yeah, the growing strange is filled with schizophrenic difficulty (albeit thank frick for no relic/traitless/aku stages, I would kill myself if they added these)
I remember when Growing Strange was considered the most cancerous thing in the game. That was also the time when starred levels were actually starred and leaderships didn't exist.
My struggle against Growing Strange Continues.
Cleared Red stage, between Courier and Octopus the Shy Boy was a nice source of early money, enough to make the spawned Capy have too much to choke on to be a real danger. Although that might be because it didn't get any crits.
Speaking of crits, I rolled Metal too, and that's where not having any cheap critters bit me in the ass, I was only able to spawn Nanaho right before my base fell. Maybe if I replace my Mushroom Cat with Ramen I'll be able to at least kill the Metal Doges through high frequency attacks.
>aybe if I replace my Mushroom Cat with Ramen I'll be able to at least kill the Metal Doges through high frequency attacks.
Nope, didn't work. Maybe if I spawn Ramen + meatshields as soon as the first Metal Doge spawns instead of waiting for them to get near the base? Or maybe I should switch out my cannon for the Freeze Ray?
Continuing my struggle, got the Angel stage and I can put that one on the list of stages I can clear.
Also replaced my Metal Macho with Green Shell which decreases the mobility of my tank wall, but might be more useful on the Metal stage - it would take 10 more nibbles from metal doges without knockback, and since it has the same range as Ramen, they won't walk in front of it to fight like with Metal Macho. Although since Metal Doges have area attack, they'll probably just damage all of them at the same time.
If nothing else it might hold them off for a while longer, enough for me to spawn Nanaho. But I'll have to wait until next time I get the Metal stage.
>Ragnaroks gets curse immune talent
Heh, the worst status to get as an attack only unit
Really needed an increase attack animation talent though since that 4 seconds keeps making it whiff its attacks
I wouldnt mind if Ragnarok ultra form increased his attack animation even more to the point its Filibuster tier, but gave him ridiculous piercing omni strike range(like ramiel) and a shitton of damage.
Would make all cats rank up and add even more cats
I wouldnt mind if Ragnarok ultra form increased his attack animation even more to the point its Filibuster tier, but gave him ridiculous piercing omni strike range(like ramiel) and a shitton of damage.
>usable Filibuster
kek, splendid idea anon, maybe add 5s freeze to make Filibuster feel like trash
It'll make your life a lot easier, since you'll be able to farm harder EXP stages, which means you can get more units to 30+ and open the potential for actually farming fruits for true forms.
New info: >Guaranteed Punt banner on 22nd-27th >Alongside it Iron Legion with new Sphinx Corps and later Almighties >New Plat/Legend banners starting on 22nd as well, frickers moved Dhono away from me again >Dynastyfest on the 27th

IF THIS IS A FRICKING JOKE THEN I'M NOT LAUGHING PONOS
Theres no way they are doing 2 collabs right after each other right?
I can just blast all my CF on the guaranteeds without having to worry about Miku in a week right?
I don't even care about Princess c**t but i could get Diabolosa and Subterra Guardians from this
I don't have Emperor (and since he's almost 240 spaces away I doubt I'll get him this time), but I use Momoco decently often. Long-lasting CC against three different traits and a guaranteed wave on top of that is a pretty nice set of abilities.
With that said, Emperor looks like a Legend Rare version of Ebisu, and I use that fricker ALL THE TIME.
I dunno about Emperor, he seems like far better nyandam for non-4 crown stages, but with raise of anti-backliner meta in stages, he will have trouble with everything LD/wave/surge, since lack of immunities hurt him very much, I hope TF would make him busted like Lasvoss (I am afraid he would cost a tons of rare shit though)
Momoco on other hand works very well in her niches, as well as having ridiculously long wave, but her iffy attack cycle (strongest hit is last, wave is first) and CC being usable against already heavily powercreeped traits as well as her dogshit survability makes her clunky to use
I would recommend Emperor for both being unique and looking a lot cooler (unless you wanna have cute and funny girl)
I use momoco heaps, not for damage but for the freeze. Damage is just a bonus. Think of her like a hyper bombercat and you cant go wrong. I'll never own emperor because hes an elusive gay.
I'm surprised no one in the thread has brought this up yet, but there's something new in the event data called "WE ARE THE OUTCATS."
It lasts from 11/20 to 11/24, and it looks like Ponos is just giving away 999 cat food.
I wonder if Ponos heard us b***hing about how the Brainwashed stages still haven't been scheduled yet and are using this to apologize.
>new ubers means updated platinum banner >edgy phono is further away
fricking hell. now I gotta spend tickets to get him before the guaranteed banners arrive next week.
Same, except I don't have nearly enough tickets to get to the Dhono spot anyway. And doing guaranteed is my only way of getting the Punt Boat unless I go for spot 77.
I guess I'll survive a while longer without him. With any luck, I'll get him during/after the Miku collab.
I have more than enough tickets but it means I'll have to pull on the PP banner to get some new units. the only problem is that there's so many rare dupes lined up Im gonna be switching tracks every 5 or so pulls, sometimes with the track switches going on for 3-4 consecutive pulls. gotta be careful I don't switch tracks at the wrong place and miss dphono.
Wait let me see if I got this right:
So I need hundreds of these things called "Behemoth Stones" if I want to evolve some units, right?
And the only way to get them is these stages that appear for a couple hours everyday, which you can only do once, upon which they dissapear for the next day, giving you 1 or 2 stones a day, correct?
But the stone you get is completely randomized so you might get the ones you need or maybe you get one of the other 4?
Yeah this is moronic.
So which stages should I be doing if I want to maximize the amount of stones of a certain colour and also it being the easiest?
Because also while there's 20 levels in each stage there is practically no different in droprates they just have 20 levels for some reason.
>So which stages should I be doing if I want to maximize the amount of stones of a certain colour and also it being the easiest?
the Hunters Map Enigma stages. They are the only ones that 100% give you the thing you need and the only reliable source of yellow stones.
For Gapra/Ashvini/Jinfore you generally want to, well do the latest one to progress. Otherwise the easiest one after the last intermission stage. Each section (1-4,5-10,11-16,17-19) has different droprates but within each section they are the same regardless of stage.
Yup. Its a fricking joke. If you have an actual life, like work and kids and shit and can't autistically dedicate yourself to collecting stones it will take literally forever.
if you beat ul you unlock hunter's map 4. it's not easy but it drops a shit ton of stones and gems
>If you beat ultra legends
This is terrible advice for people still on cotc etc. How many stages is there exactly from the start of SoL to the end of Ultra Legends? I'm constantly plowing through UL and it feels like it NEVER fricking ends.
Cleared my first Growing Epic stage, something I've been waiting for so long. Got a continuation stage on first try, but lost. Got it again on the third, and knowing better what awaits me, I managed to clear it as well.
Shit, I might TF Lasvoss by the end of the year.
I had three tries on the continuation stage this time and my critter just wouldn't crit, so frick it, replacing it with Nanaho. Hopefully I'll have a chance to try her out before the stage disappears.
>Forest of Gapra Ganglion stage >all my ubers get one or two shot, even disposable ubers like Balrog and Thunder Jack are a waste of cash >beat the stage just spamming meatshields and CanCan, Courier, Fishman instead
Eh, I guess that's more F2P friendly I guess
Not looking forward to the other areas
You can pretend it doesn't exist with the increasing amount of new Black enemies that outrange it or are stop immune. Razorback will always be there to ruin your day though
Razorback is another Bore variant but much MUCH more worse
For starters, it is almost as fast as Doge Dark, with none of backswing to stop him dead in tracks
He is very bulky even at 100% and with 2 KB he can take shit ton of damage before being pushed away
He deals monstrous damage per hit, and factor in it Bore standard DPS, and this monster can and will push scarily fast
Even worse, after first KB (under half of health) he gains 50% boost to attack, resulting in near cyclonic DPS
Basically, you NEED CC to not die against him, with bomber and pizza being your best bets
Shit, with Sphinx added to the regular rotation, the December Uberfest moved the Vanilla Iz I had hopes of getting like 300 spaced further down. I guess the good news is, maybe Dark Phono will move closer next Epicfest.
Also I think I'll start calling him "Daphne", so I go "Jeepers!" once I finally pull him.
Speaking of pulling, there's one Uber spot I might grab after I'm done with the c**t Pollab, so which one sounds better? >Hades >Bride Chronos >Can Clan Heroes
Hades is pretty good as a generic tanker, but even he gets shredded by a lot of the lategame stuff.
Bride Chronos has low uptime and two of her debuffs aren't all that usefull to begin with.
Last i heard, Cat Clan Heroes is contender for worst Uber in the game and definitely the worst dynamite.
i'd go with Hades.
>Last i heard, Cat Clan Heroes is contender for worst Uber in the game and definitely the worst dynamite.
Even with all the rare seeds they require for TF? Unfortunate. I guess I'll go for Hades then, thanks.
I wouldnt go that far and say Cat Clan is among the worst ubers, certainly not as bad as shit like Dioramos(right now) or White Rabbit
It's just more alright, just ok. The main reason I wouldnt touch them though is that the designs for the unit are pretty damn ugly
*Aliens in Proving Grounds 3: >General Gregory in the opener >General Gregory, Project A, and Spacefish Jones in 3rd Dusk >Shibalien Elite and Corporal Weyland in Final Dusk
Also, bring several Critters.
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. You get crowns from SoL all the time, regardless if there's a Legend Quest going on or not, up to a total of 49*4=196. The amount of usable crowns at the start of LQ is equal to how many SoL chapters you've cleared and it resets every time LQ comes back.
My progression stagnated since getting into UL
I may occasionally beat the latest stage I have access to every month or so but I haven't really touched it much while still playing daily
i honestly blame relics. There is not really much of an incentive to doing UL.
They only thing you get is Units that are only good against more relics, which barely even appear outside of UL.
Doesn't help that most actually new enemies introduced in UL are either just normal unit but relic or complete asscancer like St. Dober and Bore Jr.
Maybe but the main reason I rushed to the end of SoL was to unlock various TFs and increase the level cap. With that done I'm not too excited about trodding through all these puzzle stages again in UL. I actually ended up finishing 4crown SoL with all that spare energy about half a year ago
Bulky as shit, surprisingly swift enough to eat a lot of ground when undisturbed, high DPS with omni that lets him push scarily fast and typing that makes him immune to most counters (angel is surprisingly non powercreeped without ubers)
Oh, did I mention about 33% CHANCE TO GENERATE LEVEL 3 SURGE AHEAD HIS RANGE?
He is actually Dober on serious crack, and exchanging wave for surge is straight up cancer
On topic of cancer, I really hate gobble (my dick) and its toxic forcing you to abandon meatshields and prioritize piercing attackers, random zollow killing your line (no front or back, JUST YOUR LINE), starred aliens in UL being overbuffed, entire existence of Cadavear (tfw cadavear bearcat is bad against it), Koronium forcing moronic strategies, bore jr being another hellspawn peon, ANOTHER FRICKING TACKEY VARIANT (WITH EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE FLAVOUR - AKU - BC FRICK YOU PONOS HATES YOUR GUTS), aku kory and rain D being ascended cancer, zombie capy existence, overall behemoths' presence in last chapters and boss of saga being literal nightmare for everyone unprepared >tl;dr
As experienced BC player, I hate UL with passion for being basically bs tier difficulty version of SoL with enemies being threat by themselves bc frick synergy I guess
My progression stagnated since getting into UL
I may occasionally beat the latest stage I have access to every month or so but I haven't really touched it much while still playing daily
My motivation is to at least get Dogumaru so I can get to Hunter's Map 3 and finally start farming Yellow stones.
My progression stagnated since getting into UL

I haven't cleared a UL subchapter in months now, only 3~4 away from Doron but I honestly can't find the motivation to do it
Dreading the day when they add the UL 4star unit that is completely busted
I'm in exactly the same place and have about the same level of motivation. It just drags on for so bloody long. The run to Doron seems to be a particular slog.
Ponos plays really fast and loose with the XP and Catfood during these events. I'm up almost 1500 CF and 30,000,000 XP in the last six hours. Yet at other times it's a struggle to put together even 2-3 million XP to level up an uber. Upon finishing grateful XP that'll be another 20 million or so... good god.
i dont know about a list, but personally ive never needed >rare
thief, witch, archer, swordsman, stilts or tin cat >super rare
apple, bath, juliet
all the others ive been glad to have at least once, and you never know if ponos will make them meta with talents or 4th forms down the line so chose wisely
I mean, obviously I'm gonna unlock them just the levels are good enough. Was talking more about dupes to be used as either + levels or Talent Points.
I'm kinda assuming units that are only good as debuffers (slowers, stunners, etc) don't need + levels but I dunno.
The only ones you really shouldn't turn to dust are:
Catasaurus, Cyborg, Ramen, Camera, Shigong, Catellite, CanCan, Swimmer, Pizza, Housewife, Sushi, Kotatsu, Surfer
Questionable/Personal Preference if you use em much:
Wheel, Slapstick, Cutter, Nymph, Mitersaw, Cyberpunk, Matador
Shit like Archer/Swordsman/Fencer are technically stat-based units, but when are you ever going to use em.
Thor is also questionable since he needs +80 to even start to become viable.
Everything else should probably be turned to NP
I always use maxim as a red tank. Hes tough as shit. True I've got him at around 70+ but I think thats really bad advice on that particular unit, especially for 4 star stages where you can't use roe. I often just use maxim instead of roe anyway because I hate his cooldown.
Any unit whose sole purpose is support via debuffs usually has bad stat scaling both in terms of defense and damage (in the Rare/SR category anyway, Ubers are all over the place) and as such isn't worth dumping +Levels into unless you desperately need it for a niche stage situation where it needs to be able to tank a hit and is relatively close to that breakpoint.
So for example, there's no reason to +level on units like Bishop or Apple, cause their bad range paired with meh defenses make them terrible for scaling into later stages.
>Satoru
Yes, but not much. >Ice Elemental
As in Ice Cat or Bliza?
Ice Cat sees very little use nowadays, but is at least usable on certain Red focused stages.
Bliza is actually really good and will serve you well when you start doing Into the Future and Cosmos Zombie stages. She's also good versus Horrorpotamus, the currently active Baron.
>yesterday >ItF ch3 Moon >I dillydallied long enough, time to finish this! >even though I don't have all cp3 anti-alien treasures... >alien Bahamut is spends more time frozen than attacking >it's actually working >except he breaks tru >kills my base >6% HP >fug >Some cat food is a small price to pay for such an achievement, right? >kill it >alpaca spawns

Wasted cat food, sniper and rich cat... It's was a cascade of bad decisions.
But now I got all anti-alien treasures at 100%, beat it on first try. Perma-freezing bosses is great.
>finally beat clionel by spamming ramen like crazy among other things >check the next stage >5 unit limit
Are they having a fricking giggle with this shit?
Hope you've got Juvens from the Merc Storia banner, he's a ridiculously strong tank against Angels. As long as he's on your frontline, it doesn't matter what four other units you send out.
Might be a good idea to have Issun Boshi though, with his speed and Angel/Traitless targeting it's like he's made for that map.
How come every time a starred alien comes its either ridiculously weak or strong enough where a single Gregory or Peng completely demolishes everything you got.
There is no inbetween.
Research up (L)+(S) in the first row
Courier, Camera, Lil Eraser, A.Bahamut and Jiangshi or Yulala depending on the stage.
A.Bahamut in particular can oneshot the overbuffed princess c**t.
Sometimes the Worker Start lvl up (M) with Atlantis + Courier instead of the research up (s)
if you're talking about the one that has huge range, she has fast speed, low hp, and only 1 kb, so in a lot of the stages you can stop spawning units to lure her to your base and then rush her down with courier, a baha, etc
Bad Guys Combo, Kyubey Cat Lv50, Ramen Cat Lv50+49 full talents, Nono CC Lv45+2, Jellycat Lv50, Heavy Assault C.A.T. Lv50 full talents, Awakened Mina and Urs Lv50
Nanaho is definitely a save choice because Metals absolutely suck, but Ushiwakamaru deletes Angel stages from existence and Luminalia does the same for most Aliens. They are all save bets that you definitely won't regret.
The earlier stages have the highest magnification increases, then they lower as you get further and further along UL
So like, you'll fight absolutely brutal 200% Sir Rels early on then they'll just be a mild 120% by the end
Personally I felt like it wasn't as steep. Rather than focusing on overbuffing the enemies like what you see at the end of SoL, they add enemies with gimmicks like raynard and red hnah instead.
The earlier stages have the highest magnification increases, then they lower as you get further and further along UL
So like, you'll fight absolutely brutal 200% Sir Rels early on then they'll just be a mild 120% by the end
Oh you mean base UL, not starred
Then yeah earlier stages are only really problematic cause youre gonna be lacking good antiRelic options. Once you start unlocking more of them youre gonna be perfectly fine.
The later chapters do get up to some bullshit, though. Mainly with surge spam, but you do get more anti-surge options nowadays than when the chapters first released. So if you got some of those, they should be manageable too
One one side, feeding all XP I have to Superfeline is 100% entirely useless.
On the other, he'd reach level 20 so it'd look very cool and It would please my completitionist brain...
For me its less of a stuck on and more of a "i can't be fricked doing these rn"
Volcano 11 because frick Hazuku
Top Dog because frick Wanwan, Gobble AND Zapy
Z-Onel because the reward just isn't worth the effort
UL13+ because UL really isn't all that fun
Now i'm just doing event stuff and the occasional metal hippoe/XP/Catfruits
not stuck but i'm holding off doing SOL stages after mina's until i get S talent orbs for the units i want and holding off CoTC until i get lumina, also good since i can work on getting materials for the cannons until i have to worry about ammonite.
Gateway to gapra forest II bc I have nothing to counter giant aku master A
Peril in Volcano I bc my courier is too weak
Burning Sands 5 bc I did not do CotC yet
Tiny Tail cuz I can’t time Bahamut for shit (courier screws this stage, but even then he has to be high leveled to not be KB by three hits from LKDs) but I got frustratingly close to beating it
any 4 crown actual difficult stage that cannot be kekked with courier spam bc I lack rare cats TFs
The worst part? I could’ve easily beat these stages after some grinding
UL stage 5, not because it's hard but because I'm too lazy to do it, I finished all behemoth culling and all 4 crowns SoL and I just don't have it in me to start doing it again, so for now I'm just doing events/colossus gauntlets when they show up.
Good show. I managed to go through lvl.15 itemless, but it's already luck-based for me, dependent on my spawning units at the exact right time. So I doubt I'll be able to finish it this time around.
After many, many tries I have to concede defeat on lvl. 17. It's fricking Tackeys that are the biggest problem. Can't even kill one before the other shows up now.
Damn, all three look good enough
Why can’t they implement them all in the game? Somehow they could spam eggs, but funny units are no-go
Maybe they will be in separate updates
What do you think any of them will even do? My personal speculation is >Stealth cat
Probably a dodge tanker like matador or bw cat >Sick cat
AOE weaken debuffer >Trash cat
Hard to tell, probably has toxic immune, or maybe we could finally get a unit with the ability to use toxic
It shares the dreaded first place with Omens, as boss is Rain D on asteroids, 400% Tackeys are just UGH, celeboodles and Darks being buffed to the point they are not easy money, and even random croconator stopping you from regaining ground
Omens on other hand are as unfair as Hyppoh, as you MUST utilize that beefy Johnnyleon in order to even deal damage to them consistently, never mind midnite D. being overbuffed nightmare, Gregory being as bad, 300% WILD DOGES (with 200% relic doges just for fun) with also supposed moneybags enemies that are hard to double bounty kill
Oh, did I mention Omens are actual RNG? They can spam surges or never fire one off, drastically reducing what you can actually use on this dreaded stage
Just beat Zyclone and save yourself pointless frustration
Or equip frickton of LD/surge/wave attackers that outrange H. Nah while you have epic shitfest dealing with godforsaken metal seal
Those H. Nah are actually not that strong, money is issue though
When I won for first time, I bruteforced through first wave of H. Nah (be careful, there are two waves of them in count of 10 but you have to be incredibly slow to let it happen for second time)
>still good
She is THE best almighty, and considering competition is very strong, it says something
Generally she is Mitama but freeze and multi-hit and yes, she is as OP as it sounds
the general rule is any cat whose use is just to apply status can be converted to NP
cats that fight and leverage their stats want the + levels, though some are just bad in general and can be converted too (like bath cat)
Turn every uber/legend dupe into NP, as even NP stat boost and catseye are much better than measly +levels for how infrequently they drop
As for super rares, the ones that are plain bad or CC based, or have weak stats in general should be turned into NP
Generally what [...] says is very true, but I also might add brainwashed whale and legs to list as they are extremely good stat based cats (and their TFs are straight up OP) with brainwashed dragon and ufo being BIG maybe, and rest be free to turn into NP, but also I would disagree with fencer, yes, he is wacky to use but his specs can be very good in certain situations, being tanky and cheaper dragon (just DON’T purchase its knockback)
I 100% agree with anon’s statement on rare cats though

>Turn every uber/legend dupe into NP
Please be trolling...
Especially on the Uber part after they just released some 4th forms, which require level 60 (minus +levels) when we still have to deal with relatively few ways to get Dark Catseyes.
And even then, minor stat buffs can make a difference then and again in hard-ass stages.
If it's some dumpster unit you're likely to never use like an Event uber like Mola or most of the Punt units or someone who has been heavily crept out like Ice Cat, it's fine. But in general, that's just such an aggravating idea.
If you only purely by stats, going from 50->51 is only a ~1.8% increase in stats.
If you use it while already at 60, you only get 0.8% instead.
For the 50 NP you could get a 6% increase instead and still have 5 NP left over.
Sure you get to level 60 quicker and get all those Ultra Talents you no longer have the NP for.
For Ultra Forms you need to decide if you want to waste 50 NP to be able to save 2 Dark Catseyes in a couple of years when Ponos decides to give that unit a 4th form.
And for some units, that question is almost guaranteed to be worth it, such as for Demon/Balrog who doesn't even have his 2nd set of Talents yet.
Don't forget in "a couple of years" you can amass a great many dupes. Thousands of Catfood, over a thousand Cat tickets, probably a few hundred Rare tickets.
Even if half of your Cat ticket pulls are non-cat things, that's still over 500 cat units, which is more than 1000 NP while the other 500 pulls will be converted into 100+ Rare tickets on their own for yet more potential NP from all the Rare/SR dupes you'll not actually want.
And personally, I really don't like Labyrinth, so anything that saves me eyes is really good in my book right about now.
So you still have to decide between taking the NP, which are very likely gonna be immediately useful, or use the dupes which may or may not give you a very slight advantage at some point in the future.
You're acting like 1000 NP is a lot when there are 900+ NP worth of Talents on even a single Uber, 1300+ if you count Ultra Talents.
Do what you want, but its still shitty advice to give especially to a newcomer where NP is very hard to come by.
And for some units, that question is almost guaranteed to be worth it, such as for Demon/Balrog who doesn't even have his 2nd set of Talents yet.

