The Battle Cats - ZL10: Stratospheric Pathway / 異空行路の先に!!
00:00 - Permission to Land / 自由への上陸地
The second Sage enemy appears: Sage Doge. It’s just another tank-type doge, nothing dangerous. For comparison, he is slightly weaker than Shibalien Elite. As exchange, he gains debuff resistance (which means nothing because who wants to debuff him) and has small chance of Freeze (mostly to counter tanker unit)
Other than being Sage Doge introduction, the stage is just generic Doberman stage. So any good tanker/anti-Wave should be able to shut it down. I recommend to rush one Calamari so it won’t give you trouble later.
Recommended Uber/Legend Rare:
1. Anti-Wave unit. Ex: Keiji, Akira, Eyewaltz, Cat Machine, Emma, etc
2. Strong melee unit. Ex: Balrog, Baby Cats, Kai, Kozuchimaru, etc

01:53 - Steps Great and Small / 大いなる小さき一歩
Now way! Aku and Henry stage?! That sounds dangerous. If only we have a meatshield that’s both resistant to Aku and immune to Freeze. That would be very convenience, wouldn’t it?
Recommended Uber/Legend Rare:
1. Freeze Immune unit. Ex: Cyclops TF, Baby Cats, Chronos, Sirius, etc
2. Midrange rusher. Ex: Saber Alter, Poseidon, Kalisa, Li’l Valkyrie, etc

04:22 - Burger Garden / ビッグバーガーガーデン
You know, whenever PONOS creates Star-Alien heavy stage, it always ends up with huge mess. This stage doesn’t have harmony. Literally just spam large number of Star Peng multiple Alien boss and expect you survive that. It makes sense why the bullshittery is so strong here because this stage is supposed to be showcase room for Aer Ultra Form. An artificially difficult stage to make him looks more worthy.
So what should you do here? Just throw every anti-Alien you have and expect they could make it out. Your key unit is Seafarer. Once he loses the control on the field, you will die. No comeback.
Recommended Uber/Legend Rare:
1. Anti-Alien Killer. Ex: Bora, Aphrodite, Akira, Ganglion, Mekako, etc
2. Wave Blocker unit. Ex: Cat Machine, Emma, Eva00, Pandora, etc

06:35 - Small Inlet, Large Field / 大草原の小さな入り江
Standard peons and backliner stage. It might be intended as endurance battle by chipping down the backliner slowly. But PONOS used too much peons here. You can simply use them as Jellyfish bait and rush the process.
Recommended Uber/Legend Rare:
1. Super Backliner. Ex: Aphrodite, Luffalan, Cosmo, Dark Phonoa, etc

08:29 - Bubbly Dream / バブリー感ドリーム
Subdue the first Li’l Angel Cyclone and you win. Stupid-ass stage.
=======
09:27 - Prairie Harbor / グレートプレーリー港
Another new Sage enemy: Megamiel. It’s Angel version of Loris. He has slightly more powerful combat stats but loses standing range. The most dangerous aspect is his debuff ability. It’s 100% chance of perma-Slow. Basically, Megamiel is a copy of Croackley with smaller blindspot to work with. And as predicted, this enemy is made to make Socrates Cat relevant. Socrates Cat can invade the blindspot, can’t be perma-slowed, and inflict Freeze debuff to help other allies. He is no longer useless unit. Good for him.
In this stage, he will be paired with St. Doberman and multiple Goku Otter. It’s not a big deal. The boss battle doesn’t start until one minute since you enter the stage so you have a lot of time to stack anti-Angel CC. Add 1-2 DPS unit to repel Sage Doge, and you’re done here.
