Worst part: Behemoth enemies are not behemoths by definition (i.e large or monstrous).
Ehh tbh the only one i can think of that isn’t monstrous (as far as i can remember) is the doge version. The duches, pterowl (?) and the hermit are pretty large and slightly monstrous compared to their normal counterparts
@@ber093 Zant is literally just an ant, he didn't even need behemoth
@@Spoopmode he is quite large thoigh 🤤
@@Spoopmode yeah thats true. probably the only enemy that didn't need behemoth
On one hand some of behemoths are definitely a bigger counterpart of existing enemies, but on the other hand it definitely could've been larger xd
battle cats fans after getting a total of 1 good unit and acting like everything else in the updates is justified
after 12.0 ponor started balancing the eggs more ngl
What I hate the most is that, as you said, the only way to *farm* behemoth stones is through *unfarmable* stages. Ever since they introduced barons, ponos has been adding a lot of "Don't play our game" mechanics (30 minutes cooldown on gauntlet maps, stages that can be played only once a day, the whole "wait until a stage is available" thing in aku realms). I think the legendary bug net event last summer was the peak of this tendency, since you had to do a gauntlet map that would give you enigma maps, aka double waiting. Ngl, I've never seen a video game company discourage players from literally just playing their own game lmao
Edit: oh yeah lol, I could I forget the primordial "don't play" mechanic: the cat energy
This is the reason I haven't been playing as much recently. It's really mind-boggling to me why they would do all this because if I could just grind once or twice for stones for like an hour per unit I would be fine with that. I'm not going to schedule 5 minutes for a stage every few hours for a week just for it. It's so weird
Plus energy, once a player uses all their energy, they have to use 30 cat food or a leadership
@@webcherries7660 Well too bad, the collab going on rn is giving a shit load of leaders, besides that has been a mechanic in Battle Cats for a loooooong time, take it or leave it tbh
@@ThatOneCatGamePlayer bro i know i have gotten like 30 leadership’s from the collab, it is just annoying when you try to farm catfruit stages that cost 200 energy with my max cap at 630 energy using a lot of energy, especially when trying to catfruit tf a unit
@@webcherries7660 Dude, dont you know that using a leader on a growing stage is really one of the best usages for leaders, since you can farm it more, are you saying that you want the Energy mechanic to be completely removed just because you are a total cheapstake?
Behemoth and Aku felt a little weird in how the two have pretty sizable 'ecosystems', and all these ubers and units, but those feel isolated from the rest of the game like some sort of side quest. Aku has decent prominence in UL at least, but Behemoth enemies exist in an isolated sphere, where you spend all this time farming for very Behemoth-specific (discounting cases like Courier and Mushroom) cats to use to... farm more Behemoth stones. Always felt off to me.
And yet Aku has been absolutely one of the coolest trait ever while Behemoth is the exact opposite
@@LucasIVYT i'm pretty sure that the reason Aku enemies work is because, when you think about it, they were a big new trait when first introduced about a year ago; it was a breath of fresh air to find this new trait, and PONOS managed to give it huge momentum with the Aku Realms, anti-aku ubers and talents and even two new advent bosses dedicated to them. Behemoth still has nothing of that, and if ponos keeps it that way, it's not even one of the worse traits; it becomes an OPTIONAL challenge: while the egg units are cool, they could have been a reward from the aku realms from time to time, like how eoc 1 unlocks the 9 basic cats to the player, instead of being ties to a trait that while is still "new", it has little to no content.
atleast behemoth is in ul and l0
Ponos: *adds new farmable material*
Also Ponos: "LETS ADD THIS TO ALL NEW TRUE FORM REQUIREMENTS!!!"
The 103847 other farmable materials that they only used for 3 cats: *rotting away in my inventory*
I have 10 Fucking Elder Catfruits that have been rotting in my storage
🤣🤣🤣 yeah once you true form your sol legends elder catfruit is worthless. I think catman requires elder catfruit to true form but I don’t even have him

@@voidgamer7122waste
@@appalacha7278the only exceptions are gold and metal cat :)
I'm pretty sure there's lore connections to be made with the primitive-like behemoths and eggs, though Ponos was definitely baked like a potato when they brainstormed this update.