If you use it while already at 60, you only get 0.8% instead.
For the 50 NP you could get a 6% increase instead and still have 5 NP left over.
Sure you get to level 60 quicker and get all those Ultra Talents you no longer have the NP for.
For Ultra Forms you need to decide if you want to waste 50 NP to be able to save 2 Dark Catseyes in a couple of years when Ponos decides to give that unit a 4th form.
So you still have to decide between taking the NP, which are very likely gonna be immediately useful, or use the dupes which may or may not give you a very slight advantage at some point in the future.
You're acting like 1000 NP is a lot when there are 900+ NP worth of Talents on even a single Uber, 1300+ if you count Ultra Talents.
Do what you want, but its still shitty advice to give especially to a newcomer where NP is very hard to come by.
described my reasoning perfectly (I am anon from ) but there is one more important factor: NP boosted specials/rares/super rares are far more practical and easy to boost, not to mention there are few ubers that are really worth the UT price
Also aside from labyrinth, there is frequent catseye gatcha with low chance of getting dark catseyes, regular barons (lv max though, but if you pine for lvl 60 you should be already able to complete some) >tl;dr
There is no practical reason for hoarding dupes unless you really want to boost your OP ubers, but there are select few ubers that are truly versatile for every stage, ironically compared to rares/super rares
Turn every uber/legend dupe into NP, as even NP stat boost and catseye are much better than measly +levels for how infrequently they drop
As for super rares, the ones that are plain bad or CC based, or have weak stats in general should be turned into NP
Generally what [...] says is very true, but I also might add brainwashed whale and legs to list as they are extremely good stat based cats (and their TFs are straight up OP) with brainwashed dragon and ufo being BIG maybe, and rest be free to turn into NP, but also I would disagree with fencer, yes, he is wacky to use but his specs can be very good in certain situations, being tanky and cheaper dragon (just DON’T purchase its knockback)
I 100% agree with anon’s statement on rare cats though
I will never use my phone for Ganker again, frick that noise interface
Unfortunately, 15 catseyes
Yes, from 50 to 55 you only need 5, but for some moronic reason they require you to spend 10 dark catseyes from 55 to 60
They could drop the bullshit for dark catseyes but noooooo, you need to grind some more to even reach the UT (which you need even more grinding)
Fricking hell
I still think dark catseyes are not as painfully slow to farm to full upgrade as NP (levelling to lv 60 uber? Painful. Full talents of said uber, including ultra? Horrible)
Hopefully Ultra Forms will be better motive to leveling some ubers
So far only Dioramos is worth it for being huge tank-sniper-CC chimaera, and excelling at all these three
Windy and Oda are still memes
I don't know why they do this since it's so annoying but a lot of them can be replaced by other combos that you may have, f.e. three kings is completely replaceable by little warriors which takes 1 less slot and is still a defense up (sm)
You use him as an invincible meatshield that is guaranteed to hold the frontline for 2s.
You can use it to bait attacks from slow attacking units like the nyandams. You can use it to make Kappy and Hermit miss and not summon Surges/Waves.
You can use it to kill the last non-respawning enemy in a stage before triggering the boss and just wait until your wallet is maxed.
You could just spam it on cooldown for some extra chip damage
If you use stacked research up combos with a maxed wallet/worker cat you can create an almost impenetrable wall and be extremely broke for the entire round. Just throw him in your team for the next 20 rounds or so and get a good feel for what he can do and how enemies react to his invisible wall.
And also:
anytime you go up against an enemy with ridiculous Omnistrike damage like say, Luza
You can send rock cat as the attack finishes to stall all the enemies while all your other cats fricking die. Wont lose as much ground like that
Whew, finally attempted grateful xp lv10 and turns out my lineup was able to clear it.
Pretty simple and consistent strategy for anybody still struggling: 4 meatshields, courier, empress chronos, daliasan, dasli, phono, and huntress terun.
>Need 10 Yellow Stones >I can only obtain them from Jinfore at 24% chance >Average of one stone every 4 days >40 days average, if I don't skip days, to get my 10 stone target
How on earth do people work out unconventional strategies?
I struggle to approach many of the advent stages because it just seems impossible to hold back a boss with 1,000 range and 30,000 damage.
Beaten SoL and CoTC, but just can't cut it with these advent bosses.
Yet it seems arbitrary, some are total pushovers even without ubers and others never fall below 95%.
Can't even beat wah-wah despite owning around 50 ubers.
I have no idea how to actually improve my game, any advice?
Unironically watch guides.
There are a lot of more subtle mechanics and counters to the game that aren't immediately obvious that can completely change the difficulty of a stage.
Getting the timing right of certain cats, being able to tank extra hits at a certain level, combos, stuff like that. Sometimes it's just pure luck.
Its really as simple as just figuring out why you are losing and knowing your Units well enough to know what would help.
Like in wahwahs case, you probably keep dying because Wahwah kills all your expensive ubers with his stupid range.
The solution is to use fast, cheap units that can hit him between attacks, like Lion Cat, while letting your Ubers deal with the peons.
Its 90% trial and error, at least if you don't look up the solution right away.
Reading the wiki or UDP or watching people like 7 genuinely helps with just understanding your units and certain matchups.
Stuff like that R.Ost only deals damage every 2 attack cycles is not something you just learn from playing.
I kept dying to March to Death until i pulled out The One-Hit Wonders who managed to stall Daboo long enough for me to get the crits on Metal Seal.
Turns out OHW is really good at killing backliner zombies. And i only tried him out because i was stuck at this dumbass stage for 3 weeks.
Same
I mean, not really, I started playing first like, five years ago, six, seven?
Dunno
But it is legit only mobile game that is enjoyable to play on phone and has unique interface and identity that it feels less like soulless gatcha waifu bait game more like wacky mechanics strategy
I first downloaded cause it looked dumb and I was in my cat phase, stayed because game is legitimately good
Also congrats Anon on getting Sirius, she is Gao but modern and better
Don't link the old thread next time
>he’s in my superfest seed but I need 20 more draws worth of catfood and tickets
Go on without me…
Exact opposite for me, he's 14 pulls deep (no track bullshit to worry about) and I have exactly 14 tickets.
I did 80 pulls and he's still at 999+ for me, here's hoping updated Epicest will drop him somewhere closer. Simulated guaranteed says 333A, so I guess there's that.
Superfest he's 500rolls away, Plat banner he is 11 (when he gets added)
Guess I'm not rolling in the colab this time
No Halloween?
Probably another few days.
This is terrible
I'll never get Date Masamune at this rate
What can i do against backliners like Camelle or Prof A in 4crown?
Nyandam seems to be the only thing that outranges em (by 1) but is there any better way?
you can sometimes overpower them with brute force (e.g. spamming maximum the fighter vs prof a) or use units like boulder/slime to chip away at them
Slime was apparently the answer for chubby b goode.
I never really thought about how much of a pain in the ass some enemies are without a super backliner
You just gotta take it raw sometimes
Like praying threats stop spawning so you can focus on solely the camelle, praying you can stack enough LD at the start of a round to kill it, waiting for minutes so you can chip it with dumb shit like A.Bahamut/Cyberpunk cat
Really depends on what the stage is
Mina was the answer for me when I fought Prof. A on Li'l Cat's Awakening stage. She has a lower range, but also piercing damage.
Camelle and its variants I use low knock back units that can go in and chip it to death like Ramen and Shigong
Prof A I just throw in Courier with meatshields and hope for the best, maybe Mina too
im mid-way through 4 crown SOL and level 50 slime cat has been my go-to camel solver so far. i hope it keeps working...
Anyone else cringe hard at the evolved/tf pixies' names? They really sound like shitty knockoff pokemon/gen 9 pokemon (same thing)
I think you're just weird
Crazy how all my other li'ls are at +50 and above and my li'l flying is still sitting at +24.
Repostan from the last thread (or the one before that?) because I just got an Elder Fruit Seed from Floor 20 of Infernal Tower and needed to check who I can use it on.
Oh cool, just one unit and I don't even have it. Good thing I don't usually check the CF storage so I won't sell it by mistake.
Just save em up and use em for Urururun, Mina or Figure Skating
Frick, both Floor 28s are a giant pain in my dick. Like all Metal stages, they all revolve around getting lucky, especially when the only strategy against the metal seal is hoping that Luffy crits, and crits at the right target. But then there's a situation like my last run, when I get destroyed by the first valley of metal doges.
Does anyone know often superfest comes around usually? Is it only on anniversaries? When was the last time it was available?
>the Shoumetsu Toshi annihilated city thing is back
yay?
Are any of the collab units even any good?
they're collab units what do you fricking think lmao
saber/evangelion were the only exceptions
Madoka. Street Fighter, Bikkuriman, Merc Storia all have some decent stuff.
Miku has that ranged waveshield at least.
Kuniokun is like the single most used combo unit.
Even Mola got that meme talent that makes him occasionally really good.
Dont go discrediting my girl like that
they're okish, most of them are windy/thundia clones with faster attack. they're not going to win any awards for best collab uber, but if you lack ubers against some specific traits, they're as good as any other to get for that
can't say I know anything about any of the ubers but the super rare otaku geek cat is basically a second cyberpunk, so that's at least worth something
Personally I found the little scooter units to be pretty useful as meatshields in labyrinth because they have a low cooldown and resist vs. floating/alien. Haven't really found a good use for all of the other ones.
I've used that floating tank scootie unit against one of the Cyclones, the one with a blind spot.
Good thing I camped in front of this Super Rare wall. Time to cyberstack to the extreme
is dark phonoa in the plat ticket banner?
I cant see him on the tracker
Apparently not.
what do I do with all these golden catfruits
are there even 5 cats that use these?
Yes there are exactly 5.
>Lasvoss
>Cat God
>Some Neneko variant
>Gold Cat
>Gold Brick Cat
So basically you only need 1 for Lasvoss since all the others are more of a meme.
Gold Cat is a wave immune meatshield, that's a substantial niche right there
So is lil'cat with talents
Yeah, now you have two wave immune meatshields
That's p good
The next gold fruit I get I'm probably spending on Gold Brick since I want a toxic immune meat shield. I don't see myself ever pulling or using Lasvoss anyway based on those stats
Lasvoss is great once you have it but it's a very big investment, you can cheese a lot of stages with a unit that is immune to everything, survives a lethal strike and can hit for over 1.2 milion damage, kappy and puffsley come to mind, papuu too since he is toxic immune.
If you were me would you want squirtgun saki, radiant aphrodite or mystery girl yuki?
Aphrodite.
Sweet thanks
Last chance to get gacha cat. Should I do it?
Its been surprisingly useful in early 4crown for me.
It has like 150k hp at 50 and moves the same speed as cameraman, so its always right in front of your stack.
>3* Cloned Farmers
>510% R.Ost
What in the unholy god is this?
Your new hell for a day or 2.
I just got back to this game and want to re-establish my seed tracking first and foremost but
>You're 3499 in the queue.
Is this for real?
Just get aku researcher instead.
Lil' Macho cant even outrange Aku Bear which is like, the most important shield target in Aku Realms.
To be fair, you kinda already need a shieldpiercer if you want to do Aku Cyclone.
But yeah lil Macho is rarely worth it, especially since it maxed at 30%.
I just used talented matador cat for the cyclone, which is a sound investment for aku stages too unless you already have Brainwashed Cat.
We haven't had a Labyrinth in a while, have we? With so many other limited stages demanding energy it's actually refreshing to see Ponos not throwing another one just to milk us dry.
i did to fill the gap before aku researcher, but now i bench aku researcher for lillin. I think there's a behemoth cat with 100% shield pierce too now? early aku is ball crushing because you just have no cats that are effective. so i guess make a judgement call on if you can pull aku researcher more easily than just dumping the NP. lil'axe is just a worse version of cactus but i do use him, nymph is useless dont invest in her.
TLDR get an uber for it
I'd personally recommend Dark Iz. People rarely talk about it but shes honestly the single best Anti-Aku rn.
Multi hit with 100% Shield Piercer on each hit + Surge Immunity + a 50s cooldown.
I'd say it depends.
Lilin has better range and surviveability, so for general use she'll usually perform better. Plus her surge lets her do sometimes hilarious shit like combo'ing a FallenBear/Midnight.D for half their HP or just one shotting an ackey in the rear.
If you just need like, a one time shield break on a tanky enemy then Iz can handle it.
I feel like they are both similar enough that it doesnt really matter.
50 more standing range and higher hp for higher cooldown, cost and no surge immunity.
Plus Iz is immune to all the extra shit Akus can do like Toxic/Freeze/Slow
What even is shoumetsu toshi? Is it another android game? Can't find gameplay of it anywhere.
apparently its a 5/10 anime.
>Afterlost (Japanese: 消滅都市, Hepburn: Shōmetsu Toshi, transl. "Annihilated City") (stylized as AFTERLOST) is a Japanese mobile game series. An anime television series adaptation by studio Madhouse aired from April 7 to June 23, 2019.
I looked up the moonrunes on youtube and found some gameplay, seems like it's an auto-runner of some sort.
Here's the other side of the collab:
I was going to ask if there was a point of doing the collab Gamatoto stage, but I just got 8 catfoods from a 6 hour run on Cumulus Peaks, so I don't care about it anymore.
What a lovely young lady.
Should I true form Fortune Teller Cat for Messier level 19 and 20? Her attack animation is pretty long and Doctor outranges her so maybe I can stunlock her, dunno if anyone has tried.
Follow-up to this post from the last thread
>got the last 10 superfeline copies
>UR now at 14625
After months of grinding, the end is finally in sight
Now the real question is
is there even an UL left to use it on or did you finish it already?
I've only completed the first four subchapters of crowned UL a while back before getting lazy and stopping. So I still have plenty ahead of me.
All my normals were already at 90 by the time you could upgrade Super last 10. I rarely play now and I think he is at like 55. After lear ing You can get Dark Cateyes from tickets, I doubt I will even bother to try to max him. I can easily get top 5% in Dark Labyrinth but it is such a chore I don't even want to do it.
>Gather 509 lucky tickets from A Distant Road
>Gacha is generous with giving me li'l cats
>The plus-levels boost my UR enough so that I can use catseyes to reach 15001
It's finally over
I forgot to attach the image
Congrats, Anon, you're free.
Now what will you do?
I started doing crowned UL a while ago but got lazy rather quickly and stopped, so now that I've got TS I guess I'll start doing that again.
>fricked up my seed by dodging a track jump by switching between banners
Any of these collab cats decent?
All three Yuki Ubers have Massive Damage against their traits at 400+ range, Uber Souma has a Slow/Weaken double whammy on three traits when TF'd at also 400+ range (one of them Floating, so he targets most Cyclones, apparently), and the Super Rare Otaku Geek Cat is a Cyberpunk variant that does Weaken from a distance of 1000. If any of that sounds appealing to you.
Just finished into the future 3 and got awakened bahamut bros, the next steps seem pretty open ended so what should I do first?
>work on getting 900 user rank for true forms
>start cats of the the cosmos
>start stories of legends
You are generally supposed to be doing SoL alongside ITF already, so start doing that.
A.Bahamut is absolutely overkill for the first ~20 subchapters.
Do the XP Stages when they come up and just start farming when you get stuck.
You can also do Cyclones, Crazed Cats, stuff like Arcane Confluence for Akus, Behemoth Culling etc.
Try the collab stages as long as they're up or you need to wait another year for em.
>got my timing down for lucky ticket farming
time to grind out 100+ clears and hopefully get my lil cats to +55
Good luck.
>can't beat 2-crown stages either because of zombies or takuya spam
>can't beat level fricking 4 of messier's assault
i was able to roll through most of the evangelion and mola stuff just fine what the frick
bro I only played for a month and cleared 3 crown and lv4 messier what are you doing
I'll need to start doing Messier myself, just to see how far I got last year at just under four months, so I can clown at the guy as well.
I know, but I want them noooooow!
i was definitely just using a bad cat layout and was just being too stubborn and tired to change it up. i can definitely do better at them.
Finally all my li'ls are at +60, now lucky tickets are officially free NP.
I need about 20 more gold tickets by the time the guaranteed collab banner drops to complete the set, so I'm going ham on the Catamin stages (also XP). And then I'll have to prepare for Halloween, and then Miku.
Maybe I should've targeted a higher level G Ticket stage to build up my reserves, although even then it would've been a drop in the ocean. But all three are sitting comfortably at triple digits, so maybe I don't need to worry.
And hey, an extra 7 silver tickets at the very least every single day is nothing to sneeze at.
Shoumetsu toshi is apparently an annual event anyway, so theres not really a rush to get the units.
Anyone know what the boss in the collab gauntlet stages is? Floating? Traitless?
Floating, but she is immune to a bunch of stuff like freezing and weaken.
gauntlet is no more anons
Balrog survives a strengthened Messier hit at that level?
She only does a measly 65600 damage per strenghened hit at 20 so even a lvl30 Balrog barely survives it.
The shadow boxer k on that level does that damage per second.
mine is lvl 50, no hp talents and it survives an hit
PONOS PLEASE GIVE ME A GUARANTEED BANNER
>Shoumetsu Trashi is next
FUUUCK
most of the time typical gacha banners also have 11-draw guarantees at the same time collab banners do.
Yeah, if I'm counting right, it should be Dragons this time.
But that's what the last banner was as well.
Then you better hope I did not count right.
It might actually be Iron Legion since Mighty Sphinx Korps is still unreleased for EN
Speaking of, Sphinx is looking pretty juicy.
>~700k HP versus Metal, Red, and Zombie without Weaken
>1.4 million with Weaken ~45% uptime
>Has plenty of potential for when it gets a True Form and Talents (more HP, better Weaken uptime, Relic typing, etc.)
Like a not mediocre Ruri.
I feel like Soulstrike on a tank + relatively low damage for a melee unit could be a death sentence.
The real downside of Soulstrike is that it makes them stop moving forward while there's a corpse nearby, the low damage isn't super relevant since it's absolutely meant to be a tanking unit.
yeah thats the thing, its a tank that can stop moving halfway to the frontline without the damage to actually kill the corpse in one hit.
Sure, but as long as you have a healthy stream of other units, it shouldn't be too big of an issue. At worst, the frontline shifts back to that corpse, which is often where it would be anyway when it finally revives. Send it first rather than as a supporting big unit.
Now that Exiel is dealt with, I finally got all Baron medals!
They all seemed so insurmountable at first
what lineup did you use?
Im kinda not sure what to use against this guy.
4 meatshields cause Capy. The erasers at max level should have enough HP to survive one hit from Mr.Mer so they got that covered.
Octopus in the awkward cases where Eva-00 gets warped while there's a Bore.Jr on the field because otherwise that's an insta-loss
Hitman to burst down the Mr.mer and hopefully catch Bore.Jr sleeping
Nymph with angel target/resist talent for general damage as well to kb Exiel, to reset his progress towards your base.
Slapsticks for direct damage, mostly just in case Bore.Jr somehow manages to run right past all your LD units into their blindspot
Unit-00 because I have no idea how you'd do this stage without ranged wave shields
Kintaro for the LD damage + slow/curse on Exiel. Either debuff works to defang Exiel, but slow is generally preffered since it combos with Nymph kb to take out Exiel from the fight for a couple secs so you can focus on his support. Exiel without the warp is ridiculously weak though.
Mr.Mer is gone you've already won.
Grats I haven't really even started mine, they seemed pointless other than for the medals. Qrd? Can you farm these things for anything in particular?
The Barons? You can farm them for talent orbs, they drop orbs for Massive Damage, Resist, and Tough VS.
So for exiel, you can make your ramen even more immortal against angels, or you can make Kalisa delete angels even faster.
Hows the drop rate?
Miserable in the earlier levels, basically guaranteed in the later ones.
>They all seemed so insurmountable at first
Powercreep finally gottem, thank fricking god
Still, I gotta admit Baron Seal is currently worst of the bunch
>boss is midranger with melee-rusher bullshit DPS, tanky as frick, and added bonus of perma-freezing and perma-weakening everything that survives
>support consisting of abominations such as 600% Angelic Gories having SLIGHTLY lower amount of DPS of baron (3 crown UL moment), Cala Maria that deals insta-kill on EACH hit and tanky star pengs added just to frick with your specialists
>not to mention peons with way too high stats are spammed every 30 seconds
>oh did I mention that said support (save Cala Maria) respawns EVERY MINUTE?
I remember on my old (and lost) account I used TWO FRICKING KASLIS and CHRONOS and I still lost every second attempt
Unfortunately methinks this Baron stage can be only nerfed by some really SERIOUS powercreep, with so much nuke-tier DPS is thrown at you at once
Funnily enough, Seal is currently the only Baron i've actually beaten.
Sure they push hard, but nothing that Phono + Mitama + 4 Meatshields can't handle.
And Courier helps too.
How often does superfest come around? I was really close to Dphono but now I have enough, don’t tell me it’s like once a year or something…
It is.
But now that it's out, Dhono will be on the Epicfest banner, and those pop up every month.
Man, 3-crown "The Nyanko Plan" (the scooter spam stage) is a pain in the dick. Cleared it with 4166, so enough to get the rare ticket, but I also want the regular one. I guess my team was leaning too heavily on anti-floating when I should be anti-traitless. Now if only there were hard-hitting units that are also easy to spawn.
If you have him, Strenghened Balrog kills Yuki in 2 Hits and the Scooters in 1 up to like 1800%.
>If you have him, Strenghened Balrog
I do not.
For the longest time I was stuck at about 7200, which is honestly worse than not getting anywhere near. What I was missing was Saber, since up to that point I've been using Regular Phono, who packs a stronger punch, but with the piss-poor attack freq his DPS is actually lower. And Saber runs faster, too. So finally I've hit the target at 7688. You know what they say, 24th time's the charm.
hope it was worth the one cat ticket
It's the principle of the thing.
Wtf is that anime unit bottom right?
What, you mean King Arthur?
Yea I guess. The one between iz and dart. What collab is it from?
Saber from Fate collab
>anon doesn't recognize seibah
Shame!
lesser demon cat coming around next banner 26A but its not a guaranteed
he doesn’t show up in any other banner any time soon
should I use my cf anyways? apparently he is good?
He is good once you spend a good bunch of NP and Catseyes on him.
Hes honestly been my favourite ever since i got him.
He has the highest DPS in the game and that on a 2250 cost and a 30s cooldown.
And not like hes fragile either, he got 100k HP at 50. As long as you know how to play around his Single Target hes an absolute beast.
But yeah like the other guy said, he needs lvl50 and between 410 and 760 NP to reallly shine.
Is Supercar cat supposed to be sitting on a toilet? I'm pretty sure I've seen that duck with handles in Japanese media before, is the "renewable energy" the cat's shit?
New Gachas are out:
Platinum Tracker gets updated on the 30th.
Guaranteed on the 31st for Collab & Halloween Banners
Uberfest on the 3rd
+some others
Oh it's even worse, it's the halloween banner.
>Missing B. Cat and B. Fish Cat from Halloween banner
>Neither even showing up until 62nd spot
I am being unfairly targeted.
>Brainwashed Fish at 38A
Guess I'm rolling on the Halloween banner for once
That reminds me, I still don’t have B. Cow. It won’t be long until Xmas Gals returns so I wonder-
>142B
Incredible.
my brother in christ, why do you want an unit with niche that does not exist and still perform terribly at it (even for general use, it is just crappier Manic Lion, and even ML starts falling off the meta)
Oh make no mistake, I don't plan on ever using Brainwashed Cow outside of Labyrinth, I just want it for collection purposes. It's the only brainwashed unit I don't have.
I mean, you get a nice shiny medal if you get em all
>finally another guaranteed
>not a normal banner
ponos please i don't want to roll over a legend rare, how much longer must i wait i'm running out of things to upgrade without catseyes
fricking finally
Congrats, lad. Now True Form that glorious bastard and start enjoying one of the best opening units on stages that don't instantly try to blast you down.
Damn, Messier past lvl. 10 is becoming troublesome.
Probably wouldn't be as bad if I didn't keep spawning Saber right in front of her blast EVERY TIME. Maybe the problem is me not paying enough attention.
I have one 1 Ebin Fruit. Should I evolve Pizza Cat or Roe Cat first? I'm leanin Pizza since XP stage is all black enemies.
I'm still at chapter 2 of ItF.
Pizza probably. Theres not really a need for a red tanker until you get to the hard pushing reds like Bore, JKBunbun or Hannya.
Altough Roe could also be used as a general tanker
Aethur is really good for its combo with Courier as well as a general anti-zombie.
Saki is incredible on the right stages.
Kubiluga depends on if you want to use the knockback wave or the crit wave. He can stay at 30 for the knockbacks.
No idea about Amakusa, i've never seen anyone use any Warlords outside of Keiji and Yukimura (and Hanzo sometimes).
>No idea about Amakusa
He targets Aku, so he might be a decent pick if he has nobody else that does by the time he starts encountering them. But with 7 second attack rate, Aku Gories will murderize him without heaps of meatshields.
Yeah, I'll go Pizza. Blacks are a huge pushover to me. Gonna miss dem breasts...
And Roe as a general tank seems too expensive. I'm sure but the time I'll need it, I'll get lucky enough to get another epic fruit.
>Gonna miss dem breasts...
By all accounts, Pizza Cat should have bigger breasts than Ring Girl had.
>Amakusa
>Saki
>Aethur
>Kubilan
Any of these worth leveling?
>Aethur
Oh god yes. It's such a great zombie clearer it's not even funny.
Shiro Amakusa is really underwhelming.
Versus Black, he's nothing to write home about, loses a ton of DPS because most Blacks have tons of knockbacks paired with his multihit equals lots of misses, and other units perform just as well if not better than him. His one redeeming quality is that he barely outranges Le'Noir.
Versus Aku, he does a little bit better due to Surge immunity making him a decent option versus all their on-death bullshit and because he has decently high damage, he often breaks their shields even without shield break. Other units can be better than him here, but he's good enough. True Form is highly recommended because of how slow his attack rate is otherwise.
Any ideas for Wishing for Happiness 3*?
I tried Midranger spam (Pizza/Cancan/Fishman) and Cameraman spam but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Well ended up doing it with Mushroom + Glass Cat + Rich Cat.
Still only got 3725 score sadly.
why am I banned
Okay wait wtf uh nvm looks like things worked out
Anyways now that I can say things again did you guys know you can change your cursor to battle cats characters using the chrome extension cursor helper? Its pretty funny.
Chrome is SHIIIT
>did you guys know you can change your cursor to battle cats characters using the chrome extension cursor helper?
If I had to guess I'd say excessive shilling is why you got banned.
So is there a consensus on the Halloween units? Is this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92RKfhd75u4 right or nah?
Halloween units are indeed generally dissapointing, but the Vars variant at least has a niche at being able to completely stonewall zombie units from advancing.
The Yukimura variant is also decent because, it's Yukimura but like what floating targets are you even gonna use it on during endgame. Othom, Gobble and what else? I'd still get him in case TF and/or talents make him broken like the normal yuki
honestly I find more use out of the brainwashed cats in that event than in any of the ubers there. gross/fish/cat are top tier as far as brainwasheds go, plus they all got nice tf improvements in an upcoming update too
See, the thing is, if I really, really tried, I could probably snatch up all five Halloween Ubers, Gloomy Neneko and the three Toshi Ubers I'm missing before getting to the first B. Cat that pops up (98A). But I also want to save up enough cf and tickets to be able to grab all the Hatsune Miku Ubers if I can, which should be coming in December, or January at the latest, since those won't show up again for way more than a year.
Gotta save up CF to pull all 5 miku variants
if you're limited on cf I'd focus only on the collab ubers and possibly the brainwasheds/gloomy neneko/yukimura/vars if you absolutely can't do without them, since you can always wait for next year's halloween to roll around. of the two collabs, miku has some of the more valuable collab units, with the best being sakura miku, snow miku, and wave blocker miku
I think I've figured out my pulls. Posting them here in case all my drives suddenly explode:
>First 11-pull on 2A, get Benevolent Souma as guaranteed
>Second 11-pull on 14B, get Lost World Yuki as guaranteed
>also get Crazed Yuki on the way at 16B
>Change banners, third 11-pull on 26A, get Count Yukimura as guaranteed
>With a track-swap in the way, change banners again and pull singles (including a dupe RR Souma Cat), then change banners again and get Skull Vars at 40B
>Pull singles until a trackswap on 48B->50A
>Get Gloomy Neneko at 55A
Unfortunately, there's no Brainwashed units anywhere until that point. There's Fish at 62B, and as I've mentioned B. Cat at 98A (and two more within ten spots, which is pure bullshit). Not counting B. Gross because I already have one.
The problem with the B. Cat being so far away, other than the lack of resources, is that it's on the wrong side of a big concentration of Uber spots I could - and will - use for Mikus, meaning the Brainwashed units would be long gone when I get there:
>First 11-pull on 61A, get Megurine as guaranteed
>Also get the Rare Neko Len on the way
>Grab Hatsune Miku at 72B
>Second 11-pull on 76B, get Tokyo Miku as guaranteed
>On the way get Osaka Miku on 76B, dupe Neko Len on 84B and a Neko Rin on 85B
>Grab Sakura Miku on 87A
>There's Osaka Miku dupe on 90A
>Grab Snow Miku on 94A
Which would just leave the Rin & Len uber, but to pick which one of the guaranteed ones to pull I'd need to plan around whatever other banner would be running concurrently.
There's also the two Super Rares and a third Rare, and I can grab two of those at the 110-120 range, but again, need to work with the other banner - the third one is all the way at 141B, so I'd probably have to wait until 2025 or even 2026 for another rerun. There's also Dark Phono on the Plat track around the 100 spot, which makes planning blindly even less advisable.
Damn, I just realized there's a new Miku Uber coming. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
>Oh yeah, that reminds me
>Skull Vas at 12A...
>Track jump at 9A
>Also on Plat tickets, I have regular Phono at 25A
>No B-side track jumps until 94
Fricking hell, time to wait for a uni-
>Oh wait, Shoumetsu Toshi shifts things doesn't it
>Yep, 9A is safe there
Frick yeah, time to do some setup.
>I would nee
Oh wait, nevernevermind, there's a guaranteed Halloween banner coming I can use, which incidentally is also Vars and then I can also snag Vampire Yukimura or some shit, nice.
Exiel just keeps dropping Strong vs orbs
What the hell am I supposed to do with Strong vs Angel orbs
It's weird how badly distributed anti angel gachas are, you have toaster which is very bad, stitls is meh, Juliette is okayish and then rocker is basically the anti-christ with how badly he destroys them, I remember when starting early i struggled a lot against Angel Cyclone because what the game gives you early to deal with him is awful.
And ramen cat basically destroy this stage lol
It can even (on high levels) survive a hit (or couple when boosted enough) from cyclone, which is crazy feat by itself, nevermind from a fricking meatshield
And rest of anti-angels (discounting ubers) feels like bootlegs of their other type contemporaries until you feed them truckload of NP (even this does not justify them being THIS bad)
what is even more ridiculous (and downright insulting) that anti-angels gained from talents are much better at their jobs which makes you think if PONOS actually enjoys mocking the existence of anti-angels not named Ramen cat (even he got kinda shat on by his talents, boy, not even single immunity feels like he gets punished by being OP in itself and PONOS anti-anti-angel agenda sheningans)
On other hand, you get set like Ultra Souls basically decimating every angel you come across until 4 crown putting stop on their kill streak
Yeah, PONOS balance strategies is an enigma to me (and still is- Anubis, for example, went from Anoobis joke before normal and ultra talents to basically uberfest backliner after tons of NP, how is that reasonable??)
>and still is- Anubis, for example, went from Anoobis joke before normal and ultra talents to basically uberfest backliner after tons of NP, how is that reasonable??
I mean, if I gotta dump all that exp + uber cateyes + dark cat eyes + tons of NP he damn well better be OP
trade for np (merge c and above to s first) or let them sit in storage on the off chance an op unit comes out for it
Been a couple months since I came back to this game, don't even know what the frick the catseye on the right is for.
Just wanted some help or recommendations on what I should spend my catseye and xp on?
At what point in the game are you in right now?
And dont worry about the dark eyes, they're for increasing max lv of units from 50 to 60
CoTC chapter 3 on Skelling
Took a break cause frick that level
Scars of war on legends but that's because I don't really play consistently on it not because I'm stuck
Well, the obvious thing to focus on first is any uber that could possibly help you beat skelling since I remember the pengs being buffed out of this world.
So anti alien ubers is a freebie, most of the pixies just solo the stage. I usually just save my cateyes until I get stuck on a stage.
weak and mildly acidic in SOL, not really much i can do for progress aside from going through that until i see the star aliens and getting catseyes since i'm waiting for a guaranteed on pixies/gals to get jeanne or lumina plus a couple ubers right after the track switch (into another legend so i can basically get both), seeing all these collabs happening right now is disheartening but it's not so bad.
hopefully said ubers don't change if the next pixies guaranteed is with the new one as i don't want to have bora and voli get replaced by possibly less useful pixies if that can happen.
BCEN 12.7 is out now.
Apparently Princess Punt collab is heading over to EN version.
Finally, a meatshield to match Ramen
wow I never thought we would get this
fricking 8 years late
Does anyone know if the brainwashed stages have been scheduled for EN yet?
Any good units to look out for?
Including this thing apparently?
>Any good units to look out for?
Not really, they are all underwhelming, except…
>Including this thing apparently?
>Including
You mean exclusively roll for him then yes
This thing is basically anti-black ramen (even better than Nono in tf)
I mean, look at its stats, it is basically ramen against blacks, really (for searching purposes its name is Chibigau)
At least you can still roll for collab units if you want that UR boost (which you will need in late-to-endgame for one particular normal cat…) and labyrinth fodders (which also good idea considering Labyrinth is fricking 100 stages, you have to have entire rosters of collabs to make progress (and missing out on those dark catseyes really hurt…)
apparently (according to siluman's video) the gacha that has him only has chibigau + 2 other rares for possible rare rolls, meaning that not only is it practically impossible to miss even with only a handful of rolls, but also that it's feasible to get a very hypermaxed chibigau
is this dude necessary for 4* sol? i have enough np to get his talents
No. Theres 100% some stages that would benefit from having him talented, but I cleared 4* SOL and I still havent talented him yet.
Not necessary for any stage, but it does have pretty useful niche that pops up every now and then
>is this dude necessary for 4* sol?
definitely not
if you boost it through talents, it becomes a powerhouse spammable rusher with ability to obliterate and cripple surviving black enemies
however, every stage in 4 crown SoL it would be relevant (ofc fully talented, don’t use it otherwise) can have its job done by other talented specials (Dark Lazer moment)
It’s very nice to have it talented though (especially if you plan no gacha runs)
If you want, I can give advice what units to use and/or boost (provided you tell me what is your progress and what units you plan on using) as I already beat 4 crown SoL once without using gacha units much
The only real special NP investment worth for 4* SoL is Dancer.
who should i go for? its my first legend rare. gaia is the best one apparently but nanaho is cute
Nanaho is best for the single reason she deletes metals out of the game
Nanaho is incredibly broken with good offense against metals (50% crit with reasonably long range and strong hit for metals with pierce, just be sure your defenses are meaty, as you don’t want BAKA waltzing into her quite big blindspot) and broken defense against them (insanely tough against them, basically offensive sakura sonic)
She has added bonus of being versatile enough to be usable on every stage (due to her bonus abilities being pretty good, but beware, her generalist stats are a little bit lacking) and recharge time being rather good for an uber
She is simply not that replaceable and probably best mongal, whereas Gaia is actually not that unique and she has some serious flaws in her niche (which result in her not being top five of her set lmao, albeit to be fair you can’t go wrong rolling on almighties)
Tl;dr: Nanaho is good bc she’s unique and crazy good at her niche, Gaia is too flawed for Almighty legend to be prioritized over her
*BAKA stands for S.M.H. (Super Metal Hippoe, dunno why Ganker converts undotted acronym to baka, but I still find it hilarious to call this annoying enemy baka, considering it fits perfectly)
The abbreviation happens to be exactly the same as "shaking my head", which has been filtered out by Ganker since like 2018 or thereabouts, since it's been spammed alongside "to be honest" and the first syllable of "family". Which also have been filtered, into "desu" and "senpai" respectively.
>tfw keep missing the Exp Bonanza events even with push notifications on since I have my tablet on silent
Here we go good to go
On topic of final behemoth stages, Ensanglion is such a dissapointing boss
It is literally “Nyandam, but stronger” and it can’t even kill Radical Cat (its direct counter to be frank) in one hit
Considering sheer amount of bullshit that behemoth enemies themselves put us through, such boss is beyond pathetic
Even its stages are hilariously easy. Only lava caves variation, from chapter filled with ungodly amounts of bullshit, tries to pose threat and fails spectacularly due being filled with alien behemoth enemies (which get SOAP’ed) and only 200% Wild Doges have any pushing power, but considering you beat like 59 unique behemoth stages for first time, more or less you can consistently get rid of them.
Honestly, this stage is the only time I wish PONOS would magnify those hellspawns to 300%, if that’s the only way to increase the challenge.
Finally, the last SoL stretch: 4 crowns Laboratory of Relics, then Idi:Re, I'm gonna miss the free catfood and leaderships.
>I'm gonna miss the free catfood and leaderships
Anon, UL left-

