i honestly have no idea in what direction PONOS may be going with this recent update, let's just hope that there won't be a day where we see ads inbetween levels
Lets hope that the ads only affect features like the continues or cat god.
Let’s hope they’re all optional ads. Those ads are the the only reasonable ones
I really like the double xp thing though, the ad actually saves a lot of time on xp grinding. As long as all ads are optional I'm happy
Honestly I don’t know why this was not a thing already
There will need to be a limit on how many ads you can watch
I remember when people including me watched 1500 ads for free 11 draw, i love ads
Why +10days nonstop watching
@@thingthingthingthingthingthing I did the math back when that was an option, I'm pretty sure it equalized out to roughly eleven hours
Man I left TBC years ago and this still haunt me everytime I see an ad
Rare moment of Lucas actually playing his JP account.
Also the games you played as a replacement for the advertisement is genius lol
I was wondering about that, like steam games having ads? That's weird

2:53 MISTER BEHEEMOOOOOOOOOTH
In this video i gathered all Behemoth slayer cats and made them compete for 2 dark eyes
@@joe_diancourier probably swept that competition like it was nothing lol.
I raised this question on Jones's video as well, but I want to bring it up here too.
The whole point of a continue is that it sets up a sort of checkpoint, so if you use a continue, then force close the app and re-open it, it will start you from right after you used the continue.
According to Jones, ads for free continues refresh around every 8 hours.
That makes me wonder if you -
1. lose a stage
2. watch an ad for a continue
3. Force close the game
4. Come back after 8 hours to play from where the continue left you off
5. Lose again
Would it give you another chance to watch an add to continue?
It'd get pretty annoying and time consuming, but theoretically you could just chain this to basically get free continues on a specific stage.
For instance, you could play the Crazed Cat stage (taking it as a random example because it was brought up in the video and also it's basically THAT stage where the reward is much more valuable than one or even two continues) that right before going to sleep, watch an ad for the continue, force close and go to sleep, then wake up the next morning to play the stage and get another free continue in case you lost again, and by that point you'd probably be able to beat the stage and exit it with whatever reward. Just a thought.
Also, the idea of Ponos implementing that free 10000 XP per ad is really fucking genius if they had the quitters in mind like you suggested. That's a little unethical but such a smart business decision you have to respect it.
That's a 1000 IQ play right there
that would be funny
Sounds smart but I honestly think they wouldn’t give you the option no matter what after using it once on a specific stage,
And if it does work you’d be better off just spending like 30 minutes trying to beat a stage then 8 hours😂
as long as ads aren't forced everything's gonna be fine
the world will flourish

I am depressed
This has actually just happened in another relic of a gatcha game: Puzzle and Dragons. They recently added a single continue for stages that can have in return for a single ad watch. On top of that, the player rank XP doubling after a stage with massive player rank XP.
They already had two daily energy refills (absolute god send), two daily box expansions (kinda useless unless you’re cheap), and a few videos at a free gatcha machine (middling). I feel like more old gatchas might be doing this keep casuals hooked to keep the whales around, even though these games are basically single player in the end of the day.
that sounds very similar lmao huh
Since you know about P&D I was wondering how their account recovery works (looking it up didn't help). I spent about 2 years growing an account without knowing much about the game on my old phone. I got back on the phone but when I redownloaded there was no save data. I built a dragon caller valeria team and I don't know if it's worth it to start over.
Omg Project Sekai did this too recently (around May), with ads for token rewards, energy, unlocking songs, and for event currency. I think it's fine if we don't get ads forced onto us tbh, but seeing these does make me worry about the profit these games are making. Like, do you NEED ads to stay profitable? Are you telling me the game is dying? Maybe it's just all in my head though.
Literally yesterday, there is conversation about Bionic Seaweed in r/bc and someone mentioned that they saw a player spend 10 continues on the stage at 1-star. Not matter advertisement has changed or not, newbies still abuse continue system with cat food anyway. Don't be afraid about continue usage habit because it's always has been.
