I appreciate the update on the NP subject. I've been referring to the "ultimate beginner guide", the part concerning the gacha units and their value. Much needed clarification, even if it's more or less clear for everyone.

[@Mudkep_]

Something I also consider when using np on a unit is “can beat the stage I’m stuck on, or future stages, without the talent?” That way I have enough saved NP to get a talent for a cat when I REALLY should talent it. I haven’t had housewife savage blow for the longest time until Aku Realms.

[@marinmizu]

I personally do: Debuffer dupe = NP Good use = Boost Edit: CC to debuffer because people confuse it with collab cats

Hey Lucas, you might not notice this comment but I just wanted to come by and give my thanks for not only making this video but also being an entertaining and helpful member of the Battle Cats community. Battle Cats is fun but there is clearly strategy and knowing how to save and use my NP efficiently is one of them. Thanks for the cool and informative video as always, and stay awesome 😎

[@idnthaveaname5290]

I recommend players to exchange proc units for np like units with slow, freeze, knockback, weaken, etc. What you should keep is units with massive dmg, insane dmg, long range, strong against, strengthen, etc.

[@emiliotanadi7358]

Lol the only exception is ramen, which needs to be boosted and needs hp up talent(attack up if you're nuts with research combo)

[@mr.fearstricker6764]

Funny story about not selling new units. Right at the very start of my gameplay, I got a juliet (and a bunch of others). Now I haven’t even like completed eoc1 yet p sure, and I was like ok. Selling her gives me like, 500k xp. Which is a fuck ton. And all she does is freeze angels which I do not have to worry about. So I sold her. Till today I haven’t gotten a second one. (155 hours in, not the most but yeah). But if I’m going to be honest, it helped a lot in the early game because 500k is a lot and allowed me to level my units up nicely.

[@ozyisgoated]

I manage my NP by selling Debuffers, they are only there to assist croud-control but they aren’t generalists, so I mostly keep Cats for example: Can Can Cat, Pizza Cat, Seafarer Cat etc. and I sell Cats for example: Dread Pirate Catley, iCat, Weedwacker Cat etc. If I get a duplicate Uber I sell it, but I wouldn’t sell a duplicate Legend Rare or Epic/Uberfest exclusive (for the cursedness) Selling Normals and Talent Orbs is a bad idea, since both of them only give you 1 NP so I’drecommend first getting all Normals to +90 If you read everything until arriving here good job

[@jacobosborne7907]

Just unlocked np yesterday, this is super helpfull

[@aruce9]

Generally I go by the same rule for selling by xp If they do not benefit from + levels then sell for np Also if they are at the level limit then sell. I am farming for 11.1 since basics double np given.

[@Tungnon]

I like this guide as it is neutral for pretty much everyone's choices and leave them room to decide. However, despite all of that, I still have one thing to disagree with this. It's about Matador. Although she's a rare unit that provides only 5 NP, that doesn't mean she benefits that much from stat boost. Matador is actually an RNG-based meatshield for aku enemies so it's quite pointless to boost her with +level (I don't mind the cateyes usage though). But yeah it's just my two cents about this. P.S. Whale version chart when Edit: I am aware that matador has a decent hp boost to the point that lv 50 matador can survive a hit from 200% fallen bear but this is actually pointless in aku realm (which is the main domain of aku enemies). But this doesn't change the fact that she's too situational to be used as your main choice (aku in UL are mostly mixed stages so I expect her to feed).

[@ChillholaCh]

I also agree with Tung in this case. Matador mostly relied on Dodge effect and Aku enemy hit pretty hard and mostly kill it in a second anyway. I feel like Boosted her to Lv50 with catseye is enough for her (enough to tank 1 hit from Akkuma in Mexico). I never use her again after Aku Cyclone because she require dream's luck to be OP and other unit can outclassed her anyway. Edit: Bruh Tung just edit the comment and write about Akkuma before me :(

[@LucasIVYT]

The main reason why Matador is with the rest is mainly because of the 5np thing LOL, I am mega biased towards using rares. Besides, I'm not sure what you're expecting but in my head "use a bit" is basically "get it to like +10 max or something" (on an endgame scale), which in that case you're only losing 50np max. That's just around +3 on a SR in comparison. There's also factors of tanking surges from snaches or just stray hits from peons as well, it's hard to say there's a true standard minimum level when the dodges are activated through multiple differentiating peons

[@catsandwich1406]

Wtf, a sponsor?Good job being notice Also didn't you use that emulator in a stream?oh and it turns out bluestacks sucks, so I'll try it out I'm just giving talents to rares and super rares for 4*, I have broken ubers so eh, and of course a couple of the super rare talents

[@jaimeXDgo]

Also about Talent Orbs, if my math isn't wrong, you'd need 36 D lvl to get one S lvl, so if your goal is to cash them in for NP, don't fuse them and sell them if you got D or C lvl Orbs. But if you received a B lvl or above it might be worth to stack and fuse them to exchange them at lvl S.