-oh
Hey why doesn't Godfat have the guarantees for Shometsu Toshi up? I looked at the banner for the last three days of the collab and its still normal? Are we not getting a guarantee? Same with the Halloween one?
>look at the updated platinum ticket banner
>dark phono at 59B
okay, that isn't too bad
did you refresh the page? the guaranteed banner for the shometsu collab starts tomorrow
Doesn't change anything. Is my site/seed messed up or wtf.
Oh wait nvm it did that finally. But I still don't get wtf went wrong with my plat track.
not sure when the plat/legend tracks update but I think it updates 11:00AM your local time.
Its an hour past that. I have no idea what happened. And the best part is Im cucked out of getting Emma cuz I'd have to sacrifice dphono if I want her now.
>emma
she's cute but she sucks, even with her TF. better off just waiting for the step up banner to return if you want her.
Yeah like what other choice do I have. But it fricked up my plans. I used gold cpus yesterday to farm 15 blue cf and now that's not going to use. Also I'm thinking that the plat track might update tom given how everything else is kicking off with the guaranteeds so its possible this is a mistake that's going to frick a lot of people over or I'm really unlucky.
I usually wait until a day or two passes after a plat banner update if I need to pull. otherwise, I do some test pulls on a regular banner and see if I moved on the plat banner to make sure everything is good before spending a plat ticket.
also wtf it said the plat track updates today and I got mighty katapult from the old track instead of emma who should've been on the new track which should've been accessible today?
Just pulled this guy from the daily login rare ticket thingamabob. He seems kinda broken, what with a gazillion immunities, random bonus damage (that aren’t crits, unfortunately), and a chance to heal at low health.
I may be wrong though, my only other ubers are the anti-black tiger guy, Windy, another from that set who’s all fancy and punches people, Momotaro, some cat in a pot that’s good against Angels, Catman, and Bloody Jack, and maybe they’re all just complete shit that’s so bad it makes a mediocre dude look godly by comparison.
Lasvoss is a situational legend. He is not a hard carry, and requires a lot of investment for true form and even more to get the absolute most out of him. If he lands a savage-blow hit you win, but otherwise he'll get like 1-2 hits that take out a chunk of HP then fricks off and dies.
>legend
I dont mean he's a legend, I just mean he's a legendary uber rare lol. I've seen him pull crazy shit but he's been a bit lacklustre for me lately.
He doesn't really frick off tho, his cooldown is so short that you may as well have 2 up at the same time, the only issue is the cost.
meant for
Yeah that's what I mean, if you are on a cat tight stage. Of course, use bad guys all the time when using him or else youre not getting the most but it still takes a chunk o change and if you have other rusher ubers that are marginally strong he ends up doing nothing at all cuz he wont make it to the frontline.
cash* tight goddamnit
Yeah that's what I ought to do now as well but the thing is I've never had a problem with it updating on the time it says it would update until now.
he takes a lot of investment to become useful and can be awkward to use but it's extremely satisfying watching him delete max lvl barons and bosses before fricking off back to cooldown. however it's gonna be a while until you can unlock and use his TF.
what eggs do i evolve first? i already got courier, gas mask and exorcist
haniwa and then Mushroom, rest are kinda useless.
Catarzan I used on Idi's stage, but otherwise is replaceable. Also is not a good counter to the enemy he's supposed to counter so that was fun to figure out.
Mushroom I'd go for first, it's really nice having an anti-Angel damager that isn't an uber.
Haniwa is cheap and would be good if it wasn't for the fact that Ponos made him unbelievably slow.
How much harder is CotC chapter 2 Zombie Outbreak compared to 1? I still have to do both of them.
2 introduces Behemoths.
About the same except many more undead anglerfish
>track skip into legend rare only 9 tickets away
>its only on the toshi banner
Im not gonna make it, am i? Be honest bros, i can take it...
How many rare tickets do you have? I you can get up to 9 within the next six days, you could pull singles on the Toshi banner, skip to the legend spot, and then wait for banner with the legend you want. And you can get up to four rare tickets from the final stage of the Pumpcat map that just dropped if you can clear each crown, so you'd be basically halfway there.
9 to go but i have two in catfood, so seven tickets away. Ill get one tomorrow from the daily thing so thats six, and at least one more from the catfood drops for five
So ill just need to clear 25 SOL chapters
🙁
Are your base upgrades up to +10? Because if they are, you can exchange each for 1/5th of a rare ticket.
New units, yay
Nice butt
Did the plat track switch? Can anyone who did a plat roll who seedtracks confirm?
You can click on the platinum banner ingame and see that Dark Phono is now part of it.
So yes it did change.
oh frick thats genius I forgot to look at the damn banner itself.
what are the best meatshield combination?
Whatever best fits the level, case by case basis
im kinda new to the game. is there a guide? im currently using crazed cat + crazed eraser but they are too fast compared to my other units
well if ur a new player then crazed cats are still the best since they can get to frontline quickly and keep up with your other staple units like dasli and phono who are decent/fast themselves
You'd normally use double eraser most of the time.
If Eraser dies in one hit anyway use any of the 75c meatshields instead. Also use Metal, Gold, Brainwashed, Gato Amigo, etc if you want certain immunities.
If you NEED your meatshield to survive a hit use Jiangshi, usually alongside Manic Eraser.
Specialist meatshields like Ramen, Haniwa, Catellite usually go on top of Double Eraser.
Speed doesn't matter as much as you would spam them on cooldown anyway, but higher speed is obviously better.
thx for explaining
>If Eraser dies in one hit anyway use any of the 75c meatshields instead.
In that specific case I'd recommend the basic Cat and Gold Cat, since they're getting a money combo.
Metal Cat is great if you can get it. Sure it's much more expensive than normal meatshields, but if you're not dealing with something with a fast attack rate or critical hits like THE FRICKING R.OST, you could possibly stall forever, and since he's a gacha unit, it's actually possible to get it unlike Green Shell.
I like double erasers because the fast one stops a push after a big hit and the slow one means there's usually at least one out of range of the enemies as a failsafe if the front two or three get slapped. Sometimes ill swap the slow one for a wave immune cat or simmilar stage-specific unit
There's no single best combo for every stage (mainly due to restriction stages such as 4 crown and CoTC for example)
However, there are some tips I can give:
- early-to-lategame, normal and crazed walls (later erasers) stall everything incredibly well for very cheap cost (only 300¢ every 2-3 seconds, at max upgrade worker cat on starting level can sustain that much very easily) Beware: combo falls off in end-post game when enemies start dealing enough damage to kill maxed erasers in one hit
- biobone or other M/L research combos pair up very well with tanky type-resistant meatshields and work better on stages that demand specific immunity or type-resistance to survive (such as pure angel stages needing ramen to be manageable)
- dirt cheap die in one hit meatshields + tanky meatshield to keep enemies busy for attackers to pick them off while tanky enemies have their progress halt by tanky meatshields
- any wave-immune/surge-immune meatshields (but with relatively affordable total cost) is go to answer to stages that main threat comes from these abilities (alternatively dual eraser with wave blocker(s))
- cheap and fast meatshields + metal cat for any stage with main threat dealing overkill damage (alternatively meatshield that survives at least one hit from that threat)
- no meatshields at all (this is not a joke); this can come in handy when enemies are barely stopped by meatshields but cannot instantly reach backliners themselves, so you can focus all your expenses (and slots) to different attacking units
- rock cat + biobone/research combos for maximum trolling (unless enemies have cyclonic DPS or money is a issue)
These are just that come from my head right now (and I probably forgot about couple of combinations) but I tested all of them and they work perfectly if they fit into stage design
egg GET
Frick you too.
>some random halloween themed event timed score stage
>one of the hardest 4 crown stages in the game
What the hell was PONOS thinking making this one, it was even appearently worse (3 times stronger enemies than normal, 3 fricking 2100% Drac-o-wlas at once, not to mention overbuffed support)
Hope you got your Cataur leveled, cause he outranges the owls.
Jokes aside, i just stacked Ururuns and it was at least enough for 900 score.
I find cataur to be really underwhelming, he is basically weaker (and much frailer) dragon cat that only works very well against floating (and zombies with talents) but dies to pretty much everything when enemies break the frontline, making him very risky to use (also it's really infuriating to lose entire stack due to one slip up) not to mention his single target + kinda long foreswing makes him likely to waste attacks on support
Not to mention, he needs TF + 25 rare catseyes + some dupe levels + talents to really work
Its easier to just obtain UL legends and TF them, since most of them (except dogumaru) work well on this stage (especially ururun&urs combo and well protected Naala can crush these owls, as well as sniping the base)
I might also add manic island as tanker/meele attacker against prof A as courier can have some issues with delivering hits due to high attack rate and damage enough to juggle him (unless weakened by roe cat but you have to watch out for relic doges but if you rush the stage you can kill boss before they start to spawn which is around 86.67 seconds after stage starts)
Also I find fishman cat to be incredibly useful for killing Queen Mother V before second prof A arrives
Basically rich cat + treasure radar + thunderbolt cannon + attack up and/or speed up combos + A.Baha/Courier/M.Island/Fishman/Roe (all max levels) + some timing skill can grant you free slime cat that is hella broken on 4 crown SoL stages
I myself am pre-UL (which means Legendary units are only level 30, and forget any SoL unit being TF'd), but with a lot of meatshields, stacking L'il King Dragons, and trying to also stack Ururuns and mid-form Behemoths I managed to eke out a victory, albeit with only 289 on the counter.
Still, 30 more cf for me.
any strategies to beat the old queen pre UL? its not like i really need slime but i think itd be funny if i managed to pull it off + it helps in 4 crowns stages (on top of just being good ofc)
From what I remember, I used Roe Cat to just tank the Prof. A damage. As well as A.Bahamut to kill the first Prof.A before the second one spawned.
The stage should be much easier nowadays with courier cat countering every peon in that stage. Once the first Prof.A dies you can just spam Roe cat to win by default, so your entire lineup can be dedicated to just that. There's a limited amount of Relic Doges, so you can wait those out too
took a bunch of rich cats but i managed to beat it
attack up combos work way better than defense up
Very nice! Now work on your slime timings
I used this strategy, altough i used pre-tf Cutter Cat instead of Bullet Train.
Should I use my catseye on Amaterasu?
One more ticket and 30 CF and ill make the track switch! That legend rare is as good as mine!
Nice, go get that bag. Any particular legend you're eyeing?
Hello there.
He any good?

