Fun fact about Filibuster's bossfight: The song actually takes 40 seconds to loop which is exactly the amount of time it takes for Filibuster to attack.

I'd like to mention something, urs's stage, life saving shovels, could be a reference to ururun's stage, the great escaper, as a shovel is a tool often used to escape

It completely flew over my head how Ururun is such a good boss because I took the weird progression route back in the day of doing all of Into the Future first, simply due to the fact the stages took less energy to play than SoL. It was however very cool and funny to watch my newly Awakened Bahamut Cat just bully some middle school girl from the suburbs. Great first impression Bahamut. You're still my favorite legend unit. What's even funnier, is that I did the EXACT SAME THING with Urs, obtaining my second favorite legend unit Idi, before trying Lifesaving Shovel.

If you were to ask me about my favorite boss, it would without a doubt be Bun Bun. Back when the game first released, Bun Bun was the final boss and the apex enemy. Bun Bun required serious dedication to take down from treasure grinding to getting your units to max level. Of course that was 10 years ago but when looking at the scope of Empire of Cats alone, Bun Bun delivers a much different tone compared to The Face and Nyandam. Whereas the former two were rather slow and long, Bun Bun forced you to play fast. Nowadays, Bun Bun is just a drop in the vast ocean that is this game, but Bun Bun is still one of, if not the most important boss in the entire game. Bun Bun is almost impossible if you don't learn one of the core aspects of the game. Meatshielding. Think about how many stages in EoC you could beat without thinking about your Macho or Wall Cats since the enemy spawns were slow and the enemies themselves aren't too threatening, with only One Horn really having a fast attack rate, but their low range makes them rather easy to stall. Bun Bun on the other hand has some strong support, along with being really beefy and hitting hard. Most people may not know this, but you fight Bun Bun at 400%, so he has nearly 400k health and deals 9k damage. If the players doesn't learn how to both grind the previous stages for treasures and levels, as well as meatshielding, then they will basically never get through this level. Also, the reward from this stage being Bahamut Cat is one of the best ways to reward the player for being such a difficult boss. Bahamut is probably one of the most important units over the course of the entire game, even to the end of UL and the fact you get him so early will only make Bun Bun more memorable, as it jams the idea of meatshielding into the core of your head. If you didn't learn that core aspect of the game, then you would never have gotten arguably one of the best units in the game, to the point where most of SoL is balanced around him. TL;DR Bun Bun forces the player how to meatshield, build the patience to grind and rewards Bahamut, who is one of the most important units in the game.

For Filibuster Obstructa, I always hold a high level of love for him. When I first saw Evangelist Cat (the serial, unobtainable in mobile) on the wiki, I thought he was so sick and wanted him badly, even if he was completely unviable. But then, when Obstructa dropped, I was completely floored. Like he has a sick theme, really fun stage, a new sicker design, AND he's obtainable for use? Needless to say he became one of my favorites despite his uselessness and weakness.

I actually like the Cat God fights, cuz how I interpret it is that it’s meant to show your so powerful that even God falls easily. Kind of like Undertale’s Mettaton NEO fight

I think heavenly tower floor 30 is not only the best stage in Battle Cats but one of the best boss fights in games because nothing the stage throws at you feels cheap and every thing you do feels meaningful

I love these kind of videos, especially if its more than 30 minutes.

Could be recency bias but I absolutely love the boss fight against zero luza, the battle feels so intense from start to finish

Luza is my favorite, just a really epic and intimidating fight to end off a long, very challenging saga

For me, fighting Ururun was really underwhelming since I beat ITF 3 before having any crazed cats or ururun, so when I reached her stage. I just beat her without getting pushed back at all.

Chapter 3 empire of cats moon has been, and will always be the single most important stage in the entire game. It sets the stage for how practically the entire game plays out, it gives you access to one of the most important units in the game and it also allows access to catfruits (an extremely important resource).

Thank you for being one of the only BC youtubers who actually talk 🙏

Ngl i believe the face deserved a higher spot. When you first fought it, every single time it would attack, NEXT TO EVERYTHING GETS INSTAKILLED, and the fact that it seemed nigh untouchable compared to everything before hand. Having over 10x the hp of any enemy before it. Then when you first knock it back and realize that it isnt immortal and your hope fills up with each time it gets knocked back. Arguably the face is very intimidating compared to everything else in the battle cats. Oh and ururun totally deserves that second spot. She also signifies a change in the game.

The Idi stage is HANDS DOWN my favorite stage in the entire game. It is an absolutely perfect fight.

