How to Read This Tier List

Uber Cats sit at the top of the rarity scale in Battle Cats, but not all of them perform equally in the same situations. This tier list groups Ubers by how consistently useful they are across different stages and enemy types, not by how rare they are to draw. A cat ranked higher here solves more problems for more players; a cat ranked lower may be devastating in one specific role but narrow in range.

The tiers run from S (performs well in most situations) down to B (situational or outclassed by other options). Placement depends on stats like range, attack speed, and special abilities—whether they freeze, slow, or deal massive damage to particular enemy types. Your own progression stage and the cats you already own will change which Ubers matter most to you right now.

Key Takeaways

  • S-tier Ubers like Mitama and Ganesha work across many stages because they provide utility (healing, defense) that few other cats match.
  • A-tier Ubers excel at specific roles—massive damage, crowd control, or tanking—but depend more on stage design and enemy lineup.
  • B-tier Ubers can carry you through certain chapters or enemy types but lose value once you own cats that do their job better.
  • Your progression stage matters more than tier placement: an Uber that is B-tier in late game may be your strongest cat in early game.
  • Comparing an Uber to the non-rare cats you already own is more useful than comparing it to other Ubers you do not have.

S-Tier Ubers: The Generalists

Mitama appears on nearly every player's S-tier list because she heals your entire team and does it from range. In stages where attrition matters—where you lose slowly rather than die in one hit—Mitama turns a losing battle into a war of resources you can win. She does not deal heavy damage, but she does not need to. Her healing scales with your cat's level, so she becomes more valuable as you progress.

Ganesha reduces damage your cats take by a percentage, which sounds modest until you realize it stacks with other defense buffs and applies to your entire team. Like Mitama, Ganesha does not win stages alone, but she makes every other cat you own perform better. She is especially powerful in late-game stages where enemies deal enough damage to kill your frontline in two or three hits.

Chronos stops time for all enemies on screen, which means your team gets free hits and enemies cannot advance. The duration is short, but the cooldown is short too, so you can chain freezes if you stack multiple Chronos or pair him with other freeze cats. He trivializes stages built around enemy movement speed.

A-Tier Ubers: The Specialists

Amaterasu deals massive damage to red enemies and has the range to stay safe while doing it. In chapters where red enemies dominate the roster, she is nearly as valuable as an S-tier cat. In chapters without red enemies, she sits on the bench. This is the A-tier trade-off: raw power in a narrow lane.

Kasa Jizo is a defensive Uber that blocks enemy attacks and reduces knockback, turning your backline into a wall. He shines in stages where enemies swarm you or deal damage in bursts. He does not work well in stages where you need to push forward quickly, because his job is to hold ground.

Tecoluga fires projectiles that bounce off walls and enemies, dealing damage multiple times per hit. In stages with tight corridors or clustered enemies, he can deal more total damage than cats with higher single-hit power. In open stages, he underperforms because his projectiles miss.

Togeluga has high health and moderate damage output, making him a generalist attacker who works in many stages but excels in none. He is reliable rather than spectacular, which is why he lands in A-tier instead of S-tier: he does not solve problems the way Mitama or Ganesha do.

B-Tier Ubers: The Niche Picks

B-tier Ubers are not weak—they are outclassed by other options in most situations. Catman deals heavy damage to floating enemies but has short range and a long cooldown, so he struggles if the stage mixes floating and non-floating enemies. Jizo (the non-Kasa version) freezes enemies but has lower stats than Chronos, so he is a backup freeze option if you do not own Chronos.

Raiden deals area damage and knocks back all enemies in range, which is powerful in early-game stages but becomes a liability in late game, where knockback often means you waste damage by pushing enemies away from your team. Anubis deals massive damage to black enemies specifically, but black enemies appear in fewer stages than red or floating enemies, so she sees less use.

B-tier does not mean "do not use"—it means "use when the stage calls for it, not as your default choice." A player in early game who just drew Catman should level him up and use him. A player in late game with Amaterasu and Tecoluga will bench Catman because those cats solve more problems.

How Your Stage Affects Tier Placement

The same Uber can be S-tier in one stage and B-tier in another. Mitama is S-tier in a stage where you face slow, high-damage enemies over a long fight. She is nearly useless in a stage where enemies one-shot your team before she can heal. Chronos is S-tier against fast-moving enemies and B-tier against stationary ones.

Before you decide an Uber is not worth leveling, check what stages are coming in your current chapter. An Uber that does not fit your current stage may fit the next one perfectly. Many players bench an Uber for months, then suddenly find a stage where that cat becomes essential.

Comparing Ubers to Non-Rare Cats

The most useful comparison is not "Is this Uber better than that Uber?" but "Is this Uber better than the non-rare cat I already own?" Amaterasu is only worth leveling if you do not already have a strong red-enemy counter. If you own Cameraman (a non-rare cat who also damages red enemies), Amaterasu is less urgent. If you do not own Cameraman and have not progressed far enough to unlock him, Amaterasu becomes much more valuable.

This is why tier lists can mislead: they rank Ubers against each other, not against the actual cats in your roster. A B-tier Uber you own today is more useful than an S-tier Uber you do not own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a tier list for Rare and Super Rare cats too?

Yes, but the tier list for Rare and Super Rare cats works differently because those categories have far more cats and less variation in power. Ubers are rare enough that tier placement matters more—you are unlikely to own all of them, so knowing which ones to prioritize when you draw them is useful. For Rare and Super Rare cats, the better question is usually "Does this cat fit my current stage?" rather than "Is this cat S-tier?"

Should I use Catfood to draw Ubers or save it for something else?

Catfood is spent on draws, special events, and expanding your cat storage. Whether to spend it on Uber draws depends on your current stage and how many Ubers you already own. Early-game players often see bigger power jumps from non-rare cats and special events. Late-game players benefit more from Uber draws because non-rare cats plateau. There is no single right answer.

Does an Uber's level matter more than its tier?

Yes. A level-50 B-tier Uber will outperform a level-1 S-tier Uber in almost every stage. Tier placement assumes both cats are at similar levels. If you just drew an S-tier Uber, do not neglect your current team to level it when ready—finish leveling your current cats first, then add the new Uber to your roster.

Can I beat late-game stages without S-tier Ubers?

Yes, but it takes longer. Late-game stages are designed to be beatable with non-rare cats and A-tier Ubers, though S-tier Ubers make them faster and more consistent. If you do not own Mitama or Ganesha, you can still progress—you will just need to use more items or grind more levels on your other cats.

What if I own multiple Ubers from the same tier?

Owning multiple A-tier Ubers is often better than owning one S-tier Uber, because you can cover more situations. If you own Amaterasu and Kasa Jizo, you have a red-enemy specialist and a defensive specialist, which covers more stages than owning just Mitama. Tier placement is about individual power, not team composition.
