1-1 EARTH
×4 Faster, stronger Shibalien with 35% Warp chance back 750 range. Slowable/freezable like other Aliens. Bahamut can one-shot in its first appearance.
First CotC stage. 4 Dagshunds spawn early, then a single Shibalien Elite as the boss at ~20s. Bring your Moon (ItF Ch.1) lineup minus Anti-Floating cats. Awakened Bahamut Cat one-shots Shibalien Elite.
The tutorial stage every CotC player remembers — 4 Dagshunds and a single Shibalien Elite boss. r/battlecats consensus: 'if your ItF Moon (1-48) lineup beat this, you're cleared for the chapter.' The Shibalien Elite swap from Floating to Alien trips up Anti-Floating-heavy lineups; that's the whole onboarding lesson. Standard loadout: Mohawk + Manic Mohawk frontline → Awakened Bahamut for the Shibalien Elite one-shot → 2-3 Anti-Alien Ubers (Bazibastra, Lumina, Bahamut Cat). Common failure: showing up with the ItF Norway lineup (heavy Anti-Floating) and watching Shibalien Elite shrug everything. Bring Anti-Alien Treasures from ItF Ch.1-3 before attempting.
BAZIFENIX S Anti-Alien Uber primary — 100% Barrier Breaker + 100% Weaken vs Alien handles every Alien threat on the stage 
LUMINALIA S Anti-Alien LR tank — ~1.9M effective HP vs Alien + Warp Immunity, stalls anything the stage spawns 
AWAKENED BAHAMUT CAT S Speed 60 multi-hit Special rusher — front-loads burst on Alien peon waves 
HOLY VALKYRIE CAT A 350-range area chip with 35% Freeze on non-Metal peons — long-tail crowd control
