really good true form, it just strenghtens his most important stats without adding anything weird. Good Job PONOS but also calm down you're making the game too easy 💀
@@InsertFunnyThingHeretbf, getting to and beating floor 50 of infernal tower is probably top 3 hardest things in battle cats imo, so esoteric uril is fine tho a bit overtuned. Slime tf is absolutely fucking nuts and I can't believe they put it behind 2 stages are that are 1. The same as the original stage without cat combos, and 2. Easier than both prior stages. Maybe this is their wake up call to make zl harder
While I was hoping for a lethal strike survive or wave/surge immunity or something, this true form is sick. He can be use in basically any situation now.
To me, I don't mind the op af true forms, or powercreep in any regard really. Battle cats at it's core is not a competitive game. I like seeing stuff that was considered impossible become easier, it makes the game more accessible and fun for people who don't have the time, patience or ability to use them. I, for example, would rather use an op unit to get past a stage I am stuck on than grind away lots of time that I could invest otherwise. Especially since if I feel like doing a stage the old difficult way, I can just not use the new op stuff. For me it's a win win situation
Totally agree. If i feel like the games too easy, i can just remove uril from my lineup and use yoshimoto. But goddamn u best believe i aint gonna complain if i can just get pp souls 3 stars over with easily thanks to these true forms
The only issue powercreep causes to everyone is that it makes it so the meta shifts to revolve around that certain unit. Courier is a perfect example. Because he is a monster against early behemoth enemies and incredibly easy to unlock, he’s made every future behemoth have mountains of HP so they don’t get absolutely destroyed by him. However, this means that you pretty much have to Courier because no one else can dish out enough damage like that. In a tower defense game, variety keeps them alive and powercreep can sometimes decrease the variety of units used in levels
I love how this true form gets a premiere despite just being a normal unit, not even like a legend rare, just a normal guy. Anyway, slime true form is so cool, everything i could've wanted is here, very great buffs for my favourite unit in the game
The image of Manju sniping Gardeneel from halfway across the map with it's wave and onetapping it instantly really says everything you need to know about how cracked this guy is
They unfortunately haven’t been doing that so far, but soon we will be entering mid ZL and maybe crowned ZL. Looking forward to mega boosted advent bosses.
one more thing great about the range increase is that in niche situations jelly dumpling can survive longer where slime could not, potentially allowing it to get off more attacks
Well, don't be surprized to find out that ponos adds an enemy with wave block. It would only be fair, since we already have multiple cats with wave blocking.
They went so overboard with slimes tf and I’m so happy because it’s literally in like 99% of all my lineups, probably is the same for everyone else. It’s gotta be like a top 10 or 5 unit in the game now
This is one of those units like True form Uril that I had no idea was stupidly overpowered until seeing an Xskull review, and will now be crammed into all my loadouts. Thanks Battle Cats Dad
I kinda love and hate the slime cat true form at the same time The speed buff is a really cool buff but not a huge fan of the amount of new stepping stones he’s given. It dumbs him down super hard. What I loved about slime cat was that he was a low investment and high reward unit that required you to understand the matchups and timing to maximize the value. He still keeps the low investment and high reward… not so much the latter
If this was slime’s true form, imagine what rock cat’s true form will be… And it’ll be equally as obtainable due to the stage being easy as hell anyway, unless ponos adds another batshit insane restriction like doremi.
I feel it should also be noted that due to the range increase, jelly now outranges a massive amount more enemies. Before it wasnt uncommon for gory, kang roo, otter and variants of such units to get a singular hit with their fast attack speeds. Now though, jelly outranges most of them and the few he doesnt he is only 10 or so range behind, which gives a very small area for the enemy to hit jelly before he gets the attack off.
Slime Cat has ascended beyond what anyone thought was possible. Now all we gotta do is wait 5 years for ponos to add advent ultra forms where slime cat gets a 60% damage increase and a level 10 wave.
