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.
You know its really bad when Xskull not only puts the failure music from MKWii but also the failure giggle at the beginning. Mario Kart Wii ost is epic - Me when this video was Member Exclusive before it was deleted
@@olexoz1505 I am actually inhaling copium AND hopium as well bcoz I am still waiting for non-ubers to get UF/UT even tho I am pretty sure the chance of that happening is below 1 percent.
Even if they wanted to expand his tanker role rather than Wave Blocker he still sucks against starred aliens because he couldn't even get Warp Immune. He just gets juggled constantly 😭
The background music makes me imagine XSkull saying all of those things with the most bored and "done with everything" face imaginable, for some reason Like they were so dissapointed by the talents that all the joy left their body
I would go so far as to say the ultra talent of decreasing his time between attacks is a straight up nerf. The niche that Cat Machine tries to fill is being a tank and wave blocker that needs to stay in the front to be most effective. Having a long foreswing and small backswing means that decreasing the backswing even more makes Cat Machine even more flawed at what he should be doing. I already think most Ultra Talents are a joke for how many resources you need to even use them correctly, but this is simply embarrassing.
Okay, two things: 1. I'm glad someone knows how good the soundtrack of MKWii is. 2. Using those songs is like the most rosting thing ever to Machine Cat.
VIDEO REQUESTS!! I would LOVE to see some videos about full line ups for certain levels of a single trait!😁 like the best of the best, maybe 15, red or angel or Aku etc… cats to use! Like this is my line up for this stage and here’s why sort of things… Also would love to see your top 20 or so favorite cats! I have some I like I know are bad but I like em haha OR your “don’t change” lineup… I have a specific lineup I take into levels I’ve never played before. It mostly just has fast cats I like but your videos are Great and you are the only BattleCats guru I trust 😂😂
What I would do to fix his ultra talents would be to change the tba reduction to a lv.2 mini wave, and swap curse immunity to warp immunity, so his ultra talents synergize instead of doing their own thing
Fatmachine on his way to (still) spend 10 years charging up a nuclear death ray to completely obliterate a small rabbit or dog just for it to get knocked back by literally anything else (he now has to wait another 10 years to miss again)
Honestly the worst part about cat machine’s barrier breaker that no one’s mentioned is that it works for TWO ENEMIES because all other barriers get one shot, except for ultra baabaa and youcan
Do you know ponors specifically made TBA decrease for better wave blocking? It's not like left behind=not able to block waves, as long as you don't move over 332.5 range, the waves are still blocked. It means even the enemies kb one time, the waves are still blocked out and Cat machine works like a mid-range wave blocker with range 180-432.5 depending how much enemy moves. Also the huge increase in attack worths it. in a defensive situation it provide a ton of attack, and in a offensive situation it becomes a mid-range wave blocker.
Idk what music this is but the tone gives you the feel of this be a dysfunctional mechanical mess and upon reading his talents cat machine is indeed that.
I’m surprised UT ice cat is above Satoru, why is that? Satoru is one of the best aku cc units in the game, while Ice Cat has stiff competition from other ubers who benefit from darkeyes way more
I heard that music and I knew it was over. It was cut and dry. Just make him attack faster. That it. And they did it, but the idle instead of the attack animation. Bravo ponos.
arguably the only thing that is worth is the extra orb slot, which could theoretically make him much more bulkier, but yeah, I agree this is easily the worst NP and Darkeyes usage in the whole game
years ago when i was in early chapters this was my dream uber and i thought it was crazy good. sad to see Ponoa stomping it further down the drain with the shittiest ultra talents
Players: "hey PONOR we want faster animation for Cat Machine's talents." PONOS: "You want faster move speed as a talent? Caaaan do!" Players: Uh, no. Faster attack animation. His attack animation is too slow, he misses all the time." PONOS: "Ohhh, you mean faster attack cooldown! Yeah, we can do that." Players: .....
when papaluga ultra form with immunity to all debuffs, lvl 3 surge attack, lvl 7 wave attack. 500% dps increase, faster attack rate, 500k hp, barrier breaker, shield piercing, insane damage to all traits including metal and traitless, freeze for 10 seconds to all traits including metal and traitless and weaken all traits including metal to 0% for 15 seconds? He deserves it
