To all yall saying lil gau gau is better than nono i know now. I didn’t know gau gau got a true form cuz I wasn’t active during princess punt so im sorry if I got that wrong but thanks for making me aware of my errors
I think Jetpack is still better, you gotta take the speed into account... and with end game players being able to run a Medium & Large research combo... you are going to be placing all black stages @ 0% push.
Yeah man someone made me aware of gau gau’s true form (I wasn’t playing during princess punt collab) my vid is now invalidated and I can’t show my face on the internet ever again
At least unlike future cat Cactus isn't completely outclassed since it's surge immune while Cone isn't. So cactus is better on stages with a ton of surge (which of course is akus specialty).
He'd be pretty good if he wasn't so expensive. You can beat the whole Aku realms and get Cone cat before collecting the 10 yellow stones needed to upgrade him.
Jetpack cats unlock requirement is really high , needing you to beat a brutal stage. So in early/mid game (itf/Cotc) catellite is still better the better option. This also applies to cone cat, but this situation is better because both cactus and future cat are unlocked in the beginning of late game, so you’ll be pretty stacked by then and unlocking cone cat is just a matter of time.
@RubTheCat let's be honest here, by the time you're able to get jetpack, which is by beating one of the only brutal stages in the game (which is total ass to boot), jetpack is already pretty useless. He's decent but definitely not great against barons, not even the 2 he targets. Tanking blacks is semi-viable, but Nono and Li'l GaoGao murder him in that regard. Bombercat and pizza also exist. Tanking aliens is even more of a no-brainer due to Catelite's existence. He doesn't have warp immunity, so he's not full proof against starred aliens (which is really the only aliens you'll find in late game) either. He would be good if you could get him FAR earlier, maybe around mid-game (at the start of UL, ig). But by the time you get him, you don't really have a use for him. I haven't used him at all aside from testing him in the xp stages when I got him.
Why people in the comment stupid enough to say tanker is meat shield 💀 Meatshield is a cat with good health Spammable And cheap Roe,octo,soap is not a meatshield , they are fkn tanker
Exactly, tankers and meatshields are two different roles. Tankers are supposed to take huge amounts of hits, while meatshields are meant to be cheap and spamable
FR 2 different things 1 is made to stall out enemy for as long as possible while being affordable (eraser cat, etc) 2nd is made to hold the frontline and protect units who doesnt have the best hp while being a HEAVY problem for enemiest o deal with most of the time, while also doing good damage (mekako on first form, etc)
doesnt roe, octo and soap also fill the role of a meatshield? isnt ramen a tanker for angels? they have the same roles, to absorb damage and protect the backlines.
I think another important factor is how much can you actually use them through out the game. For example haniwa is easier to get while brainwashed eraser is much rarer
2:21 Nono, Chibi Gau, and Kinjro are all comparable here. Depends on what you want in a meat shield. Pure HP goes to Chibi Gau and Speed goes to Kinjiro
I might as well add in some extra explanations to go along with the video… 0:40 not only that but Mr. Clay statue over there tends to clog up the cat limit with how slow it is which makes it a pain to use compared to other meatsheilds 1:11 while Viking cat is weaker at a base level of 30, he eventually overpowers belly dancer if you boost the both of them to high levels. At level 90 with talents, belly dancer has 60k health (85k avg health) while Viking cat has 200k health (not even accounting for strong orbs here which make an even bigger difference). It also depends on what the attack power and attack rate of the enemy is. Kind of comparing oranges and apples at that rate… 2:00 fun fact, Nono has half the base health of ramen but half the cooldown as well. Overall roughly the same as strong defense wise (not accounting for talents or orbs ofc) 2:46 cameraman is one of those weird units where is can act as both an stackable attacker and a psudeo meatsheild. Especially at higher levels you can use it without other meatsheilds against really slow and low range enemies to take them out without taking much