I love listening to Lucas ramble, him mildly malding over the b.stones made my day.
Baked Pono-tato
The eggs should have all evolved into roosters. Different breeds of rooster. Would have been so cool. Every backyard chicken farmer would have started playing battle cats.
One thing I find funny is that battle cats tw also calls behemoth enemies “超兽”(Ultra beasts),so BCEN is the only one out of the 3 to get their translations wrong lmao
Me when the duche kills my 75 cent meat shield and processes to gain a 50% attack boost sweeping my entire team
courier is like "just use dasli" except everyone have courier,and courier is requirement for clearing a certain stage
That's actually a great comparison LOL
like bahamut tf
@@applesyrupgaming i remeber when i never used him due to darktan (now im forced to use him cuz acc got deleted)
The worst part is them calling them behemoths, behemoths are a synonym of colossal its really annoying and stupid and it makes no sense as to why they are called behemoths it really grinds my gears I hate I hate I hate
I had this idea: each egg is labeled as N00x or N20x, so depending on the starting number the unit is based on a specific era, N00x could be from ancient civilizations, N20x could be 1700s themed cats. Just an idea.
Currently the label is based off how you obtain the units which i think is good enough but that could be cool too
i like how ponos decided to make a whole ass new material to farm
meanwhile elder catfruits havent been used for anything in 600 years
Ponos: I forgor 💀
Gold cat fruit. Just dead
I want Behemoth Killers because I like to destroy them, but I also want Behemoth Debuffer to all the debuffers, an ability that makes them able to ignore the immunities of Behemoths and triple the duration of the effects
Maybe, if it has immune vs that effect, it's halfed*, and if it's behemoth and target trait, the effect doubles* (if it's immune vs the effect, but it's target trait, then it's normal*) (* = duration)
It is pretty shitty that any egg unit is either extremely broken (courier and mushroom) or pretty much useless. SuperCar is probably the most balanced one just because he is hard to use, but has broken ability.
Cactus is useful but he doesn’t even have behemoth killer ability wth. Still a good cat
@@Robert96902 yeah why have an egg unit without behemoth killer, isnt behemoth killer the whole point of the egg units??? also having behemoth killer would help at least a bit against aku sloth cause dodge
@@twoheadedgiantgaming7029 it's really to prevent cactus from becoming God against aku because if a unit has an ability like resistant, etc it will also be multiplied by behemoth slayer which will make cactus broken against folivorean
And he can possibly outclass haniwa in terms of behemoth meatshield against behemoth doge tho idk if the behemoth slayer is enough to make him tank 200% doge
@@Robert96902 talents
I honestly think courier is very well designed, but he's made way to powerful. The aspect I like about courier is that he isn't this "only work against one enemy cookie cutter unit" he's useable throughout a lot of areas in the game. He's one of the things that felt like a breath of fresh air in a long recent time. I think a type of unit that actually got designed correctly in comparison to courier is mushroom. Shroom isn't there to just get rid of rajakong he's also really good against some more melee type based angels like angel gory, gabriel, boraphim and most notably youcan considering he's got wave immune as well outside of the angel and behemoth niche he's also a fine stackable ranged wave immune attacker. Now this already sounds really powerful as well, but in comparison to courier this guy is locked in the deepest parts of the desert, jungle and volcano while courier is most likely your first egg unit while being cheap cost as well. An example of one of the worst cookie cutter type units I have seen has got to be the surgeon. He's suposed to work against one enemy being pterowl, but even then when using him it feels like there's no difference when you bring him to a stage with pterowl. Outside of that the surgeon is completely helpless no stats to provide anything to the table in terms of offense while a majority of the other anti floating options are easier to use and easier to obtain.
Best Take
I genuinely think if courier doesnt have Massive vs Red he'd be PERFECT. That massive vs red is hella excessive.
