Strategies[]
Strategy 1[]
Cat Base
|
---|
Cannon: Any |
Style: Any |
Foundation: Any |
Lineup: Biohazard, Bony Bone, Cyberpunk Cat, Slapstick Cats, Manic Mohawk Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Modern Cat, Housewife Cat
Notes: All units used are level 40 with no Talents, except for Modern Cat which is level 50. This strategy might work with lower levels if you use cats like Awakened Mina for weakening, Awakened Musashi/Twintail Medusa Cat for freezing, or Schoolbus Nyandam for slowing the Relic Bun-Bun. Use the last slot for any anti-Relic that outranges Relic Bun-Bun, or Catyphoon if you don't want waste time after the Relic Bun-Bun dies.
Wait until the first Croconator spawns, send a single Modern Cat to stall until you have money to deploy Cyberpunk Cat and any of the other expensive units you may have in your lineup, after doing that spam everything but the Combo units and Catyphoon (if you brought him) and you should kill the Relic Bun-Bun, after that it's just a waiting game until your units destroy the base, unless you're using Catyphoon which will help reduce the time wasted.
Strategy 2 (Cheese ft. Li'l Eraser)[]
Just spam Li'l Eraser Cats. You may want to bring some Unit Defense UP Combos. When the Li'l Erasers are hitting the enemy base and the Croconators have stopped spawning due to enemy limit, send in Awakened Bahamut and wait for the victory.
Trivia[]
- Like all Unearthed Artifacts stages, A Boat Too Far's Japanese name references an idiom. In this case, the name Norikakatta Dorobune (乗りかかった泥船, "Getting on a Mud Boat") is a play on the idiom norikakatta fune (乗り掛かった船, "Getting on a boat"), which means getting into a situation that is impossible to back out from. The term dorobune (泥船) in the stage's name is occasionally used to mean a "ship made of mud" that is bound to sink; a metaphor for a project or organization that is likely to fall apart soon.
