Overall, I do agree with the list. Just 2 things I want to note: If I recall correctly, if you being BioBone to Relic B, then roe becomes exactly twice the TBA of Relic B, removing most of the timing. You do need to time when it gets KBed or frozen from TBolt though. I have seen a rush strat for Zonel with Cadaver BearCat, so if you bring Cadaver just use research comboes, lure and stack up on the first Star Peng, then you maul the rest of the stage. Edit: I do know cadaver is unlocked after kappy’s revenge, but you may want to delay this otherwise really difficult advent until you beat kappy’s revenge anyway.

Kappys revenge was easy for me since i had dkasli, dark iz and phono. Just used glass cat and tourist cat to keep kappy stuck and got cadaver cat. But it was useless on z-onel even with full cotc 3 treasures since i couldnt kill the aliens as fast is ive wanted.

That thumbnail is fire nice job :)

w thumbnail as always, keep it up!!

Zonel can be cheesed through a combination of bullet train, fishman, Bahamut, green shell, and sniper. Basically sending out bullet train and green shell as soon as Zonel spawns to keep her at the base for Sniper to knock her behind it then send out Bahamut to kill the star peng while spawning more fishmen and green shell. Though said strategy can be very luck based, and a lot can go wrong that instantly ends the run, like mistiming Bahamut, Zonel advancing past the base, etc, and units need to be level 40/50 to succeed. That’s a bit of advice for people who can’t beat that stage the conventional way

I don't even play battle cat's anymore (I got bored of the grind) but these videos are just something I wanna watch for no reason

I remember thinking it was weird I had so much trouble with Z-onel because it was just some random Merciless advent I hadn't really heard much of prior to entering it, so I figured it was just some nothing stage, but seeing how high it placed... it makes more sense now...

Pretty fair list. Only thing I don’t agree with is Z Onel number 1 because I still think the green shell, btrain and Bahamut cheese is fairly easy and would rank it lower. Previously I put Z Onel at 2nd easiest but now that I think about it it’s definitely in the top 5 even with the cheese strategy, probably number 3 for me. I’m not one to judge these stages because I got Uber carried, most notably dasli + dphono in Kappy stage and Pai Pai in Relic bee Also thanks for the dimentio nightmare I’m gonna have tonight lmao

@squidwardlegends2950

3 ай бұрын

The cheese works but its inconsistent due to timing everything and the bullet train needing to not be freezed on the first attack of z-onel which requires restarting immediately when it gets frozen. Relic Bee just needs phono and its already gg. Even if he gets cursed, he can still snipe the backline and you can just keep stalling with roe and stone. I think wanwan might be a bit harder than z-onel but it goes either way

The main difficulty about Papuu is that you have to beat March to Death to access her stage.

7:30 Papuu is the only variant of daboo...

Perfect use of Super Dimentio theme, my favorite Mario villain (right after Bowser)

Also u two are good guys and excellent for making videos

1:47 and now she said "ok... *now do it without A. Bahamut or ubers* " and became the 2nd hardest revenge stage without changing anything

as someone who took like 30 attempts to beat ill be bug pre-mina i am so glad to see it ranked so high (I did have boosted misland tho, pretty sure that just says more about how lacking on sol i was), i was basically rapidly pausing to time courier misland and roe, pretty sure it was no uber too (I don't think i had any uber that would've worked on the stage unless like i somehow was desperate enough to use like d'arktanyan or some crap like that lol)

I remember when i first tried doing Relic Bee and was hatiing on it after a few tries i had my eureka moment and realized the key is to weaken he prof A with sushi and chip it with island and cutter. after that realisation, the level just became an RNG hell for weaken proc which is, IMO, kinda fun to play hahahaha also, i kinda disagree with z-onel being the top 1 cause cadaver stacking just destroy the stage, but i can see why it's top 1 if you don't account for cadaver bear

Theres only 2 advents i havent cleared fully and thats okame and sathan. I havent tried sathan yet but i did try okame tho i was quite weak back then. Should be able to beat them soon with all the units ive gotten these 2 months. The rest ive already cleared by ubercarry or cheesing which is just cool, tho i did compensate on what i lacked by replacing other units and combos and wasting like around 3k cf on power ups. Z-onel cheese was hard due to the inconsistent bullet trains, but other than that, these advents were pretty amazing.