I actually recently started grinding Sol after completing Cotc 1 (I know I’m behind) and coming up onto Bionic seaweed was a major roadblock. At first I just used continues to try to brute force it, but after failing the 4th continue I decided to take a break from sol and start grinding my anti metal units. After doing so I managed to easily complete Bionic seaweed
absolute skill issue
I’m ashamed cuz I used 7 continues on crazed cat when I was underleveled as hell. Then I got leveled and only used 1 continue on tank.
Imagine a funny implementation of using ad to grant you a spot in LR unchanged or rescue one more unit in labyrinth
The ads back in the days you could watch ads to grind cat food for almost unlimited amount but now it nerf to oblivion
Just go to the “complete offers” tab and do every “single search engine results” in offer for 1 cat food each. That’s the only offer that reliably gives you your reward and you can do about 30 per day in about 5 minutes
this is such a funny editting style with random lucas-incorpated stock images. :+1
Not learning vital strategies and skills is definitely gonna happen. Few years ago I was stuck on Mina, I was dumb back then and thought the wiki strats were the "only" good online strats, so I thought "Ah man, this looks so complicated", Ignored all the videos showing how to chain Bahamut, and I just brute forced her with Jizo and Cyborg, using THREE continues. And every Baha chain level from there on I had the same issue until eventually I started watching Wuffa and Kartoffel and realized "Oh hey this doesn't look so bad"
(And fyi I'm in mid UL now and I can make my own loadouts on a decent chunk of levels)
My catfood storage hurts reading this
7:42 omg zoge does 700 damage 🤯🤯🤯
what make my cats walk backwards🤯🤯

I’m a bit worried about this ad push. Definitely nice to have, but I pray they don’t include forced ads as well. One of the big positives about Battle Cats is that it’s a mobile game without intrusive ads, and especially a mobile game that’s connected to the internet (which is very annoying when trying to play on a trip, but whatever).
Mostly a win-win situation as far as I can see, as long as they keep ads completely optional then I'm all for it
Doesn't sound bad, but ads might escalate and I really don't want that
Lessgo, can’t wait to watch ads for 300 days to get +7 on lil lizard😍
Love the ads being replaced with peak games
i fw this hard, as long as ads remain optional and don’t come up during normal gameplay with no rewards. for a gacha game, ponos is extremely forgiving with currency / purchasable content through gameplay, maybe with the exception of plat tickets because of their limited availability FTP. but especially by midgame, regular gameplay can yield you a LOT of catfood and rolls as long as you’re willing to save up and time uses. the gacha randomness element can be removed completely if you’re willing to track seeds, given it uses predictable rng, which you’d think they’d change up by now if they saw it as damaging their income, but thats not the point. for ponos to make more from their game, they’d either have to remove this leniency with their playerbase, alienating FTP and low-spending players, or go to alternate methods. optional rewards ads gives ponos another way to monetize while maintaining the ability to grind efficiently for catfood and resources and not being forced to just buy it as a premium currency. having ads that are optional and give a reward is a very ethical way of implementing that because it’s essentially a win-win for both ponos and the player. huge respect for them for that instead going the route of other mobile games
Well we can only wait to see how this will affect the game in a long term
Also speeding up the trailers of indie games you've played and showing them as ads is such a genius and funny idea
ngl those ads in the video were kind of fire maybe i should play those games instead of playing protons neurons and morons a 1000 times for z-materials
Unrelated but loving the slightly different artstyle of expressions and poses Lucas is showing in the thumbnails rather than being a standstill of 2 poses!
the last command ad cameo lmao
remember when you wanted to double tap a treasure that isn't unlocked/superior yet to go into that stage? its been implemented
WHAT
Definitely interesting changes by ponos. What intrigues me most is the free lucky ticket. Makes me wonder what else they might do with ads.
It is unfortunate though that it is only one ticket. If I get back into the game I’ll definitely be doing draws every day, but for now I’ll continue enjoying my break from cat game
i think they should put ads for grinding treasures, like watch an ad for 30 min treasure boost or something
This is actually gonna be huge for things like crazeds
Free Continue doesn't have 2x limit. On my testing I used 3 times within a day.
oh sick, so its just 8hr cooldown?
@@LucasIVYT yeah. Doing Starred UL three times a day sounds like healthy pace
i live in germany and the update isnt out there??