damage. (I did that in floor 50 a few times) 3:40 catalite might fair a bit better when you boost it some but I still don’t think it can compete with jetpack until it’s talents come out (wushu and catalite talents when?!) 4:00 ramen can almost outcompete normal wall cat at a high enough level too! Since mine is maxed out in every aspect, I sometimes just use a research combo and use it as my only meatsheild and watch it shred everything with its crazy dps 4:35 before future cat was a thing jump rope cat wasn’t a bad pick for some stages despite how expensive it was 4:50 my problem with cone cat is how much money it eats. It’s super good when future cat cant cut it, but it makes some stages really hard just because of the lack of money. Switching between the two depending on the stage is the best option 5:20 same as before, catus cat is better for stages with low money or strong surge spam enemies (come doesn’t have surge immune). Also cactus cat has a really good combo with Lucifer that gives strong up which both of them have against aku. Other than that though, cone definitely can tank way more than cactus
Maximum the fighter/ viking cat has 3 kb count, making his effective hp(for stalling, which is a meatshield's job) only about 67k according to your numbers. Maximum at level 90 only has ~120k total effective hp against red(from mygamatoto) making for 40k usable hp. Bellydance also has 3 kb count, and with a level 90 total hp of 50k, their effective hp is only ~17k. Since belly dance has dodge, this can be increased by .3 for 30% dodge, making it 22k on average. Since belly dance has less health, same kb count, and same cooldown, maximum seems better. However, due to the nature of dodge, it lets you more easily stack up units, and on cyclone stages this can create a near immortal wall of bellydancers. Bellydance, unlike maximum, can also reliably get into professor A's standing range and tank capy hits decently enough. Though they both suck on mixed stages
@@kombattortoise103 what do you mean maximum has 120k effective hp? I accounted for both max treasures and talents being added so it’s 64,240 * 2.5 * 1.2 The strong against ability is 0.4 times damage taken and 1.8 times damage dealt with max treasure as opposed to half damage taken and 1.5 times damage dealt. Other than that you do make a good point, Maximums knockbacks aren’t super helpful but he at least lasts a long time still… I just don’t care as much for relying on something super rng dependent to work
Now that you’ve done traits, you can do different attacks, for example: Surge attackers: Gato Amigo Wave attackers: Octopus (easily) quick attackers with small damage: Eraser Warp attackers: Cattelite (you already covered this one) Nuke attackers: Lil’ Mohawk Btw ‘sorry future cat, you might be from the future but you were only good in the past’ was cold 🥶
Octo cant be the best wave meatshield because he isnt a meatshield, hes a tanker If it's cooldown is above 5s and/or its cost is above 500c, then its a tanker, not a meatshield
Personally I disagree with alien and floating because gold cat is just really bad and does instantly if not a pure floating stage but for 2.5x the effectiveness vs floating you can use takuya and Yuki (collab special) with 10k base hp instead of 5k For alien it could kinda be not classed as a meat shield but the tank soap cat is really good against aliens with 600k hp against them but 9 sec cool-down but has almost 1 million hp against behemoth aliens but I guess that’s not a meatshield then. Also for aku you should have considered that cone cat doesn’t have surge immune unlike cactus!
For red, black and floating, I, respectfully, disagree. Against red, you rarely, if ever, use either of those cats simply because Roe is way better than either at shielding even against stronger reds, especially thanks to Roe's weaken ability. (Also you didn't bring up Bellydancer for Akus, even though Bellydancer is used primarily for them and barely ever for reds) For black, there's Gau Gau from Princess Punt, who's way better at the job than Nono. For floating, Cameraman can't really bw considered a meatshield, not only due to range, but also because she's a mid ranged anti-floating DPS, King Nekokhamen is also pretty bad, only saved by toxic immunity. Octopus Cat is the best meatshield against floating. I know you consider meatshield cheap and spammable, but both Roe and Octopus are inexpensive and have a good recharge time.