The frick is this medal? Also, how in the heavenly frick are you guys farming cubes? This is bullshit, BULLSHIT. I just beat the last culling stage and this jethomosexual needs SEVENTY fricking stones total?! I've got so many unevolved eggs bros. I know most of them are shit but still. Hunters maps just arent cutting it. Give us a break already ponos. How about some fricking catfruit/stone hybrids for fricks sake.
yeah it sucks
hunters map 4 makes it a bit easier, also it can drop up to 2 gems as well
Hunters 4? I've only seen hunters 3, most of the time I'm getting dogshit like Necro Frontier. How do you farm for Hunters 4?
https://battle-cats.fandom.com/wiki/Enigma_Stages?so=search
Basically, just finish Uncanny Legends and get the Luza egg.
Fricks sake. I'm still chasing Doron, this UL shit never ends. Feels like months since I picked up.. urs? I don't even remeber anymore.
"Mavolence" is for Brainwashed true form stages, Ponos forgot to schedule them for EN.
God fricking damnit
Finally got enough coal to level up Curseblast, now all my cannons are at least lvl 10.
For growing stages which stage do I beat repeatedly, the first or third stage? Or does it even matter?
Depends on what you need
Seeds = Do first stage
Full Fruit = Do last stage
Thanks
The first and third stage have their chance of seeds and fruits swapped (60% and "30% minus whatever the chance of getting an Epic Catfruit is"), so going for the harder one is the obvious choice. Of course there's still 10% chance of getting exactly jack shit.
There should be a separate 100% Catfruit stage, because this at some point it's just busywork. Call it "Blitzing [Color]" and drop if for two or three hours in a day, fill it with Behemoths if you feel the need to make it hard, but just give me a surefire way to get a goddamn fruit when I need one.
not sure if it's 100% each stage but catfruit buffet is a pretty good way of getting lots of fruits if you aren't picky about what you want
they seem to be the same chances as if you did them normally, did them mostly for the 30 catfruit but the 3rd green envy stage didn't drop anything.
I need this, but for fricking Aku Fruit, I need 9 more to get the rest of the TFs that use them
i think the fact that the halloween banner has all the top 3 best brainwashed cats is pretty funny
There has to be some reason to pull it since the only decent uber in the set is just an inferior Yukimura
Vars is pretty good
One of the few seasonal variants with a TF and the knockback and slow effects are 100% rate

Fricking ponos. I'll have to wait till next year. Again.
Don't worry man, 2024 will be OUR year.
I am getting filtered hard by Chubby B Goode and that fricking camel, any things I can try to do to improve my chances of success?
Right now I’m rolling with Mowhawk, Catburger, Eraser, Takuya and Lovely Yuki, Magica, Jurassic Sitter, Swordmaster, Island, Peach Angels, and Crazed Bahamut.
Chubby is probably the biggest filter stage after Empire 3 Moon.
That being said, I'd highly consider swapping Bahamut for Valkyrie.
Bahamut's abysmal attack speed + 100 shorter range makes him a near-worthless matchup versus Camelle.
wtf is that lineup
that level is piss easy are you trying to lose on purpose
If you dont have any units that outrande Camelle(which you probably wont) your only other option is to tank the damage
So cat units with a lot of hp and small amounts of knockbacks like Titan Cat. Just kill all the other dangerous peons first, then just spam Titan cat and wait. If you have any other tank ubers, you can use them here
I recommend Phono, Dkasli, using a decent anti traitless like d’arktanyan or jagando and using Awakened bahamut instead of Crazed.
>Just use some of the best units in the game.
I understand you've probably got good intentions anon but consider 4 star. Here's what I did 4 star with and I'm reasonably sure it was fricking awful. I can't quite remember.
Im not sure how i beat it on 4star with this, i might have just pushed hard enough to get the camel stuck against the base with breakerblast then chipped it down. That might not be practical if you dont have talents or worker up combos to abuse, but i guess theres always sniper + worker battle items.
Recently i noticed that my wushu cat is tanky enough to get hits in on camelle so if you have nothing else they might be worth a try, or you can lead him near the base and let courier chip him down
How is that 4 star when you’ve got kubilan an uber?
Combos, you can still put them in the lineup you just can't deploy them.
>No True Forms except for Normal Cats
You probably don't have a high enough User Rank to unlock lvl. 30, huh? If you can't defeat Camelle right now, you might as well try and clear some story mode. I'm assuming you've cleared EoC but are only starting off ItF?
I for one cannot wait for The Perfect Cyclone to make its Zero Legends debut
HA
GET FRICKED SCOLIOSIS HORSE
Thanks to the anons who suggested using tankier cats like Titan and longer ranged cats like Valkyrie, worked a treat, and saved me from beating my head into a camel shaped brick wall. Now to deal with the existential horror of this cud chewing abomination appearing in future stages. I fear R.Ost. I don’t know what it is, but the sheer amount of b***hing I hear about it sure as hell doesn’t paint a good picture
Congrats, you've gotten your first taste of the bullshit this game can throw at you.
Hope you're eager for more
>spoiler
Proper. The good news is, you won't see it until chapter 17, and it only starts becoming a problem once it hits 200% magnification even further down.
But other than that, congrats on the win.
How goes your Into the Future progress, Anon? You'll need it soon enough, since Aliens start appearing in SoL in Chapter 25.
Of course, you have some other FUN on the road there too.
Imo the most bullshit stage for early SoL is the last gang, because it requires you to stunlock Nyandam with knockback ubless you have some insane dps going on, basically it's a pirate cat check because with bra cats it-s much harder to pull off.
>SCOLIOSIS HORSE

in my experience the first couple times you see it aren't too bad, once you hit The Bathroom you realize why it's so bad. though thankfully i don't remember them putting another one in a stage from that to mina's stage.

One of my monthly missions is to defeat Croakley at a 3-crown SoL, so I compared how many stages I have to clear to get to one, and the shortest route was on Blizzard Boulevard. What I didn't notice until it was too late is that it means I have clear fricking Scorched Toolbooth again.
Finally......uberfest
Also can someone explain in the most simplest way possible on how to switch to track b in the seed reader
Like you're explaining to a kid who just gained consciousness and who has a slight learning disability
it switch track when it say it switch track
it only switch track when
>two same rare cat in a row
in pic me get two wushu in row so second wushu get replaced by pogo, followed by track switch
keep in mind its only 2 rares. 2 supers or 2 ubers in row dont work.
>guaranteed uber
in pic if i would do a 15-pull on Psychocat somehow, it would do 10 pulls on the current track, pull the guaranteed uber and then switch tracks.
You cant just switch tracks when you feel like it.
Me thanks you
I now own Phono and D'Phono. Nice.
Speaking of, is it even possible to figure out when the next D.Phono would drop. I know there's an option for it on the tracker, but since Fests have most of the regular Ubers available as well, you'd have to take the new Luga into account as well, since the last Epicfest dropped before that one got introduced.
And here's where the problems begin, because the "find next" lists on the Superfest and the Plat Ticket banners, the only that would have both D.Phono and the Luga, list them in different orders (on the Plat, Luga is listed above DP ha, ha, sex thing and it's the other way around on the Superfest). So even if you used the "add future Ubers" option, which one would be D.Phono?
I guess there's really nothing else to do but wait a little over a week until the next Epicfest hopefully gets added to the tracker.
I lucked into D'Phono at the tail end of the anniversary, he was just sitting there at like 11B with a track swap shortly before. Phono took a good bit more effort on my part, lining up my Plat ticket to snag him.
If two units attack at the same time, but one is enough to knockback, does it take damage from both?
If they attack at the same frame, then they should yes.
You ever notice how a non-z-killer unit can rarely z-kill a zombie if it attacks at the same time as a z-killer unit? Its the same principle.
God these CotC zombie stages are so annoying
>Unit limit of 5
>Zombies keep burrowing and stalling my push
>Add Metal enemies on top to make things even slower
on topic of restrictions, which fricking madman at PONOS thought that giving unit limit of 5 restriction to New Testament (Clionel revenge) was in any form fair? Without some really serious anti angel ubers, this stage is downright unbeatable
I still have to do Okame's restriction stage which is also a 5 unit limit, worst part of these stages is that once you get to the limit you still have to wait a bit once an unit dies before you can deploy again.
I think it's until the "soul" leaves the zoomed-out screen?
Yep, until that little soul leaves you gotta wait
i still haven't done clionel revenge so that's worrying to hear,i was able to okame's renvenge only because i had that one anti black rusher bird uber with me, i don't have any notable angel ubers tough so that's gonna be a problem
For some time now, whenever the Shrine pops up, I always get shafted. No Luck, Bad Luck, Disaster... and nothing to show for it. Sure, its just 5xp, so I'm not losing that much, but now I've pulled Super Luck and I'm still not getting anything.
Every day I hate angels just a little bit more
>Legend rare in 13 rolls
Next time the Ultra Souls banner appears it's over for this asswipe.
Was there no guaranteed for shoumetsu, or did I just miss it?
You missed it, I got all 4 Ubers from it in 2 rolls.
Oh well, I don't even know that this series is, so I'm not too torn up about it.
It's a phone game that I don't think eve got out of Japan, kino collab music though.
They had the guarantee back for halloween
This guy good?
Saw he had the funny blue color on my platinum seed and went for it since I had 2
Also got regular phono 13 more rolls down on platinum tickets, should I go for him or save it for dark kasli cause I've heard shes good
Yes, he is arguably top 5.
WPhono and Dasli are the 2 best units in the game, in the end its up to preference which one to get.
Do you want busted damage vs traited at 600 range? Then Phono.
Do you want busted damage vs everything thats not surge immune + Curse at 400 range? Then Dasli.
not him but
>phono at 291A
>dasli at 862B
good thing i have a frickton of catfood and rare tickets stocked up while waiting for a good guaranteed for a legend to get decently close to phono.
Decided to just do it and get him, dont know if ill ever get this chance again.
Finally beat skelling with them after a 2 year break
Worth it
Look around ahead of time in your banners (add future Ubers) to see where they move around to and you might be able to snag 'em sooner than expected.
But otherwise, Dark Kasli is nuts. The only exception is if you don't have Jizo yet, cause normal form Phono is a godly midranger.
T. TriKasli and Dual Phono
>XP megablitz is supposed to be on now along with island of hidden treasure
>megablitz isn't there
i got rused by fricking battle cats god damn it
My XP stages didn't pop up either last Sunday when we swapped to winter time over here.
must be it or something to do with daylight savings since merciless XP didn't show up either. also has two sundays where all of the events slam together at 11PM.
oh well, not hurting for the stuff anyway. every cat i have is at 30 and i just need to wait to get more catseyes.
Thought I was the only one
Judging by the timers, it seems the day just rolled over for me an hour earlier than it should. Weird.
Daylight savings time?
any good merc storia non uber unit worth using?
Healer for cheesing. There will eventually be one or two stages you will be really thankful you have him.
nono is a decent black meatshield
Where are the brainwashed cat TF stages
I want my relic dodge meatshields already
We're so back bros.
I haven't played in 2 years, and I only made it as far as Uncanny Legends with the Relic enemies.
What's the new shit I should keep an eye on? What are the big changes and additions?
Well the new big addition were Behemoths! It's a new subtrait that's tacked on to enemies with its own skill that targets it(Behemoth Slayer: deal 2.5x more damage | take 0.6x less damage)
Along with it new Behemoth Culling stages were added that appear every day, where you can get new evolution materials(Evolution Stones) as well as unlock new units which can range from broken(courier) to completely useless(surgeon).
Hope you're a Kanna fan cause she's the only good uber that got Behemoth Slayer.
There's also the Aku Realms, which is a story chapter you have to unlock by beating Empress Research stages that appear each day. If you know, you ever wanted to be spammed by enemy surges and deal with even more obnoxious barriers.
Alright I see.
Damn, along with having to remember how to actually play and where I was, there's also so much that has been added.
It's kinda insane how much content this game puts out.
There's also Underground Labyrinth, although it hasn't popped up in a while. Related to that (because that's where you can "farm" them), we have Dark Catseyes (get Ubers from lvl. 50 to lvl. 60) and Ultra Talents (unlocked at lvl. 60)
is this lil homie any good?
If you're willing to invest heavily into his talents, sure
Did they really give out a free Legendery during 10th Anni?
Also couple questions:
What's the layout for progression on Aku Stages? There's this Aku Realm which I think is like an entire World Map for Aku, but how do I unlock it?
What Relic/Aku/Behemoth units should I be on the lookout for? I'm on my way to Dogemaru so I'm really dry on these 3 traited enemies except for units that generally attack all traits.
When do I get to see Behemoth enemies or get to farm those Behemoth Crystals?
And by the way, Behemoth is an awful name. Could've gone with Ancient or Prehistoric.
>There's this Aku Realm which I think is like an entire World Map for Aku, but how do I unlock it?
Complete the Empress Research set of stages:

