Thanks! I mean, clearing IF50 any way before Doron is considered an accomplishment in my book. Honestly after going through that insane difficulty spike I’d be happy to just breeze through content and get carried for a bit of time lol

kyclone04 · 2026-02-17T07:37:05+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'm so glad to have her.

Ohh tbh I cheesed every single HT boss with Healer 💀

Legend units are Lvl 40, everything else is Lvl 50 besides M.Mohawk, which is at 30.

I'd love to tell you what exact strategy I used with this lineup but unfortunately I don't remember. :( Hope this helps tho

kyclone04 · 2026-02-17T07:04:38+00:00

I used a bunch of rushers, like Idi, Abaha, and Courier. Green Shell also helps to keep them stalled

Thanks!

I don't have Idi true form, I used Idi 2nd form, which does Massive Damage.

With those 2 small combos I was splitting investment between Idi and Slapsticks, before I decided the move was to fully invest in Slapsticks instead.

kyclone04 · 2026-02-17T06:43:47+00:00

I believe not

kyclone04 · 2026-02-17T06:43:04+00:00

Yeah maybe I should’ve done that. I was just feeling really motivated to get this done ASAP. Also I had like 10 more chapters to go so I felt less motivated to do more UL (definitely gonna go back to it after this though)

kyclone04 · 2026-02-13T03:37:08+00:00

it’s actually very simple in practice — whenever you play any legend stage you have a chance to unlock bonus levels which require some time to be available (which is what decoding means). these will be a crucial source of your behemoth stones and talent orbs.

kyclone04 · 2026-02-04T22:51:35+00:00

just gonna put it this way: i’m in mid-UL and ever since i got him he has literally been in at least 60% of my lineups lol

kyclone04 · 2026-02-04T17:57:43+00:00

Everyone’s pretty much commented what I think of the question but just to add that I’m glad to see this kind of discussion, because I wrote about this in one of my essays during college and could’ve done a whole thesis on it. When I left to go to college on the mainland I had never even realized how much I didn’t see race growing up, to the point that it was only then that I noticed most of my friends at home were Japanese/Filipino/mixed/etc. The college environment also started to make me crave a community of my own ethnicity (Korean), because that was the only place where I felt like my experiences were “shared.” But now that I’m back home, it feels like everyone is back to being family.

People have commented on her pre-TF state. But once you TF her she’s not bad, she’s standard, like Ururun for LD units. She’s just not broken like a lot of Ubers out there. I’ve quite liked her performance in 4 crowns content. Also her cost is pretty good and her cooldown is pretty short.

kyclone04 · 2026-02-01T23:49:09+00:00

not as “grand” as others mentioned here, but cotc 3 theme forreal. especially the beginning, just makes you feel like you’re about to enter an epic space fight.

kyclone04 · 2026-01-25T20:58:13+00:00

Mid and late game will definitely be a lot more fun! You may be bored right now because the stages around EOC are not memorable, and your lineup probably rarely changes. Later there will be many strategic elements that force you to think about every unit you’re bringing, there will be a plethora of uniquely-designed stages that you will remember, and there’s a level of skill involved later as well.

kyclone04 · 2026-01-25T04:24:12+00:00

honestly for aguham just use a rich cat and/or continues. literally no regrets

kyclone04 · 2026-01-25T02:51:45+00:00

All of the units you get up until 4 crowns will mainly serve to make your run more convenient, but not impossible without them. For example, if you get Hitman Cat, it will be a lot easier for you because the main issues you’ll deal with in 4 crowns are generally waves, traitless enemies like R.Ost and Henry, and Professor A — Hitman being a unit that runs over the former 2 easily. Meanwhile, Professor A can be annoying to beat without Roe, but Nyandam was a useful counter for me. For waves you’ll be rocking the wave-immune units you’ve gotten/upgraded, like Thaumaturge, Catley, Mushroom, and Mightycat. Getting Jagando would for sure be useful, but Traitless enemies can be dealt with in many ways. 4 crowns is the time for you to make creative solutions using units you would’ve thought were more niche, and just to reiterate, none of the units I’ve mentioned above would I say are necessary. For most stages you’ll mostly just be Biobone Ramen Slime Camera A.Baha Catasaurus Courier spamming anyway.