Altough I completly agree for gau gau, roe is a tank and not a meatshield and same thing can be said for octopus. A meatshield is supposed to be spammable.
if 540¢ is arguably not cheap enough to be a meatshield in the video, why in the world are you suggesting Roe and Octopus Also a unit can serve multiple roles. For example, being a Tanker and Dps/Nuker(Pai-Pai, Musashi, etc). Cameraman is a good meatshield that happens to also have amazing dps
Why you gotta diss my boy like that, you have to also take into account WHEN do people get Cone Cat, sure he outclasses both Future and Cactus Cat, but they will be your first and most reliable options for a massive portion of the game, not to mention the absolute pain it is to beat Kappy Kawano, most people will beat him at around Doron or Nalaa, or even in ZL due to lack of NP / Good surge inmune units / Idi, unlike Modern witch will 90% of the time be obtained before even beating An Ancient Curse due to most people getting Rodeo Cat's relic target, so Typhoon Nemo and Creation's Gyre are practically already beaten, and Extiction's Vortex can be easily beaten by cyberstacking or having good LD units. So, Modern Cat will be unlocked 90% of the time for the average player, even Future Cat before An Ancient Curse, now take into account how long will Future Cat be used, he is (during that period) your best and only Relic meatshield, as for Cone Cat, most people will never get to use him due to lack of time, interest, or lack of good anti-surge / relic units like mentioned previously, so even though Cone Cat is clearly the better option, i think they are in the same spot if we consider accessibility. (I would do the same bible for Cat Cactus, but i'm Future Chris, not Carl Cactus or smth).
@@BestBuddyGamingshe’s basically axe cat against aku (she’s ok until you get cactus which does her job better in every way except against zombie, and cone cat which tanks more hits and has slow immune)
What about brainwashed cat? He's extremely good for black, aku and relic when tf. Really usefull cat. Also, where is suntan? Even if the price is high, the dodge chance is 50%!
I love for the angel one he said" for the angel trade I had a hard time picking from ramen cat and absolutely nobody else" it's funny to me because he had a hard time picking a contender
My opinion : Red : Maximum the fighter ( Courier Cat’d ) Floating : My bro cameraman Black : Lil Gao ( blud I don’t want Covid. ) Alien : Jetpack ( jetpack go broom broom broom. ) Starred Alien : catalite ( international space station ) Angel : Ramen Zombie : Shizong ( they gonna burrow be aware ) Metals : Future Cat ( you came from the future but your only good in the past. ) Relic : Cone head zombie Aku: cone head zombie Traitless : brainwashed eraser ( bro fell off ) Behemoth : Manic eraser ( what the hell ) Collosus : Manic eraser ( TWICEEEE????? ) Best overall meatshield : wallnut
If I had a nickel for every time a collab unit was an insanely good black meat shield I’d be making a Phineas and ferb reference (crystal gao is my goat)
I love watching videos about how to defend traits I haven't even had to really deal with. People describe beating cotc chapter 3 like it's just another moon while I'm still trying to beat itf chapter 3 and unlock the awakened bahamut
He forgot to factor how easy it is to get these units for example, jet pack needs is a reward from beating a brutal stage ( I think ) and catelite is just catfruit evo
For some reason Ramen is really good against the standard Mooth. In combination with a Cameraman and Necromancer they basically can stall it, which is neat at the beginning of the battle.
1:51 nah. Crystal Lil’ Gau Gau is immune to knock back so that’s my vote for best black meat shield. Only problem is that only god knows when that collab will come back for those who missed out.