LUCAS just because you add your hat doesn’t make these humans you 😭
yes they are wtf
What do you mean?
These are all photos of Lucas.
Lucas has this ability to transform into different humans okay? Thats why all humans in the pictures look different from one another but they are all actually lucas.
What do you know protogen boi
wow the free continues are really huge, for whatever reason for a while i thought it was stort mode only or smth, overall at least for me i think this is overall a great change as a zl player whos looking to start a 2nd save for a SoL speedrun around sept (to do ez reset for a hard carry uber with anniversary), starting in anni is already massive but the continues for ez ctank just makes progression so much faster
So you're able to continue a stage for free and support a a game that you like sounds like a win-win honestly
To be honest, as long as PONOS keeps implementing ads as “watch and get a reward” I’m happy, but if they end up forcing ads on players it’s gonna suck
As long as no forced ads I'm good
Also the Lucky tickets are definitely gonna be big I think. Remember that they add up, after a year of ads you'll get 365 Tickets which can be quite game changing for your lils.
The ads are wild💀💀
1:57 of course he unmuted the tevi ad
one question, do you have the double xp option for clearing an xp stage with gold cpu? that’s my main method of getting xp through archfiend’s temptation
BCEN got update 13.4.1, which added the ads for x2 XP
i love how you're just giving free promotion to your favourite games in the ad breaks
4:23 xp colluseum with xp up and that will be so useful
2 views in 1 min? Prime lucas would have 736 million views in 97 zeptoseconds
cringe comment, jump
SIX MONTHS???
Honestly I cant blame Ponos for this update, I doubt they make that much money from a really good free game that barely requires real money spent.
The continues thing doesn't exactly matter much anyways because most late game stages have no continues anyway 🤷♂️
There's Now Gonna Be A No Continues Community Soon
I wonder if these will straight up not appear for me like the energy refill lmao.
The lil cats' grind isn't even bad. I have all of mine maxed out from just playing midas touch. Well 2,000 clears isn't much, right?
we need a alex yiik cat who would be a reference to the hit indie RPG protagonist alex yiik
I am actually a huge fan of the 2x XP ads, since it will save the peeps who struggle with leaderships (Like me lol) a lot of time and energy, aswell as just make the grind for Uber or Manic levels a lot more bearable
honestly the way i see it, that free EXP in the shop is actually something of a good move for another good reason in terms of leveling up units. You could be just shy of enough EXP that's less than 10K for the unit that you want to level up as it would be an annoyance to go and get enough exp, but with this you can just watch an ad and get that exp to squeeze out that one level of that unit. Might be rare to happen but it's a possibility that is a good move on their part.
Also that bit about Cat God not taking ads for his powers so that he can pay rent for his apartment is a really funny joke cause i can see that being canon in the Battle Cats universe.
Those ads are crazy 😂😂😂
We need the most important ads... ONE RARE CAT TICKET × 1 ADS!!111
Ponos does that, and they will be billionaires xD.
Subtle Rabi-Ribi and Pizza Tower messaging in place for the actual ads
Nice lol
Honestly im kinda fine with this?? Because honestly id just watch the ads in battle cats for fun because i think im giving them just a bit more cents. But i hope battle cats doesnt become ad hell.
I see this approximately 8 hours after whaling 90 catfood in continues on 4 Crown Heaven’s Oasis
I have something we like to call, pride, honor, I ain't no bitch
catch me lackin when 3star ul pulls up
I have never been able to watch any ads for the time I have played this game. It just syan no media avaliable yes, I'm connected to internet and my settyings should allow it. Does anyone have a fix to this? It is a big problem now with this update.
If watching an ad is not mandatory and an alternative for paying money (or catfood) I think it's good.
I like how i just saw this while listening to LUST. by Kendrick Lamar lol
Impresive that you got ads for actual games
Imagine ads playing while you are beating a hard stage 😂
Ponos getting profit out of beginner players be like: 📈📈📈
I somehow don’t get a single ad option who knows why, haven’t seen a add option since I started playing.
perhaps the 10k XP could make early game a bit easier, which may make more players stay after EOC 1
I’m guessing the said research combo video is about how its overused or smth
What is the backround song ?
i live in germany and theres still no update??
