2-46 ANDROMEDA
Fast attack rate for a peon.
Croakley variant โ Long Distance (400~550) backliner with 65,000 Barrier and a guaranteed 100% Warp back 250 range. Only 700 HP โ once the Barrier breaks, waves or Major Leaguer Cat finish the job.
Fast Angel rusher.
Faster, stronger Shibalien with 35% Warp chance back 750 range. Slowable/freezable like other Aliens. Bahamut can one-shot in its first appearance.
Angel variant of Hippoe โ hits harder than the original.
Bore's Alien variant โ 160,000 HP, 1,799 AP area attack at 125 range with 100% Knockback, fast 17f attack interval. Boss of Uranus + Urura + Andromeda. Knockback-Immune frontline (Bombercat, Crazed Cow with Talent) + Anti-Alien backliners.
Dolphina variant โ 40,000 HP and 15,000 Barrier, but only 50 damage. Speed 50 makes him a fast meat wall. Once the Barrier breaks his low DPS makes him a useful stepping stone for Crimson Mina / Polevaulter Cat / Jellycat.
Ribbo's 65k Barrier + 100% Warp at 400~550 range. Snipe with waves (Major Leaguer Cat).
Ch.2 adds Ribbo and Kid Tappa to the peon mix; Nimoy Bore stays as boss. Row 1 restriction. Heavenly Hippoe and Gabriel still inject Angel-trait survivability. r/battlecats's universal note: 'Andromeda 2 is the Mystery Mask gear check. If you can't clear this consistently, you're not ready for 2-47 Black Hole.' Lineup (Row 1 only): Knockback-Immune frontline (Bombercat, Crazed Cow Talent) โ Anti-Alien Barrier Breaker for Ribbo (Bazibon, Loincloth, Crazed Bahamut) โ Warp-Immune Anti-Alien Ubers (Lumina, Pixies-line) โ A. Bahamut for Nimoy Bore. Common failure: thinking Ribbo's 65k Barrier is the hardest part. It's the simultaneous warp + Nimoy Bore knockback that breaks lineups โ without Knockback Immunity you spend the stage rebuilding your line.