>What Relic/Aku/Behemoth units should I be on the lookout for? I'm on my way to Dogemaru so I'm really dry on these 3 traited enemies except for units that generally attack all traits.
I'll be honest chief, we still dont have many good anti-relic options aside from the true forms of the uncanny legends cat, which you can only get at like the very end of UL. You're gonna have to rely on just generalists like Amaterasu, Dasli, Phono and the usual suspects.
Aku has an uber dedicated to countering the trait in just about every banner now. About the bests ones imo are: Lilin, Hevijak and Lucifer. Also keep an eye out for units that have shield piercing like Aku Researcher, or talented Kai. Shot out to talented li'l King Dragon Cat for having surge immune talent making him a strong late game option.
For behemoths once again, the best units are the uncanny legend cats. They all gain behemoth slayer then. Kanna and Courier are other options, too.
>When do I get to see Behemoth enemies or get to farm those Behemoth Crystals?
They should already be unlocked, check your ingame calendar
>And by the way, Behemoth is an awful name. Could've gone with Ancient or Prehistoric.
I mean relics already have the calling of being the ancient ones, and behemoths dont mean old just feral.
PONOS should have called them Monster and the skill Monster Hunter like they clearly wanted to do.
>we still dont have many good anti-relic options aside from the true forms of the uncanny legends cat
I've seen people recommend TF'd Figure Skating Cats.
Oh yeah, Slapstick cats are very important as anti relics
I kinda took those guys for a given.
Still kinda sucks when magnified Pufferfish still kill them in one hit
Alright I see, thanks a lot.
I guess all these Egg units are useless?
Not quite
I mean, you get
>courier cat
one of the best non-gacha cats in the game that crushes red enemies and is useful against nearly anything non-metal
>Luza
despite being a legend, is also theoretically an egg unit (and Luza is basically relic Pai-Pai with behemoth slayer)
>haniwa
not OP but quite solid anti-traitless meatshield (helps greatly against R. Ost)
>cactus
very solid anti-aku AND surge-immune meatshield, basically rover cat for aku
>supercar
great rusher, shield piercer and barrier breaker, with bonus ability to knockback enemy tanks - not to mention, its basically 4 crown maglev
>hitman
housewife but anti-traitless and wave immune, fantastic against certain flightless bird frick and traitless threats in general
>fallen bear
discount teacher bearcat, it only counters aku in TF (why make bearcat an egg unit PONOS, have you lost your mind???), however, it is essentially a giant middle finger to Aku Gory, and this enemy is considered so obnoxious that this cat is still viable (oh, and you can use it on aku/behemoth master a, but you need to be precise with timings)
>mushroom
very good anti-angel, viable on 4 crown (unfortunatelly winged swine still curbstomps it), with being wave immune as a bonus
>cat chief
solid anti-zombie, as it has good range, SOULSTRIKE with Z-KILLER (and it is only spammable attacker to have these abilities) and again, viable on 4 crown
>soap cat
Roe for aliens (and good generally for behemoths) and it is VIABLE for super hyppoh, unfortunately, it is super rare so no 4 crown usage and it lacks warp immune so it struggles against starred aliens
>barrel
very reliable LD shield piercer, which is awfully rare, especially for 4 crown viable unit, with added survivabilty against Aku (60% shield pierce is hilarious, especially for LD area attacker with range 300 and LD 225~400)
>tbc
I'm a fan of Farmboy for being a higher ranged sanzo, especially against St.Dober.
And Cop Cat has some good niche uses too as a bulky traitless or general behemoth attacker.
you beat me to Cop lmao
>farmboy
eeh, technically not outclassed by Sanzo due to higher range and ridiculous slow uptime, but single target is kinda ass against angel spam and wave immune feel random as only angel that use waves is Rajakong, which is terminated by Mushroom cat
I feel like he is very solid CC unit, just not top priority egg as his trait has been already powercrept
At least his design is funny
>cop cat
basically anti-traitless pizza cat, except it focuses on tanking rather than ranged DPS (from combination of both strong + only 2 KB)
>inb4 anyone says outclassed by hitman
not true, cop has a very different purpose than hitman, not to mention surviving longer on the field, unfortunately, he also is banned from 4 crown (shame, 4 crown anti-traitless pizza would be fun)
>cat egg pod
only unlocked after beating entire behemoth bs, but it is THE behemoth tanker with ultra high dodge chance, powerful impact damage and great effective defense against behemoths
And that's all useful egg units (12 out of 21, which is a lot for single category to be fair)
Rest you can skip, as they are extremely niche and rarely work in practice (and gained infamy for bad egg units)
The only exception is gas mask cat (ranged meatshield resistant against blacks and behemoth slayer to turbo tank DarkJoe, Ragin Gory and Kurocroc
Downside is they all are hella expensive to evolve (and you can only farm at reasonable rate after UL, gl hf) and most of them cap only at 50 lvl (no + levels)
So no, they are not useless, just require a frickton of grinding
Also metal egg is still not released, so my hopes are high for it being useful (there is at least ONE great cat for each trait, so I hope they don't frick it up, maybe something like 60% crit rate?)
>Also metal egg is still not released
theres also no metal behemoths, which i'm very happy about
Just imagine some bullshit like a Sir Metal Seal with the pushing power of Rajakong
God I wish I could have had cat egg pod for Mining Epic.
>a free Legendary
Yeah, they do it every year now.
Oh wait, no, I misread. They gave out a Plat ticket, not a Legend.
JP gets a free Legend from just doing the Aku Realms anyway.
I got an urge to check and it seems like for the last year or so, new updates have come out every month and one to two weeks, and since Japan last got one at the start of October, I'd say there's a good chance they'll get the next one within the week.
And since I "predicted" a new Almighty Uber before v12.7 hit, I decided to try again. As it stands, the regular banner that went the longest without a new unit is Galaxy Gals, with Terun released with v11.2 in January 2022, followed closely by Wargods/Vajiras with Hattori Hanzo on Valentines Day.
So a question for you: if you had to choose between a new space lady and a furry version of a Japanese historical figure, how large should them tiddies be?
I want some unreasonably huge breasts.
Like head-size.
Yeah, 13.0 was supposed to come sometime early November, so should be any day now.
At the latest after the current collab is over.
Im curious if they decide to keep adding Ubers to these banners (probably will) or if they stick with 10 each. Wouldn't mind a completely new banner either.
I want a new story chapter for 13.0, if EoC gets the Aku Realms then maybe something similar being made for ItF and CotC would be nice, that way we can also get a TF for Jagando.
Le'Grim gauntlet is back and apparently there was no checkpoint last time, since I'm back to lv1
My biggest complain about this game is how fricking moronic the Enemy Catalog is.
How so
Impossible to find anything.
Yeah not like there's anything useful in there, but I'd still like a sorting feature of some kind

Well it looks like we got an answer as to what this is supposed to be - it's a teaser for BCJP's 11th anniversary. The pixelated cat alluded to the retro RPG theme of this anniversary.

The plot thickens
Not realy a fan of Talent or Talent Orbs as a concept.
I like the idea of expanding a unit's niche or boosting their capabilities. Having something like Poseidon randomly deal 200k damage with a savage blow is really funny.
Farming them is unbearable however
I think talents are great and can help give units a second chance.
Talent Orbs are great, as long as its not obvious what to use.
Being able to give Balrog Attack up vs Reds so he can solo Berserkory is fun.
Having to put Massive Damage vs Blacks on Pizza because its the obvious thing to do is boring.
I just wish they would remove the NP cost of removing Orbs, thats just dumb.
i've only barely started to put attention on those and i have a feeling NP specifically is gonna be a b***h to farm.
Talents are annoying to get but make such a huge difference that they are very satisfying to get, talent orbs just feel like busy work though.
orbs are shit and feel like a waste of time
still haven't used a single one
i like talents because they arent that expensive to get with the exception of ultra talents
I did several tries on WanWan since it's here and I don't really have anything else to use my energy on atm, holy shit was I not prepared.
I failed to make a dent in Z-onel as well. Should I wait with those Merciless Advents until I finish SoL at least?
WanWan isn't too bad with the right units (well the revenge stage is kinda hard) but Z-Onel is genuinely one of the hardest advents.
But Puffsley, Emperor, Empress, Okame, Queen V, Doremi are all very doable. Kappy isn't too bad either if you have stone, but thats locked behind AAC. Papuu is a joke if you have toxic immune or curse units.
i should probably start hitting the advent stages now that i got all the cyclone stage units (sans super cosmic because i haven't touched CoTC) but i probably should just focus on talent orbs and tickets for the time being.
I'd recommend doing Hannya as soon as you can, since Express Cat is genuinely amazing, and the stage isn't too hard if you have Courier + A. Bahamut.
Bakoo is the easiest so thats a good starting point too.
I'm almost done with 3* SoL and a bit through UL and i still haven't really needed talent orbs. I only have one Attack up A for Pizza and Defense up A for Catasaurus and i've been doing just fine.
noted, i'll make sure to knock those out once they come.
definitely only going for talent orbs to put on stuff i use often like pizza, and i don't mind being slow since i've done long grinding related stuff in other video games and it's something to do while i'm waiting for that damn pixies/gals guaranteed.
Japan version released a new Pixie unit with v12.6, so you shouldn't be waiting much longer since there's always a Guaranteed banner when a new unit is introduced (except for Fest exclusives). Although Iron Legion's Sphinx Logistics will probably be brought in first, and you can forget about December since I'm pretty sure the Guaranteed banners then will be the Christmas and Hatsune Miku ones.
i expected i would probably have to wait until the new year, though having to skip out on yet another collab (and one i was wanting to get a couple things from even if they're probably bad) is starting to sting more than i thought.
oh well, patience is key and waiting to get both lumina and jeanne just means i can figure out whether to grab MOMOCO or gaia when i get to 367A (thanks seed placement but after that i have to wait until close to 1000 to even get a whiff of another legend)
I fear for the day they introduce Z-Onel's restriction stage, frick Star Peng man, and frick that hyper buffed General Gregory.
I only had 75 np and spent it all on can cans money up before anything else
did I brick?
You can't brick on NP, you just get them back eventually, Can Can's money talent is one of the best anyway so it was a good investment.
From now on for non-rush stages, you can open with Cancan and get big money out of most early peons.
After years I've finally completed CoTC 3
FRICK YOU PONOS AND FRICK THIS SHIT GAME
STUPID FRICKING RESTRICTIONS AND OVERPOWERED ALIENS

?si=xdrTL3PgdaZ4oSyN
Grats, you've finally finished the tutorial.
Is anyone else completely dogshit at team-building or knowing what strats actually work?
Like a lot of it feels like some kind of guesswork, sometimes a team can get absolutely destroyed and you just switch one cat out and suddenly it works, or you can very easily cheese it out with some cat combo. Or maybe it requires a tiny amount of luck to work but it's not immediately obvious.
All I practically do is get 3/4 meatshields, and spam units that are strong against the enemy units, and if that doesn't work and it requires a more precise strategy beyond that I freeze out.
Don't really wanna look up guides cause that defeats the entire point of the game but it's so hard not to when I feel like I'm completely in the blind on what's working and what isn't.
Specially for these Advents are kicking my ass.
Any strategy that requires timing cats immediately makes my brain shut down.
Dont ask me to use carefully timed rushers or time slime cat/supercar correctly
Count me in. I have a hard time adding combos to my teams since I still work under the principle of "as many spammable units as possible" and don't know how to make room, I barely know how to time my units right, and more often than not any super-sniper (so mostly Cyberpunk) strat I try will end up with the enemy pushing right next to it within a minute.
With that said, I mostly use existing strategies to get an idea how to clear a stage myself, since half the time I don't have some crucial unit anyhow.
I mean the game isn't shy at telling you to google for shit
A lot of gimmick stages aren't meant to be brute forced like the ones that hide ridiculously buffed enemies behind a unit limit, something you wouldn't know if you try playing the stage conventionally
How much does leveling up Cat Worker during battle increase in money per second?
I wanna know when it starts paying off, time wise.
I dont think we have the hard numbers? But ideally, you'd want to get enough levels that just spamming all your meatshields still give you a positive cash income in the end
Someone went hardcore autistic on plebbit years ago:
>https://www.reddit.com/r/battlecats/comments/3mpf2c/examination_of_the_worker_cat_at_lvl_30/
Okay perfect this is exactly what I needed.
So just one Worker Cat level is enough unless you need the extra space.
How do we save Valkyrie cat? Talents? Something else?
Just make her into Li'l Valkyrie but good this time with talents
As in, give her some backswing for the love of god

I will swear up and down the crit procs aren't as advertised. Absolutely raped by metal hippos in Archeology 501 analysis today.
I love sending my 50% crit chance Paladin and have him whiff 10 times in a row.
Frick metal enemies really, today I had just enough energy for ONE UL stage and I go blind without a critter in the lineup and Sir Metal Seal decides to show up 40 seconds in.
Always just look up a stage's lineup, even if you don't look up spawn timings, just to know what to bring. Stages should just have tags on them so you know what types of enemies are within instead of being full blind, but I don't really expect Ponos to seriously change how things work again after changing their difficulty rating system.
You just didnt believe in him enough
>metal cyclone stage
>use moneko/crazed moneko crit up combo

Frick.
I actually cleared it, didn't expect that. I don't want to jinx it, but I might be able to complete a baron gauntlet for the first time.
And jinx it is, because if my math is right, starting with next level my Ultra Atlantis Logistix won't be able to one-shot a Zuche, and who knows how much damage that'll cause.
you can consider using an attack up combo. I use one in my farming loadout just so that bearcat can one shot zuche on the final stage
I did consider it, but a small one only ups my attack enough for another level. I ended up swapping out Pizza, who was constantly juggled anyway, for Chief Cat and sent him out alongside UAL, or if there's a corpse somewhere he could get to, and it worked out. Of course, I forgot that Pizza was still useful on the Orb stage, but I managed to clear it anyway.
I have achieved it.
Very nice.
Le'Grim was also my first baron medal mainly because I had enough ubers that outranged him so I could just chip him down over a looong time.
With the new jetpack cat, grinding it should be smoother
damn wish it was legend ticket
who do i hypermax first/better generalist
Have you completed CoC if not then Surfer
Seafarer works fine at 30, never really used him for a generalist, If you had Can Can I would have said that but out of the 3 Pizza is the tankiest and what can dish out the most damage.
Housewife was one of the first I maxed in both levels and talents and I don't regret it for a second.

What a fricking disaster. Why do I keep taking Bahamut out of my loadout...
The time will come, but you are not there yet, soldier.
For some reason I forgot about Hitman Cat
He sure would have been helpful for the Bore Jrs and Wild Doges, yep. He sure would have.
Why are seeds harder to get than fruits.
>Clear Li'l Cats' +50 stage
>Check how the +55 stage looks like
>Aku
They can stay at +50 for a while, not like my actual units are anywhere near that anyhow.
The thing that scared me about +55 was more the lack of good anti wave units outside of talents in the special and rare section than the Akus, breezed through after I got Talented Dancer.
That double kitkat bar cat is pretty good
Kit Cat
Purely hypothetically, would it be okay to call it that? Or would Ponos get slammed with copyright infringement? Or maybe even trademark infringement, I don't know.
I would go for the safe route and call it Kitty Cat Bar Cat.