No, it gets level 10 wave, rebound attack, guaranteed survive, 250 range, 30 speed, and 50% chance of savage blow. Also slow against every trait. Who cares about balance anyways right?
still waiting for daliasan true form 😪 jokes aside, this is one of the most deserved T forms in the game. An already beast of a unit becoming even more broken than before (somehow) and powercreeping everything into oblivion

It's the only reason Ponos has been releasing these true forms for these Merciless Cats. I bet Phantom Cat is the next one to get their true form.
This is an objectively phenomenal tf, but I can't help but feel that this removes some of the fun with slime cat. Actually requiring a modicum of skill (even if he was still sorta easy to use) made slime fun, and making him completely braindead just sorta removes some of that excitement lol. I'm hoping for fewer tfs in the future to go this route because it just doesn’t really make for interesting gameplay imo.
I'm not gonna shut anyone down for thinking this is a good thing, obviously, but historically, I think powercreep has always made more levels uninteresting chores instead of the thoughtful challenges they should be.

Many, many players have lil erasers that are far worse because getting a maxed lil cat is a pain (i have mine maxed but still) taking into account the entire game, eraser is much more useful. Not taking into account accessibility would be a crime here lol. As for Dasli, shes not no. 1, Id say top 10, but if I had to play the game without dasli vs without meraser/eraser id choose to give up dasli any day of the week (i dasli carry a lot btw) she is super busted as a generalist obviously, but other specialists can replicate her damage against their targets, same with phonoa. Meanwhile, literally 99.9% of stages manic eraser is very useful, and eraser is almost as irreplicable. Picture playing through the game without the erasers, it would be extremely painful, meanwhile, people (especially people who use ubers) play though the game with no issues with no dasli. There are no meatshields that can replicate what the erasers do, and while no ubers can replicate the capabilities of dasli and phonoa, many ubers (and special legends for that matter) can replace them and perform good enough to win, which is all that matters in the end. Will it be harder without their hard carry? Yes. But with specialist ubers and the right lineups, dasli and phonoas feats can be replicated. There is no lineup or alternate strategy that can replace the erasers. I'll admit eraser falls off end game a bit, meraser is still just as good though. Considering you get eraser for clearing the first stage in the game, and hes near essential for 95% of the game after that, I think being in no 2 is fair. An argument could be made for putting eraser lower and I'd accept that, somewhere top 5 or high top 10 would still be reasonable taking into account end game falloff. Meraser is indisputably no 1 for me though. Thats my opinion anyways, its a funny cat game so you can think what you want I think we can agree that all of these cats are busted at least lol
I think balance of slime tf would be fine if like Uril, it would essentially require UL true forms to get unless one resorted to cyber and sniper stack or had superfeline tf. That way UL still retains some of its difficulty, but starred UL won’t be so cancerous. ZL was already pretty easy even without Uril tf and slime tf so I don’t really care if the already easy stages get easier. If anything, it might make ponos make ZL actually difficult.
New ability: wave and surge blocking surge (surge stays for a lot longer but does piss damage and blocks all wave attacks and surges that land on or behind it.)
@@XskullDrSkull Imagine if they made a Uber unit with like 2 damage at level 30 and 4 damage at level 60, but then had like a million HP, low costs and all resistance/immunity. Basically making an eraser cat on crack.
So, slime becomes a sniper rifle, got it. Tbh if the only thing Slime TF added was wave and surge immunity it still would have been a huge powerspike. But what do we have instead? A railgun incarnate.
Phamtom will become cracked, supercat will become cracked, rock cat will get more cracked, ponos will fumble the bag when designing komuso TF, tea master will get cracked.
@@determinedentity that would make rock littertly unstoppable tho. It would mean he would be able to stall any enemy forever and can solo all stages which is something even dasli cant even think of doing so yeah that's a bit too much lol. Maybe they will make rock cat weaken enemies or something.
