Strategy[]
At first glance, this stage appears to be a much more obnoxious version of Fish Hell, but it isn't nearly as scary as it may seem. This is due to the Malevolent Island Cats' exploitable Aku trait, opening a window of opportunity for anti-Aku units. Several options that are available, such as Cat Cactus, Cone Cat and Talented Bellydance Cat, will help immensely on this stage.
Due to the damage of the Malevolent Islands' Death Surges, their wide spawning range, and the fact that multiple of them will spawn throughout the fight, the use of cats with Surge immunity is heavily advised in order for them to not incinerate your army. If you lack in Surge-immune units, disposable midrangers that can do lots of damage such as Housewife Cat and Cyborg Cat can suffice as long as you manage your cash correctly. Malevolent Island's Counter-Surge ability can be ignored for the most part, as most of your units should be immune to Surges regardless, or you can just not bring Surge Attackers altogether.
Do not forget to bring a Critical Hitter for those pesky Metal Doges and the Super Metal Hippoe! The usual Hurricat and Catasaurus will work just fine, but may end up being inconsistent with the Malevolent Islands' Death Surges potentially wiping them out. Evil Aku Researcher is surprisingly effective as a Critter here due to his range, provided you use Critical Chance UP Combos to make up for his low Crit rate.
Be sure to complete the stage within 8 minutes, or else a quintet of Sir Metal Seals will spawn, which can quickly lead to your downfall from DPS overload.
Trivia[]
- Adrift in Fear's Japanese name, Hyōryū Kyōshitsu (漂流恐失, "Lost and Fearfully Drifting"), sounds identical to the Japanese name of the manga Drifting Classroom (漂流教室) The joke is that the stage's name spells kyōshitsu as 恐失, which uses the kanji for "fear" (恐) and "mistake" or "loss" (失), whereas the manga uses 教室, the Japanese word for classroom.
- Adrift in Fear is a Merciless stage in BCJP, but is only Insane in BCEN.
- Prior to Version 13.0, the enemy base had 1,600,000 HP instead of 2,500,000.