>turn off internet

its not rocket surgery anon
that said tho, you rarely even need to use the glitch, considering how much the game showers you with Leaderships
Yeah
I just use my leaderships on xp stages
I spend them all on Siege of Hippoe
I'm saving those
Finish your outbreaks.
i'm gonna end up wasting them all on damn talent orbs, i can see why farming them is so bad (why the frick are the drop rates for anything not attack and defense D/C so shit no matter which of the three difficulties island of hidden treasure is)
Dont those basically only drop from colossus stages? If you can get to level 16 thry're pretty farmable, it just takes forever
i am looking for said attack/defense orbs over anything else, i just wish the drop rates for anything but C/D for even the hardest hidden treasure stages weren't at best 3.5% (and even then it's only B).
probably just gonna do what another anon said and just only focus extremely on pizza i'm already close to getting 2 A attack orbs even if attack orbs are apparently a pretty small buff.
I ground out an S metal resist for catosaurus then basically just did the enigma stages. Frick talent orbs
i want to get defense orbs for octo, ramen and catasarus but playing ebony dawn so many times drained me on the concept fast and i don't feel like playing the stage with 3 sleipnirs or a steady stream of bun buns and pigeons 60+ times. at least metals only have defense orbs.
Honestly i had an easy enough time just pumping them to level 50 with talent orbs, id start with that. Coincidentally i never needed octopus cat because i ended up collecting so many wave immune units that by the time i needed a wave blocker i had talented out mini-cat and mushroom, and my ubers did the rest
whens 13.0
There's no release date yet, but if I had to guess, it'd be somewhere between 11/13 and 11/15, that way the update drops before the anniversary.
It'd be funny if it released 11/11 for the 11th anniversary, but if I'm not mistaken, Ponos doesn't release updates on weekends.
Oh boy new event data in 11 hours oh boy.
Just give Ganglion behemoth slayer talent so I can delete that god forsaken crab from the game already
Slow immune would be good too
Hate seeing Ganglion frozen in mid air after taking a hit from the crab
event data is out. Princess Punt collab starts next week.
Man these units are absolutely garbage. Aside from lil Gau, the only interesting ones are Herme with 800 backwards omni and Crazed c**t with 780 range.
The rest are just worse versions of cats already in the game.
Even then, I might add, Chibigau TF only holds up as legitimately good unit usable on harder stages
However, his niche is effectively cucked by brainwashed mohawk cat (with its curse immune further making chibigau irrelevant, unless you plan on using both)
Complaining that collab units are garbage is like complaining that water is wet.
Some collab units are good though, the better complaint is that we got a trashy BCJP exclusive collab instead of the Miku one.
>ummm ackshually THIS collab unit isn't bad! I am very intelligent!
For every decent collab cat there are 5 shitty/completely pointless ones. Therefore when speaking about how they generally are, one should expect them to be bad. Give up, you lost.
Isn't that true for non-collab units as well?
yeah and 99% of ubers are invalidated by the best fest ubers
I just try to collect everything for fun
I wish the Metal Slug cats weren't so horribly weak.
I learned about battle cats because of the collab with Metal Slug Defense.
Can you even use them still? Because the wiki lists them as "Unobtainable", probably because that specific Metal Slug gacha is dead.
Anyhow, if the units ever come back, they need to get TFs for sure to make them at least useable. Maybe talents as well.
yeah you can use them fine
I wish I rolled more of them
Apologize
I feel like I'm missing out by bringing Gao into everything...
Huge crutch but otherwise I'd have smashed by phone.
Oh dont worry, he falls off at some point
I had Sirius and Luke before finally getting Gao and he felt terrible to use at that point with his outdated specs. The higher range is nice but 6000 cost is way too high while the other 2 were cheaper and in Sirius' case had so many more perks like fast recharge, LD and immunity to status. She's pretty much a mainstay in my builds
Yeah, I used Gao all the time until I pulled Phono.
Gao's great but you hit a point where a bulky backliner just isnt as good as kalsi or chronos or really just any dedicated shit-kicker
You dont want to go through it all in a single day do you?
>Come back to play after a long while
>New Zombie Outbreaks, timelocked but cool, can do a couple a day
>Turns out there's a new miniquest of sorts with behemoth enemies and mats
>Also timelocked though
>There's another miniquest with Aku Research that works the same way
>It's also timelocked, but it unlocks a bunch of shit once it's done
>Finish the first batch of Aku quests, and unlock Aku Realms
>It's an entire new campaign based on Aku enemies
>Enter
>It's timelocked
I keep missing empress excavations and it annoys me thoroughly.
Now that it gets ported to Global, is the Punt collab a yearly thing like Merc Storia or Toshi? I'll probably pull a little bit, even if these units aren't very good, they bring me closer to UR 15001 and maxed out Superfeline, not to mention the Labyrinth if it ever comes back.
Also this shit is wild, I've got a string of three track swaps in my first ten pulls, and it most likely only stops because it hit a Super rare spot. Also three identical track swaps one after another. But I guess it's to be expected if there's only three Rare units.
Meanwhile on the Epicfest banner, fricking Dhono is still 999+ away. At least I've got three of him in the first 60 pulls on the Plat banner, so I might be able to grab him that way.
>Meanwhile on the Epicfest banner, fricking Dhono is still 999+ away.
I dug deeper and that fricker is 2580 spots away. Yeah, I'll need to plat him.
I just hope the next guaranteed is something that I don't have many Ubers of like Wargods or Galaxy Gals or Ultra Souls.
>stroll through SoL after beating CotC
>beat Red Hood, now things get tricky
>reach the bird parade
>mfw
I beat it somehow in the end but I feel like I really need something anti traitless that isn't Gladios. And some anti angels too because holy shit that big angel monke in empress' excavation is a fricking TANK.
Yeah post Mina is where shit stats getting serious even when overprepared.
Only viable counter to Rajakong is ramen and mushroom, and even then ramen gets shredded when ape decides to spam waves, doubling its DPS
Fortunately, mushroom devours Rajakong like courier Ahirujo but it is not a sign of good balance there, PONOS
I have no idea why ever since Aku Gory PONOS decided to give all the new gorillas a random proc chance to destroy your frontlines.
Yeah, and it gets even worse
In the newest update, they added miniature version of D. Cyclone
Not only she is fast as frick, has huge DPS (single target thankfully) and has way too much knockbacks, but for some godforsaken reason, she has random chance to generate mini-surge on every attack which means she will quickly flood your whatever line with mini-surges
Fun
Oh, and she’s support enemy btw, there’s chance she can be spammed
Gladios isn't too bad since he ensures the ostriches don't push too hard but you also need good amount of meatshields to wall between Gladios' attack
does she have any use besides being a cum bawd
Is there a Talent Guide?
What Talents to look out for, which ones take priority, etc...
The one on UDP is OK but quite outdated by now
A lot of high priority talents listed the like Kai Shield Pierce are obsolete by now thanks to the increasing number of shield piercing units
Most of the Rare/Super/Special ones still hold up for the most part.
Only questionable stuff is Dancer Cat. And Cyberpunk is only useful if you have no better backliners. Housewife also isn't all that useful, to me at least.
And i never really used Sanzo outside of Cyclone stages, not sure why hes top priority when Ramen is usually enough.
Maybe the list isn't all that good after all.
My priority would be Can Can (Money up + Speed), Pizza Wave, Catasaurus Crit and Cameraman (Survive minimum, maybe more).
Then just look what units you use most often and look if they have any worthwhile talents.
Man why is this game so fricking hard I just want to play but every stage I need to do is a blockade this shit's hardcore.
Anyway which of these cats is hypermaxable:
>Courier Cat
>Slapstick Cats
>Aphrodite
>Ganesha
you could try getting gud bro
Courier>Ganesha(with Talents)>Slapstick>Ganesha(without Talents)
idk what you mean by hypermaxable, but they all benefit from lvl50(+).
>idk what you mean by hypermaxable
Just if they're worth getting to level 50 at all.
Although now I realize naming Ubers is kinda the wrong move since there are so many, plus I don't really use those but I heard they're very very good.
Courier is busted and even more busted at 50.
Slapstick is alright, but i personally don't use em, even against relics.
For the Ubers its mostly if you have anything better that you can max instead.
Aphrodite is worth boosting, unless you have Phono
Ganesha is worth boosting, unless you have Shishilan Pasalan, who does more damage at higher range for similar cost and without needing talents. Only upside Ganesha has is more HP and lower cooldown.
>Only upside Ganesha has is more HP and lower cooldown.
Also you know, high piercing LD
and almost double the attack rate
I finnaly managed to finish all the advent bosses and cyclones, minus tyrant nyandam and kawano, and i just had to have rock cat last because of stupid
now time to get fricked by the growing strange and sol as of now
so i have 2 relic fruits and 4 seed, what should i true form with them first
As per
there's only one unit that uses Elder Seeds, so you can keep collecting them and turn them into more Fruits.
Finally cleared my first Merciless Advent stage, the Black Okame one. There's no way I can do it again with a 5 unit limit though, so I' ve got to ask, is not-TF'd Medusa still useful?
You can try, but her tf makes her much more consistent so its a great upgrade
Been hoarding so much cat food I might as well buy more team slots since they're half off today
Surges were a mistake.
What's next? A giant cannon strapped to the enemy base that launches enemy units to the middle of the field?
Good idea
Don't give them ideas.
Zombies already exist though
I miss when OUR base cannon was a field nuke that actually cleared enemies back in Empire of Cats. Now it just knocks them back a little
me too
I have an idea for rework of cat cannon
>base cannon - wave
With level upgrades, increase attack and add 50% weaken to the wave for 10f base level (+10f for each upgrade, up to 300f) and attack (increases 750 per level, up to 26300)
>base cannon - mini wave
It changes into mini-wave attack with drastically increased recharge time (900f) but much lower maximum attack (175 attack at lvl 1, 5260 attack at lvl 30) but has chance to deal savage blow (11% at lvl 1, 40% at lvl 30)
I also have an idea for another base
>piercerspawn
First, it fires surge instead of wave (surge duration increases every five level, from 20f (lvl 1) to 120f (lvl 30) for cannon upgrade and it instantly pierces shield on hit, it also deals lower damage per hit (200 at lvl 1, 6000 at lvl 30), but total damage skyrockets on max level (up to 36000)
Style makes units more resistant to savage blows (at max style units take only 50% of savage blow attack, which still higher than normal but it allows meatshields or attackers to survive Aku Gory spam)
And base of course takes reduced damage from aku (20%)
Lvl 1 and super hypophysaire just ohko ereasers
The frick what ponos injecting in their brains
Sorry bros Cat Cannon is dead, it's all about that extra 15% Cat HP and resistance that the stage is centered around and that you will absolutely need because it's what gives you an edge at winning.
Hope you've been farming your base mats!
>Hope you've been farming your base mats!
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING DON'T RUSH ME IT'S NOT MY FAULT I KEEP GETTING EVERY OTHER MATERIAL DROP BUT WHAT I NEED
also talent orbs but whatever i can be slow with them now that i'm done with pizza
Spinoff game pogo cat is such frustrating piece of shit
I am playing this failure of good game design to get 3 rare tickets but mission is beyond obnoxious (reach 30 m which is huge task, not to mention to do it twice)
Reasons are:
>it is way too easy to undershoot or overshoot your jump, even at slow speed
>every two meters wind bring huge amount of leaves into background, which at higher speeds distracts you and effectively lags the game
>camera keep going up every raised slope, which is utterly fricking annoying and genuinely distracting at higher speeds
>pixes' jump bonus cannot stack, forcing you to take L in situations where two additional jumps would save you
>upgrades have NO impact on how you can make distance progression easier
>ground design has grass on sides above rocky surface that have NO collision, tricking your brain into thinking that you made safe jump when you get run ender
>ad countinues no longer work when I play now, when trying to retry connection game crashes
>absolutely no updates since 2019
>on top of that, levels are randomly generated in most spiteful way possible, with only most annoying shit locations remaining unchanged
>FRICKING SLOPES
This game looks and play fun but it is way TOO demanding for such reward
>inb4 skill issue
I would loved it to be actual skill issue, however, it is clearly not the case
My brain is somewhat affected by two disorders, both that make it difficult for brain to process too much information at once, and that game does not care
I would not rant if AD CONTINUES DID FRICKING WORK
It is such a dick move, dishonest and unfair to boot
I FRICKING WASTED TWO HOURS ON ONE MISSION, FRICK YOU PONOS
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO ANGRY AT THE GAME BEFORE HOLY SHIT
finally managed it, I retract my complaints except fricking slopes, lag and lack of jump control
30 meters is still a chore
My record was 80m
Play with Cat Machine or Gross Cat, their larger hit box makes it much easier to collect the floating items. Smaller units means you may end up making a bad jump just to maintain your combo and end up dying instead
I managed to get all the missions that send stuff to the main game a good few months ago. Kept playing for a while, and as you might expect, the missions kept getting more annoying. I finally stopped when I got the "12 fairies" one, since that's by for the most annoying goal, since it only counts the ones you have on you (if you use one it doesn't count anymore), and if you pick a cat that has any upgrades at all into fruit get, you're just lowering your own chances of getting a fairy because they get replaced by fruit. But I was stuck with nothing else to do on a flight recently and I finally cleared it.
Zombie fricking shits, get weedwhacked.
Yeah.......
I mean, you can' expect a gacha rare to compete with a bear variant, especially a CC unit.
Still, I might be biased because it was my first anti-zombie unit, but Gardener is pretty helpful, it came in clutch for me on several occasions freezing Haka, and the constant hits are always welcome if you have metal fodder scurrying about but have no luck with crits.
Still needs protection though.
I just wished he outranged Gravely so you could stack up on him and kill him way faster when he's on perma-freeze jail
Just met this fricker in ItF ch2. Got my ass handed to me.
I suppose now I'll prioritize evolving Onmyoji cat.
Man, having to deal with both ayys and zombies turned out to be a bigger challenge than I expected.
Reika is a great niche fill for post-Empire Zombies. Which reminds me, I should TF her.
>2 Red short
>Go do Growing Red
>Nothing twice in a row
Bruh.
In terms of anti-zombie Ubers, I have Poseidon and Pumpkin and Skull Rider Vars. Both are sub 20 cuz I'm always low on XP.
Haven't tried using Vars at all yet, but Poseidon couldn't even land a single hit on zombear.
I also have Piledriver and Vaulter supers, but haven't leveled neither of them.
At 360 standing range, Cadaver Bear is a genuine nightmare to deal with.
I just checked for reference, Poseidon has 350 standing range and thus will either always get hit or never hit Cadaver Bear himself.
Skull Vars would actually be decent, despite "knockback aliens" being a downside, he has a healthy 445 standing range and the slow is nice.
I'm not entirely sure who Pumpkin is.
>Piledriver
Mid.
>Vaulter
Level that shit up. She'll be one of your best anti-Zombie units although she will have some troubles with Cadaver Bear if he's alone, since her standing range is only 350, but if there's anything in front of him, she'll be fine, since her attack area is 200-500. Once you start maxing Vaulter/Housewife, you can even use her as a generalist, cause her damage is pretty damn good, despite the sluggish recharge.
Gotcha. I'll focus on Vars then. But I think I better finish ItF ch3 and get Ururun. I unlocked Alcatraz today, almost there!
And Pumkin is a brainfart. I for some reason remembered Vars as "Pumkin Knight", then checked the game and forgot to delete "pumkin".
My Shigong is level 37, my main anti-zombie meatshield.
My best solution for dreadbear is usually to stall him with Shigong after he buries while the rest of my cats destroy the base.
lvl50 Shigong can surive for 5s against a 300% bear which is sometimes even enough for him to get a hit off.
>zombear
>dreadbear
What are those? I can't find enemies with those names in the wiki.
They mean cadaver bear.
Onmyoji "Takes 500 years to attack" Cat isn't going to do shit to that long limbed bastard.
apart from zkill long range ubers, if you have shigong or brainwashed whale they can do a pretty good job of getting through in some situations. there's also the classic anti-zombie strategy of stacking recharge speed up combos and spamming holy cannon, though you'll need a decent level on it and it still might not recharge quick enough for an enemy that pushes as hard as cadaver bear does
I DONT WANT TO DO COTC OUTBREAKS ANYMORE MAN THE FRICKING BEHEMOTHS SUCK
FRICK THIS im just gonna hyper level cats that are affect zombies and behemoths and come back later
Stop crying bro, the wild doges are just at 100%
What are you gonna do when theyre 200% in the next chapter outbreak?
Jump off a bridge
LMFAOOO THEY GIVE WINDY CLOTHES
but when is the 5th form that makes her nude
along with all the other gals
Wait, what? We're getting 4th forms?
13.0 4th forms for ubers. Stock up on your dark catseyes bros
Surely, this time they'll make the dragon emperors good
Also farming even more materials woooooo
Sodom will one shot everything
bruh I just spent 40 dark catseyes
Save up because windy 4th form could do 1.6+ million damage when strengthened
Oh for frick's sake, I should bother reading.
>increase in the maximum number of entry slots
I am.. concerned.
Yeah I don't understand that one, I'm guessing they just mean more loadouts?
I sure hope so.
Cause otherwise we'll getting some unholy bullshit.
Finally, I can bring 6 unit slots worth of combos
And Stages that'll practically require them.
I can tolerate getting a unit to lv50 but lv60 with the dark cateyes doesn't seem very doable for f2p
Even p2w aren't exactly able to buy them at any time
>Even p2w aren't exactly able to buy them at any time
Well, they do drop from 11-pulls.
>on one hand, a promise of shit ton of grinding to even get 4th forms
>on second hand, shitty ubers have one last chance to completely redeem itself
I am conflicted
Rejoice brother. Sodom can finally rise up and truly take the mantle of best girl. This is a blessing
I'm reasonably sure you are the only person here that finds this 'meme' amusing. The comment section of the wiki is also full of morons so you might be in better company over there.
This is so weird, so many units still don't even have a third and they are already working towards 4ths? Well atleast this means there finally wont be useless Uber cats right? R-right?
I'm gonna assume that Fest Ubers will skip true form and go straight to 4th form and all require level 60.
Christ. My two whole dark catseyes should be ample to cover this update right? Frick me man I haven't even tried the Labyrinth yet. Theres so much fricking content and grind introduced over the past 2 years its starting to get really out of hand now. I'm thinking ponos may be actively punishing us for tracking now.
>okay have your unit cheaters
>700 stones to tf
>500 hour catseye grind
I don't even track...
I'm a gacha addict.
Just take your time bro. By the looks of it, it seems like you're going through a slow progress and that's fine. No need to get everything at once, since it's not going to go away like a collab event. Plus I'm sure that pornos will actually make dark catseyes farmable overtime since they're throwing all these features
Just when I think I'm starting to catch up.
>have both Li'l Gau and Nono
Blacks better watch out
13.0 BCJP Update here
https://clamchowder.pythonanywhere.com/static/update.html
Thank god the clam chowder dude's doing these again. It was a pain to put together manually.
Highlights:
>Infernal Tower Floors 41-50
>True Form Uril (he's cracked as shit)
>4th forms for Ubers. Requires Lv. 60
>11th Anniversary (new event gacha unit has 100% slow + surge, and I can't spot the catch)
>New GirlsMons uber
>Nobunaga 4th form
>Reflect Surge
Oh my
>New GirlsMons uber
Damn, I was WAY off.
> Gold Catfruit x1 for Windy
Oh no, it's begun...........
4th Forms look kinda ugly it's just more of the same.
>>True Form Uril (he's cracked as shit)
He gains more range, strong vs, curses, immune to surge, behemoth slayer
AND targets aku. Aku Gory eat your heart out
How do resist up combos work exactly? Wiki says that resist effect is taking 1/4 damage but how does it add up? I assume it normally multipliers the damage by 0.25 and 10% resist bonus removes 0.025 from that so we get 0.225 multiplier.
If so, is there any point in using resist up over unit defense up?
How we feeling on this kit
A very weird unit that's aimed at.. traitless + Aku as a way to chip away at backliners from a safe distance while still supporting the front. The fact her DPS is so grossly split is unfortunate.
4th Forms doesn't mean the game gets easier it means it's about to get even harder.
Underground labrynth is pretty generous with dark catseyes if you're high enough in the 50s to win em
none of the 4th forms look better than the usual suspects of broken ubers
I hope some luga (expect for luffy and shishi, for obv reasons) will get 4th form
Some of them have incredibly fun designs but unfortunately they underperform in the actual gameplay
Papaluga 4th form will actually make it good.
Right now though I really don't get it, if you are going to make 4th forms to make bad Ubers better, why make it require level 60+ a shitton of behemoth stones, people would rather just use Ubers that are good to begin with, unless you make them stupidly broken.
You need to introduce new stuff like that so that the people who've reached the endgame need to farm as well.
Perhaps make decent unit (like Assass and Piccolo) CC skyrocket and become far more usable (for example cutting recharge time in three would be good start, cost down to make them stackable) and give them more knockbacks to not die on single line break
gear 5 luffyluga
God this collab is so shit, the time rewards are so bad it's not even worth going for them.
It would take more of an effort to not get them, honestly. Still, even if the amount of exp is laughable, it's still 240 catfood and 8 Leaderships. Well, you'd need about two Leaderships' worth of Energy to clear this first wave quick, so lets count it as a net gain of six.
>It would take more of an effort to not get them, honestly.
Okay, I've reached the final two stages on the four-crown Alluring Princess and I'd like to revise my statement.
Yeah, I hate how stupidly overbuffed those collab enemies get
Like not only they are aesthetically unpleasing, they also have to be stupidly difficult as well? Touching collab stages is like touching shit to dig up some treasure
12 FRICKING RED STONES FROM CULLING AND STILL ONLY 4 PURPLE STONES NO COURIER I AM LOSING MY MIND
Have you acquired Ururun Wolf yet? Once you do, you unlock Enigma Stages, and one of them will be Hunter's Map - and that's the stage where you can "farm" specific colors of B.Stones.
So what happens if two counter surge units face each other and a surge happens? Do they just keep surging each other until one of them dies?
Can't wait fro all the gifs of ping pong matches overlaid with surge attacks if that's what happens.
I'm thinking it will just be 1 bounce, same as FF reflect spell.
Is anyone else confused as shit about their tracking on this punt collab? My tracks are switching and double switching every fricking roll. I can't map this shit, I know it's going to frick me up.
The Punt banner is filled exclusively with collab units, and there's only three Rares in it, so you literally have a 33% chance of a trackswap with every two rare spots next to each other.
Speaking of, I assume there's gonna be a guaranteed banner at the end of all this?
>there's gonna be a guaranteed banner at the end of all this?
like always with each collab banner that isn't river city ransom
i wish all collab events had only their units, kinda sucks when you get nothing or barely anything from their capsules (i only ended up with wunder in the evangelion one and that was only because of that one's guaranteed banner)
counter-surges don't activate counter-surge sadly
why does the face and its variants all have the "it's over" face?
valkyrie ultra form lets go
Unlockable after clearing chapter 50 of Zero Legends.
Oh god, Ultra Bahamut.
I wouldn't mind ultra-forms for SoL legend units actually. Nyandam, Musashi, and Mecha-Bun could certainly use the glow-up.
I have only two stages left before I finish SoL, and I'm a bit worried about the one that's before Mecha-Bun:
>https://battle-cats.fandom.com/wiki/Unkept_Promises
>10M HP on the base
>No spawns until 200 seconds in
>After that, a frick you wave of overbuffed Doge variants
>800 Energy cost
Am I stressing over nothing? I figure I could put Cool Japan up, as well as the Money Up combo with Roe so I can send A.Baha those few seconds earlier, but what else should I put in? Manic Lion for the speed? Or something cheaper?
yes, just spam ramen and bahamut.
Cool, thanks. Now to just wait for 620 more energy.
Just eat the Leadership, Anon.
Cleared it! Cleared Mecha-Bun as well, and the first stage of UL to get his TF as well. Now I can get all my Legendary Cats up to lvl. 40, but should I? I'm boosting Bahamut for sure, and Hermit as well, especially since his TF targets Relics, who else should I prioritize, and who should I ignore?
Also speaking of TFs, I have four Elder CFs, and wouldn't you know it, four Legendary Cats I can True Form (I'm not counting Mecha-Bun because I don't have ten Epic CFs on me). Should I evolve them all? I figure since I've unlocked Growing Strange now, I can always get more later.
I think the priority is to TF SlapSticks and Mina, then Ururun, then anyone else
Thats what people told me as well, and i ended up not needing any of em for (at least early) UL.
Slapstick in particular is way too expensive for a midranger.
I only use Mina for 4Crown SoL occasionally.
People said the same with MechaBun for Dogumaru for some reason.
Theres no harm in TF-ing them, but unless you already used em pre-TF in SoL you probabyly won't suddenly start using em now. Theres a pic somewhere at the beginning of this thread with what units need (Elder) Fruits.
I ended up doing all four, since I already have Slapstick, the only two other gacha units I own that require Elder Fruits are Delinquent and Saki, and there's two more of them coming up from UR rewards. The problem is, I was so focused on the rare fruits that I didn't notice how many regular ones are needed to do it and now I'm down to low single digits on those as well. So I guess I'm farming those again for the foreseeable future.
But now another question: since I can get most of my units to lvl. 50 now, who should I focus on first? I'm guessing Courier, Pizza, Ramen - the usual suspects, and of course whichever ones I keep using all the time, but who else? And does it make sense to max out Manic Eraser? Or am I at a point where I might as well use vanilla Cat variants?
My priorities were
Special- the lil's i needed for akus, cactus and lil eraser. I have level 50 dark laser, kuwagata and kabuto but i dont really NEED them
Rare- courier, catosaurus. Next up were generalists like shigong ramen and catelite, then specialists like supercat, slime, mushroom, ect. I got them as i needed them, and also cyborg for 4star SOL
Super rare- bullet train, manic lion and manic eraser so you can grind faster. Then slapstick, fishman, cancan, whatever
Uber- your generalists first. Your kalsis, chronoses, siriuses, anything that you can bring to most fights, bonuses for good resistances
So any of these collab troops good?
HMS seems decent like a more expensive Thief Cat/talented CanCan. Don't think there's any other uber with the extra cash trait so she seems like something you could use at the beginning of games to clear the path while making money and not doing too fast
The Rare dinosaur thing is apparently a good anti-black tank. Especially since he's rare, so also 4-crown compliant.
Once we have a healthy amount of Ultra forms, I wonder if Fest units will get TFs.
What THE FRICK
This Mini Boar is fricking bullshit what the frick is this
Your new endgame nightmare alongside wild doges
Hope you've got plenty of wave blocking options
The white ones? Shadow Gao hard counters them if you can manage to hold them back.
Updated for 13.0
>Aku Fruit 45
Frick off
You will get raped Aku Gories and enjoy it
The last fruit stage doesnt even have gories....
The real problem isnt the stage itself, cause its rather easy. It's that it only ever drops seeds so you gotta do it like a hundred times
235 times if you're a lucklet.
Although I guess the monthly gauntlets would cover a few of those.
The last stage doesn't even have Aku Gories.
Instead it has 2 Fallen Bears.
Also, once you've beaten it once, you can just auto it via 2 CPUs, since it isn't locking the reward behind a followup stage.
No you can't. They specifically gated off Aku Fruit from Gold CPU usage for reasons I can't comprehend. There are Catamin stages for Aku Fruit now which is nice I suppose.
Wait.. seriously? What the frick.
Decided to use my tickets without tracking, never again
Oh come on, isn't gacha magic great?
I'm gonna blow my brains out
LESGOO FREE CATNIP
Did you expect them not to run a slots for the anniversary?
Are we getting more princess c**t stages? I did all the ones that are currently available but I'm nowhere near the 50 needed for the catnip challenge
The first stages are only 19 energy or so and you can finish them by summing 1 courier.
Read the ingame notice for the event
Tough Talent to Fiend Cat?
I just want as many Aku units as possible.
you can always hold off on spending until you decide you actually need it to clear a stage. personally, I haven't used fiend all that much because there are plenty of other options for anti aku
Bit of a niche unit, but there are some units it can come in handy against like le'behemoth or death kory/medusa-san
I mean you can still do all that without resist aku, but it makes it much easier to utilize
>make a handpicked team to deal with an Uncanny Legends stage

