If you're a beginner wondering "Does Courier work here?" The answer is yes. If you are in the beginning to mid game, the answer is yes 99.99% of the time. Just bring him to every stage, it'll hardly hurt. Trust me.

I got Courier Cat when I was close to finishing SOL (around 6 chapters before Mecha-Bun). I heard that this cat was strong but I didn't really realize how strong until I tried him out. This cat is insanely broken relative to how easy he is to obtain. Elemental Duelist just gets trashed as the 4-Crown Red Buster because of Courier. Even outside of 4-Crowns, this unit just completely wrecks Red stages. PONOS never creates rebalances for cats, instead they just opt for powercreep. Because of this, I fear how they would design the future endgame stages, especially with Behemoth enemies in mind

[@louisschmidt3972]

they only ever changed two cats. Dark lazer had area attack. After she gained talents she got nerfed with single target. And momotaro had permafrezze without talents. Then they changed that. Now we have talents and he permafrezzes again. I agree with you, but I wanted to flex my unlimited knowledge (I googled bevor writing this)

[@Milolaidus]

What's funny too is how courrier made a lot of other cats basically irrelevant like bath cat. There is almost not a single level in the game when you want to use bath over courrier. Maybe Crazed Moneko Moon, and i still did it with courrier anyway. I'm at UL30, i have like 90% of my units true formed even Ubers, and i still didn't got Bath Cat's true form.

[@skyjack1]

@@Milolaidus Isn’t courier countered by that one collab Otta and literally nothing else? Other than that, Bath fails to be as effective as Courier, whether it be rushing Prof. A. or dealing with hordes.

I've obtained courier after the whole ItF and nyandam only only because i wasn't really interested in progrssing further. But even from where i'm now (slowly beating cosmos 2) it's a very strong unit. Thank god i had great experience passing previous chapters and SoL without it

[@edwardhoffenheim3249]

I like courier as a unit because I like stronger gameplay. I rather Ponos increase the thresholds of what units do and to do that they're probably just gonna have to sacrifice the decade old beginner phase. They might even be trying to shift to Uber focused gameplay because the stages they've been releasing like barons don't seem like your supposed to be regularly beating them with regular units.

[@nvapisces7011]

I got courier when the update was released. It was broken even though I was already at late game but it was practically the best solution against behemoths until aku master A is released which is a good enemy that I guess would require the conventional meatshield + ranged attackers to counter them. Courier is basically what you use against behemoths because they made dasli less useful with all those new surge immune enemies

[@TheBestFormOfHumor]

I stopped playing this game for a year after 5-6 years of dedication to it. Since I lost my original account a while back, I decided to restart with the Returner Mode pack. I was a bit worried since before I had heard about some of the struggles that come with buying Returner Mode like low level basics, no gacha units, etc. I looked back at the some of videos on all the updates I missed to see if there was anything new that I could use in early game. You have no idea how many Courier Cat montage videos I saw when looking. I quickly figured out how to get him, and proceeded to grind the hell out of all the Behemoth Culling stages. Took a bit of trouble, but I eventually got him. I never actually watched the montages, so I didn't have a good idea of how strong he actually was. I proceeded to streamroll through ITF chapter 2 and 3 in just a month. This cat is actually insane.

[@fantakolita7578]

Big fan of the jackie chun ost on the background, also when I got courier man he can even be useful in advent stages its insane how ponos is heading into what might be a massive power creep

[@Geology051]

Maybe they should’ve locked behemoth content behind itf 3 completion or something so it doesn’t destroy early game so hard. It still wouldn’t fix the problem with the absolutely busted magnifications on behemoth enemies in the mid to end game though. Honestly they should’ve revised courier when they had the chance, because now any behemoth stage within end to late game in the future will require courier or you’re guaranteed to have no shot at beating the level uberless. I see the only way they could fix this problem is adding another strong anti behemoth, but that would probably just further magnify the huge double edged sword that courier fabricated into existence

I'm here about a month and a half later to say, courier is absolutely busted at level 50. I've been clearing out SoL 3 and 4 crown and UL. Anytime there's a red unit or lesser unit, I opt in to put courier in. He's a monster. He's made more than half of SoL 3/4 crown a cake walk. He absolutely destroys red UL enemies. He's a menace. I have most anti-red units that aren't Ubers/Legends and even if I did have legends/ubers, I'd still opt for Courier. Heck he's had a more permanent place than the Fest Ubers(mainly because he's more spammable). Courier, busted.

[@ericlucas7603]

Should look at it as an opportunity to make more videos. A new guide/strategy series featuring Courier. I went after and obtained Courier to beat Last Gang (Capone's Jail - chapter 19). I think I was done with ItF3 at this point though.

[@CM-dx6xu]

Courier cat is a massive blunder to game balance from Ponos. They just destroyed the progression line of early game because of one sole mistake. One bad thing about Ponos generally is they focus on expanding their content instead of improving. This leads to them balancing a unit by making tougher enemies, making old units relevant by adding a whole new mechanic (talents), and etc. This leads to an explosion in complexity and random variables which can be very hard to control.

I got courier, the god in disguise exposed, around CotC chapter 1, and hadn't even gotten urururururun, and I can say it's still broken. It also is usable in 4-crown, deleting at least 1/3 of 4-crown SoL without much thinking, making you question why Ponos really did this. Was an employee or several on something during the making of courier, or did they make courier for the grand scheme of things? Either way, courier will shape everything. In short term, he will make everything easy. But it comes at the cost of later game becoming true suffering, beyond even courier with the stackability and insane stats, thanks to behemoths already having crazy health, and I am worried to see what is next in terms of behemoths and expanded late game. TL;DR Courier is broken everywhere, deletes a lot of 4-crown, and has insane stats. As you would expect, these traits for ONE cat would make future content a nightmare, beyond current difficulties.

Against reds he is probably the strongest because even if he only get 1 hit off, he can still be recharged quickly.

The majority of ubers are going to be overpowered in the early game, but I strongly recommend holding off on resource dumping into them.