Tbh, compared to stuff like quarterback, colonel sanders and british ( and maybe medusa) this is an actually tame buff imo. The problem was that slime was obviously a unit who was just at the edge of being balanced and broken. And since true forms generally give at leat one buff to a unit, we kinda should've known what would be happening on this time. Oh and I literally rember that people like Markiquad and Canned juice had just called this true form "good" not "OP" so I guess this shit is just going to be like courier's.
Best cat is really difficult to rank because it can either be based off hard carry or pure versatility. I would probably choose versatility methodology from which Slime might rank top 5.
Just unlocked the true form 52 minutes before the stage closes, hell yeah time to break the game Though I am a little concerned about what stages Ponos is gonna design with true form slime in mind, are we about to head into hyper-backliner hell lol Ah well I'm only at UL12(been lazy) so I get to break those stages at least
stage is genuinely impossible, everyone talking about kill the bee before slepneir spawns when the rain d is immortal beat it 30 minutes later, if you ever see me complaining about a stage its cuz i’ll always magically beat it immediately after
I used to think I’d never even have slime cat when he first came out because I sucked at the game but now I have him and I’d say I have a decent chance to get his tf
I spent 15 rare tickets for NP slow resist, 10 super rare catseyes and millions of xp to level up roe to complete this stage, along with multiple leaderships and rich cats but I finally got jelly dumpling true form 😭
@XskullDrskull if you were to design slime’s TF, what would you do? Even though the one we have is powerful, it’s basically just old slime but better in most ways. I was thinking about this and I thought it would be fun if the TF was a side-grade, similar to the dark heroes banner. What if slime lost all their damage but gained the ability to proc knock back on all targets? Maybe tweak the numbers to make it more balanced, but it would mean that you could choose between the two when dealing with hard pushers or bulky backliners like jones variants.
Kasli the Bane is a very powerful unit when it comes to stats. The combination of high health and 5 knockbacks leads to her staying alive for a long time when summoned. Thanks to the powerful Surge, she is also able to deliver high and consistent damage to midrangers and backliners, such as Le'noir and R.Ost, while also intercepting incoming peons and keeping enemies that are extremely easy to knockback at bay, such as Gory variants, Brollow, Rain D. and Mr. Puffington. Lastly, she can even be used for "base trapping": if you have her hit a base and trigger a boss wave, her Surge will instantly hit and severely cripple anything that comes out, sometimes making a massive difference. Just remember that due to her blindspot and most of her damage being concentrated in the surge, she will not perform too well against Zombies, short ranged pushers like Bore or One Horn, as well as surge-immune enemies. However, a tanky unit can cover her blind spot, making her usage even more viable. Damage isn't all she has though: her Curse ability lets her disable enemies' Knockback, Slow, Freeze, Weaken, Warp, Curse, Dodge Attack and Toxic abilities. Since it has good uptime, this makes her even more useful against enemies with annoying abilities like Super Metal Hippoe, Li'l Doge, Crazed Axe Cat, Henry, Winged Pigge, Gobble, Heavenly Herald Papuu, Bakoo and all Relics. There are, however, rare instances in which her Curse ability can be counterproductive, such as against some units with Warp, who would become unable to warp any attackers they reach to safety. This is most notable against Final Boss Giga God. Her immunities to Wave Attacks, Warp, Curse, Weaken and Surges further help her with the threat posed by such abilities, especially in Uncanny Legends, Cats of the Cosmos and The Aku Realms where they are prominently active. Overall, she's an extremely powerful unit that holds her edge all the way into the endgame and has almost no drawbacks.

There is no lineup or alternate strategy that can replace the erasers.
I'll admit eraser falls off end game a bit, meraser is still just as good though. Considering you get eraser for clearing the first stage in the game, and hes near essential for 95% of the game after that, I think being in no 2 is fair. An argument could be made for putting eraser lower and I'd accept that, somewhere top 5 or high top 10 would still be reasonable taking into account end game falloff. Meraser is indisputably no 1 for me though.
