JAPANESE EXCLUSIVE This feature is exclusive to the Japanese version of The Battle Cats but it may also appear in other versions such as BCTW and BCKR!
This enemy base can attack Cat Units in range, with a slow attack rate. Because it is a base, it does not move and is immune to all effects. All of its attacks are basically an instant-kill, except against Metal Cats and Cats that survive lethal strikes.
Strategy[]
Basically any unit that it can outrange, it will kill. Therefore, the best way to counter this unsettling TV is to use units that outrange it, or time your units so that they go directly before it attacks so your units can trigger the next wave as fast as possible, as the boss wave knocks your units out of Niconico TV's range.
Encounters[]
This enemy has always appeared at 100% strength magnification.

Trivia[]
Niconico TV is based on the Japanese video-sharing service Niconico. It gets its name and design from the logo of Niconico featuring a TV.
The text that scrolls by before its attack, くるぞ... means Here it comes...
In reality, Niconico TV's health is not infinite. It actually has 2,147,483,647 health but due to the time limit of the stage, it is not possible to defeat it without hacking.
The reason its health is exactly that is because 2,147,483,647 is the maximum positive value for a 32-bitinteger, and going over would cause an overflow.
