NEW ZL BOSS!! Sage of Mind Soractis!! - Adherence of Virtue (Battle Cats)

​@@therealtwocan3435sage slayer is not as op as behemoth slayer tho

[@amphibiansriseup596]

maybe a bit too difficult. Having to use Cyber + Sniper to beat it is bad stage design. Maybe some kind of new unit that makes it tolerable. Not saying to make Cone 2.0 but for floating, but something to properly hit it without power creeping it like Musashi for Floor 30

I’m pretty sure Yohane did it uberless(ofc he did use a maxed out slow beam base and a boosted gold brick cat tf)

What I like about chillhola is the fact that the boss comes out after the beat drops of songs. It's really perfect. Props for that.

[@funguy3259]

That moment when you boosted your unit too much to the Point where you literally need to nerf it to make a stage hard, What a legend

Windy and octo moment:

[@JorgeCrack5000]

​@@paknro4250 Let's be realist For Soractes we need a CC with +430 and in Special/Rare the only I can think is a future ZL Legend or a unit with Conjure and the spirit CC Soractes and the spirit has Sage Slayer Or if is a Rare probably didn't have +430 range so PONOS give it Resistant but nothing amazing (like tank 3-5 hits) and have Sage Slayer Or a suicide nuker with Massive Damage

[@mrvoidschannel359]

I got both of these units, so I guess I can take a deep breath

[@Eldersh1eld]

17:58 I think PONOS wants us to enjoy the music a bit more(not like we have to fight a 4M health boss)

[@ethiopiop]

surprisingly talented king mola worked really well on this stage, maybe i just got some good rng but that dodge came in clutch

[@Danger-j5t]

I've tried this stage with lvl 50+ 10 units pretty much same strat and I've found two major tips that really helped me 1 is a high lvl iron wall is probably the best cannon for this as it is the only one unaffected by the sage ability and can stall for its full duration and 2 being timing rock and greenshell to defend octopus from the doge darks makes the stage run so much smoother and I've just realized how absurd that'd sound to someone who dosent play this game

Gotta be honest, a boss battle like this only deserves an equal, and tbf, this cyberpunk setup is really tough to pull off - I don't think most people are coming in this late game without Ubers or legends. Here, Babel gets a chance to shine really well.

[@XReill]

Guys I don't want to say anything but I think it's the perfect time PONOS does something about Toxic since now we have Sage trait :)

The foreshadowing on this is impeccable [sage r ost with toxic is in 13.7]

I believe the combos used for the Uber carry are: Land-Air Assault (Manic Flying Cat + Obliterator Diabolosa) Bring it On! (Dodgeball Riki) Dark End to the Holiday (Yaminora + Tourist Cat)

[@jojo._.586]

This man is lightning fast jees.

[@TankieBoi]

Interesting how Cyberpunk + Sniper feels more like a legit strategy here and less like a cheese; you still need time to build them up (of which you could die at any point) and still can't make a single mistake while you have them or it could be over... I never really liked "cat boost check" stages, but hey, this stage is pretty solid despite being one

[@Dagamer2021]

If Soractes was an advent boss, he'd be worthy of the brutal difficulty. That is all I have to say about this boss (Not really but I don't wanna write an essay about this guy)

they should list the difficulty of the final stage as 12 stars cuz this is indeed harder than both brutal advent bosses
