The Battle Cats: Against Sage Theme!

Published 2023-12-21
Sage is new sub-trait that's implemented on v13.1 update. It's sub-trait similar to Behemoth and Colossus so it's not included on general Effect Ability target. The primary gimmick of this sub-trait is Sage receives less effect from debuff effect (basically enemy version of Debuff Resist Talents). Cat will learn new ability to counter Sage: Sage Killer. Its effect is granting the user DMG boost when fighting Sage (1.2x ATK & 2x DEF) while removing their debuff resistance protection.

    i like how people are more surprised about a philosopher being in the game than literal gods
  • @seerthecat9832
    Epic music aside, i just love that the phrase "Socrates boss fight" is now a phrase that makes sense within the context of this game.
  • @lyry19
    ok, so... the "sage from another world" line was leading to... greek philosophers? battle cats lore experts will never recover
  • @randomboy2004
    WE'RE LEARNING PHILOSOPHY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

    I think there's one thing we can all agree on, Ponos really can make some amazing themes

    Genuinely one of the most unsettling units, really sells how ZL is unhinged and a world basically falling apart.
  • @eddy796
    Ya know when they first mentioned “sage” i really thought like, Generic Magic Person, not GODAMN SOCRATES
  • 0:42 & 0:51 to 1:15 the fact you can hear the rush theme motif makes this theme more epic than it should be I forgot that some theme's have that already like "Invading japan" and "Slow Battle"
  • @Ayjay_Puffball
    My face when its a difficult exam Also i really like the idea of ponos, instead of just using moon themes they just created a whole new theme ZL is very wild
  • People seem to have a misconception about the imagery of Socrates. He’s a “pillar of our understanding of the universe” or rather part of the foundation of how we perceive it. The faceless nature of the enemy means they’re a representation of the concept itself and its expression. We are all cats and always have been :3

    Another banger from Ponos, it just keeps getting better
  • @casualkris4806
    This new stage is pretty darn challenging, no cheap perma rock stalling for this one, and also 1200% Doge Darks as nasty peons.
  • im glad that "resist debuff" is appearing outside of talents now. I really thought it was a missed opportunity.
  • @Calmtimer
    I can't believe they surpasssd Filibuster Obstructa, Big Bang and Revival of Origin with this insane theme
  • @lenientrider
    this sounds like the kind of music that would play when something is number 1 on xskull's rankings also 0:41 - 0:53 is easily my favourite part
  • @quipo2029
    egg came first, we first unlock the egg and then we unlock the cat.
  • it is absolutely wild to me that this started with a single cat fighting a single dog.

    I can’t believe PONOS did a collab with ULTRAKILL just after they released layer 7! The new boss is basically a prime soul.