I think in theory giga god’s multi hit would allow the enemies push forward but it wasn’t well executed

This was a great video to watch! I’ve played battle cats on and off for years, across 2 save files. It was great to hear bosses I struggled with as a kid explained, as well as see units I haven’t encountered yet. It’s also neat how you talked about stages having different play styles for some stages

The amount of time and effort you put into all these vids is insane. The commentary, editing, etc. is really great.

Beating floor 30 for the first time was one of the most satisfying fight for me. Back when I only have Sakura Matou and Anubis for anti wave

suprised to see ururun so high up, i never really thought of it as a 100% really good boss, just solid, and certainly not as good as mina, who i'd rank at that spot instead of ururun, and inumusha, who (before powercreep) was such a really fun boss

i just really want to say that i really appreciate the effort you put into the videos. can’t believe you’re at 2k subs, you’ve got some of the best and most interesting funny cat game content i see on this platform

My experience with Mina was probably a lot diffirent then most people. I procrastinated on SOL a lot. That's how I beat it: Lineup: biobone, maglev (40), m.lion (30), m.eraser (40), can can (40+3?), zamboney (40). The stage: I spavned 1 m.lion to kill The squirel, then zamboney, and afterwards, i just spawned can cans, couriers, m.erasers with ocasional maglev and zamboney. Couriers LD almost destroyed the base before I killed Mina. I'm not even sure of Jones managed to spawn.

“not every boss is equal” The bc community: *looks at fili*

You should’ve mentioned filibuster cat being a super old unused cat unit. I had been aware of unused filibuster’s existence for years before filibuster was officially added, so seeing him finally added to the game as an entire boss elevated the fight for me and others.

Great vid! My only complaint would be the lack of the ITF mid-bosses. Considering they remained exclusive for a long time (besides im phace), have the same time score rewards as the moons, and are in a weird new stage, I feel like they should count.

This is a bit weird, but a boss I really love (not my favourite, as I never stopped to think who my favourite boss actually is) is spiritual yulala, and the reason for that is the way I like to play the stage. Instead of the usual chipping down the boss and surviving until he's dead, I like to power through with my talented lvl 50 balrog. Unlike the original floor 40, where I just spawn manic mohawk until balrog is powered up, in floor 40 of the infernal tower I have to play the first 30 seconds with extreme precision because I need to clip manic lion through yulala to get rid of the croconator and keep the other peons occupied while balrog slaps the boss to death (what requires precision is not just clipping the manic lion, but setting everything up beforehand). It takes me a bunch of tries each time, but when I pull it off I feel a sense of satisfaction that very few other bosses so far have given me. Also, something that I really like lore-wise is that yulala and ururun are canonically father and daughter (other than having the same attack style, there are subtle references in both of their descriptions), which is a very interesting detail

This is a great analysis of boss stages! But now you gotta do a stories of legend ranking! I'd love to see which chapters you think are best, considering how everyone usually hates the one they didn't have the right units for and all the unique stage gimmicks.

Here when 8.16k subs and 320k views on the video. Seeing a 2 digit sub and view disparity is already nostalgic tbh but it shows how good the video is

Finally finished the video,love this new type of videos,keep going like these

I think the most interesting case of a boss for me would be master uril. On release I really disliked the stage as you would just stack cyber and deadeye while spamming slapstick and pizza and hoping for the best making the overal experience feel pretty sad for what would be the conclusion for heavenly tower. Despite what you said it didn't really feel like a celebration to me, but just a "oh it's done" type of stage. After kaxzerthe1337 started to use different strats for the stage I was motivated to give the stage another shot and uril became one of my favorite bosses afterwards. It felt like I was actually strategizing now and interacting with the boss instead of putting him into slow status jail. Stringing all those bahamut chains together while defending jagando with good inputs to maximise the amount of dmg he delt to uril before he died. What amplified the feeling was my first genuine usage of superfeline instead of smal bits of dmg like slapstick, superfeline dealt more heavy and direct dmg allowing me to more quickly deal with the relic peons. Uril felt like this wall of death constantly approaching which I had to keep back via either raw dmg or status. After the first time beating uril this way I popped on and went "wooh yeaah let's goo". Other then that pretty good list despite not being such a fan of floor 30 anymore I do agree with it's placement as the day he came out still is one of the most memorable experiences I have with this game.

when u were talking about #6 (techer bun bun), you just told my whole life story. I found your chanel from searching for awnsers and u hit the nail in the head with the discription.

Exceptional video! You definitely deserve more support. I really liked that learn to love transition

Raging Bahamut was the reason i got Crazed Tank, because he was too hard for me to beat lmao. He has a special place in my heart

Inferal40 is just no the same experince and difficulty as Heavenly Tower 40. in Heavenly Tower, Yulala was a real challenge when it came out due to a lack of anti-traitless cats, and a few months after Infernal 40 was released, units like Dogumaru, Doron, and Luza quickly powercerpt the stage.