Thats my opinion anyways, its a funny cat game so you can think what you want
I think we can agree that all of these cats are busted at least lol
I think balance of slime tf would be fine if like Uril, it would essentially require UL true forms to get unless one resorted to cyber and sniper stack or had superfeline tf. That way UL still retains some of its difficulty, but starred UL won’t be so cancerous. ZL was already pretty easy even without Uril tf and slime tf so I don’t really care if the already easy stages get easier. If anything, it might make ponos make ZL actually difficult.
ZL better become crazy hard because our unit collection can beat basically every stage archetype out there.
MY BOY’S ALL GROWN UP
it raises the question, does not beg the question
New ability: wave and surge blocking surge (surge stays for a lot longer but does piss damage and blocks all wave attacks and surges that land on or behind it.)
Mommy (Izanami) is coming to BCEN soon!
Hype
real and true
i kinda like when ponos give us insane powercreep because it forces them to come up with new enemies and abilities and keeps the game fresh
Slime is so strong they have no other buffs beside make them easier to play. Thanks Ponos lmao
I feel like if the cats could talk, the first thing that slime cat would say after realizing how OP his new form is "I. AM. GOD."
Love the new true form, now here’s hoping Idi gets a true form
I predict for v14.0
@@XskullDrSkull Imagine if they made a Uber unit with like 2 damage at level 30 and 4 damage at level 60, but then had like a million HP, low costs and all resistance/immunity. Basically making an eraser cat on crack.
Just got the true form! GRVI literally beat the BE BEE level by himself hahah
Just imagining stone cat with a tf now, probably "avalanche cat" where they explode when hitting enemy
Rock Cat True form next! Old Emperor needs a redemption arc!
It's so funny how he talks about this unit like a chosen one prophecy coming to reality as if he wasn't a jelly dumpling
Ooo I’m a silly jelly dumpling just bouncing around, totally not going to obliterate the meta that was established for the past 4 or so years.
So, slime becomes a sniper rifle, got it.
Tbh if the only thing Slime TF added was wave and surge immunity it still would have been a huge powerspike. But what do we have instead? A railgun incarnate.
You Kept our promise, thanks dude.
Boomerang got cracked, Cossack got cracked, Slime became even more cracked, given the pattern
How will Phantom improve?
Phamtom will become cracked, supercat will become cracked, rock cat will get more cracked, ponos will fumble the bag when designing komuso TF, tea master will get cracked.
@@TaseenAlim maybe rock cat will linger more in place
@@determinedentity that would make rock littertly unstoppable tho. It would mean he would be able to stall any enemy forever and can solo all stages which is something even dasli cant even think of doing so yeah that's a bit too much lol. Maybe they will make rock cat weaken enemies or something.
Tbh, compared to stuff like quarterback, colonel sanders and british ( and maybe medusa) this is an actually tame buff imo. The problem was that slime was obviously a unit who was just at the edge of being balanced and broken. And since true forms generally give at leat one buff to a unit, we kinda should've known what would be happening on this time.
Oh and I literally rember that people like Markiquad and Canned juice had just called this true form "good" not "OP" so I guess this shit is just going to be like courier's.
We need an updated top 5 best cats list now
Best cat is really difficult to rank because it can either be based off hard carry or pure versatility. I would probably choose versatility methodology from which Slime might rank top 5.
Just unlocked the true form 52 minutes before the stage closes, hell yeah time to break the game
Though I am a little concerned about what stages Ponos is gonna design with true form slime in mind, are we about to head into hyper-backliner hell lol
Ah well I'm only at UL12(been lazy) so I get to break those stages at least
stage is genuinely impossible, everyone talking about kill the bee before slepneir spawns when the rain d is immortal
beat it 30 minutes later, if you ever see me complaining about a stage its cuz i’ll always magically beat it immediately after
I used to think I’d never even have slime cat when he first came out because I sucked at the game but now I have him and I’d say I have a decent chance to get his tf
Update: I got him lmaoo
13:28 *Uril solos Relic Bee revenge with only erasers*
XSkull: Uril is ruining this game (LMAO)
Its funny how some people genuinely think that Slime did not get enough buffs
Never heard of this but whoever these people are, they are wrong.
