Lv.1–5
Delusional Heartbeat Lv.1–5 is the 1st stage of True Assassin's Gauntlet. Next stage: Delusional Heartbeat Lv.6–10.
RUSH STAGEClear a path and get close to True Assassin — his long-distance attacks have a blind spot.
True Assassin's long-distance attacks; anything that stays in his attack zone gets shredded, so the damage has to come from inside the blind spot.
- Clear a path through the peons, then get close to True Assassin.
- Time rushers to go in right after one of his attacks.
- Don't build your whole damage output around cats that sit in his attack zone.
- An anti-Black frontline (Bombercat, Pizza) handles the Black support where it appears.
Same roster and spawn order on every level — only magnification, base HP and energy climb. No Continues; after three clears the next level unlocks in 90 minutes.

JAMIERA CAT A Durable short-range unit that survives the approach. 
CAN CAN CAT A Can Can — the rusher, sent in right after an Assassin attack. 
BOMBERCAT B Bombercat freezes the Black support so the path stays open. 
PIZZA CAT A Pizza Cat for the Black peons. 
CYBORG CAT S Area damage to clear the path. 
MOHAWK CAT C Cheap shields to absorb the long-distance hits. ⚙ Trait counters worked out from the roster — not the plan on this stage, kept for reference
True Assassin is Dark. Anti-Dark units take less damage and deal more.
CATS IN A BOX B True Form has a 30% chance to Weaken Dark enemies. 
CAT GUNSLINGER A Slows Dark enemies from range. 
BRAINWASHED COW CAT A Curses Dark enemies, shutting off their abilities. 
KASA JIZO S Deals Massive Damage to Dark enemies — a heavy anti-Dark nuke. Also fits “Burst the boss down.” 
DOM CAT B True Form (Dark Lazer) is also Strong against Dark. True Assassin reaches 500 range. Units that out-range it can chip safely without taking hits.
MEDITATION CAT C Range 600 — fires from beyond its 500. 
NERD CAT A Range 1200 — fires from beyond its 500. Also fits “Clear the crowd.” 
CHILD OF DESTINY PHONO S Range 600 — fires from beyond its 500. Also fits “Burst the boss down.” 
SNIPER THE RECRUIT A Range 1200 — fires from beyond its 500. 
TECOLUGA S Range 720 — fires from beyond its 500. Also fits “Burst the boss down.” True Assassin has a deep HP pool (120,000+ even before stage magnification). Heavy single-target burst shortens the fight.
BAHAMUT CAT S Huge multi-hit burst — a story-unlock powerhouse that deletes tanky enemies. 
IZ THE DANCER S Big Multi-Hit Massive-Damage bursts. Also fits “Clear the crowd.” 
GAIA THE CREATOR S Long-Distance multi-hit with Insane Damage — a generalist wall-cracker. 
CRAZED MONEKO A Big crit burst against tanky/Metal targets. 
KALISA S Big Massive-Damage Area hits. Also fits “Clear the crowd.” 6 enemy types stack up here. Area attackers hit the whole push at once instead of one unit at a time.
HITMAN CAT A Area attacks hit everything in range. SALON CAT S Hits whole crowds, and is Weaken-immune so it keeps firing through Weaken stages. NERD CAT A Evolved/True hit groups over a Long Distance band. Also fits “Out-range True Assassin.” 
LASVOSS S Long-range Area damage clears groups. Also fits “Burst the boss down.” 
JAGANDO JR. A Area attacks hit everything in range. WIKI PICK = listed on the stage's Battle Cats Wiki page; COMMUNITY = found by title, channel and date. Neither is verified by Claws' Den. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. Find more on YouTube ↗
