BOO! I procrastinated too much...

Happy (late by 1 day) Halloween!

Sidenote: Volta is regular Roll and not Harp Note because I can't figure out how to put the helmet on.

Sidenote 2: I don't know how to tag each elemental pixie.

I didn't post when I did it, but I beat all of Cats of the Cosmos chapter 1 without any Started Alien Treasures. (This was literally months ago lol, look at the image alt texts for extra context and stuff.)

These discord messages are my only proof because I didn't take any pictures myself... And I can't try to repeat it again because I actually have all of the chapter 1 treasures now. So just take my word for it please.

I'm so not repeating this stunt for the other two cat god battles... Totally.

I'll admit, I Uber Carried through The Big Bang with Bazibastra and Phonoa and used guides from the battle cats wiki to get through it and a few other stages throughout the chapter, but I still managed it so Idc.

Would it be cool if we got a Bora unit review?

UNIT REVIEW: BORA/BAZIBASTRA

stats are at level 50 because i have decided that using stats at level 60 was kinda cringe of me, y'all ain't spending 15 dark eyes on catman lmao

bazibastra, henceforth referred to as bora (due to first form being named bora and i hate typing out bazibastra), is an alien nuker and part of the nature's guardians elemental pixies uber banner, commonly referred to as elemental pixies or just pixies. this is one of the most straightforwardly good units in the game.

bora's 8k dps (66.9k dph) and 85.6k health outside of its target trait are decent enough to survive in mixed stages, and against aliens, these quadruple and quintuple respectively to 33341.08 dps (267840 dph) and 427950 health. it also has 100% barrier breaker, as is consistent across all elemental pixies (as of 13.0) and warp immune, both to make it viable against starred aliens. its three knockbacks are standard, giving it decent survivability without sacrificing too much durability, and 390 range allows it to outrange a solid amount of aliens while being able to tank anything it can't outrange. speed and cost are roughly average, with cost being slightly lower than the typical uber but about standard for a pixie, and cooldown is decently low, giving it very solid mobility.

bora, as with most pixies, is at its best in into the future (itf) and cats of the cosmos (cotc). both itf's common aliens (hyppoh, maawth, helmut krabbe, lemurr, mistress celeboodle) and major threats (cyberhorn, imperator sael, ursamajor, nimoy bore, bun bun symbiote, all three moon bosses) will either get outranged or tanked by bora and then murdered. cotc's aliens tend to have warp or barrier, both of which bora nullifies, and the threatening itf enemies brought back to cotc continue to get crushed. cotc's high pushing power and reliance on CC to stall big threats don't exactly help bora, but its low cooldown helps a lot with getting another out after the first goes down, and the only real issue with bora in cotc is the rare non-alien threat and restrictions that deny you the use of bora.

bora's relevance continues into UL and advent stages, where its high stats make it more useful in a less CC-based meta. while alien threats are much rarer than they were in the alien-based story chapters (obviously), starred aliens tend to have much higher stats than the average enemy (increased to counteract cotc treasures), and the high stat fast pushers of star peng and mesocosmocyclone can be countered by bora fairly easily, as long as you meatshield them enough. the occasional overbuffed cyberhorn or nimoy bore will go through the same. advent bosses such as wanwan, queen b, and puffsley are made much easier by bora, and some advent stages (such as wahwah revenge and zonel) have use for bora despite the boss not being an alien, due to problematic alien peons. ZL consistently bringing back advents may lead to bora seeing increased use in endgame as well.

bora is arguably the best elemental pixie. in a set where only two or three ubers can be considered "bad" (aer, bliza, tekachi (the new pixie that's fat and turns into a thwomp, posted a video of him here)), this is pretty damn impressive. the only three units that can challenge this title are lumina, the legend rare, gravi, an incredible tank with great waving ability, and voli, a 100% freeze anti-alien with solid uptime and low cooldown. thing's busted

tl;dr: great anti-alien nuker, good compatibility, will carry through itf and cotc, keeps working even into lategame