@@LucasIVYT well the stages he "breaks" with massive arent really relevant
@@LucasIVYT courier has the best LD in the game
thought experiment
imagine a red snake was coming at the start so you spawn courier to kill it the snake dies cause courier is fast but later in the level they spawn a more buffed one that survives a hit so the snake is in the blindspot then you spawn an extra courier that uses the one from earlier as a stepping stone to hit the snake.
Yes, shroom and courier can be used outside of their main counters. But I don't like that if the stage has that enemy, you NEED to bring one. Lile how a chat member said, bomber and razorback.
I think a really big problem comes about when behemoths like Hazuku release without an easily accessible counter yet get insane stats anyways. Surgeon didn’t come out until the update after Hazuku was introduced and while Killer Cat got a true form to deal with it, you were just out of luck without him (if Hazuku stages weren’t so easy to rush). Because Surgeon is bad, Hazuku is basically just an instant loss if it’s supported by any huge threat and you don’t have Radical. Scissorex has this issue too but at least Seafarer can Freeze it and Courier is just broken.
A way I think would really fix Behemoth balancing and make the eggs better overall is if Behemoth Slayer was split in 2: Behemoth Slayer and Behemoth Tamer. Behemoth Slayer keeps its damage benefits but loses some defensive capability and the Dodge ability. Behemoth Tamer gives a stronger defensive effect than current Behemoth Slayer and allows units to bypass Behemoth immunities but has no offensive effect. Basically make them weaker versions of Massive Damage and Resist.
I really like the idea of behemoth tamer
Here's the real question:
WHY DID THEY MAKE CHICKFUL B IMMUNE TO SLOW IF THEY WANT YOU TO USE GELATO BROS AGAINST IT
That limit on how a unit can be "redeemed" is also in effect for the Lugas, because not only are their first forms useless, Ponos has not given a single Luga talents in an update since the one that introduced talents. I mean, it's been four years, Ponos. Give us a talent for a Luga that was released before talents!
Ultralan, Lufalan and Assassinlan have talents
@@moopymeebloopy456 I said "since the update"
didn't luffy get talents like a few months ago? or am I in psychosis and I need to wake up
@@icyflares i believe that was in version 8.0 with the other lugas (although i'm not sure and can't check rn)
@@kevvy-bobevvy556 just checked and luffy got talents in 10.7. further curiosity led me to find out ultralan got talents in 8.3 and assassinlan got them in 8.10. so talented lugas do happen, just not very often
Ragin Gory is not annoying. Just don’t use bomber cat.
Ahirujo is not that annoying. Courier can destroy them.
Scissorex is a really annoying. Why does Catarzan suck.
Hazuku is super annoying. This enemy needs a nerf. Also don’t comment, “But fisherman can destroy it”
Darkjo is a bit annoying and gas mask can destroy this enemy.
FOLIVOREAN is not strong if it’s normal. If this is buffed, it’s absolute hell.
Ariant: If I have zombie bear, it’s a joke. But I don’t have it; annoying.
Rajakong: I need mushroom cat. Otherwise it’s impossible. Also f the 10 restriction stage to get Cat Cactus. Also why do I get Mushroom after clearing Lava Caves stage 10?
Gallus: Peons are much more this annoying. I even cleared Aku Realms. So I don’t want duck cat.
Naala: Idk? I haven’t fought yet? Trying to get Urus.
And finally……
Wild Doge: WTF Ponos.
I think it would have been cool if depending on what it targeted it had a specific theme. So like all anti black would be like military themed and anti alien would be jungle themed
A thing that I believe would fix all of this: If a unit has behemoth killer, then if it has an extra cc ability, behemoths will also be affected, along with the extra damage/resistance. That way, they can keep their behemoth subtrait thing, and SO many more egg units would be viable.
Behemoths are kind of just existing to be honest, just junior barons that are slightly easier to kill...
ALSO WHY THE FUCK ARE YELLOW BEHEMOTH STONES SO DIFFICULT TO GET
I know, hadn’t even started UL but had to grind my way up until dogumaru, beat the level to unlock hunter’s map 3 and found out you can only get 1 yellow stone each time 😠 I was furious
Courier would be fine.... if only it has Yellow Bstones as TF cost.