Since those are subtraits they’re really hard to make a meatshield for all of them.. cone cat and jet pack cat ain’t gonna cut it, haniwa and bride cat are too specialized for general behemoths, and there are zero sage slayer meatshields. (I hope this isn’t a joke I didn’t get)
Anti-traitless has 3 different phases in my mind, early game where the only ones you’re getting are Ubers, then there is mid game with haniwa and the deadly advents, finally is endgame with the malevolent cats and other late game units
I disagree with Aku because cone’s health will get eaten up by surge with how common it is while cactus is immune to surge so they will survive better in the long run. I get stats matter but the meta and the traits signature abilities if they have them, like star aliens warping, should be taken account. And floating, there’s a collab unit, Takuya & Lovely Yuki from the Annihilation collab with decent stats or better than Gold bars. Decent vid.
it wont get eaten up. The only stage where that would happen would probably be some of the malevolents but from cone cats high hp, it doesnt really need surge immunity and i'd say better than cactus from its very high hp, speed, colossus slayer and targetting relics
Honestly, I would’ve preferred cadaver bear cat for zombie because I *THINK* it does more damage to zombie making it last a bit longer then shi gong, but I wouldn’t know since I don’t have neither EDIT: I would also prefer currier for red enemys because of speed, damage and other things
@@CorruptedMonke yes, yes they are spammable units with a decent hp :/ Plus I never said it should, I just preferred it that way because it was just my opinion

it's sad to see talented flying ninja cat wasn't mentioned either, it's basically an alternate bellydancer cat that can dodge attacks from red & black
5:21 I died internally when you said cactus cat initially.
YES YES YES YES YES BATTLE CATS VID!!!

0:55 Roe cough cough
Thats a tanker, not meatshield
@@fryinghardhat5152i actually agree
courier cat.
roe costs like 1,000 to send out that ain’t a meatshield
roe costs like 1,000 to send out that ain’t a meat shield
Don’t worry mister worker cat. You will have a place in my heart
0:38 bro what that’s a solid 3 slots as a large research combo to make be cat usable, where as haniwa cat is spammmable from the cut
But haniwa is pretty slow and will probably fall behind the other units
My opinion :
Red : Maximum the fighter ( Courier Cat’d )
Floating : My bro cameraman
Black : Lil Gao ( blud I don’t want Covid. )
Alien : Jetpack ( jetpack go broom broom broom. )
Starred Alien : catalite ( international space station )
Angel : Ramen
Zombie : Shizong ( they gonna burrow be aware )
Metals : Future Cat ( you came from the future but your only good in the past. )
Relic : Cone head zombie
Aku: cone head zombie
Traitless : brainwashed eraser ( bro fell off )
Behemoth : Manic eraser ( what the hell )
Collosus : Manic eraser ( TWICEEEE????? )
Best overall meatshield : wallnut
Soap cat is better for aliens, but he costs 1200 though
He’s a tank
2:30
Yooo!! I just discovered your video, and I love your channel! I subbed, and I hope to see you get famous someday bro 😎

Roe Cat: am i a joke to you?
Roe cat isn’t a meatsheild it’s a tank
@@sarcosuchusproductions5625 roe cat is still a meatshield, just a less spammable one.
help im watching this while playing battle cats and when he said floating I spawned fish man cat 😭
I knew you could make it I was watching when you did the roots pvz stuff that was going crazy a few months ago
Are you guys crazy? The best meat shield is obviously the one and only meditation cat!
I've been playing this game for 2 years and i still don't know the details of this every each of meat shield. Thanks for giving me some tips of it
Good video format and editing, can't wait for your voice to mature
since nono now has a true form, its really just up to preference which black meatshield you choose.
Do more battle cats videos, this was very good
I will
If I had a nickel for every time a collab unit was an insanely good black meat shield I’d be making a Phineas and ferb reference (crystal gao is my goat)
Nice video buddy
Double eraser goes crazy
Great video, you just earned another subscriber
"Real one"
imagine being a cat in the fucking future and gets outclassed by a cone
also real one
I love watching videos about how to defend traits I haven't even had to really deal with. People describe beating cotc chapter 3 like it's just another moon while I'm still trying to beat itf chapter 3 and unlock the awakened bahamut
He forgot to factor how easy it is to get these units for example, jet pack needs is a reward from beating a brutal stage ( I think ) and catelite is just catfruit evo
When you said black meat shields, all I thought was my cat no, no CC😅😅😅😅😅
Great video
When I saw this I thought
Yeah this is cool
BUT THEN I REALIZED IT WAS EARLY MORNING HUMOR
AND I ALREADY SUBBED 😭
real one. also great vid bud
I think soap cat could be a contender for best alien due to the health, resistance and weaken
He’s a tanker, not a meatshield
4:14 why does that cat have a pal sphere
1:50 the best black meatshield is actually lil crystal gau gau from princess punt collab with 2.2s recharge 300 cost and 80k health vs blacks
wish you considered behemoth and colossal enemies, good video other than that
Behemoth, haniwa
Colossus, cone/jetpack
*manic eraser cat has left the chat*
For some reason Ramen is really good against the standard Mooth. In combination with a Cameraman and Necromancer they basically can stall it, which is neat at the beginning of the battle.