I remember reaching moon chapter 3. I was so scared I went to past chapters for treasures. Not all of them were superior to soon I realized I needed them. I realized around turkey that I need the treasures as superior

Are you by any chance planning on making a similar list for the advent/limited time bosses? I'd love to see how bosses like Daboo, the Crazed Cats, and that one R'ost from River Styx rank up against one another.

While watching video, I was already thinking how I'd put cat god in A tier, but then SS-tier appeared. But I still think that Jagandro is underrated and should be in S tier. It may be somewhat RNG based, because of aku researcher, but in general constant pressure from Jagandro and that you somewhat need to play around its' surge makes battle engaging, exhausting you only at the end of battle which gives you sense of such relieve.

Even as someone who watched some youtube videos 6 years ago, it feels like I understand but need just a little bit more to comprehend the meaning. Very cool video

This was a great video. I think an advent boss version would be pretty cool too.

Thank you for your calming voice, the only KZfaqr that I can listen to when I sleep.

It’s awesome getting to see the start of a new legend series. I can’t wait for zero legends (whatever it’s called) to introduce possibly a new enemy type!

jagando before powercreep makes me want to implode. god that stage was hell. anyways, i love your content! keep up the great work

Wow, a 1h long high quality video. Didn't expect this level of dedication from a small channel like this. Gj mate!

This video is almost obe hoyr but it is so good i felt like it went flying so fast please do more videos like this because they are so good i loved this one especially more than any other of your videos so simple yet so entertaining and well thought out

42:36 actually the background is referencing the lookout from dragon ball :) the whole tower is one big dragon ball reference after all, with hermit referencing korin and uril wearing clothes similar to dende

Even after watching this video for 27th time I still can't resist to watch this video again and again

Good video chap! Edit: Hell yeah #1 is also my favourite in the game

I think idi is my favorite one lol and floor 50 is indeed the best song also I think the main problem with Mecha-Bun testing your crowd-control skill was that the cyclones already did that, by the time you reach Mecha-Bun you probably beat most the cyclones

Cat god isn't trying to kill the cats, he's just testing their might.

Great video! I would love to see you rank Advent stages/cyclone. If you do though, it would be smart to take the "official" rematches into account, it would be more fun that way!

This is my favorite battlecats video, love it

This video made me subscribe to this channel. This is such a big work to do videos like this. Good job. 👍

I like your new style of videos

Floor 30 will be a memory I will always keep. I could not manage to beat him the first time I thought i was ready, my units failing to because they were not leveled enough or me not having the right ones. The other one is where i literally beat the stage a few minutes before it went away. I retried and played the whole night, being unlucky every time, but at the last try, actually winning is such a good reward. The third time was when i just used witchy neneko and won the stage due to ranged wave block and having good ubers

It would have been noice to see Great Ape Luza and Relic Bun Bun placement. They were pretty memorable to me.

such a great video!! very nice analysis and reasoning for the bosses and the editing is appropriately simple but clean (good thing). the only bad thing i can think of is the pronounciatiom (high pri-est mamon??) but other than that very epic video

Bro your videos definitely deserve more suscriebers

Tbh as somebody who just beat the first boss of the game i feel inclined to say that i loved it so much and i think it was an amazing introduction to boss fights

5:43 i just love how the subtitles say cancer the cosmos because it's so true lmao

Can i mention somwthing. This entire videos turned from a tier list to a story telling video dient it. His theories and story ideas makes me think how would an actual battle cats story movie would be

7:30 its a reference to tyr and fenrir in mythology amd how they are connected and what tyr uses

quality content I love Dogu's stage the most, especially on 3*, pretty fun

I think he forgot about relic bun bun

Cool video. Please rank the crazed/manic/l’il cats next, those were some of my favorite stages

For me Teacher bun bun deserves the highest Which may sound weird but Considering how hard the stage used to be, And he will make you understand more about how good meatshields are and have a good statergy And the unit that it drops (bahamut) is so good carrying you in many stages And beating him just feels so satisfying

incredible video!

Nah, I don’t really disagree with anything on this list. Even though I haven’t beaten some of these endgame bosses yet, I still think their placements on this list were valid and deserved. Thanks for making this tier list. I usually don’t enjoy tier list videos, but this was structured in such a way not only to make it interesting but also made room for commentary and discussion on the various mechanics of each boss. This is definitely the best tier list video I’ve ever seen, so again, thanks for dedicating the time to create this

urs was actually one of my favorite bosses because I didnt have idi and didnt know about the cheese so the stage was actually challenging

I love what you do if your content

Jagando is probably my favorite just cuz how dope the music is and how sick the boss looks

I struggled with Cli-One when ItF was released. It was rough bc I wasn't good at SoL at the time, and I struggled with the weaken.

