Yo, Check it! How to Crush 'Las Vegas (Into the Future) Chapter 1' Like a Boss!
Alright, listen up, you aspiring feline commanders! You’ve made it outta the cozy confines of the Empire of Cats and now you're staring down the bright, neon, totally-gonna-mess-you-up lights of Las Vegas in the "Into the Future" chapter. This ain't your grandma's bingo hall; this is where the Alien baddies start to get seriously rowdy. We're talkin' beefed-up creeps that hit harder than a Monday morning. But don't you sweat it, fam. We're gonna drop the ultimate playbook, the kind of strat that’ll make you feel like you just hit the jackpot.
First off, let's get one thing straight, if you didn't snag those Superior Treasures back in the Empire of Cats, you are already playing life on Hard Mode. Go back and get 'em! Seriously, those things are the cheat codes of this game. Think of them as your catnip-laced secret weapon.
Step 1: Gearing Up – Your Squad is Your Vibe
Before you even think about hitting that ‘Start’ button, you gotta make sure your line-up is absolutely fire. This stage, "Las Vegas," is notorious for throwing down with some seriously pumped-up Alien and Black enemies. We're talking about the infamous Shadow Boxer K (SBK). This dude is faster than a cheetah on espresso and hits like a truck, so you gotta be prepared.
1.1 The Meatshield Militia: Keeping it Tight You’re gonna need at least four cheap, fast-spawning defense units, often lovingly called 'meatshields.' These cats are the true heroes, the MVPs who take one for the team. Think of them as the bouncers for your heavy-hitters. Max out their level if you can.
Macho Cat (or Li'l Macho if you’ve got him boosted)
Wall Cat (or Li'l Wall)
Crazed Cat (if you've unlocked him, he's a game-changer!)
A third or fourth cheap, fast option (like a high-level Samba Cat or even the True Form of Tank Cat if you're rocking it).
1.2 The Damage Dealers: Bring the Boom You need cats that can drop a serious amount of damage and preferably out-range the Black and Alien annoyances.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Paris Cat (or Cameraman Cat in its True Form) is a classic for a reason. Great Area Attack DPS.
Dragon Cat is always a solid pick for long-range damage. Get him to max level, trust me.
Anti-Black Powerhouses: If you have units that are Strong Against or Massive Damage to Black enemies (like maybe a True Form Gross Cat or an Anti-Black Uber Rare), this is the time to flex.
1.3 The Endgame Closer: The Big Cat on Campus You must bring Bahamut Cat. He’s the ace up your sleeve, the big dog, the unit you save for the clutch moments when you need to send a message. Make sure he's at Level 20.
Step 2: Money Moves – Get That Cash Flowin'
This stage loves to starve you of cash in the beginning, so your early game is all about that paper.
2.1 Initial Deployment: The Art of the Sacrifice At the start, you'll see a couple of Mooths (those giant, purple, snail-like Aliens) shambling toward your base. Do not panic and spam. Let them get close, almost to the base itself. This is counter-intuitive, but it saves you cash! Send out just one of your cheap meatshields occasionally to slow them down a tiny bit.
2.2 Farming the Floaters: Raking in the Dough Once the Mooths are attacking your base (and your base is taking minimal damage, thanks to its high HP from those sweet, sweet treasures!), start deploying your Dragon Cat and other ranged attackers (like Paris Cat) to knock them out. Every time a Mooth goes down, you're gonna see your bank account skyrocket. This is your window to max out your Worker Cat level. Seriously, don't forget to upgrade the Worker Cat. Money is power, baby!
Step 3: The SBK Smackdown – Dealing with the Main Event
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
Around the 30-second mark, or shortly after you hit the enemy base, the Shadow Boxer K (that mean-mugging Black Kangaroo) is gonna spawn. This is the stage's true test. Fail this, and you're getting knocked out faster than a lightweight in the main event.

