Crazed Bird Cat is one of the most coveted Uber Rare cats in The Battle Cats. As a powerful anti-floating specialist, Crazed Bird Cat is highly valued by players looking to counter troublesome floating enemies. However, obtaining Crazed Bird Cat requires completing the extremely difficult Crazed Bird Cat stage. This raises the question – is putting in the effort to get Crazed Bird Cat really worth it?
What is Crazed Bird Cat?
Crazed Bird Cat is the Crazed version of Bird Cat. Crazed Cats are more powerful variants of basic cats that are obtained by completing special event stages. Crazed Bird Cat has the following stats at level 30:
| Health: | 162,500 |
| Attack: | 18,500 |
| Attack Frequency: | 2.53 seconds |
| Movement Speed: | 11 |
| Range: | 50 |
| Cost: | 290 |
| Recharge Time: | 61.25 seconds |
As you can see, Crazed Bird Cat has excellent DPS and speed for its cost. But what really makes Crazed Bird Cat shine is its ability. Crazed Bird Cat has a massive 660% damage increase against floating enemies. This makes Crazed Bird Cat one of the hardest hitting anti-floating cats in the game.
Why is Crazed Bird Cat Considered So Good?
There are a few key reasons why Crazed Bird Cat is valued so highly by Battle Cats players:
Massive damage to floating enemies
With a 660% damage boost against floating types, Crazed Bird Cat deals incredible damage per second to any floating threat. Even with mediocre levels and treasures, Crazed Bird Cat can tear through the health of most floating enemies.
Well-rounded stats for a ranged attacker
Crazed Bird Cat has a great combination of HP, DPS, range, and cost. 18,500 DPS is very strong for a cat with a 290 cost and 50 range. This allows Crazed Bird Cat to dish out huge damage safely from a distance.
Spammable
With a mere 61.25 seconds recharge time, Crazed Bird Cat can be deployed frequently to overwhelm floating enemies. Combined with Crazed Bird Cat’s relatively low cost, you can stack Crazed Bird Cats to shred through tough floating threats.
Outranges many floating enemies
At 50 range, Crazed Bird Cat can strike from outside the range of most floating enemies like the Face and Bun Bun Symbiote. This allows Crazed Bird Cat to chip away at floatings without taking damage.
What Events/Levels Is Crazed Bird Cat Good For?
Here are some events and stages where Crazed Bird Cat really shines:
Heavenly Tower
Several floors in Heavenly Tower feature tough floating bosses like Owlbrow and Calamary. A stacked team of Crazed Bird Cats can shred through their health.
Floating Continent
Every stage in Floating Continent has floatings enemies. Bringing Crazed Bird Cat allows you to counter threats like Bun Bun Symbiote much more easily.
Sea Polluter
The deadly metal One Horn can be countered by using Crazed Bird Cat to take out the supporting Shy Boy and Gabriel first.
Prince of Darkness
Crazed Bird Cat helps immensely against the Supported Bun Bun Symbiote boss. Just be sure to bring protection against the peons.
Crimson Catastrophe
The Red Cyclone is floating type, so Crazed Bird Cat will shred through it. Just be wary of the Cyclone’s lethal damage.
What Are the Downsides of Using Crazed Bird Cat?
While Crazed Bird Cat is undoubtedly one of the best anti-floating cats, it does have some weaknesses to be aware of:
Single target
Unlike units like Paris Cat, Crazed Bird Cat can only damage one enemy at a time. This limits its usefulness against large hordes of weak floating enemies.
Mediocre range
While 50 range is solid, some lategame floating enemies like THE SLOTH outrange Crazed Bird Cat. This can make Crazed Bird Cat ineffective at times.
Slow movement speed
With just 11 movement speed, Crazed Bird Cat is quite slow. Faster moving enemies can potentially overwhelm Crazed Bird Cat before it can dish out enough damage.
Long recharge time
While the recharge isn’t awful, 61.25 seconds does limit how frequently Crazed Bird Cat can be deployed. Spawning them continuously is difficult.
Is Beating Crazed Bird Cat Stage Realistic?
Clearing the Crazed Bird Cat stage is considered one of the most difficult challenges in The Battle Cats. Here are some things to consider regarding beating the stage:
You need anti-floating and area attackers
Stacking units like Paris Cat is a must for clearing the peons quickly. Bringing powerful anti-floatings like Dragon Cat help take down the Crazed Bird Cat.
Level 30+ basics recommended
The peons are very strong, so having at least level 30 cats is advised. True forms help immensely as well.
Cat CPU can help
Using the Cat CPU powerup allows you to focus on spawn timing and combos while letting the CPU control cat deployment.
Be strategic with Cat Combos
Try to activate combos that freeze or slow floating enemies to control the battlefield better.
Bring defense combos
The Crazed Bird Cat hits extremely hard, so boosting the stats of meatshields is important.
Is Crazed Bird Cat Worth The Effort?
Defeating Crazed Bird Cat’s stage is very difficult, but Crazed Bird Cat is an extremely powerful unit that can carry you through much of the game’s content. Here are some key points to summarize whether unlocking Crazed Bird Cat is worth it:
You will struggle without anti-floating specialists later on
Many late game enemies are floating type. Not having units like Crazed Bird Cat will make progression very difficult.
Gives you a huge advantage against floating enemies
Crazed Bird Cat destroys any generic floating enemies and makes floating bosses much easier to defeat.
Permanently improves your roster
Once unlocked, you have Crazed Bird Cat forever. It will remain a staple in lineups for its whole lifespan.
Stage is extremely hard without gacha cats
You generally need Uber Rares to stack anti-floating damage for defeating Crazed Bird consistently.
May take many frustrating attempts
The stage boils down to luck sometimes. Be prepared for things to go wrong.
Conclusion
Unlocking Crazed Bird Cat requires a major investment of time and effort, but the payoff is massive. Having a stacked Crazed Bird Cat or two can utterly destroy nearly any floating threat in the game. If you’re struggling against floating enemies, unlocking Crazed Bird Cat should be a top priority.
