1. 🎮 The Battle Cats 2025: The Arrival of New Characters
· In 2025, many new characters appeared, pursuing diversity within the limitations of 2D defense games.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Lunasha | · The 9th White Vola, appearing with the start of '25 · Only counters 'Ppa's species' but possesses unique abilities like Wave Block, Explosion, Strong, and Stop. · Overwhelming performance against counterable attributes with solid raw stats. · Luna's Black Vola version, with a unique composition including Strong, Attack Down, Explosion, Shield Break, and Wave Reflection from 'Tteonago'. · Higher HP than Luna but shorter range, ambiguous shield chance, and no 'Paimo'. · Can complement each other when used with Luna. · Tier: B |
| Trixie Male Version | · Excels against the worst attributes in history, known as 'Maejomak'. · Melee attack like Trixie, low damage but high attack frequency. · Useful when there are many sleeping enemies/minions rather than high-HP Metal enemies. · Tier: A |
| Kkokkumi | · First revealed in the 100 million download commemorative gacha, a cute variant Uber Rare. · Expensive at 2,100, but usable in practice with a range of 450. · If lucky, can reach high potential with its astral abilities. · Tier: B |
| Pawool | · A White Colossus menace, making a comeback after a long time with the 'Baqui' collaboration. · Appears to be a normal anti-Devil 'Sil Olaounder' character, but has overwhelming base stats. · A single powerful hit that gathers strength provides an unprecedented thrill, surpassing even 'Rabo'. · Tier: S |
| Eva Mass Production Unit | · A 'Pigeon' added with the Evangelion rerun. · Mass-producible with a cooldown of 30 seconds and a cost of 2,700. · White/Angel Stop ability, 410 range, making it a decent crowd control unit against White enemies. · Well-designed as a pure original creation by the Battle Cats team. · Tier: B |
| Kaworu | · New Evangelion Uber Rare, resembling 'Jjajjanami'. · Similar performance to Izanami, making it hard for the variant to be good since the original isn't. · Expect it to shine someday with its Explosion Immunity and 'Pranda' Immunity abilities. · Tier: B |
| Juri | · A new Uber Rare introduced in the Street Fighter rerun. · Possesses long-range crowd control, good stats as a Superlifeform, and Superbeast Slayer. · Highly specialized as an all-rounder attacker against counterable attributes. · Compared to Mami, lacks in damage/range but has crowd control/Slayer/Wave Immunity. · Tier: A |
| Raclass | · Newly appeared as the first regular 12-line unit in 'Gilgeo'. · A DLT (Damage-Tank) with Strong against Floating, Slow crowd control, and Area Attack. · Overwhelming stats, comparable to 'Gwangjeong Gyeongbyeong Rei'. · A character with promising future growth. · Tier: A |

2. 🚀 Existing Characters Buffed by Instinct Release and True Form
· In 2025, existing characters were powerfully re-evaluated and surged in popularity through Instinct Release or True Form evolution.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Crossbow Cat | · The long-awaited True Form has arrived. · Satisfied with direct buffs such as HP, movement speed, Survive, Area Attack, and post-attack delay cancellation. · Instincts are applied as is, also receiving Attack/HP, Curse, and Slow Immunity Instincts. · Weaknesses such as long cooldown, Wave, Surge, and Explosion still remain. · Tier: S |
| Awakened Bahamut Cat | · Instinct Release for Awakened Bahamut Cat, which hadn't received updates for a long time. · Acquired by clearing the tough 'Boot's Great Trial' stage. · Receives guaranteed Wave, Dog Immunity, movement speed, and 'Bonmungok', elevating it beyond 'Haemo Gryphon' level. · Original drawbacks remain, so it's not entirely satisfactory. · Tier: S |
| Cosmo | · True Form strengthens its 'Sangjin' form. · Receives only valuable buffs like 100% Area Wave and 'Pyoheonja' Slayer. · Drawbacks like excessive pre-attack delay and movement speed remain, but it's now usable in practice. · Tier: A |
| Madoka | · A character overshadowed by Mami, surged in popularity with its True Form. · Solved post-attack delay increase, added Zombie/Ancient counter, changed to Super Large, and increased stats. · Pre-attack delay increased slightly, so DPS without Super Large is similar. · Stability is still lacking due to its wide 'Sangak' zone and virtually nerfed HP. · Tier: B |
| Songolmae & Vigler | · Characters openly pushed by PONOS. · Songolmae: Valuable buffs like added Strong with Super Instinct, shortened Surge attack interval. · Currently the top priority for Super Instinct investment, a top-tier fast-attack area character. · Vigler: Received Super-Evolved Slayer, HP buff, etc. with its True Form. · Tier: Songolmae S, Vigler A |
| Thumb Boy | · Transformed into a practical fast-attack dealer with significant buffs to movement speed and attack power in its True Form. · Its single-hit damage surpasses Blanca's. · Quite a blue ocean for Angel and Traitless enemies. · Still has remaining Instincts, so further growth is expected. · Tier: A |
| Kai | · Received only necessary buffs like Anti-Devil, Curse, and HP Up with Super Instinct. · Somewhat covers the absurd existing Instincts. · Can perform well as a good tank against Devils with its already excellent base stats. · Tier: A |
