The Strip's Secret Sauce: A Hilarious Guide to Crushing Las Vegas (Aku Realm)
Yo, listen up! You've made it to the neon-drenched, enemy-infested 45th stage of the Aku Realms: Las Vegas. This ain't your grandma's bingo night. This is The Battle Cats at its most manic, throwing everything but the kitchen sink—and probably a few kitchen appliances—at your brave little army. You're dealing with Gobbles, Aku Doges, Sinner Snaches, and the absolute party pooper, Bore Jr.
It's a hot mess, folks. But don't sweat it. We’re gonna turn this smoky casino into a victory parade. Grab your catnip coffee and let’s get this bread. Time to show these Aku fiends that what happens in Vegas... gets utterly annihilated!
Step 1: Ditching the Tourist Trap Lineup
First things first, check your luggage. You can't roll into this stage with a 'generalist' loadout. That's like bringing a spoon to a gunfight. You need specialized cats, the real high-rollers of your collection.
1.1. The Wave of Sadness (and How to Block It)
The biggest headache here is the Bore Jr., spitting out those devastating Aku Waves. It's a total vibe killer. If you don't shut it down, your frontline is gonna turn into cat confetti faster than you can say "jackpot."
The MVP: Your Wave Blocker units are the celebrities of this stage. Think Octopus Cat (if you’ve got him talented up—and if you don't, what are you even doing?) or Mightycat. They make the Bore Jr. waves hit 'em and just... stop. It’s like magic, but better.
No Wave Blocker? No Problem (Kinda): Okay, if your locker is missing the octopus arms, you gotta pivot, big time. Bring Wave Immune meatshields like Talented Li’l Mohawk and load up on long-range nukers. It's a riskier play, but hey, this is Vegas!
1.2. Money, Money, Money! (The Economy Plan)
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
This stage is surprisingly energy-intensive, and running out of funds is a bigger loss than a bad roulette bet.
Always bring a solid Cash Generator. Cat CPU is your best friend here, setting and forgetting your meatshield spam so you can focus on bigger deployments.
Don't overspend early. Let the initial few Gobbles and Aku Doges wander forward while you rack up those sweet, sweet coins. Time is money, literally.

Step 2: The Early Game Hustle
You gotta manage the opening rush like a pro poker player—patient, calculated, and ready to bluff (or in this case, bury) your opponent.
2.1. The Meatshield Monsoon
As soon as the first Aku Doges appear, you need to start the Meatshield Grind. These are your cheap, expendable units (like Cat, Tank Cat, Eraser Cat, Manic Eraser). Their job is simple: die, stall, and look cute doing it.
Keep a constant stream of 2-3 meatshields flowing. Don't stop the spam, even for a second. This buys time for your heavy hitters to get ready.
2.2. Sniping the Sinner Snache
The Sinner Snache is annoying. It’s not the boss, but it hits hard and can mess with your formation.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
Use a mid-range attacker with good damage, like Can Can Cat or a strong generalist attacker, to thin the ranks of the early wave.
Hold back your main nukers. They are the emergency reserves. Wait for the big boys to show up before unleashing the true power.
Step 3: Dealing with the Big Bosses
The Gobble is your big, chunky Aku enemy, and the Bore Jr. is the wave-spamming menace. You need a two-pronged attack to send them packing.
3.1. The Gobble Gobbler
The Gobble has long range (420) and a hefty HP pool. You need cats that can outreach him and deal serious damage.

Long-Range Power: Units with over 420 range are key. Bahamut Cat (Awakened, obviously) is a solid choice. Cat Machine or other long-distance hitters work well.
Curse Control: The Gobble can apply a nasty curse. If you have any cats with Curse Immunity or units that can Curse the enemy back, now is the time to deploy them. It’s like a spicy reversal!
3.2. The Bore Jr. Breakdown
This is the make-or-break moment. When the Bore Jr. shows up, the game changes. You have a short window to take it down before its Aku Wave attacks dismantle your defense.
Wave Blocker Deployment: If you have Octopus or Mightycat, deploy them immediately to get in front of the Bore Jr. The waves hit your blocker and vanish. This is your golden ticket.
The Nuclear Option: If you don't have a blocker, you need to summon a powerhouse to Nuke the Bore Jr. fast. Can Can Cat is fantastic for his sheer damage, and any high-tier Uber Rare with massive Area of Effect (AoE) damage can work. Hit it hard, hit it fast, and don't look back.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Step 4: The Final Push: Base Assault
Once the initial enemies are taken care of and the Bore Jr. is toast, the stage gets... calmer. But don't get cocky! This is where you finalize the win.
4.1. The Clean-Up Crew
You'll still have infinite Aku Doges spawning, and the occasional Gobble will try to sneak in.
Keep your meatshields flowing. This is non-negotiable.
Deploy your remaining powerful units and focus all fire on the enemy base, the Aku Altar (which has 800,000 HP, by the way).
4.2. Victory Lap (The Cat Cannon Finish)
When the base is low, and your cats are pushing forward, you can use your Cat Cannon for a final, glorious smackdown. Time it right to clear any immediate threats before your high-damage cats make contact.
And boom! You've successfully navigated the Sin City of the Aku Realms. Time to celebrate with a virtual high-five and a truckload of XP!
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
FAQ Questions and Answers
How to get Octopus Cat's True Form? You need to get the Crazed Cat's True Form, and then get the associated talents to unlock its wave-blocking ability. It’s a serious investment, but totally worth the grind.
How to deal with Toxic Damage in Aku Realms? Some Aku enemies apply Toxic damage, which ignores defense. You need units that are Immune to Toxic or have the Zombie Killer ability, as these often share immunities.
How to increase Cat Base Health? Upgrade the Cat Base Health power-up in the Cat Cannon menu using Cat Food. More health means more time for your strategy to cook!
How to unlock Aku Realms? You must first beat The Moon stage in Into the Future, Chapter 3 and have at least 1500 User Rank. Then, The Aku Realms will appear on the main map.
How to get the best Anti-Aku Cats? Look for units with the Shield Pierce ability, and those that have a high multiplier against the Aku trait. Ubers like Dark Kasli or Chronos are often top-tier anti-Aku units.
How to use the Cat CPU effectively in this stage? Set the Cat CPU to spam only your cheapest meatshields (Cat, Tank, etc.). Leave your crucial attackers and Wave Blockers on manual deploy so you can control their timing.
How to get more XP for leveling up cats? Farm the XP stages on the weekend, use the Cat Jobs feature, or repeat stages you can beat quickly, like EoC 1 Moon, during an XP Boost event.
How to beat Bore Jr. without Ubers? Use strong area attackers like Cyborg Cat or Can Can Cat paired with a high-level Sniper Cat power-up, and non-wave immune meatshields to soak up damage while your attackers get the job done quickly.
How to save money during the early game? Only send out one or two cheap meatshields until your Wallet level is maxed, then start full-spamming. Only deploy expensive attackers once the first enemy wave crosses your third of the field.
How to tell if an enemy is an Aku enemy? Aku enemies are generally dark, black, or have a menacing aesthetic, and they often have a visible shield (even if it's broken). More importantly, the Aku trait will be listed in their stats.
