How to Beat Le'boin in Battle Cats?

Defeating Le'boin, especially in his initial appearances like Denmark/Shizuoka, requires a strategic approach focused on precise Cat Cannon timing, robust meatshielding, and persistent damage from high-impact units like Titan Cats and Cow Cats. This battle can be long and challenging due to the constant spawning of supporting enemies, often referred to as "Those Guys."

Understanding Le'boin and His Challenge

Le'boin is a formidable boss that often appears with a continuous stream of weaker enemies, making it difficult to reach him directly. These accompanying "peons" can quickly overwhelm your frontline, turning the battle into a grind. The key to success lies in managing these smaller threats while simultaneously focusing your damage on Le'boin.

The Core Strategy for Victory

The most effective method to defeat Le'boin involves a specific sequence of actions to control the battlefield and maximize your damage output:

Lure and Position: Allow Le'boin and his accompanying peons to advance into the effective range of your Cat Cannon. This timing is crucial; firing too early might miss critical targets, while waiting too long risks your base.
Unleash the Cat Cannon: Once Le'boin and a cluster of enemies are within range, immediately fire your Cat Cannon. The cannon's knockback or stun effect will disrupt the enemy formation and create a vital window for your offensive units.
Initiate the Offensive: Capitalize on the Cat Cannon's effect by deploying your primary damage dealers. Titan Cats (Macho Legs Cat) and Cow Cats (Giraffe Cat, upgraded to Lion Cat) are highly recommended for their ability to deliver significant damage to Le'boin.
Maintain Your Frontline: Continuously spawn meatshields (cheap, spammable units like Macho Cat and Wall Cat) to protect your attackers and absorb incoming damage. A steady defensive line is essential to keep your damage dealers safe and attacking Le'boin.

Recommended Unit Lineup

A well-balanced team composition is vital for tackling Le'boin. Here's a breakdown of essential unit types:

Meatshields: These are your low-cost, fast-recharge units designed to absorb hits and protect your main attackers. Deploy them constantly to keep enemies at bay and protect your more expensive damage dealers.
- Examples:
  - Macho Cat (Basic Cat evolution)
  - Wall Cat (Tank Cat evolution)
  - Eraser Cat (True Form of Macho Cat)
  - Crazed Wall Cat (from Crazed Stages)
Primary Attackers: Units that deal substantial damage to Le'boin.
- Titan Cat (Macho Legs Cat, evolved from Gross Cat): Highly valued for its high health, strong area-of-effect damage, and ability to withstand hits, making it effective against Le'boin and his peons.
- Cow Cat (Giraffe Cat, evolved to Lion Cat): Offers fast movement, rapid attack speed, and high damage per second (DPS) for its cost. Spawning multiple Lion Cats can quickly overwhelm Le'boin.
Support Units: Units that can provide crowd control or additional damage, depending on the stage and enemy composition.
- King Dragon Cat (True Form of Dragon Cat): Provides solid, long-range area damage that can hit Le'boin from a safer distance and clear peons.

Strategic Tips for the Battle

Money Management: Always maintain a steady income. Don't overspend too early. Use your Cat Cannon to clear weaker enemies when needed, which also helps generate more money.
Cat Cannon Timing: The Cat Cannon is your most powerful crowd control tool. Use it strategically for its knockback, freeze, or stun effect to reset the enemy push, buying time for your units to recharge or deal damage.
Unit Upgrades: Ensure your chosen units are well-leveled. Higher levels mean increased health, damage, and often faster recharge times, all of which are crucial for success in difficult boss battles.
Stacking Attackers: After a successful Cat Cannon hit, try to deploy multiple Titan Cats and Cow Cats to create a concentrated burst of damage on Le'boin before he can recover or before the peons build up again.
Base Health: While luring enemies, be mindful of your base's health. It's often strategic to let enemies get closer to maximize Cat Cannon effectiveness, but never at the risk of losing your base prematurely.