I spent 15 rare tickets for NP slow resist, 10 super rare catseyes and millions of xp to level up roe to complete this stage, along with multiple leaderships and rich cats but I finally got jelly dumpling true form 😭
@XskullDrskull if you were to design slime’s TF, what would you do? Even though the one we have is powerful, it’s basically just old slime but better in most ways.
I was thinking about this and I thought it would be fun if the TF was a side-grade, similar to the dark heroes banner. What if slime lost all their damage but gained the ability to proc knock back on all targets? Maybe tweak the numbers to make it more balanced, but it would mean that you could choose between the two when dealing with hard pushers or bulky backliners like jones variants.
Rare castaway lategame usage spotted!!!!
It's already fairly strong situationally and now it's just freaking broken oh my god
Calling it now every new enemy is getting wave immune from now on
Gotta love how 2 of the best merciless advent rare cats are just objects
can't wait for slime to get every immunity in the game through normal and ultra talents
you know shit is serious when xskull swears
OH GOD THE UNEXPECTANCY SONG
Can't wait for boulder cat true form
5:13 nice thunderbolt lol
Yeah… we’ll definitely be paying the price for this mostrosity somewhere down the line like we did with courier and behemoths
Powercreep is just an arms race.
Haven't even finished SOL COTC2, last unit I got was Musashi, already have slime TF...
Since we already got enemies with a surge counter, I guess it's time to get a new sage enemy with wave blocker
Oh! Slime cat having a busted true form! How unexpected, and by unexpected I mean COMPLETELY EXPECTED!!!!!!
15:14 the stupid bottom of the swamp reward is haunting me again...
now i can see jelly dumpling cat in 4k
Thank god he didnt get immune to
curse or slow resist
Debuff resist abilities are talents only so we are safe.
@@XskullDrSkull really? i wouldnt be too surprised if he got that for talents, if he ever gets talents of course
Easiest advent stage ever didn't even have to look at a guide
The Pizza Tower Ost with Battle cats is pure gold
Kasli the Bane is a very powerful unit when it comes to stats. The combination of high health and 5 knockbacks leads to her staying alive for a long time when summoned. Thanks to the powerful Surge, she is also able to deliver high and consistent damage to midrangers and backliners, such as Le'noir and R.Ost, while also intercepting incoming peons and keeping enemies that are extremely easy to knockback at bay, such as Gory variants, Brollow, Rain D. and Mr. Puffington. Lastly, she can even be used for "base trapping": if you have her hit a base and trigger a boss wave, her Surge will instantly hit and severely cripple anything that comes out, sometimes making a massive difference. Just remember that due to her blindspot and most of her damage being concentrated in the surge, she will not perform too well against Zombies, short ranged pushers like Bore or One Horn, as well as surge-immune enemies. However, a tanky unit can cover her blind spot, making her usage even more viable.
Damage isn't all she has though: her Curse ability lets her disable enemies' Knockback, Slow, Freeze, Weaken, Warp, Curse, Dodge Attack and Toxic abilities. Since it has good uptime, this makes her even more useful against enemies with annoying abilities like Super Metal Hippoe, Li'l Doge, Crazed Axe Cat, Henry, Winged Pigge, Gobble, Heavenly Herald Papuu, Bakoo and all Relics. There are, however, rare instances in which her Curse ability can be counterproductive, such as against some units with Warp, who would become unable to warp any attackers they reach to safety. This is most notable against Final Boss Giga God.
Her immunities to Wave Attacks, Warp, Curse, Weaken and Surges further help her with the threat posed by such abilities, especially in Uncanny Legends, Cats of the Cosmos and The Aku Realms where they are prominently active.
Overall, she's an extremely powerful unit that holds her edge all the way into the endgame and has almost no drawbacks.