Be able to get courier too early destroys the balance of early game. It would be fine if you get courier post dogu as courier wouldn't be able to break UL much as it breaks SoL.
I am glad Mushroom and Supercar are much harder to obtain.
I think it's fine to get courier quickly as an anti-behemoth measure, however I think that massive vs red is super excessive. Ahirujo literally does not exist anymore and he'd still be plenty strong without the ability.
If there's a new saga after UL, hopefully behemoths are just an extra and not the main thing, that would be pretty sad
On the other hand, to be honest, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the UL sequel is Behemoth-focused. They’re building this up a bit too much for it to be exclusive to its own "ecosystem", especially considering that the 47th UL chapter introduced Wild Doge into the non-event stages when previously he was only part of the Culling/Excavation stages.
No way... 12.0 update
Coming from the future, uuhhhhhhhhhhhh... Yeah new saga is far, far worse than just having behemoths.
It's both hilarious and sad how ponos was able to make a whole new farming material more rng dependant(and arguably more bs depending on the units you have) than elder cat fruits. Literally everything about them is completely rng dependant, even the only reliable way of farming them which is Hunter's map is also rng because it's a fucking enigma stage. Seriously, ponos is adding features that doesn't want us to play the game : the gauntlets having cd, the behemoth stages that appears once a day for a couple of hours and only playable once,the enigma stages , the empress excavation with the same problem as the behemoth stages(in this case is not that bad because it doesn't require so many clears) and the fact that we need to do them to obtain "FARMING" material is complete bs.
TL. DR : why did ponos think that adding a new farming material which can only be obtained in limited stages and random enigma stages was a good idea?
The gauntlets having cooldown is one I really hate, like wth does it need a cooldown if you only get the rewards once?
@@Robert96902 used to only play once instead of a 3 cap
I feel like behemoth cats are just going to be new meta that most people need to grind. While I feel like having the behemoth stones turn into cat fruit may be a bit too powerful for early game (imagine someone having courier before itf), I do understand that the stones are annoying to grind and even then have late game restrictions for people who just wanna use another unit to beat a stage.(almost no shield breakers but can’t get supercar) I find that the best solution would be to alter behemoth stones so that the range between good units aren’t immediately available, but also not too restricting. It’s quite a balancing act, but to grind UL up to dogmaru just to beat some stages in aku realms is pain. So either make behemoth stones into something that requires around the completion of SOL( because let’s be honest, grinding SOL is just a chore) or to make eggs less restricting on players who should have already completed most of the game. Also make behemoth a trait because it is stupid to have trait with tanking stats then get ruined by a second behemoth of a different typing
"imagine someone having courier before itf"
But u can get it before itf tho
Fun facts: you can ger courier very early if you grind enough (and it's not even that bad), i got him in my alt account mid way through itf 1
Behemoths just kinda exist, they don’t really add anything to the rest of the game besides having special stages. Ponos kind of hyped up this trait update after update, but they’re more of a neat enemy you only fight against a couple of times and that’s it. Sure they make an OCCASIONAL appearance in UL, but only way late into UL to the point that only a small margin of players gets to see them outside of behemoth culling. You get all these egg units to counter behemoths, but then once you’re done farming behemoths, there’s barely any behemoths left in the game to face, so the egg units feel less special at that point imo
courier and cancan on their way to be put in every lineup
(please let use other cats please help)
imo i think ponos likes to make a specific counter for a specific scenarios that will be used like 1-2 times in your lifespan and then theres cancan
Difference in my eyes is that CanCan is one of the best balanced units in the game while Courier is just broken beyond belief
Imagine if they made an edit of the “this dog is fucked up bruh” but with wild doge
It exist
Lucas already did that
@@TheDuckyDino that may be the joke
i hate how ponos literally missed their chance to make the egg units a MH refence (but you can argue they didn't because of some copyright bs) even tho MOST OF THE BEHEMOTH ENEMIES ARE A MH REFENCE IT'S SOOO STUPID
Behemoth feels like a rushed sub-typing. Was on the verge of greatness, but ended up falling flat super quickly. I will say though, I like Kanna TF being able to eviscerate ragin' gory, very much fun.