3.1 The Meatshield Wall: Hold the Line Now you start the real meatshield spam. Deploy your four fast defenders constantly. Keep the pressure on! Their job is to keep the SBK and his friends from closing the distance on your valuable damage dealers.
3.2 Bahamut's Baptism: Unleash the Fury As soon as you have enough money and a good meatshield wall established, deploy your Bahamut Cat. His attack range is dope, and his sheer damage output is usually enough to take the SBK out in one or two good hits. Timing is everything here, so watch for your opening.
3.3 The Mid-Range Mashup: Keep 'em Busy Keep deploying your mid-range Area Attackers (Paris, Dragon, etc.). Their job is to clear the smaller filler enemies (Doge, Snache, Gory) and chip away at the SBK and the enemy base. If you have an Anti-Alien Uber or a stunner, drop that cat like it’s hot!
Step 4: Base Bashing – Closing the Deal
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
Once the initial SBK is toast, the stage gets way easier, but you can't get complacent. More enemies, including more SBKs, will spawn as the fight progresses.
4.1 The Perpetual Push: Never Let Up Maintain a constant stream of your meatshields and keep pushing your damage dealers forward. The key to "Into the Future" is controlling the battlefield and not letting the enemy build up a massive wave.
4.2 Final Blows: Finish Him! When you’ve cleared the immediate wave and the enemy base is exposed, hit it with everything you’ve got left! Re-deploy Bahamut if his cooldown is up. The last thing you want is for the enemy base to hang on by a thread while a fresh wave of nightmares rolls in. Keep that finger on the button and deliver the final KO. Congrats, fam, you just beat Vegas! Time to collect your Poker Chips (Treasure) and get that sweet, sweet XP.
FAQ Questions and Answers
How to get Superior Treasures for Into the Future? You need to go back to the Empire of Cats chapters and replay the stages until you get the Superior rank for all the listed treasures in that chapter. It might take a few tries, so be patient and use Treasure Radar if you’re desperate.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
How to deal with the Shadow Boxer K's speed? The best way is to use a non-stop wave of cheap, fast-spawning meatshields to constantly block and slow him down, allowing your longer-range, high-damage cats to hit him from a distance.
How to level up my Worker Cat faster? You level up the Worker Cat by clicking the 'Worker Cat' icon on the battle screen's lower left (it looks like a little cat with a hard hat). You need to spend cash in battle to upgrade his level, which in turn increases your cash inflow rate.
How to know when to deploy Bahamut Cat? Wait until the enemy pusher (like the SBK) is engaged with a strong meatshield line, and you have enough money. Deploy him when he can land his attack without being immediately targeted and taken out.
How to save cash in the beginning of the stage? Don't deploy units until the enemy (Mooths) are practically at your base. This allows your Worker Cat to gather the maximum amount of starting funds before you start spending.
How to beat the Mooths quickly? Use units with good range and area attack that can target Aliens, like Dragon Cat and Paris Cat. Their high damage will take out the Mooths, which are a huge source of cash.
How to unlock Crazed Cats for a better defense? Crazed Cat stages appear on specific days of the month as special 'A-Bomb' stages. You need to clear these tough stages to unlock the Crazed versions of your basic cats.
How to tell if a unit is Anti-Black or Anti-Alien? Look at the unit's description and stats in the Cat Guide. It will explicitly state if the unit has abilities like "Strong Against," "Massive Damage," or "Stops" enemies of a specific trait (like Alien or Black).
How to maximize my cat’s levels? You need Cat Tickets (for Basic Cats) and XP (for all other cats). Focus on maxing out your basic cats to Level 20 + as many plus levels as you can get, as they are crucial meatshields.
How to handle multiple enemy pushes at once? Maintain a tight defense line with meatshields and prioritize taking out the most dangerous threat first (usually the SBK). Use your Cat Cannon to knock back or damage the enemy line if it gets too close to your damage dealers.