Amazing channel

very nice tier list

18:11 as someone who fought ITF1 right out of eoc3, I will vouch for Cli-One being a decent boss that wasnt a pushover. I never felt like I was in trouble from losing except when Elizabeth 56th spawned, but Cli-One itself still managed to keep a bit of difficulty in keeping up with.

I feel that Cat God 2 is actually quite fun. Rushing him down while using his own abilities to help yourself out makes it feel quite fun, especially since Cat God as a character doesn't take things too seriously (even past his description and the Cat God's messages when you use his miracles, which I'd like to note is missing from Big Bang stages which is a neat touch, Cat God 2 claims to have the trait Cool Dude). It's also the 2nd chapter which is generally the least important chapter. And if you fail to kb Cat God, all your units do get killed by the third attack unlike Cat God 3.

Thanks for the video Battlecats Mossbag.

for me the filbuster fight feels like a farewell to fighting and stuff because ghe music is uplifting (kinda) and its just filbuster abd another enemy with makes it really feel like you killed all the other enemys already so they are sending out the enemys thar were saved for the very last fight (including filbuster) but you were waaay too strong already then they died

I am adoring these analyses, I've always been an analytical person so tearing apart just what makes this game work is super interesting to me. I actually came up with some possible video topics if those would be of interest: The Legend Ends vs Humanity Catified (which is the better penultimate chapter and why it's The Legend Ends) Advent boss ranking How the basic cats (and maybe EoC1 as a whole) teach the player about the game Why Into The Future is the best story saga

Mad respect for this video.

Great Video, but, ehm, where the heck is Relic Bun Bun????? Where would you place him if you didn't forget about him?

i quite liked the urs fight, probably because i didnt cheese and didnt have idi. also life saving shovel is a connection to the great escaper, the stage name that has ururun, playing off of the trope of prisoners escaping with shovels

My favorite boss i have fought so far (up to urs) was definitely mecha bun. It took me so long to do but it felt like such an achievement and it felt so good to finally defeat it. But florr 30 was still definitely a great experience

the classic fighting someone you met at the start

Recentally beat musashi bind and i must say, very fun. Gotta love the back and forth

When I first started I was scared of losing to nyandam so I held off from doing the moon and went to ITF chapter 1 but randomly I decided to fight him and he was actually surprisingly easy in my opinion

The battle with mecha bun was one of my favourites, sure he can get cheesed with necrodancer but every other part of the stage is perfect, the bosses design, the stage design, and the music are all perfect, me personally I wouldn't use necrodancer to cheese the stage because it makes for a much more intense and epic final fight, with the struggle of keeping mecha bun at bay and the epic music playing in the backround makes for in my opinion the perfect final boss of one of the biggest parts of the game

I like how at 23:20 Yulala jumps in time with the music

a little thing i like is that some bosses like raging bahamut will have their boss wave physically shake the screen in order to really catch the player by surprise

42:42 It isn't meant to be a resort background. It's intended to be a dbz reference: the top of Kami's lookout tower. The background is 1 to 1, especially when you realize how much the heavenly tower looks like Kami's tower. That plus the boss' attack is literally a ki blast

Good Video!!!

Hippoe's bossfight was so cool. It was so cool it didn't even appear in the list because we all knew it would be number 1

Im barely into the video but it’s great and gives souptasta old vid vibes (which is a compliment)I wonder if I agree with everything above Doron though ? (I’m at Doron now so I’ll find out later)

A minor nitpick, Spore is not an instant win. I prefer lvl 1 cottonee with sash, Leech Seed, Substitute, Protect and Toxic. This more or less guarantees a victory outside of running out of PP.

I need to go to school now but I'll watch it as soon as I can

How do you get more cat base hp? Besides Otototo corp unless it just goes that high

Just after i beat cli-one which took around 20 min to beat, i saw elemental pixies was on so i rolled my 3 rare capsules and i got gravi and bora which are the 2 best pixies A few days later i tried beating cli-one again with lvl 30 bora and gravi And it took me a mere 3 minutes to do it 🗿

How to beat bun bun: 1. Get every single treasure from Eoc 1, 2 and 3 2. Learn how to meatshield (I use samba+wall) 3. Go to EoC Ch.3 moon 4. Win after a few attempts