But behemoth enemies are like, the worst...especially 200% wild doges; at the very least 200% relic doges don't one shot erasers while those things do; makes for a very unfun experience later on in the game.
I love some of the designs of the egg tfs, and duck is fucking hilarious...but for it to be as insanely pricey as is, in addition to Cat Cactus being as expensive as it is, makes for a lot of pointless farming of stages that either come once a day, or after 3 hours of waiting just for a chance at it. Pretty bullshit if I do say so myself.
Also don't get me fucking started on Raja Kong, that thing is a mini boss that actually fucking sucks to face, miles worse than St. Dober. I'm so glad I haven't had to face him more, as he would suck to face in combination with anything else strong.
And ponos added aku without a hitch at all. While some Aku enemies are annoying, I really feel like they knocked it out of the park in regards to how they implemented the typing, and how they made sure to make it balanced at the very least. Some of my favorite stages are aku related stages, as they offer so much variety and synergy that you can't get with Behemoth...really fucking sucks man.
Overall, I absolutely agree with your points...plus I wanna bring up the "Cats defeated" spawning method...which absolutely fucking sucked with this previous excavation...as it spawned in Puffingtons after 40, 70, and 110 cats killed iirc. Ponos has been taking L after L as of late, but at the very least we got Infernal 31-40, which I am excited about.
Moral of the story: Don't do drugs kids, as you may end up making a broken ass sub type and broken ass unit that powercrept the entire game at this point.
Also I love ranting in any form, it's really fun
If they add a Traitless Colossus, I want it to be based on Kory
Watch ponos make an r.ost variant
@@mrtulas1834 if that will ever happen it would be hilarious if the orb was stuck in his head
Behemoth sounds like the definition of Good Concept, Bad Execution.
Another thing I don’t like about behemoths is that most of them are immune to debuffs so it leaves out all the cats that aren’t strong/massive damage so you are required to use behemoth killers and rush them down and even then only 4 of them are able to do it (also yellow stones are complete bullshit)
I hate that my True Form Kanna has a super good Surge attack and behemoth killer, even though a lot of the behemoth enemies are immune to surge…
"Yeah, I know what Behemoth is. That's the aku elephant, right?"
With the new Sage Sub-Trait added, an interesting thing would've been if CC-based -Monster- Behemoth Slayer units ignored immunities. Other than that, all Slayer Abilities really should've been consistant and especially less offensively powerful.
This results in lower numbers around the board, even for the enemies who don't need to be as strong anymore.
Behemoth Slayer's Dodge can stay and vary from unit to unit, but be much more effective for those that need it.
Currently, these are the multipliers:
Deal 1.6x damage to and take 0.7x damage from Colossus;
Deal 2.5x damage to and take 0.6x damage from Behemoth. Can Dodge them, usually 5% chance for 1 second;
Deal 1.2x damage to and take 0.5x damage from Sage. Ignores their debuff resist and resists debuffs from them.
My pitch for the new multipliers:
Deal 1.25x damage to and take 0.75x damage from Colossus/Behemoth/Sage.
Basically half the strength of Treasureless Strong. The only buff would be damage dealt against Sages.
Behemoth Slayer keeps Dodge chance, but much more varied in chance and time, being much stronger on CC based Units so they can actually do their job (and bypass Immunities). Damage based Units can also easily just lack Dodge altogether.
I didn't even know Sage Slayers actually gain the same resistances (70% duration and 50% KB) dealt by Sage Enemies.
I think it's fine to just keep their Ignore Debuff Resist, but with the defense being halved, it can probably stay. idk it's new.
It would be funny to see it stack with Resist Talents to gain an immunity, though.
ngl I would’ve liked for there to be like a mining section in gamatoto area, where you can use energy or exp to send out to get a random amount (1~3) of a random stone, or a gamatoto path for behemoth stones
My gripe with the whole system is a combination of the irritating farming required for them as well as the majority of the egg units being pretty garbage. Courier, Mushroom, and the Duck on being exceptions, but are also really expensive to upgrade.
