[@LucasIVYT]

Out of all the anti-reds in Battle Cats, Courier Cat is definitely one of the anti red units in all of Battle Cats. Some missed things: Units: Souma TF should be unlocked the next time we get Annihilation City collab, which should be soon from the time of writing. Ahirujo/Wild Duche has 5% Savage Blow, which in higher magnif can severely damage erasers or tankers. Combine with LD that can potentially allow enemies to push really far. Scirssorex/Wild Krabbe's Wave Immunity also means it's immune to Cat Cannon. Some custom cannons can work though. Golem Sunfish has a 150 range blindspot (since it's LD) and therefore it's possible to enter its blindspot with Octopus (140 range) Hunter Maps: Aside from the Behemoth Culling stages, one of the ways to farm Behemoth Stones (cubes) are from "Hunter's Map". "Hunter's Map" is essentially an enigma stage, but has multiple stages. There's 3 Hunter's Map currently, Map 1 2 and 3. The tier depends on your Enigma level (how much Story Legends unit you own). You can't get lower tier maps as well. 1-3 will give you Map 1. (Ururun - Mina) 4-5 for Map 2. (Musashi-MechaBun) 6+ for Map 3. (Dogumaru) The chance of getting Hunter is higher than your usual Enigma stages as well.

[@franco-golpeador2435]

Last months??? I think it's a year and a bit since the akus started. But yeah, that was a quite insane rudder stroke but it makes the game more funnier to play also, but not least, we have a new "Cameraman cat" by part of PONOS :D . No seriously, courier is really busted for a non-gacha unit, I changed almost all builds I have Cyborg for Courier, also before you ask: *YES*, I'm on the road of the maniacs and UR almos 4k and I *DON'T* have Cameraman and having something similar it's a godly relief, becuz Cyborg dies fucking fast and cost A LOT so I desperately needed camera or something similar.

[@kartoffel9684]

Something else to note about Catarzan is that it’s available in 4 star, which quite infamously has no good dedicated anti-Alien attacking unit yet. Sure you have Chill but that’s practically melee range, not safe against a lot of Aliens. Catarzan fills that niche, even if it’s not the best at filling it… that or you just use Courier anyways and fuck up the stage because it’s busted as fuck.

Courier is such an anti red unit, I can't even express how anti red it is.

[@fuggycolor]

For the cubist crime remake stage, iirc they changed the brollow spawn to be like 90% and not 99%, meaning you can do a little damage to the base without punishment

[@bazookaman1353]

Imo the emphasis on pseudo-traits might be a way to make a single cat unit have different effects to different traits, for example, if a unit targets red and angel, all of its effects must work on both.

This may sound unpopular, but I honestly think even if killer kept the 2s recharge time along with his new stats he would still be balanced. Why? Simple: He costs 900 to summon That may sound like not that hindering, but if you use cyborg or beefcake, you know how quickly your cash plummets when you spam them and radical cat cost the same amount, so using him as a sub meatshield would still be risky due to his cash draining nature.

i had the Capability to Get Courier But I kept Stalling fpr killer tf until i learned it was Really Good

[@pastrycatsucks]

Rather weird update. My thoughts: Killer Cat true form good. But there goes a dead meme. That yuki event guy with knockback against floating or shit like that true form MAY be useful against Owlbrows. Damn those eggs got true forms faster than someone spoiling some marvel movie. Hainwa seems rather good for No Return Flights 4-Crown but his base HP is way too low to be use other than traitless armies. Courier Cat jus accidentally broke the anti-red out of pure spite. Now he can nearly solo Realm of Carnage if you can deal against R.Ost. Catarzan seems like something for pure-alien stages like Swim Meet and can be useful for other stuff like Into the Future and earlier Cats of the Cosmos. Behemoth/Beast trait: Definitely an interesting set of enemies. The Red Duche seems like a powerful threat if Courier Cat didn't exist. Krabbe is kinda annoying and yet another addition to alien backline. Owl seems like a scrapped advent boss they just remembered and putted in the game. That surge is hella annoying since it somehow happened FIVE times in a row. Basically backline owlbrow. Dark Iz, cool. next. Oh boy time for enemies! J.J. Jackrabbit: Creative name and creative mechanic. Manic island shreds it though. Kinda sad. God of R- I mean, Li'l Doge: WHY DID THEY BRING BACK MIKUDOGE. Sure do love when I don't have any curse units so I have to use curseblast! Golem Sunfish: Pretty interesting in terms of how he attacks for a Jones variant, could be a annoying backline enemy. Also anyone excited for Morning Rush Hour remake with this and Zapy? oh cool beast stones. yay. Li'l Flying Talents: Is PONOS trying to make counters for Oldhorn, Relic Doge and Sir Rel? If they did then it's a shitty one. What the fuck is curse for? Remove the curse of Oldhorn? That dude with Kimono Champs combo: Honestly agree with Lucas here. Random ass combos that feature units every one existed. yay more catamin stages. Forgot Kanna existed but seems kinda good. yeah that's it.

[@Box_of_Octopus]