The 10k xp could be used if you need like 2k xp but you don’t want to waste you energy for some xp
Fr glass slippEr is a pain
5:10 is it just me or do I have wayyy more treasure radars that I don’t need
Time to find more people with skill issue 👍
it would be funny if they put adds in gamatoto expeditions cuz my luck is bad when it comes to cat eyes
A lot of games have "Watch ad to decrease time on your resource carrier" Maybe they could do one ad for 1 Hour off, and knowing Ponos they'd probably make it 6 Times a day, so you can get ONE free shipment
Lucas trying to brain wash me into buying Tevi and Last Command again
for a free 10 mil xp just use a treasure radar on the first mission in zl
man ad change was not even out yet but it already change how much ad for energy I get I mean I use to get 5 every day now I'm luck to get 2 ads for energy feels bad for grind guy like me
i don't think free continues will affect the balance much, majority of relevant stages are no continues anyway
And you know something else that is smart the ad for the lucky ticket is every day guess what else you get every day: normal tickets so if you are someone like me who spends their normal tickets every day you are more likely to see the ad for the lucky ticket and watch it for the hopes of a plus level which is genius
Finally, ads that don’t grant me an impressive 5 CATFOOD a DAY!!!!!
I think I might be the reason there is a limit of 5 ads a day is because I would watch thousands of ads just to 11 draw😭🙏🙏
If they would have kept the free cat food with ads without limit, i wouldn't mind the XP and continue changes. If it stays as optional, i'm fine. Also, i don't nees to use the double XP because i always reache the XP limit and i don't have new units to spend it.
The ads you put on this video were great Jajaja.
Pessimistically, it might cause people to see Continues as a "legitimate" strategy now
The only ad i would ever watch in this game would be for np, i want an op can can so bad
What if you can’t can’t watch more?
this might be one of the best updates in the battle simply because of the amount of rewards, they should probably nerf continues if you for example are just failing on every no continue stage, for example nerf the amount of xp you get from stages and add tips to say this only if using an ad to continue, this teaches them the value of learning how to properly beat stages + the idea of catfood being valuable because its your best ticket out of a diffucult stage
Dang, sadly I somehow don’t have the option to watch ads 😔
Ads meta is so back
NO PLEASE I CANT WATCH ADS FOR SOME REASON PLS THIS IS SO UNFAIR 😭
Catgod abilities for an ad seems like a good idea, what do you feel about this Lucas?
basically same thought as continues
This is a godsend
why do ponos don't scale the shop xp? is so easy, if you're in late game you get more xp if you buy from the shop.
It's still not worthed.
Same with daily rewards from events
ah i see, only games you like get free ad
AYO Pizza tower ad 4:19
There should be a setting option to disable ads for players who don’t want to see them; I also hope ads don’t become mandatory
then you'll need to pay for that option ig
If only we got ads for free cat food back 😔 ah those were the days 🤑
Free continues would have been useful 7 years ago when I was stuck on eoc 3 moon and not now when I have every continue stage that isn't a a legend stage (as I am stuck on procrastinator parade for the last month) or the aku realm
As long as the ads are optional I'm not gonna complain
The cool down on adds for continues is... I don't wanna watch that many damn adds so it's only getting used a couple of times a day maybe
I will sacrafice my newborn if i can get ads for like 30 mins of treasure fest i still dont have eoc, itf and cotc treasures im fighting my demons trying not to buy radars
10k xp is the best ad 🙃
Guys I don’t know if this is a sin, but instead of upgrading in order of importance, I am currently upgrading by rarity, currently getting the last rare, going down the line. I think it’s satisfying having everything maxed in a row, and I’ve maxed most my good units already
Thanks to free continues now I can let emeny boom my base to get free max money 😅
Rich cat powercreep is real!
(Also obviously I am talking about the power up and not the unit. If you couldnt tell)
Three ads for an 11 roll (balanced)
its so rare for a game to have ads that are actually useful and now we get an update where they are even more useful. I will be your ad monkey my beloved Ponos