Edit: Also the good eggs being locked behind the Excavation stages makes them slow and sometimes difficult to obtain ON TOP of having to farm cubes.
Great video. This really touched on why i slowed down playing battle cats recently. The point on ability based eggs, those eggs also have quite a high beast stone cost leading to some to fell that they are useful and just dont care. Also courier made so many people start demanding ponos to make more and more broken units so all they have to do is just click one button and instantly win
I understand why you don't like the Behemoth trait itself, but what do you think of the actual Behemoth enemies? I think they look cool, but how fun they are to fight varies. Some of them present a unique challenge, and some of them are just advent bosses disguised as regular enemies.
Oh I really like them in terms of designs at least, in terms of stats some are kinda all over the place. Ahirujo is fine, Darkjo is way too tanky, Sloth is cool, Ant is cool, they're mostly fine and dandy
@@LucasIVYTthe FOLIVOREAN is extremely easy. Never featured with any actual strong peon (in stages where its a threat)> I think, if ponos was trying to instill fear into a player, zant is perfect. Whenever i see him I just start spamming furiously to try and kill it in time. Ajirujo is useless. Waste of space in the enemy limit after courier. I think rajakong and scissorex are very formidable but not unbeatable, so i like those two the best.
my biggest gripe with them is the grind ya mentioned. You spend weeks or even months farming these cubes if you got bad luck or busy schedule and most of the time you get meh units as reward. Especially the eggs and the new monthly cats cuz they just kinda suck for all the effort you go through
He's spitting fucking facts. Can't wait until we're done with this so we can move on to actual content band not just farming stage number #5436536
They spent less time on a whole new enemy type (akus) than this garbage
All the eggs are kinda like when PONOS released Sarukani And Pai Pai right after Daboo and Hannya respectively except for eggs they're required for the enemy they counter. Otherwise without eggs a specific behemoth can be extremely annoying to fight. The worst part is that you usually have to fight the enemy first before even getting the unit to counter it.
Bros prediction was on point. Red sleipnier with 15% chance to freeze and 100% to do a level 4 mini wave.
4:20 The saddest part is that this isn’t even true anymore, as the new white egg doesn’t target white.
Also how many cubes you need for each true form and how little you get on average
If it comes to behemots, you just get the courier and you can completly forgot about it. Like, there is no reason why you shold do more of them, the cats u get are mostly bad and only good against behemots, which leads you to more cats with this niche, it doesnt adds something to other parts of the game, which seems kinda pointless.
Before you get the true forms of the eggs, which takes a stupid amount of time to get because of the stone grinding, the only way to beat the behemoths is to spam strong units like cyborg
To beat the last stage in empress excavation two I had to use researched Ramen, Amaterasu, Chronos, and Iz the alluring dancer and two continues because I didn't have mushroom this has to stop.
Making Behemoth a trait really just solves a lot of problems, like courier, courier could just have massive dmg against behemoth, and that's it, it would still be good, but that's because courier is just broken on his own, courier might still be a must have for certain rushable behemoths, but just make them better and not bullshit like rajakong wave. If I didn't have dancer I would've been so screwed
Since the theme of (some) units and enemies is prehistoric, maybe it could've been something of a new game +. If it has its own chapters like into the future, where normal units are weaker in comparison to the egg units, and made behemoth slayer even stronger. For farming, just making it rotate like the catfruit stages would've been enough, even then it really doesn't have to be there. For the beginning of the new prehistoric chapter, it could've brought in new units from non mission objectives, like how empire of cats chapter 1 gives units after certain stages. And maybe making the eggs have a purpose, or making the second form egg a baby version of the unit. As for behemoth enemies in event or late game, they could be magnified down, or have the units restricted. Which is why "ancient" rares could fix some issues in late game.
Just my ideas, tldr: behemoths could've been like the aku, just changed around
I love the fact that legend rares have the pendimensional Crystal and that uber and epic fest have unique designs I think epic fest units all glow or is it just garu? Also new girls and monsters goddeess vega should be coming soon and she seems trash in stats
Get egg, feed egg colored stones, unleash cat from egg where cat is kinda weak, cat true form is much much stronger in true form.