Hello everybody my name is Markiplier and welcome to Five Nights at Freddies, an indie horror game that you guys suggested in mass, and I saw that Yamimash played it and he said that it was really really good; so I’m very eager to see what is up - and that is a terrifying animatronic bear *reads off script* family pizzeria looking for security guard to work the night shift. Oh, 12:00 A.M, the first night. If I didn’t want to stay the first night, why would I stay any more than five? Why would I say anymore than two - hello. Okay...Hello? Hello - oh, ah I can’t move. That’s a creepy skull...There’s creepy things on the wall - Oh, hello. *Phone Guy begins dialogue* “Hello, hello hello,” Hi! “Uh, I wanted to record a message for you, to help you get settled in on your first night.” Eugh.. “Um, I actually worked in that office before you, and I’m finishing up my last week now as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming..” Euuagh..! “But I’m here to tell you, there’s nothing to worry about,” Agh.. “You’ll do fine! So, let’s just focus on getting you through your first week..” Okay! Sounds go- “Ah, let’s see..First there’s an introductory greeting from the company that I’m supposed to read - i-it’s kind of a legal thing, you know, ahm - ‘Welcome to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza-” Okay “‘..A magical place for kids and grownups alike-” *Mark wheezes indistinctly in the background* Heheha.. “..Where fantasy and fun come to life,” Eugha..! “”Freddy Fazbear entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person, upon discovering that damage or death has occured, a missing person report will be filed within ninety days or as soon as property and premises had been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpet’s have been replaced,’ blah blah blah - now that might sound bad, I know, but-” Yeah! “-There’s really nothing to worry about! Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No, if I was forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years, and I never got a bath, I’d probably be a bit irritable at night too. So just remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children, and you need show them a little respect, Right?” Okay! “-Okay-” Ha-okay! “So just be aware, the characters fo tend to wander a bit-” Nehaheugh- “They’re one some kinda of free-roaming mode-” hehauhuhugh! “Uhh.. Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for two long,” Oohoohoo- “Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day, too, but then there was the bite of eighty-seven.”
Outclasses by aer
No. Not this time. Slime IS a very powerful unit.
Outclassed by dark
Schizo Kaslipasta comments always make me giggle
Bro pulling out the swears for the hype, worth it and also we got a new trade meta with jelly boi and annoing relic peon that kills everything
the real issue is how does ponos make good tfs for advents but cant make good UT's make this make sense
Baby Cat and Dioramos tho
I mean, the UT's are good, they just aren't worth it
@@Tekkonecko brother half the UT's are meaningless and add nothing in that ubers kit theres a long long list of bad UT's
Since they have been adding true forms to merciless advent cats lately I wonder if there will be a true form for rock cat soon
Is it just me or his windup animation is also slightly shorter ?
It’s the same, it probably feels faster because more range lets him attack consistently.
@@XskullDrSkull yup, I compared it, ur right -_-
No gacha strategies are fading out of existence due to said no gacha units being better than most gacha units
Eventually uber carry strats are going to be treated as challenges due to being harder than no gacha lmao
Ponos on their way to buff already broken cats but not ones that need it (still cool tho cant complain for a free buff :3)
im still waiting and ill stay determined. where is my huge hermit true form review??
Got this bad boy on the first day his true form came out and then I got his true form the next day yay
My babbling about the game getting easier and the strong units getting easier to play and more global counters (basically OP units being generalists) on your legends ranking just got much more relevant... At least slime used to be skilled
Thanks Ponor for proving my point.
THATS OUR G.O.A.T.
This guy and Uril make me really scared for what they’re gonna do with Idi and Jaggy true forms
I predict Socrates powercreep.
@XskullDrSkull I can't see idi theming wise becoming Socrates power creep, probably just gonna give her sage slayer and call it a day.
Jaggy on the other hand is a literal demon, all my money into him becoming the anti christ to sages
next update: rock cat's true form with 95% defense uptime
So cuteeee❤
Jelly cat was a cat that just needed a true form
He didn’t need it, but he did it anyway. Truly overkill.
@@XskullDrSkull That golden cover over him just feels right though
