Puffer Planet (Merciless) is an Advent Stage appearing on the 13th, 14th, 27th, and 28th of every month. When clearing this stage, the player has a chance to unlock Mightycat. Unlike other Advent Stages, it is only unlocked after clearing Chapter 2 of Cats of the Cosmos. This is a No Continues stage.

Strategy
Due to the massive buffs on the Starred Aliens (particularly the Star Pengs), it is highly recommended if not outright required to have all anti-Starred Alien Treasures before attempting this stage. Missing even one Treasure set will lead to each Star Peng having 672,000 health and 36,000 attack power, making them nigh-unbeatable without certain anti-Alien Uber Rares/Legend Rares. A highly levelled Catellite can survive with a small margin of health against Puffsley's attack.
It is possible to deal with this stage by letting the boss hit the base, then immediatly unleashing some anti-alien nuker to take away as much health as possible. This can conclude the fight very early if one has the right unit and setup. If this approach isn't possible, it is then recommended to bring units who are able to hit Puffsley's Comet few times, but with strong attacks, while leaving any units who may do the opposite out of the fight. Manic Macho Legs, for example, would only cause more harm than good with his waves.
Since most of the trouble comes from Star Pengs, the use of Chill Cat is recommended, unless underleveled.
Recommended Ubers
The following Uber Rares are good for this stage, and if you have any of these, using them will make things easier.
Bazibastra: Massive damage and resistance to Aliens allow Bazibastra to both lay a dent in Puffsley as well as soak up some hits. Make sure to keep him at a distance from your base, as Puffsley's Omni Strike might still reach your base.
Aphrodite: The classic Alien nuker. She can make quick work of Puffsley as well as control a ton of the Alien support. Be careful to stall Puffsley so he does not get in her blindspot.
Lufalan Pasalan: Outranges Puffsley's Omni Strike and can turn the fish into a pancake in record time. One of the best units to use in this stage.
Mad Doctor Klay: Attacks only Aliens in an Alien-only stage... Yeah... Make sure to not proc Puffsley's knockback and reset his attack. While Klay might not be able to solo Puffsley, he definitely makes dealing with Puffsley and the support much easier.
God-Emperor Ganglion: Deals massive damage to all Aliens present here, as well as being able to hit the backline with his Long Distance if positioned correctly. Just make sure to watch your money before you send him out.
