How to Progress Through The Battle Cats (Beginners)

Storyline / Progression Focus

• After beating Chapter 3: Moon, the video explains what to do next in The Battle Cats to avoid getting stuck.
• It emphasizes a “smooth progression” approach: follow an order of unlocks/stages so your unit levels (cat levels) can keep up with your story progression.
• Chapter 3: Moon is framed as the point where beginners often rush ahead and then hit difficult stuck stages.

Gameplay Highlights & Key Ideas

Efficient next steps after Chapter 3: Moon

• The recommended path is to focus on Stories of Legend first, rather than immediately starting Into the Future.
• Reason: Into the Future was added later, and rushing it can create a long problem where cat levels can’t catch up.

The core “getting stuck” mechanic

If you progress too fast through story/chapter stages:

• Your progression level outruns your cat levels
• You struggle on higher difficulty stages for a long time
• Once your levels finally catch up, you progress again
• Then the cycle repeats on the next harder stage

Solution: take it slow and be patient with cat level growth.

Crazed Cats as a checkpoint requirement

• You don’t need every Crazed Cat right away.
• The easiest early goal highlighted is:
  • Crazed Whale (and possibly Crazed Fish)
• It’s suggested you can work toward this around level 25 cats.
• This enables smoother progression later, especially for Into the Future Chapter 1.

Energy / flag management

• Stories of Legend consume energy/flags.
• Tips mentioned:
  • Don’t spend cat food on energy
  • Let energy/flags regenerate and clear as you can
• Early Stories of Legend subchapters are described as relatively easier:
  • potentially 3-star, and sometimes 4-star depending on your gacha units.

Recommended Progression Route (Beginner “Order”)

After Chapter 3: Moon

1. Start Stories of Legend first
   • Clear subchapters/stages for:
     • cat food (noted as ~30 per subchapter)
     • XP from clearing Legend stages
     • a flag reward (mentioned)
2. During available events:
   • Run weekly / cat food and XP-related events
   • Do monthly events
   • Participate in special event cycles (example mentioned: 5-year anniversary)
3. Get levels faster using tickets / extra XP routes
   • Do cat ticket chances
   • Example mentioned: “Siege of Hippo or whatever cat tickets stage it is”
   • Goal: gain enough levels early so later chapters don’t block progress
4. When ready for Crazed Cats:
   • Work toward Crazed Whale / Crazed Fish
5. Enter Into the Future—but in the right order
   • When you’re ready (after getting the needed Crazed Cat(s)), go to:
     • Into the Future Chapter 1
   • Do not immediately continue to:
     • Into the Future Chapter 2
6. After Into the Future Chapter 1:
   • Go back to Stories of Legend
   • Finish/collect the relevant Crazed Cats
7. Then:
   • Proceed to Into the Future Chapter 2 (and onward) more smoothly

Common Mistakes Mentioned

• Rushing Into the Future immediately after Chapter 3: Moon.
• Ignoring Stories of Legend and its easier early subchapters/rewards.
• Spending cat food on energy.
• Progressing too quickly overall, triggering the cat levels vs progression level “stuck cycle.”