If a unit is in the sweet spot (590-600 range), a level 30 Phonoa does 30,600 damage every 7.2 seconds. If they're Traited (and it's very likely they are), you're looking at 91,800 or 122,400 depending on their Trait(s), since some don't have Treasure buffs.
A boss like Great Ape Luza has 2.5 million HP, which means Phonoa, with no other damage, could theoretically kill him in 26 attacks. On top of the fact his attacks have insane coverage to clean up other units.
DKasli is similarly nuts, sporting 68,000 damage every 5.8 seconds, spread over 4 hits AND Curse, which can make many stages a lot easier. And because of her Surge reapplying the Curse, it has almost 100% uptime on enemies, even if her damage isn't as intense, she's still insanely good damage-wise and support-wise.
And that's why just like how all the new black enemies are freeze immune to power creep Bomber Cat they're making more and more anti surge enemies now
Sadly, they can't really creep Phono unless they start adding units that can physically move backwards. Like a self-warp.
What if there was a unit that left a permanent Surge on the stage.
Isn't that basically what the mini angel cyclone already does?
25% for a lvl1 minisurge but it also attacks 6 times per second.
Yeah but then they're gone after it dies.
>Never fought a Cadaver Bear before
>Bring Reika to Future1 Outbreak Greenland
>Literally bully the shit out of him because she has like 100 extra standing range
Wew.
Cadaver is fine if you have a zombie killer that outranges it since Shigong walls it no problem
Main issue is the zombie killers in that category are all specific ubers
ay yo when guarantee on that collab banner b***hes
Never
I'll tell you if you ask nicely.
Freshly clered SoL guy again, just cleared my first Growing Strange, got the Alien stage twice, cleared it with not much problem, but then got the Black one, and Razorback remains a problem as he always is, especially when supported by Tackeys. I guess if I want to be able to clear all possible continuation stages I can't have most of my team only target one trait.
Some stages are auto lose or at least pretty high effort depending on the units you bring in. I groan whenever I get the metal or black stages
You either play russian roulette and use a team thats good against one trait or you try to balance it with absolutely busted fest-units.
Courier for red, Bomber for Black, Ramen for Angel, Catasaurus for Metal and something to outrange Zamelle, Prof A. & Winged Pigge (Phono works, Balrog helps against Pigge at least).
You don't necessarily need a z-killer, as long as you have a unit that can slip past Zamelle when its dead.
Plus 2-3 Meatshields so you can at least try to defend against the lil bun buns.
You will still lose the Metal stage 90% of the time unless you have Nanaho.
Some stages are more brutal than others in Growing Strange honestly
>red stage
Unless you have courier, you are going to have bad time
>floating stage
ruthless DPS check stage with pigeons because frick you, you can’t stack here (bring octo)
>black stage
bombercat is must, even then razorback + tackey push extremely fast, pizza is very recommended (wave talent needed)
>angel stage
winged pigge killing your meatshields and cala maria sniping everything else, fun, ramen is required to even survive
>alien stage
turf war with pushing backliners vs your long range attackers, this one is forgiving if your generalists are strong
>metal stage
bullshit
no money, extremely strong metals and critters being useless on every other stage
>zombie stage
only easy stage honestly, zombies present cannot push too much and any anti-zombie attacker crushes them
Overall metal is basically insta loss
Black and angel are very brutal
Alien and red need strong generalists
Floating is pain if you suck at preserving units
Zombie is basically free win
So yeah, the growing strange is filled with schizophrenic difficulty (albeit thank frick for no relic/traitless/aku stages, I would kill myself if they added these)
I remember when Growing Strange was considered the most cancerous thing in the game. That was also the time when starred levels were actually starred and leaderships didn't exist.
My struggle against Growing Strange Continues.
Cleared Red stage, between Courier and Octopus the Shy Boy was a nice source of early money, enough to make the spawned Capy have too much to choke on to be a real danger. Although that might be because it didn't get any crits.
Speaking of crits, I rolled Metal too, and that's where not having any cheap critters bit me in the ass, I was only able to spawn Nanaho right before my base fell. Maybe if I replace my Mushroom Cat with Ramen I'll be able to at least kill the Metal Doges through high frequency attacks.
>aybe if I replace my Mushroom Cat with Ramen I'll be able to at least kill the Metal Doges through high frequency attacks.
Nope, didn't work. Maybe if I spawn Ramen + meatshields as soon as the first Metal Doge spawns instead of waiting for them to get near the base? Or maybe I should switch out my cannon for the Freeze Ray?
Continuing my struggle, got the Angel stage and I can put that one on the list of stages I can clear.
Also replaced my Metal Macho with Green Shell which decreases the mobility of my tank wall, but might be more useful on the Metal stage - it would take 10 more nibbles from metal doges without knockback, and since it has the same range as Ramen, they won't walk in front of it to fight like with Metal Macho. Although since Metal Doges have area attack, they'll probably just damage all of them at the same time.
If nothing else it might hold them off for a while longer, enough for me to spawn Nanaho. But I'll have to wait until next time I get the Metal stage.
>Ragnaroks gets curse immune talent
Heh, the worst status to get as an attack only unit
Really needed an increase attack animation talent though since that 4 seconds keeps making it whiff its attacks
I wouldnt mind if Ragnarok ultra form increased his attack animation even more to the point its Filibuster tier, but gave him ridiculous piercing omni strike range(like ramiel) and a shitton of damage.
That begs the question, what kinda cat crewmate would Ultra Forms add to Iron Legion units?
A cat with a stache, armband and constantly saluting
Would make all cats rank up and add even more cats
>usable Filibuster
kek, splendid idea anon, maybe add 5s freeze to make Filibuster feel like trash
>5 days to finish ItF ch3
Dunno why, but I really want Bomber Cat and don't want to wait another month.
It'll make your life a lot easier, since you'll be able to farm harder EXP stages, which means you can get more units to 30+ and open the potential for actually farming fruits for true forms.

IF THIS IS A FRICKING JOKE THEN I'M NOT LAUGHING PONOS
There's also a 11-draw discount reset on Monday so if you still have it you might want to roll now.
Theres no way they are doing 2 collabs right after each other right?
I can just blast all my CF on the guaranteeds without having to worry about Miku in a week right?
I don't even care about Princess c**t but i could get Diabolosa and Subterra Guardians from this
Who do you guys use more Emperor Cat or Wonder Momoco
Bold to assume most people would have both
I don't have Emperor (and since he's almost 240 spaces away I doubt I'll get him this time), but I use Momoco decently often. Long-lasting CC against three different traits and a guaranteed wave on top of that is a pretty nice set of abilities.
With that said, Emperor looks like a Legend Rare version of Ebisu, and I use that fricker ALL THE TIME.
I dunno about Emperor, he seems like far better nyandam for non-4 crown stages, but with raise of anti-backliner meta in stages, he will have trouble with everything LD/wave/surge, since lack of immunities hurt him very much, I hope TF would make him busted like Lasvoss (I am afraid he would cost a tons of rare shit though)
Momoco on other hand works very well in her niches, as well as having ridiculously long wave, but her iffy attack cycle (strongest hit is last, wave is first) and CC being usable against already heavily powercreeped traits as well as her dogshit survability makes her clunky to use
I would recommend Emperor for both being unique and looking a lot cooler (unless you wanna have cute and funny girl)
I use momoco heaps, not for damage but for the freeze. Damage is just a bonus. Think of her like a hyper bombercat and you cant go wrong. I'll never own emperor because hes an elusive gay.
I use neither very much but momoco more than emperor
he just misses too often for me
I'm surprised no one in the thread has brought this up yet, but there's something new in the event data called "WE ARE THE OUTCATS."
It lasts from 11/20 to 11/24, and it looks like Ponos is just giving away 999 cat food.
I wonder if Ponos heard us b***hing about how the Brainwashed stages still haven't been scheduled yet and are using this to apologize.

>Gold Brick AND 1k on the 20th
Hell yeah, that's the good stuff.
We did it guys they made a Ganker reference
>new ubers means updated platinum banner
>edgy phono is further away
fricking hell. now I gotta spend tickets to get him before the guaranteed banners arrive next week.
Same, except I don't have nearly enough tickets to get to the Dhono spot anyway. And doing guaranteed is my only way of getting the Punt Boat unless I go for spot 77.
I guess I'll survive a while longer without him. With any luck, I'll get him during/after the Miku collab.
I have more than enough tickets but it means I'll have to pull on the PP banner to get some new units. the only problem is that there's so many rare dupes lined up Im gonna be switching tracks every 5 or so pulls, sometimes with the track switches going on for 3-4 consecutive pulls. gotta be careful I don't switch tracks at the wrong place and miss dphono.
Did I beat the game?
No, but you beat a lot of it.
>Freshman Cat Jobs at 3A
FRICKING.
FINALLY.
Wait let me see if I got this right:
So I need hundreds of these things called "Behemoth Stones" if I want to evolve some units, right?
And the only way to get them is these stages that appear for a couple hours everyday, which you can only do once, upon which they dissapear for the next day, giving you 1 or 2 stones a day, correct?
But the stone you get is completely randomized so you might get the ones you need or maybe you get one of the other 4?
Yeah this is moronic.
So which stages should I be doing if I want to maximize the amount of stones of a certain colour and also it being the easiest?
Because also while there's 20 levels in each stage there is practically no different in droprates they just have 20 levels for some reason.
>So which stages should I be doing if I want to maximize the amount of stones of a certain colour and also it being the easiest?
the Hunters Map Enigma stages. They are the only ones that 100% give you the thing you need and the only reliable source of yellow stones.
For Gapra/Ashvini/Jinfore you generally want to, well do the latest one to progress. Otherwise the easiest one after the last intermission stage. Each section (1-4,5-10,11-16,17-19) has different droprates but within each section they are the same regardless of stage.
if you beat ul you unlock hunter's map 4. it's not easy but it drops a shit ton of stones and gems
Yup. Its a fricking joke. If you have an actual life, like work and kids and shit and can't autistically dedicate yourself to collecting stones it will take literally forever.
>If you beat ultra legends
This is terrible advice for people still on cotc etc. How many stages is there exactly from the start of SoL to the end of Ultra Legends? I'm constantly plowing through UL and it feels like it NEVER fricking ends.
Cleared my first Growing Epic stage, something I've been waiting for so long. Got a continuation stage on first try, but lost. Got it again on the third, and knowing better what awaits me, I managed to clear it as well.
Shit, I might TF Lasvoss by the end of the year.
I had three tries on the continuation stage this time and my critter just wouldn't crit, so frick it, replacing it with Nanaho. Hopefully I'll have a chance to try her out before the stage disappears.
>Forest of Gapra Ganglion stage
>all my ubers get one or two shot, even disposable ubers like Balrog and Thunder Jack are a waste of cash
>beat the stage just spamming meatshields and CanCan, Courier, Fishman instead
Eh, I guess that's more F2P friendly I guess
Not looking forward to the other areas
> Try to get bomber cat
>Keep forgetting to login into the game when the time comes
>This has been going on for two years
I just don't care anymore
You can pretend it doesn't exist with the increasing amount of new Black enemies that outrange it or are stop immune. Razorback will always be there to ruin your day though
>Razorback will always be there to ruin your day though
Should I be concerned? I mean, what's the cancer risk associated with this enemy type?
>what's the cancer risk
For trying to take on Razorback without bombercat? Unbelievably high
Black enemies do a frick ton of damage. Razorback attacks really fricking fast and will chew through your line if not frozen.
Razorback is another Bore variant but much MUCH more worse
For starters, it is almost as fast as Doge Dark, with none of backswing to stop him dead in tracks
He is very bulky even at 100% and with 2 KB he can take shit ton of damage before being pushed away
He deals monstrous damage per hit, and factor in it Bore standard DPS, and this monster can and will push scarily fast
Even worse, after first KB (under half of health) he gains 50% boost to attack, resulting in near cyclonic DPS
Basically, you NEED CC to not die against him, with bomber and pizza being your best bets
>it is almost as fast as Doge Dark
It's actually faster, at 36 speed compared to doge dark's 30
If you have Nobunaga, you should be okay.
Good news is, the 22nd is right around the corner. If you want, I can call you a homosexual itt on the day of, as a reminder.
I forgot to ask for the reminder.
Don't tell me you live so far out east that 2PM already came and went.
It's gone. Remind me next month I guess.
Same, fricking hell
>literally had time to access this stage, forgot bc I was XP grinding
The two minutes timing is so harsh
Haven’t played this shit in 4 years. What happened to the save editor?
Shit, with Sphinx added to the regular rotation, the December Uberfest moved the Vanilla Iz I had hopes of getting like 300 spaced further down. I guess the good news is, maybe Dark Phono will move closer next Epicfest.
Also I think I'll start calling him "Daphne", so I go "Jeepers!" once I finally pull him.
Speaking of pulling, there's one Uber spot I might grab after I'm done with the c**t Pollab, so which one sounds better?
>Hades
>Bride Chronos
>Can Clan Heroes
Hades is pretty good as a generic tanker, but even he gets shredded by a lot of the lategame stuff.
Bride Chronos has low uptime and two of her debuffs aren't all that usefull to begin with.
Last i heard, Cat Clan Heroes is contender for worst Uber in the game and definitely the worst dynamite.
i'd go with Hades.
>Last i heard, Cat Clan Heroes is contender for worst Uber in the game and definitely the worst dynamite.
Even with all the rare seeds they require for TF? Unfortunate. I guess I'll go for Hades then, thanks.
I wouldnt go that far and say Cat Clan is among the worst ubers, certainly not as bad as shit like Dioramos(right now) or White Rabbit
It's just more alright, just ok. The main reason I wouldnt touch them though is that the designs for the unit are pretty damn ugly

can you gain crowns in legend quest when clearinf a sol chapter even if the event is already up ?
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. You get crowns from SoL all the time, regardless if there's a Legend Quest going on or not, up to a total of 49*4=196. The amount of usable crowns at the start of LQ is equal to how many SoL chapters you've cleared and it resets every time LQ comes back.
Do the UL crowns not count?
Are you telling theres gonna be a Uncanny Legend Quest at some point that uses those?
UL crowns don't count, no. And the idea of Uncaany Quest is terrifying.
I'm on UL and even though I could probably blast through a couple levels daily there's so fricking many that it's kind of a turn off.
My progression stagnated since getting into UL
I may occasionally beat the latest stage I have access to every month or so but I haven't really touched it much while still playing daily
i honestly blame relics. There is not really much of an incentive to doing UL.
They only thing you get is Units that are only good against more relics, which barely even appear outside of UL.
Doesn't help that most actually new enemies introduced in UL are either just normal unit but relic or complete asscancer like St. Dober and Bore Jr.
Maybe but the main reason I rushed to the end of SoL was to unlock various TFs and increase the level cap. With that done I'm not too excited about trodding through all these puzzle stages again in UL. I actually ended up finishing 4crown SoL with all that spare energy about half a year ago
yeah i'm on my way to Musashi on 4* myself and still only did Dogumaru in UL.
How ass is St dober ?
He gives me the same feelings of "I really dont wanna fight this guy..." that R.Ost gave me in SoL
Bulky as shit, surprisingly swift enough to eat a lot of ground when undisturbed, high DPS with omni that lets him push scarily fast and typing that makes him immune to most counters (angel is surprisingly non powercreeped without ubers)
Oh, did I mention about 33% CHANCE TO GENERATE LEVEL 3 SURGE AHEAD HIS RANGE?
He is actually Dober on serious crack, and exchanging wave for surge is straight up cancer
On topic of cancer, I really hate gobble (my dick) and its toxic forcing you to abandon meatshields and prioritize piercing attackers, random zollow killing your line (no front or back, JUST YOUR LINE), starred aliens in UL being overbuffed, entire existence of Cadavear (tfw cadavear bearcat is bad against it), Koronium forcing moronic strategies, bore jr being another hellspawn peon, ANOTHER FRICKING TACKEY VARIANT (WITH EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE FLAVOUR - AKU - BC FRICK YOU PONOS HATES YOUR GUTS), aku kory and rain D being ascended cancer, zombie capy existence, overall behemoths' presence in last chapters and boss of saga being literal nightmare for everyone unprepared
>tl;dr
As experienced BC player, I hate UL with passion for being basically bs tier difficulty version of SoL with enemies being threat by themselves bc frick synergy I guess
I cannot wait to deal with all of them when I finish crowned sol
My motivation is to at least get Dogumaru so I can get to Hunter's Map 3 and finally start farming Yellow stones.
I haven't cleared a UL subchapter in months now, only 3~4 away from Doron but I honestly can't find the motivation to do it
Dreading the day when they add the UL 4star unit that is completely busted
I'm in exactly the same place and have about the same level of motivation. It just drags on for so bloody long. The run to Doron seems to be a particular slog.