Or maybe the eggs can be stone pods that are a bit bigger to fit the cat.
I'm now confused ponos doesn't release balance patches for these units... Like, i love you courier but you're oversaturated on my lineups : (
And I'm sad they couldn't nerf dasli so we don't have "great" fest units after her... (I'm still malding over D'iz,a melee unit, having lower hp than fucking d'arktanyan,an ld midranger...)Or make them as powerful as the first three fest
Edit: I don't wanna fight 270% relic enemies in late game UL 💀💀
I personally kind of like most of the things related to behemoths, but I must say one thing that's awful for me. The eggs and in general units that use B. Stones for they true form end up being just one more entry in your cat guide for a really, really long time. I mean, at one point I cleared all the farming and empress excavation stages and I ended up with Courier, Mask cat, cat Tarzan, a bunch of eggs and only like one yellow stone... The units are unlocked by the player so late that at that point they probably completely lost interest in them. And I think that's kind of crazy.
How about Behemoth Killer Talent Orb? It has no level, and grants a cat the Behemoth Killer standard ability. Locked behind Infernal Tower somewhere past stage 40
dont forget that behemoth was also created to counter dasli XD
Surge immune bastards
Coming back to battle cats after leaving when dogemon came out, I was and still so confused on who greenlit B.Stones and B.Killer as a whole, like, strong exist, why make another version of it only specifically for a subclass, and the fact you have grind material on a non grindable stage, is just, sooo confusing
would catarzan be useful of cotc?
I like that all the new egg units are 4 star viable, since 4 star UL gets kinda awful at times. Also, I'm holding out hope that Behemoth actually becomes relevant in the new Legend Saga, whenever Ponos finally decides to release it. Maybe Behemoth Realms. Yes, I've been holding onto this hope for 5 months now but if I just die on this hill a little longer it will come true trust me
I kinda want a Wicked Manic Starred Colossal Behemoth.
Don't give them ideas
I also dislike how they outclass a lot of ubers? i.e. Cat Chief and Sarukani. Sarukani was one of the best anti-zombie attackers in the game but Cat Chief completely outclasses him in terms of damage and health along with having tons of other abilities like soulstrike and even mini-wave. Plus Cat Chief is no gacha and a rare cat, making it much more accessible to an extent, and usable in 4-crowns. Usually it's a good thing when a rare or no gacha unit outclasses an uber however that comepletely ruins the whole point of an uber. Ubers are SUPPOSED to be special. They're SUPPOSED to feel exclusive. They're meant to make players feel lucky or special that they have that one uber that really helps them with that one trait. I'd be more okay with Cat Chief it didn't completely overhaul Sarukani. Sarukani can't even be used for his angel niche thanks to mushroom lol.
Courier is jizo but no-gacha so ponos can balance enemy stats around it
Ponos really made another must-have unit for certain stages huh?
That thumbnail LoL but my guess is the worst thing is the current strongest behemoth enemy which is angelic raging gory at the moment
I wish the changed how Behemoth Slayer worked so that CC units with that ability targeted every Behemoth enemy by default, but I don't mind them much. The trait I really hate is Relic. All the enemies are busted, they curse, their magnifications are cracked af, you don't get treasures to increase the effectiveness of abilities that target them even though they're already the strongest, and most units that are good against them required talents and shit to work against them.
However, the thing I truly despised when it came out was the Counter Surge ability. It's disgusting. How about you invested in a unit that got Surge, maybe through talents? Well, now using that unit is actively worse than before against those enemies (which I hope Ponos doesn't decide to make very frequent). You wasted those NP in, I don't know, Dancer Cat or something, so that now you have to discard it when going against said enemies. And you can't even deactivate a Talent ability or anything. It absolutely sucks that such a thing exists.
Eggy Cat true form being a true counter to rajakong would be nice
Based topic but if no behemoth then no courier. No courier makes me feel more pain than no bitches sadge.
That was a wild stream just now y'all
That aged weirdly because of egg buffs
It’s kind of like the past or something, with couriers and gas masks, but this is the longest ass stretch in the history is stretches.
