To acquire The Grateful Crane in Battle Cats, you must play the Rare Cat Capsule during specific limited-time events. This Uber Rare Cat is not available at all times, making its acquisition an event-dependent process.
Unlocking The Grateful Crane
The Grateful Crane is an Uber Rare Cat that was introduced in Version 2.7 of The Battle Cats. Its primary method of acquisition is through the game's gacha system, the Rare Cat Capsule, but only when specific events are active.
- Key Acquisition Method: Roll the Rare Cat Capsule.
- Crucial Timing: You can only obtain The Grateful Crane when the Ancient Heroes Ultra Souls or the Air Busters event is currently running in the game. It is exclusive to these event banners.
Understanding the Rare Cat Capsule
The Rare Cat Capsule is the main system in Battle Cats where players spend resources to obtain new, higher-rarity cats.
- Cat Food: This is the premium currency in Battle Cats, earned through gameplay milestones, login bonuses, or purchased with real money. It's used to perform single rolls or 10-rolls (Guaranteed Uber events).
- Rare Tickets: These special tickets guarantee one roll from the Rare Cat Capsule. They are often given as rewards for clearing stages, completing missions, or during special campaigns.
Event-Exclusive Nature
The Grateful Crane is an event-exclusive unit. This means it is only added to the pool of possible cats you can draw from the Rare Cat Capsule during its specific event periods.
- Ancient Heroes Ultra Souls: This is the primary set to which The Grateful Crane belongs. Many players target this event specifically to acquire this unit and other powerful cats within the Ultra Souls lineage.
- Air Busters: The Grateful Crane also appears in the Air Busters event banner, providing an additional opportunity for players to obtain it.
Maximizing Your Chances
Given its Uber Rare status and event-exclusive nature, obtaining The Grateful Crane requires strategy and patience.
- Save Resources: Accumulate a significant amount of Cat Food and Rare Tickets. Rolling multiple times increases your statistical likelihood of drawing an Uber Rare Cat.
- Monitor Event Schedules: Keep a close eye on in-game news, official Battle Cats social media channels, or reputable fan wikis for announcements regarding the return of the Ancient Heroes Ultra Souls or Air Busters events.
- Utilize Guaranteed Uber Draws: When these events feature a "Guaranteed Uber Rare" promotion (typically for a 10-roll costing 1500 Cat Food), this is the optimal time to spend your resources. These promotions ensure you get at least one Uber Rare Cat from the featured event set with a 10-draw.
- Cat Capsule Tracking: Some dedicated players use online "seed tracking" tools to predict future rolls, allowing them to pinpoint exactly when an Uber Rare, or specifically The Grateful Crane, will appear in their capsule sequence. This method requires careful logging of past rolls.