Real one man
YOOO I GOT A HEARTTTTTT
1:51 nah. Crystal Lil’ Gau Gau is immune to knock back so that’s my vote for best black meat shield. Only problem is that only god knows when that collab will come back for those who missed out.
You forget best meatshields for Colossus, Behemoth, and Sage
Since those are subtraits they’re really hard to make a meatshield for all of them.. cone cat and jet pack cat ain’t gonna cut it, haniwa and bride cat are too specialized for general behemoths, and there are zero sage slayer meatshields. (I hope this isn’t a joke I didn’t get)
@averageidiot1612 it was supposed to be a joke, but still, good to know
This vid deserves more likes cuz of the jokes 💀👍
Anti-traitless has 3 different phases in my mind, early game where the only ones you’re getting are Ubers, then there is mid game with haniwa and the deadly advents, finally is endgame with the malevolent cats and other late game units
I would consider roe and octo, with research combos it isn't that long so you always have one in front
They’re tankers, not meatshields
@@TheGuy_0 with research combos you can send octo faster than shigong normally, way different than traditional tanks you occasionally send out
@@0broop0 Sure, but it’s still a tank, not a meatshield
@@0broop0 it gonna burn your cash really fast
real one, once again cool epic video!
Real one great vid
I disagree with Aku because cone’s health will get eaten up by surge with how common it is while cactus is immune to surge so they will survive better in the long run. I get stats matter but the meta and the traits signature abilities if they have them, like star aliens warping, should be taken account. And floating, there’s a collab unit, Takuya & Lovely Yuki from the Annihilation collab with decent stats or better than Gold bars. Decent vid.
it wont get eaten up. The only stage where that would happen would probably be some of the malevolents but from cone cats high hp, it doesnt really need surge immunity and i'd say better than cactus from its very high hp, speed, colossus slayer and targetting relics
Thx, rly helpful
REAL ONE! 🗣️🗣️
Honestly, I would’ve preferred cadaver bear cat for zombie because I *THINK* it does more damage to zombie making it last a bit longer then shi gong, but I wouldn’t know since I don’t have neither
EDIT: I would also prefer currier for red enemys because of speed, damage and other things
Do you not know what MEATSHIELDS are????
@@CorruptedMonke yes, yes they are spammable units with a decent hp :/
Plus I never said it should, I just preferred it that way because it was just my opinion
2:58
Miku cat also could be counted as a floating meatshield, they are basically an anti floating bellydancer cat.
Great vid, but lower the music and sound effects a lil bit, they're quite loud compared to ur voice
2:22 GUYS GUYS HE WAS GONNA SAY “eraser’s anti-black counterpart!!”
Haha.. yep.. definitely not uhh… yeah
Deep down, we all know the best meatshield is the Eraser trio. (Normal Eraser, Maniac Eraser, Lil' Eraser)
This video is for trait specific meatshields, and also rock better :3
eraser cat is a general meatshield, not an anti-trait meatshield.
Brainwashed Eraser?
2:22 yea but meatshield Is something to spam that dies instantly and spams quickly not a tank
I dont even have Nono except for Serum, Olga, Celesse and Fuu what a shame on me.

Red: -Roe Cat-

Floating: -Cameraman-