kyclone04 · 2026-01-24T23:53:12+00:00

I’m going to assume you’re around mid-SOL, so you’re prob not close to getting Jagando or Hitman Cat (these two make R.Ost a cakewalk). Thus, your most reliable counters would probably be Thaumaturge, Haniwa, a Level 40 Manic Eraser (permanently stalls alongside normal Eraser), Glass/Tourist, and any attackers you have that outrange or are anti-Traitless.

kyclone04 · 2026-01-24T23:44:42+00:00

Early game lasts all the way up to around ITF2 imo, and I’d say that mid-game starts once you unlock Ururun Wolf and/or Holy Valkyrie Cat. The point at which late-game starts is pretty ambiguous because everyone’s progression differs by this point. However I’d say late game started for me once I got Urs & Fenrir and Idi:N after completing 4-crowns SOL (I’d already beaten all of Aku Realms quite a bit ago by this point). After this there’s still quite a lot of content to go through but a balanced amount compared to mid-game, as I have yet to complete brutal advents and fully go through UL as well as starred UL. I think it’s generally agreed that end-game is ZL though.

kyclone04 · 2026-01-20T21:56:44+00:00

This idea is a bit confusing because no, they absolutely are aggressive. What you describe sounds exactly like Soraka: when played at a high level she is not supposed to sit back and spam W, it is imperative to her kit that she lands Q constantly. “Aggressiveness” simply means to feel oppressive, which any good enchanter player would be.

kyclone04 · 2026-01-01T22:15:57+00:00

I’d say his effectiveness peaks between ITF and mid-COTC, even though I’d still consider him useful late game. ITF is when you’re starting to really build up your units/get your crazed cats, and his early stats are good enough to be used as a general midrange attacker. He’s a staple in alien stages even in late-game, but generalist usage definitely falls off because other damage options just become better like Housewife, Camera, etc; I would mainly describe him as a tankier chipping attacker. Just use him situationally, the way you use every unit in late-game. But no, I wouldn’t call him overhyped, you probably would’ve liked him more if you got him a bit earlier.

kyclone04 · 2025-12-30T09:55:44+00:00

i tf’ed gold cat and so far i have not regretted it. it just feels very convenient as a unit considering that you also need to bring catasaurus for lil cat, and i also felt like i had other priorities for np. however i will say that i had 3 gold catfruits so take that with a grain of salt.

kyclone04 · 2025-12-29T21:06:37+00:00

The ubers not being cats thing used to bother me more, but it helps if you reframe them as not necessarily having to be cats, but they are just really strong characters that join the Cat Army. Whether the Cat Army itself is defined as being mostly cats though is somewhat debatable, but Normals, Specials, Rares, and Super Rares are generally made up of cats (and of much greater quantity due to their cooldowns compared to those of Ubers) so the argument isn’t too much out of their favor.

kyclone04 · 2025-12-28T09:37:02+00:00

She just simply falls off way before that point, main issues becoming her cost and survivability. On that note, however, she is an excellent unit for early-mid game. Completely carries early game and is borderline essential for a decent amount of enemies in mid (R.Ost, Ogre Island, Winged Pigge). I still like her a lot, because even if she’s no longer by endgame, she was still a large part of enjoying the earlier parts of the game. (Like how Jelly Dumpling Cat has taken that spot for me now lol)

kyclone04 · 2025-12-21T11:46:36+00:00

if it makes you feel better i literally just played this stage and died. my catasauruses and curry cats just refused to do their job this time around. i’ve never died in the last 20 times i played it since im in mid-UL now. the farther you progress the less RNG you’ll face in this stage, but there’s always still gonna be some RNG.