Ponos plays really fast and loose with the XP and Catfood during these events. I'm up almost 1500 CF and 30,000,000 XP in the last six hours. Yet at other times it's a struggle to put together even 2-3 million XP to level up an uber. Upon finishing grateful XP that'll be another 20 million or so... good god.

Is there a list of Gacha Cats that are better off being used for Talent Points?
i dont know about a list, but personally ive never needed

thief, witch, archer, swordsman, stilts or tin cat
>super rare
apple, bath, juliet
all the others ive been glad to have at least once, and you never know if ponos will make them meta with talents or 4th forms down the line so chose wisely
I mean, obviously I'm gonna unlock them just the levels are good enough. Was talking more about dupes to be used as either + levels or Talent Points.
I'm kinda assuming units that are only good as debuffers (slowers, stunners, etc) don't need + levels but I dunno.
The only ones you really shouldn't turn to dust are:
Catasaurus, Cyborg, Ramen, Camera, Shigong, Catellite, CanCan, Swimmer, Pizza, Housewife, Sushi, Kotatsu, Surfer
Questionable/Personal Preference if you use em much:
Wheel, Slapstick, Cutter, Nymph, Mitersaw, Cyberpunk, Matador
Shit like Archer/Swordsman/Fencer are technically stat-based units, but when are you ever going to use em.
Thor is also questionable since he needs +80 to even start to become viable.
Everything else should probably be turned to NP
I always use maxim as a red tank. Hes tough as shit. True I've got him at around 70+ but I think thats really bad advice on that particular unit, especially for 4 star stages where you can't use roe. I often just use maxim instead of roe anyway because I hate his cooldown.
Any unit whose sole purpose is support via debuffs usually has bad stat scaling both in terms of defense and damage (in the Rare/SR category anyway, Ubers are all over the place) and as such isn't worth dumping +Levels into unless you desperately need it for a niche stage situation where it needs to be able to tank a hit and is relatively close to that breakpoint.
So for example, there's no reason to +level on units like Bishop or Apple, cause their bad range paired with meh defenses make them terrible for scaling into later stages.
Should I invest in Riceballs HP and Toxic immunity, or wait until I get another gold fruit for gold brick?
Why is Horrorpotamus 1 already so fricking hard how is this fair
He's just built different
I really hope Zero Legends ends with having to fight all the barons again on even harder stages
I rolled on Uberfest got Summoner Satoru and the Ice Elemental.
Do they see any use?
Non tracker btw
>Satoru
Yes, but not much.
>Ice Elemental
As in Ice Cat or Bliza?
Ice Cat sees very little use nowadays, but is at least usable on certain Red focused stages.
Bliza is actually really good and will serve you well when you start doing Into the Future and Cosmos Zombie stages. She's also good versus Horrorpotamus, the currently active Baron.
satoru's tf is probably one of the best anti-aku ubers out there. he's also excellent against omens max because he keeps the boss away
Considering he doesn't seed track and we still don't know which Uber "Ice Elemental" is, he most likely doesn't have access to Epic Seeds.
The banner is literally called Elemental Pixies.

Are they having a fricking giggle with this shit?
Hope you've got Juvens from the Merc Storia banner, he's a ridiculously strong tank against Angels. As long as he's on your frontline, it doesn't matter what four other units you send out.
Might be a good idea to have Issun Boshi though, with his speed and Angel/Traitless targeting it's like he's made for that map.
How come every time a starred alien comes its either ridiculously weak or strong enough where a single Gregory or Peng completely demolishes everything you got.
There is no inbetween.
finally got edgy phono after 65 rare tickets, 1 platinum, and six track switches on the PP banner.
Welcome to the Freeze Zone, blackies!
I also have Pizza Cat, so um, cheesed to meet you?

Should I +1 Gaia or Muu?
dupe ? NP
What troops do you guys use for princess c**t on the 4 star stages?
Research up (L)+(S) in the first row
Courier, Camera, Lil Eraser, A.Bahamut and Jiangshi or Yulala depending on the stage.
A.Bahamut in particular can oneshot the overbuffed princess c**t.
Sometimes the Worker Start lvl up (M) with Atlantis + Courier instead of the research up (s)
if you're talking about the one that has huge range, she has fast speed, low hp, and only 1 kb, so in a lot of the stages you can stop spawning units to lure her to your base and then rush her down with courier, a baha, etc
Bad Guys Combo, Kyubey Cat Lv50, Ramen Cat Lv50+49 full talents, Nono CC Lv45+2, Jellycat Lv50, Heavy Assault C.A.T. Lv50 full talents, Awakened Mina and Urs Lv50
Plus a Rich Cat
What Legend Rare should I go for? I can get one on my next roll.
which ones do you already have?
Don't have any.
nanaho was my first because frick metal enemies.
Nanaho always gets my vote cause frick metals
Nanaho is definitely a save choice because Metals absolutely suck, but Ushiwakamaru deletes Angel stages from existence and Luminalia does the same for most Aliens. They are all save bets that you definitely won't regret.
How much does the difficulty increase across UL? Don't know how keen I am on powering through 400 tough relic stages.
The earlier stages have the highest magnification increases, then they lower as you get further and further along UL
So like, you'll fight absolutely brutal 200% Sir Rels early on then they'll just be a mild 120% by the end
Personally I felt like it wasn't as steep. Rather than focusing on overbuffing the enemies like what you see at the end of SoL, they add enemies with gimmicks like raynard and red hnah instead.
Oh you mean base UL, not starred
Then yeah earlier stages are only really problematic cause youre gonna be lacking good antiRelic options. Once you start unlocking more of them youre gonna be perfectly fine.
The later chapters do get up to some bullshit, though. Mainly with surge spam, but you do get more anti-surge options nowadays than when the chapters first released. So if you got some of those, they should be manageable too
Holy mother of ass
I don't want to admit how many Leaderships I've dropped on this, but I finally cleared the last Punt stage
Which one?
Laughter Brings Kicks
A well-timed Cancan instagibs her.
How good is Deth-troy-R bros? Thinking of grabbing him from guaranteed since I don't have many other anti zombies. Worth?
Must have based solely on his 2 unit AttackUp-M combo, one of the best in the game
The unit itself is pretty decent, too
If you can deal with the stupidly slow movement speed its pretty good.
One one side, feeding all XP I have to Superfeline is 100% entirely useless.
On the other, he'd reach level 20 so it'd look very cool and It would please my completitionist brain...
Just farm XP bonanza money isnt really a problem in this game anymore. Behemoth stones on the other hand...
What stages are you all currently stuck on?
I'm getting walled by:
Volcano Peril 2 (Performant Thunderclap)
Mount Aku Invasion
Advents here and there
Thinking about getting some Egg true forms before trying again but they take so fricking long.
For me its less of a stuck on and more of a "i can't be fricked doing these rn"
Volcano 11 because frick Hazuku
Top Dog because frick Wanwan, Gobble AND Zapy
Z-Onel because the reward just isn't worth the effort
UL13+ because UL really isn't all that fun
Now i'm just doing event stuff and the occasional metal hippoe/XP/Catfruits
not stuck but i'm holding off doing SOL stages after mina's until i get S talent orbs for the units i want and holding off CoTC until i get lumina, also good since i can work on getting materials for the cannons until i have to worry about ammonite.
Gateway to gapra forest II bc I have nothing to counter giant aku master A
Peril in Volcano I bc my courier is too weak
Burning Sands 5 bc I did not do CotC yet
Tiny Tail cuz I can’t time Bahamut for shit (courier screws this stage, but even then he has to be high leveled to not be KB by three hits from LKDs) but I got frustratingly close to beating it
any 4 crown actual difficult stage that cannot be kekked with courier spam bc I lack rare cats TFs
The worst part? I could’ve easily beat these stages after some grinding
UL stage 5, not because it's hard but because I'm too lazy to do it, I finished all behemoth culling and all 4 crowns SoL and I just don't have it in me to start doing it again, so for now I'm just doing events/colossus gauntlets when they show up.
Let's go. Only have two barons left.
Good show. I managed to go through lvl.15 itemless, but it's already luck-based for me, dependent on my spawning units at the exact right time. So I doubt I'll be able to finish it this time around.
After many, many tries I have to concede defeat on lvl. 17. It's fricking Tackeys that are the biggest problem. Can't even kill one before the other shows up now.
You gonna be a paypig and vote?
I'm fine giving PONOS some shekels this time I guess...
Damn, all three look good enough
Why can’t they implement them all in the game? Somehow they could spam eggs, but funny units are no-go
Maybe they will be in separate updates
I like Sick Cat.
I want trash cat
not spending a dollar but i hope trash cat wins
What do you think any of them will even do? My personal speculation is
>Stealth cat
Probably a dodge tanker like matador or bw cat
>Sick cat
AOE weaken debuffer
>Trash cat
Hard to tell, probably has toxic immune, or maybe we could finally get a unit with the ability to use toxic
Mine:
>Stealth cat
Immune to weaken
>Sick cat
Strong against red
>Trash cat
30% chance to knockback black
Aka completely useless like all event freebies
The unfortunate reality of Ponos' designs
Go ahead and flip a coin to decide if they'll be special or rare
Is Horrorpotamus the hardest colossus gauntlet? The others felt really easy to get to level Max, this one has hyperbuffed tackeys.
yeah its always been the hardest
its a bit easier with jetpack cat now though
It shares the dreaded first place with Omens, as boss is Rain D on asteroids, 400% Tackeys are just UGH, celeboodles and Darks being buffed to the point they are not easy money, and even random croconator stopping you from regaining ground
Omens on other hand are as unfair as Hyppoh, as you MUST utilize that beefy Johnnyleon in order to even deal damage to them consistently, never mind midnite D. being overbuffed nightmare, Gregory being as bad, 300% WILD DOGES (with 200% relic doges just for fun) with also supposed moneybags enemies that are hard to double bounty kill
Oh, did I mention Omens are actual RNG? They can spam surges or never fire one off, drastically reducing what you can actually use on this dreaded stage
Jesus frick. I ain't equipped for this shit.
Just beat Zyclone and save yourself pointless frustration
Or equip frickton of LD/surge/wave attackers that outrange H. Nah while you have epic shitfest dealing with godforsaken metal seal
Those H. Nah are actually not that strong, money is issue though
When I won for first time, I bruteforced through first wave of H. Nah (be careful, there are two waves of them in count of 10 but you have to be incredibly slow to let it happen for second time)
just pulled for chronos hope shes still good
>still good
She is THE best almighty, and considering competition is very strong, it says something
Generally she is Mitama but freeze and multi-hit and yes, she is as OP as it sounds
I thoroughly enjoy teaming her up with momoco.
I got a Dark Catseye out of the Catseye gacha today.
I also got Cat Jobs (the unit) today after 2? years of playing. Feels good.
Is there like a general guide of which cats can be safely turned into NP?
the general rule is any cat whose use is just to apply status can be converted to NP
cats that fight and leverage their stats want the + levels, though some are just bad in general and can be converted too (like bath cat)
Now we're cooking with gas!
Seems comprehensive enough. Thanks.
RIP Big Ounce...
RIP little man. He had a good life and now he is in Ouncetopia in the Sky.
Turn every uber/legend dupe into NP, as even NP stat boost and catseye are much better than measly +levels for how infrequently they drop
As for super rares, the ones that are plain bad or CC based, or have weak stats in general should be turned into NP
Generally what
says is very true, but I also might add brainwashed whale and legs to list as they are extremely good stat based cats (and their TFs are straight up OP) with brainwashed dragon and ufo being BIG maybe, and rest be free to turn into NP, but also I would disagree with fencer, yes, he is wacky to use but his specs can be very good in certain situations, being tanky and cheaper dragon (just DON’T purchase its knockback)
I 100% agree with anon’s statement on rare cats though
>Turn every uber/legend dupe into NP
Please be trolling...
Especially on the Uber part after they just released some 4th forms, which require level 60 (minus +levels) when we still have to deal with relatively few ways to get Dark Catseyes.
And even then, minor stat buffs can make a difference then and again in hard-ass stages.
If it's some dumpster unit you're likely to never use like an Event uber like Mola or most of the Punt units or someone who has been heavily crept out like Ice Cat, it's fine. But in general, that's just such an aggravating idea.
If you only purely by stats, going from 50->51 is only a ~1.8% increase in stats.
If you use it while already at 60, you only get 0.8% instead.
For the 50 NP you could get a 6% increase instead and still have 5 NP left over.
Sure you get to level 60 quicker and get all those Ultra Talents you no longer have the NP for.
For Ultra Forms you need to decide if you want to waste 50 NP to be able to save 2 Dark Catseyes in a couple of years when Ponos decides to give that unit a 4th form.
And for some units, that question is almost guaranteed to be worth it, such as for Demon/Balrog who doesn't even have his 2nd set of Talents yet.
Don't forget in "a couple of years" you can amass a great many dupes. Thousands of Catfood, over a thousand Cat tickets, probably a few hundred Rare tickets.
Even if half of your Cat ticket pulls are non-cat things, that's still over 500 cat units, which is more than 1000 NP while the other 500 pulls will be converted into 100+ Rare tickets on their own for yet more potential NP from all the Rare/SR dupes you'll not actually want.
And personally, I really don't like Labyrinth, so anything that saves me eyes is really good in my book right about now.
So you still have to decide between taking the NP, which are very likely gonna be immediately useful, or use the dupes which may or may not give you a very slight advantage at some point in the future.
You're acting like 1000 NP is a lot when there are 900+ NP worth of Talents on even a single Uber, 1300+ if you count Ultra Talents.
Do what you want, but its still shitty advice to give especially to a newcomer where NP is very hard to come by.
Basically other anon
described my reasoning perfectly (I am anon from ) but there is one more important factor: NP boosted specials/rares/super rares are far more practical and easy to boost, not to mention there are few ubers that are really worth the UT price
Also aside from labyrinth, there is frequent catseye gatcha with low chance of getting dark catseyes, regular barons (lv max though, but if you pine for lvl 60 you should be already able to complete some)
>tl;dr
There is no practical reason for hoarding dupes unless you really want to boost your OP ubers, but there are select few ubers that are truly versatile for every stage, ironically compared to rares/super rares
Frick I meant I am anon from
I will never use my phone for Ganker again, frick that noise interface
Yeah, the interface on mobile is pretty doshit. Even just using the normal browser on mobile is better.
How many dark catseyes is it to go from 50 to 60? 10 or 15?
Unfortunately, 15 catseyes
Yes, from 50 to 55 you only need 5, but for some moronic reason they require you to spend 10 dark catseyes from 55 to 60
They could drop the bullshit for dark catseyes but noooooo, you need to grind some more to even reach the UT (which you need even more grinding)
Fricking hell
I still think dark catseyes are not as painfully slow to farm to full upgrade as NP (levelling to lv 60 uber? Painful. Full talents of said uber, including ultra? Horrible)
Hopefully Ultra Forms will be better motive to leveling some ubers
So far only Dioramos is worth it for being huge tank-sniper-CC chimaera, and excelling at all these three
Windy and Oda are still memes
Does Massive Damage multiply the damage to the shield?
Yes.
>newbie
>look up some guides on Hannya restriction stage
>EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM uses combos with monthly event cats
I hate this.
I don't know why they do this since it's so annoying but a lot of them can be replaced by other combos that you may have, f.e. three kings is completely replaceable by little warriors which takes 1 less slot and is still a defense up (sm)
I'll try that then. My main problem is that my whale is barely leveled and I don't have Lil Whale's TF. Thanks for the help bro.
Finally got Boulder Cat, now how exactly do I use him?
You use him as an invincible meatshield that is guaranteed to hold the frontline for 2s.
You can use it to bait attacks from slow attacking units like the nyandams. You can use it to make Kappy and Hermit miss and not summon Surges/Waves.
You can use it to kill the last non-respawning enemy in a stage before triggering the boss and just wait until your wallet is maxed.
You could just spam it on cooldown for some extra chip damage
Okay, I see his value now.
If you use stacked research up combos with a maxed wallet/worker cat you can create an almost impenetrable wall and be extremely broke for the entire round. Just throw him in your team for the next 20 rounds or so and get a good feel for what he can do and how enemies react to his invisible wall.
And also:
anytime you go up against an enemy with ridiculous Omnistrike damage like say, Luza
You can send rock cat as the attack finishes to stall all the enemies while all your other cats fricking die. Wont lose as much ground like that
Whew, finally attempted grateful xp lv10 and turns out my lineup was able to clear it.
Pretty simple and consistent strategy for anybody still struggling: 4 meatshields, courier, empress chronos, daliasan, dasli, phono, and huntress terun.
>Need 10 Yellow Stones
>I can only obtain them from Jinfore at 24% chance
>Average of one stone every 4 days
>40 days average, if I don't skip days, to get my 10 stone target
This is absolutely moronic.
Just get Hunters Map 4 dude. That way you get at least 1 per day on average.
Its still dumb but at least slightly better.
How on earth do people work out unconventional strategies?
I struggle to approach many of the advent stages because it just seems impossible to hold back a boss with 1,000 range and 30,000 damage.
Beaten SoL and CoTC, but just can't cut it with these advent bosses.
Yet it seems arbitrary, some are total pushovers even without ubers and others never fall below 95%.
Can't even beat wah-wah despite owning around 50 ubers.
I have no idea how to actually improve my game, any advice?
Unironically watch guides.
There are a lot of more subtle mechanics and counters to the game that aren't immediately obvious that can completely change the difficulty of a stage.
Getting the timing right of certain cats, being able to tank extra hits at a certain level, combos, stuff like that. Sometimes it's just pure luck.
Just copy that shit.
I try out stages in bcu first if it looks like they're going to be a b***h
Its really as simple as just figuring out why you are losing and knowing your Units well enough to know what would help.
Like in wahwahs case, you probably keep dying because Wahwah kills all your expensive ubers with his stupid range.
The solution is to use fast, cheap units that can hit him between attacks, like Lion Cat, while letting your Ubers deal with the peons.
Its 90% trial and error, at least if you don't look up the solution right away.
Reading the wiki or UDP or watching people like 7 genuinely helps with just understanding your units and certain matchups.
Stuff like that R.Ost only deals damage every 2 attack cycles is not something you just learn from playing.
I kept dying to March to Death until i pulled out The One-Hit Wonders who managed to stall Daboo long enough for me to get the crits on Metal Seal.
Turns out OHW is really good at killing backliner zombies. And i only tried him out because i was stuck at this dumbass stage for 3 weeks.
man megamoot just suck your soul when playing it
it's not even this hard, it's just that you have to stall for almost max cash to withstand the godamn zombies, 10 times over
t.phono abuser (he fricks the entire boss phase over)
Used to play this 10 years back. Enjoyed it much. Unfortunately lost my game info ages ago.
Recently started playing again. Still enjoyable. I got this unit. Seems pretty good.
Same
I mean, not really, I started playing first like, five years ago, six, seven?
Dunno
But it is legit only mobile game that is enjoyable to play on phone and has unique interface and identity that it feels less like soulless gatcha waifu bait game more like wacky mechanics strategy
I first downloaded cause it looked dumb and I was in my cat phase, stayed because game is legitimately good
Also congrats Anon on getting Sirius, she is Gao but modern and better