Ok i have a question that has nothing to do with the video, is it worth evolving oda to a fourth form for the world of akus? I don't have much left to do the steps to open the aku world and I am interested in getting anti akus units and 4th form unit and that is oda and I would like to know if it performs quite well for the akus, and also another question I have is if it also Can it work against rashomon and against nyandam aku? your videos are amazing bro and also your thumbnails keep it up👍

Off topic but for the future brutal advents, could you draw Kappy Kawano looksmaxing?

I defeated Doremi even though Bahamut's trick didn't work, because I don't remember what I did wrong, and Doremi attacked several times, leaving the base almost destroyed. But fortunately I brought almighty Balrog who dealt 3 strengthened blows to Doremi and killed him very quickly.

As a former victim of Kappy Jr. who has PTSD because of that stage, I’m really upset that it’s not that difficult anymore, it’s like I wasted all those Rich Cats for PONOS to just add counters to it.

I would like to mention that in the Z onel run a slime manage to land 3 hits

also papuu (and i know what im about to say) can technically just get destroyed by hades and the right supports right? cuz hades has one of THE highest base hp and toxic immune and i think good enough support can kill everything else right?

Oh god, only now I’ve realized that I got ridiculously lucky with mother V, I beat her before I finished Cats of the cosmos chapter 2, I’ve just started going through cutpurse coast, slime has been an absolute homie though, and I guess I was either ridiculously lucky or ridiculously tenacious

Here’s my own ranking based on my experience. Do note that I have some units that could’ve made these stages easier, notably funni demon man(Balrog) and racist bird(Yukimura), or faced certain stages before powercreep. 10. Doremi. Abaha go brrrr. Gotta worry bout base hp tho. 9. Evil Emperor. Easily replenishable melee units are perfect for this stage. 8. Papuu. Ngl she dealt more dmg than I thought. W/o base defense or items the fight could get iffy. 7. Okame. A cool boss with terrible support. Roe can solo stall Okame so the Gory Blacks are the only threat. 6. Queen V. I love the bc community. They calculated that a certain amount off research ups accurately time the Roes with Queen V’s attack. If you get the first Roe the rest should go through. 5. Z-Onel. The DaverBear/Li’l Flying stack strat blitzes the Z-Onels to oblivion. Granted that I used Daver for this but I loved beating Kappy so much that I got him beforehand. Easier than Clionel imo. 4. Kappy Jr. Research Rocc strat turns the stages into rhythm games. The cooldown ain’t perfect so you have to add delays from time to time. Very cool event in general 3. Empress. A-Researcher tf didn’t exist back then and I was coincidentally out of np for the new Li’l cat sp talents so Kai was my only choice for sp. 2. Rashomon. I don’t have Idi yet so ended up doing a cool Research Ramen-Rocc-Courier-Slime Combo to stall and chip Puffington. Ramen tanking ah hit against Satang helped a lot but I think it should usually tank a hit anyway. 1. Wanwan. Fluffing H3LL. Even the powercreep doesn’t help much. Courier tanking the two last hits makes him a bit risky, Sir Rel always bullying my frontline, Crocos sometimes tank too much, and Wanwan mercilessly destroying my base from a distance. This will always be the hardest advent imo.

I'm surprised I'll be bug is that high up. Its the first merciless advent I've done

39:28 has gotta be the most relatable thing in here 😂😂😂

I remember when I first found out about the Doremi cheese and all I thought was “wow, and I thought bakoo was easy”

Death Demom Z-Onel is a massive pain to even fight just because the game spawns TWO of them and even with a level 30 holy blast they're still incredibly difficult to snipe, not to mention those overbuffed zombie peons... Cadaver Bearcat made things far easier but it's still a handful since it's slow.
