Well, those 750 cans of cat food were pretty worthless. The only super-rare cat I got was the swimmer cat. With this kind of lovely odds like hell I'll ever drop a single cent in this.

Yo Hip Hop Cat is awesome. Cheap as hell, hits like a truck from short-medium range (safely behind wall cats) and has a ton of HP. He's great to deal with any early trash that rushes your base. Also slows down red enemies.
His range is barely better then wall cats, it's not enough to bring him out of range of anything that hits multiple guys. That combined with his really long windup on his attack makes it so that he never actually hits anything but the weak easy guys that you can kill with anything else anyways. Basically you would be better off using a cow or fish cat in any situation where he has use. He's not terrible, he's just not useful against anything difficult.

I leveled kotatsu first because it was my first good cat. However, if I had the choice, I would have done swimmer first. Swimmer is cheaper, refreshes quicker, moves faster, and at level 9 currently, it is able to hold its own in battles with floating enemies.

Yeah, this is a huge problem. If know the ultra-rares are supposed to be, well, ultra-rare but not getting a single super-rare is ridiculous and pretty much insures that a lot of people will get annoyed as gently caress.

I'm a freakin' blur here!
Finally beat 3-48 with a combination of Macho, Wall, Mr., Whale, Dragon, Delinquent, Titan, Valkyrie, and Nekoluga. Lead with Delinquent to take care of the kangaroos, then once the boss comes out spam trash cats as fast as possible. He hits for 10k+ but he only hits one cat at a time, so you can save your heavy hitters from being torn up if you send out a constant stream of Machos and Walls.
If you're not as lucky with rare cats as I am, just use 2-3 trash cats and fill the rest with big hitters. You shouldn't have to use any God abilities unless you're really lacking in upgrades or treasures.

So now I'm 48/48/48 and just getting XP to max Bahamut. He's a beast.

I thought I almost had this mission thanks to a rich cat powerup giving me that boost to get through the starting kangaroos, but when that boss came out he just wrecked my poo poo. :(

Are Wheel/Shaman/Archer and Salarayman cat worth using in general? Do they replace any of the basic cats?

White Cyclone is even more bullshit than black Cyclone. At least I have some cats that deal damage to black. I'm absolutely hosed from trying these stages until I level up everything I have that's good against floating enemies.

So in the battle cats sub-reddit there's an "edited" save file you can use ifunbox to copy/paste over yours and have like 90 million XP and like a million cat food with a gently caress load of cats already rolled and maxed out (to lvl 10, the account is still early on chapter 1)

Anyways I got that on my iPad to try out new cats and see what I should upgrade on my legit game on my iPhone and the one immediate thing I can comment on is:

HOLY loving poo poo phantom thief cat is amazing. The amount of money you make by sending him out first is a complete game changer for the early game. I have him on my main account and had been ignoring him for now while leveling my super rare cats and I was super wrong in doing so.

Updating this thread for the people playing which I guess is just me. Looks like they're doing a "godfest" of such and have Nekoluga at triple chance. I did 10 rolls in my hacked iPad and got him 3 times so maybe the odds aren't entire poo poo for an uber cat this time around.

I'm still playing and working on lvling up anti-floaters. Did 4 tries at the Cat Ticket Chance stage. It is just a chance to get a ticket, but I got 3 out of 4 tries so that's cool and 30 cat food for beating it the first time.

If one of you decide to do this stage, all you need is max Cow cat (no pluses needed). Rhinos, metal or normal, die fast to quick attackers. Hell, you can beat most of the regular stages with just Cow cat.

I've done about 40 rare cat pulls. I've gotten 3 uber super rares and 3 super rares.

Roll a uber rare warlord, basically. Black is such bullshit. Even with Yukimura (massive damage to black and counter-attack) I still fail the 420 stamina XP stage like half the time because the timing against black kangaroos and gorillas needs to be perfect. I'm also at the Squishy Cave levels on stories of legend which appear to be black enemy oriented and those are absolute bullshit too.

Like metal has a gimmick, the black bear has a gimmick, red and floating enemies have a ton of counters but the uber loving rare warlords and one of the uber rare Galaxy gals are the only poo poo that is specifically designed to deal with black mobs.

At this point I'm just trying to figure out a better cat selection. Ideally I want 2-3 cats I spam, 2-3 long range, then 3-4 heavy hitters like Valkyrie and Yukimura.

Also, since there game stores poo poo locally you can use ifunbox or explorer to transfer your save file to another device. I thought I could use this to re-roll but the seed to rolling must be handled differently because you end up rolling the same thing regardless of what I try to change (rolling on different devices, different days, using cat food or beating a stage prior to the roll).

So on the plus side, you can see what you're about to roll so you can save 750 cat food on those special events if they're all going to be poo poo. On the negative side, I have no idea how to reset the seed so I'm not sure if you can avoid whatever it is you're going to roll.

Maybe when the rare cat machine changes?

Oh yeah, that one is fun. The trick here is that all the enemies are at something like 25% of their base strength, so they die much faster than you expect. You get five or six Red Heads first, and then after about fifteen to thirty seconds in the bun bun spawns. It's actually not that hard once you figure out how to get rid of the heads in time, since nothing else spawns with the bun bun teacher to mess up your tank swarm.

To be fair, though, I probably only cleared it as fast as I did because I had the Bath Cat, which has very long range and deals turbo damage to red units.

I just suddenly started getting a "Server communication has failed due to issues in the device time. Please ensure your device time and network communications are correct. (HGT00)" error. Is there anyway to fix this or should I just try reinstalling the game? It wouldn't be a big loss if I had to reinstall since I've only been playing for a few days but it's annoying.

I didn't manipulate the time on my device or anything so I have no idea what may have caused it.
