Axis of Evil

Axis of Evil (恐ろし連邦 Osoroshi Renpō, Fearsome Federation) is the 33rd sub-chapter of Stories of Legend. It was introduced in Version 5.5 and is available up to 4♛ difficulty.

Difficulty

Brutal sub-chapter compared to previous ones. Stage difficulties can vary from moderate to nearly impossible depending on your units. The most difficult stages in this sub-chapter are likely Pecking Order and Celestial Seas, the latter especially on higher crown difficulties. The stages that can be called the easiest are Merciless Onslaught and The Spy Who Pet Me, but without the right strategy they will steamroll you.

• 2♛ difficulty for this sub-chapter multiplies enemy strength magnifications by 120%.
• 3♛ difficulty for this sub-chapter multiplies enemy strength magnifications by 140%.
• 4♛ difficulty for this sub-chapter makes no change to enemy strength magnifications and only allows Special Cats and Rare Cats to be deployed.

New Features

This sub-chapter introduces two new enemies:

• Professor A.: A Red variant of Master A.. Has higher health and attack power with even longer range and can slow down cats.
• Razorback: A Black variant of Bore. Like Boraphim, he has extreme DPS and exceptional stats all across the board, except for range. He also increases his attack power by 50% after falling below 50% HP.
• Although not her first appearance in-game, Cli-One makes her debut in Stories of Legend here.
