An Ancient Curse

An Ancient Curse is the first level in Uncanny Legends and the only level in A New Legend. Relic Doge and Relic Bun-Bun are introduced in this stage.

Upon completion, Mecha-Bun can be upgraded to its True Form using Catfruit and XP. In addition, Legends can be hypermaxed to level 40 using Catseyes, while all other cats (except Normals and Metal Cat) can be hypermaxed to level 50 the same way.

Battleground

• Relic Doges are spawned every so often to screw up the player's stalling.
• Relic Bun-Bun appears as a boss when the enemy base's HP reaches 99%.
• Relic Doges spawn randomly after Relic Bun-Bun spawns.

Strategy

You can use a strategy similar to what was used for the previous stage, but keep in mind that the boss is not a Floating Enemy this time around, so using anti-Relic cats is highly recommended.

Strategy 1 (Mitama-carried)

Line up: Three Kings (Catcombo), Awakened Bahamut, Mitama the Oracle, M. Eraser, Eraser, Metal Cat, M. Macho Legs, Cyberpunk.

Battle Items: Rich Cat

Use M. Macho Legs to kill the first few Relic Doges. Do not use Metal Cat as a meatshield on the first few Relic Doges. When there's only 1 left, let M. Macho Legs die and start stacking Cyberpunks. The minimum you can stack to beat the stage is 3. Try to stack up to 4 to make the stage easy. When you're done stacking, send Mitama and start spamming relentless. You can also spam out Madam the Savannah and King Dragon Cat out to help, since they're part of the Catcombo.

After a while, Relic Bun-Bun will fall and you will beat the stage.

Strategy 2 (Ft. Awakened Mina)

Lineup:Eraser Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Zamboney Cat, Metal Cat, Thaumaturge Cat, Awakened Mina, Li'l Nyandam, Maglev, Ururun Cat, Manic King Dragon.

Use a similar stalling strategy to the Cyberpunk stacking strategy above. Stall the Relic Doges by weakening the current Doge, then taking it out with Maglev once the next Doge comes. Thaumaturge can help with the stalling. Make sure to lure the Doges close enough so that Awakened Mina doesn't hit the Doges. Once you have stacked a reasonable amount of Minas (around 3 to 4; also make sure they're desynced so they reliably perma-weaken the Bun-Bun). After you've attacked the base just start spamming everything. Maglev can chip, Ururun can have some good knockbacks, MKD can damage. Li'l Nyandam can slow. Thaumaturge, Mina, and your meatshields should do a good job stalling the Bun Bun. No need for items unless you're lazy. The Cat CPU can help with spawning everything. Rich Cat won't help you much as you'll eventually get max money after the stalling anyway. Speed Up is fine if you don't want to wait, might want to use CPU with Speed Up due to the fact that you might be late on meatshield spamming. Good luck!

Strategy 3 (Ft. Slapstick Cats and Mitama)

Make sure your cats are high-level.

Eraser Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Zamboney Cat, Metal Cat, Thaumaturge Cat, Maglev Cat, Slapstick Cats, Cyberpunk Cat, Your best damagedealer for the situation, Mitama the Oracle

Power-Ups: Rich Cat(helpful, but not needed), CPU(spam helping)

Strategy:Lure the first doge close to your base, then spawn Metal Cat, then Slapstick. Wait for the doge to be knocked back twice then spawn Maglev to kill it. Wait for Maglev to die, then spawn in Cyberpunk. Spawn some erasers, but not too much. You want to kill at least one Relic Doge before Slapstick dies. Use Zamboney to stall the Relic Doges. Thaumaturge can help too. Once you have around $4500, kill off the Relic Doges and spawn Mitama. As your units approach the base, spawn in everything you can except for Maglev and Zamboney. After Relic Bun spawn, spam Eraser and Manic Eraser as well as everything else as hard as you can. If Mitama dies, the strat will most likely fail. Continue spamming until you lose or win with Erasers first then Slapstick.

Strategy 4 (No uber and no TFs using elder catfruits)
