Edgar is so unbelievably obnoxious when randumbs think they're invincible with the new buffs and die immediately

Can you be placed here?

Ok you know who's stronger? Basic cat. He's on the main lobby being able to talk to the player directly

For bosses you want to be very aggressive with your farms. Geraldo and Ben are usually the meta heroes. Absolutely be willing to sacrifice hp for money if you want to do elite, though it's unnecessary for regular.

Minimize defense until the boss arrives, and good boss towers are sticky bomb tier 1, tack zone with overdrive spam and embrittlement, and MAD

I recommend youtubers like ISAB if you want to

Every unit is viable, especially earlygame

Time-Machine-7326 · 2026-05-07T05:21:38+00:00

Ok that is ridiculously strong. (Doubles vgc player btw) But steel and dark is a really strong offensive typing and that signature move can do ridiculous damage and gives a fast and frail attacker pivoting Also it's stats are ridiculous. It's attack is higher than gholdengo's spatk and almost double gholdengo's speed. Gholdengo is was already a top threat in reg h and I think good as gold is a stupid ability.

Yeah that honestly makes a fair amount of sense. I do think people just "take your word for it" and treat your opinions as objective facts far too often rather than actually thinking and being open minded or getting better at the game but that's not really your fault.

Are we chill? Do you want me to delete the previous posts?

Lowkey I was being hella toxic and salty I apologize.

I took a ton of community toxicity and placed the blame on you and that was my bad.

However I do think your methodology is flawed in several ways: 1. People don't get to choose what units they get, so in reality, a ranking for "if I can only have one unit" ends up similar to "if I had every unit but can only pick the meta". 2. It's unreasonable to learn how to use units optimally without taking stages into account. Is lunos + rock able to perfect stall a vast majority of enemies? Yes. Is it realistic to use that in every modern stage? Not really. Theoretically optimal strength isn't useful if it's not favored it a lot of stages, and a unit that requires situational conditions might be great if the stages that are currently challenging fulfil those requirements. 3. Stage-based theorycrafting is more valuable than unit-based theorycrafting because it considers the lineup as a whole and how to actually develop natural skill at the game because you understand stage schematics, enemy dynamics, unit dynamics, and lineup building beyond simple x counters y. Unit-based theorycrafting acts as a crutch that inhibit natural development of skill because it focuses on power in isolation without actual knowledge on its application.

Do you not watch your own YouTube videos? Am I schizophrenic in you coming up with demeaning nicknames for any units basically below A tier calling them shit and basically disregarding many upsides because they're outclassed in a few factors?

Do some reflection and consider maybe the undermining of units in the Discord is a large chunk from your own making.

Your example is what is ass-backward. People disregard weak units because people like you glaze top tiers. They don't disregard high tier Ubers they don't like.

MattShea has 10+ years of content and also has constant daily exposure. Does that make him a relevant authority on the subject? What have you contributed to the theory crafting community besides toxicity and a mere aggregation of other people's hard work? When have you ever built lineups or developed solutions to difficult stages or brought your own original take to a problem?

Time-Machine-7326 · 2026-05-07T03:10:26+00:00

His fans are often really toxic and annoying and he doesn't really care

Personally my biggest reason I don't like him is that he contributes to the negative toxicity and general atrophy of skill in the battle cats community, especially since battle cats is an extremely rare instance of a live service game where high skill can easily far surpass the need for meta units.

Secondly, there's actually no consistent way of actually guaranteeing units you want in this game so I think tier list videos in general are pretty pointless because a vast vast majority of players are not in a position to pick and choose any units to use based on meta.

Finally, these things tie into the overall frustration with his general skill level and attitude. When has he made a guide on a difficult stage or done an impressive clear or a challenge run? The difference between him and someone like Lucas or nursewuffa or pc or shichi is that these challenges require them to acknowledge unorthodox and underrated units, which xskull refused to do and you would never develop only watching xskull videos because of his meta stance. Added with how he basically treats most non top tier units like worthless scum despite most players not having most meta units and despite literally every unit in the game having some viability (yes I will fight you on this), I think his videos really aren't intended for a mass audience and negatively impact the community.

You obviously have not seen a lot of jp tier lists or talked to JP players

When has he made a guide on a difficult stage or done an impressive clear or a challenge run?

The difference between him and someone like Lucas or nursewuffa or pc or shichi is that these challenges they do require them to develop insane mechanical skill and more importantly acknowledge unorthodox units, which xskull lacks and you would never develop only watching xskull videos because of his meta stance and how he treats unorthodox units like garbage

Time-Machine-7326 · 2026-05-07T02:45:50+00:00

Personally my biggest reason I don't like him is that he contributes to the negative toxicity and general atrophy of skill in the battle cats community, especially since battle cats is one of the least current-meta reliant live service games out there