[@narrihson8747]

Actually it’s still worth fusing up to S rank if you have C rank. D orbs are the most np efficient, followed by S orbs

[@whyamihere0608]

I like how I only get battle cats ads on Lucas’ videos. Nice guide btw

[@DiamondDestroyer-ni4ll]

Before this video, I never considered the fact that some units don't benefit so much from better stats, and just rely on their abilities mostly (for example icat, pirate, etc etc). This video should help me be able to get a lot more NP, so thanks

[@Misteramen]

There should be alternatives for obtaining NP... It feels expensive...

[@LucasIVYT]

I actually really like NP being a scarce thing. Maxing everything out through farming is kinda boring and it gets stale because every player would just have the same thing for everyone, but the scarcity means you need to make a choice, and each player's choices past the main core talents can be different

[@aamirariff9252]

YO LUCAS GOT SPONSORED POGGERS

[@jcol_ON]

Personally I just sell units for NP based on how desperate I am for getting more NP lol. Like if I get a dupe weightlifter cat, but I’m a couple NP away from improving a certain cat unit’s talent, I’ll sell them. But if I have no plans to add a new talent to one of my cats, then I’ll just add whatever stat-based dupes I get to + levels although I still just sell all non stat-based units and uber/potential LR dupes for NP regardless of the situation

[@calebmunkirs9661]

My personal rule for regular rare and super rare units is +10 on their level before exchanging for np. After that if it only serves as cc that's automatically for np, Stat based is mostly a lvl spent, and there is a grey area for cc units that are very impactful like sanzo

[@duelort4856]

I usually make the ones only made for effects (like slow, feeze, weaken etc.) to np and those made for their stats (like resistance, massive damage, etc.).

[@TheHighDerple]

[@TheHighDerple]

I remember back in the day where u can just use any units bcs u could only exchange them for xp or use them, and xp is much easier to get, now u actually have to think about it

[@NorielBenMiel]

In my rules, if the unit is used purely just for CC, sell immediately If it's Cameraman or Ramen, *B O O S T*

[@polishka7529]

My rule is: Tank or DPS unit? -> Boost Proc unit? -> Exchange for NP

[@carygraham4224]

Hello Lucas first off,thanks for your videos they've really helped my kids and I get further in battlecats. Not sure if you'll se this buy I figured I'd ask away ! I have a crapload of talent orbs and I don't really know where to use them . So I was wandering would it be better to sell them for np or should I wait to see if they're more useful down the road? lmk again thanks ps hope to here more commentary in your videos Cary Graham battlecats dad lol

[@LucasIVYT]

Hey glad I could help. If you ask anyone about talent orbs, chances are everyone will instantly say sell them. However I'd argue that the only truly ""useless"" talent orbs are Attack Up orbs because the way they work is janky. I can go more in depth but the TLDR is like Attack: Sell Ability: Use Defense: Keep unless you're desperate for NP

[@felineoccurrence6025]

theres one more way to get np easily... the mattshea way

[@samba1one531]

Thanks for the tips, I wanted to know what to do with extra ubers!

[@SPZ-gv2on]

Honestly I np most of the uber dupes and any of the debuffers, otherwise use all. My rares like gunslinger are +1 but my cameraman and ramen just hit +30 and +29 respectively. I have been playing since launch and I have so many ubers to beat any stage that I can really just spend NP on whatever is fun. I don't need to be optimal with spending so if something fun comes around I get it.

[@justarandomdude.8907]

I personally do it like this: If I have the unit(Duplicate) and I don't plan on using it yet or in the future, NP. If it's a new unit I first research it and if it's bad NP, else Use.

[@MagoDraws]

so that's what the acronym NP stands for (i never actually knew until seeing this video)

[@sergionieto8667]

[@matthewneal1870]

So do Levels and Plus Levels increase the units stats by the same amount? So if there is a huge drop off at level 60 and I have a unit that is 30 +54, he would be level 84 right? So there would be no reason to level him up to level 40 or 50? If true I can save a ton of cateyes lol.
