Cats of the Cosmos

Cats of the Cosmos (CotC) is the third saga in The Battle Cats. Chapter 1 was added in version 6.5 and can be unlocked by completing Into the Future Chapter 1. It features many of the enemies introduced in Into the Future, as well as many new enemies and Stories of Legend enemies. The main gimmick of this saga is "Starred" Alien enemies, which have a star on their body and are unaffected by the anti-Alien crystals from Into the Future. Starred Aliens have a 1600% strength magnification by default, which can only be reduced by collecting the Treasures in Cats of the Cosmos. There is currently only one available chapter for Cats of the Cosmos.

Elite "Starred" Aliens
This saga introduces a variant of the Aliens with a yellow star on a part of the bodies. Even though they are categorized as Aliens, the Crystal treasures collected from Into the Future don't affect them. They initially have 1600% strength magnification. Collecting all Superior anti-Starred Alien Treasures in a CotC chapter will reduce their stats by 500% (1600% - 1100% - 600% - 100%).