Add behemoth fruits or add a new tier 3 color fruit that any regular color fruit can upgrade into
I love how they just forgot to put behemoth slayer on cactus cat funni inconsistencies
Me : stuck in zombies sol (the first time you meet)
*checking in storage* wait since when i got you yellow one?
why is it bye youtube at the start of the vid?
It was a 2 segment stream, before I was doijg 11.9 review and was planning to make a vid of it but i ended up being too busy to make a highlight of it
Behemoth stuff shouldve just been a trait where when the enemy is loe health it tranforms to its monster form.

Best update in battle cats ever!
Watching this as a BC newcomer makes me worried of what's to come
Imagine being a freeze unit getting behemoth slayer when your targets are immune to freeze
I spent 3 weeks trying my luck in volcano stage 4 trying to get through yellow behemoth stone SOL faster
if they added behemoths stones, especially the yellows ones, to stop new players from getting it i dont really see the point. Epic catfruit seeds are right there man, relic catfruits also kinda count but they are technically possible early on just very difficult.
i finally got 1200 user rank :D i just need to farm catfruit and im gonna have cameraman!
The nail in the coffin for this arguement is that it applies to starred ul
They're both necessary and they're both not fair whether it's somewhat or entirely
The stone things look like fruit jellies.

i wish colossals and behemoth had a gimmick. colossals suck since the "gimmick" is magnification, which is applied to all enemies (like bunbun who is always battled at 200% or more i believe). so they're basically just normal enemies with an added trait which is "strong against" copy (behemoth and colossal slayer)
They do have a gimmick, colossal always has an extra/more powerful debuff (jackrabbit kb, chibinels weaken) and behemoths always have an immunity.
Lucas's predictions came true, thanks to courier we now have a sleipnir behemoth with 1.6 million hp, 15k dps, 100% mini-wave chance and 400 range🗿
i like them but WHY THE FU*K DID THEY ADD BASE MATERIAL IN EVOLVE MATERIAL STAGE
I think that the new upgrade material idea is good the farming methods is what's bad imo
I don't need mushroom for rajakong... I just use Benkei 🤷♀️
love how he says/pronounces rajakong
Ponos trying to slowly courier pill everyone fr
WE HAVE A FUCKING CLOWN NOW WHAT ARE THESE EGGS ON RN
Nah the worst thing about this update is the BS drop rate on Behemoth Stones specifically anything that isn't Red or Purple, ESPECIALLY with Yellow Stone.
I've gotten enough of every stone to evolve True Killer Cat into Radical Cat EXCEPT for Yellow and up until now I still haven't gotten a single Yellow Behemoth Stone.
Unless PONOS adds more Hunter Maps then Behemoth Stones will remain the worst thing this update has to offer
bro Dabuu deserves to be titled as a behemoth, not these normal enemy reskins
Finnaly more lucas Iv content
Tbh these points feel a little overexagerated.
Complaining about rajakong while I've never struggled with him even before shroom.
I agree that behemoth should be a typing and all to help the debuff units
The funny thing is these behemoths aren't really that hard from what I've seen. I'm extremely far in this game but even then it's hard to fathom how something with such low pushing power can get complained about so much.
Rajakong as a unit itself is terribly scary, but so far a lot of the stages that implements Rajakong is extremely forgiving bar Lava Caves 10. Mainly the reason being that when those levels were released, Mushroom didn't exist yet.
As an enemy itself it's one of the scariest Behemoths aside from like Scissorex and Pterowl
Maybe the fact that you're extremely far in the game can be the answer on why you never found them scary or threatening. I didn't have any problems with rajakong either, but I know that usually people doesn't have their ramens as boosted as mine(+30~+35 with resistance talent orb A and full hp up talent) when facing rajakong
Behemoth is a good name for a trait, I dont know what you guys are talking about, monster would be to basic,
am i the only one who doesnt have a problem with any of these things? i can see some of the complaints like the no theme thing but i really dont mind the new farming material or behemoth slayer in general as abilities
Smh 400% is the max wild doge magnification we have precedent for. Have fun!