ganesha UT and kinrangers talents review when 🙏 (im really tempted to get target red on kinrangers, hes one of my favorite ubers and curse against red is incredibly uncommon, im wondering if it has any viability, my first thought is deonil but it would have to be paired with octo, god that freeze is annoying)
Instead of making his tank role better (like add weaken to his attack as an example) they decided to give literally the worst possible ability for him. And why curse immunity? Even with this buff still no one will use him against relics. I think giving him weaken and wave attack would be pretty great and would benefit him a lot. Also warp immunity and more targets would be okay for him.
Cant wait for ponor to also give papaluga resist curse and barrier breaker 🤑🤑 Except instead of reduced tba they will give him something ACTUALLY useful like soulstrike or survive 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Maybe Fat Machine will be the first Uber with both Ultra Talents and an Ultra Form because 1.) That just makes sense and 2.) These talents are just so unbelievably not worth it.
My dreams: Mk4 is so cool guys, he has longer range and a faster foreswing, higher hp, curse immune and his design is also really sick! Reality: Uhhhh… overpriced qol change
So basically the only reason to get Cat Machine to level 60 is the stat boosts and second orb. IMO nowhere near worth the 15 dark cateyes Really a shame because they could’ve given Cat Machine something cool like a new trait target
i feel like giving cat machine ld or omnistrike would've helped his accuracy compared to tba reduction, tho idk how ponos would implement that as a talent.
Should’ve been UF and not UT. Also could’ve been perfect opportunity to make surge blocker so he can become insanely meta again, just like how he used to be the only wave blocker.
@@XskullDrSkull definitely. i feel like ultra talents should be for units who were already pretty decent and just needs some fine-tuning to keep them relevant, while ultra forms give units that are out-classed or unable perform well a second chance, like dioramos. cat machine definitely falls under the underperforming section.
hi,i have a question, in talent orbs what is the difference between Defence up and tough vs talet orb? Both looks like for defence but what is the difference?
Tough has better buff (25% dmg reduction) but only works if the unit already has the Tough ability. If the unit gets cursed, they will also lose the buffs from Tough Orb. On the other hand, Defense (20% dmg reduction) works on anyone and won't be removed by curse.
@@astablemultivibbrator8538 thanks man,for example my can can has alinen targeted,if i give him an orb that targets differenttrait such as massive damage up orb against relic,strong vs aku etc. Does it effects or should i give him only alien targetetd orbs?
@@kronos379If the unit doesn't have massive damage against aku in the first place, you cannot give it that type of orb. So Can Can can only use Defense or Attack because he does not have massive damage, strong, or resistant against any trait.
@@kronos379 No, it has to be Massive Damage against Black. Both the ability and the trait have to match. And just to be clear again, this restriction only applies to massive damage, strong, and resistant orbs. You can give attack and defense orb to anyone. Pizza can get Defense Red orb or Attack Floating orb, but not Massive Damage to Alien.
Yo i saw the community post that bug is mad scary ngl Fire song choice btw watching the vid rn Also i just pulled darktanyan and then balrog and checked my seed and in getting dark phono soon help (I also have dasli and phonoa)
i dont get whats the point of all this, average f2p can gain like 10 dark catseyes a year and thats if he plays labyrinth they just adding more and more ultra talents and forms when only p2w can afford them and even them wont get most of them only the good ones, they should make it easier to get them already

TL;DR:
Cat Machine Mk3 was confirmed to not get an Ultra Form, that's all.
That wasn't confirmed anywhere though? Eventually units with UT will get an UF.

This is probably Cat Machine's saddest day
Rooting for Cake Machine to redeem normal CM with a goated TF or some good talents
As the number 1 cat machine fan THEY DID MY BOY DIRTY RAAAAAAAAAAH
Fire song choice
So fire that it could burn down a landfill which is exactly how I’d describe his UT.

Question for everyone, when did you unlock your first true form, I am in moon chapter 1 itf, only one mid uber
How did we go from this to cat 8 behemoth to this
Of all Ubers why cat machine has to get the short end of the stick? Personally, I like this Uber and is sad to see
I know i migjt sound dumb, but whats the differences between Talents and Ultra Talents?
Ultra talents are only unlocked when certain units are at level 60, unlike normal talents that only need true forms to be unlocked.
Fat machine's talents are worse than Nobiluga's.
Clap clap clap
How and where does one get enough dark cats eyes to ultra form more than 1 unit??? Without spending rl money!!??😮💨
