Best Anti-Red Cats — DPS, Survivability & Value at Lv30

Red is one of the broadest traits, so there is no single answer for every stage. Fast rushers reward cheap control and durable blocking, while slow bosses give ranged damage more time to work.

Build the team

Choose one control job—freeze, slow or knockback—then spend the remaining slots on damage and production.
Use low-cost anti-Red units to stabilize early pressure before deploying a slow, expensive damage leader.
Check range against the actual enemy: the value leader is only efficient if it survives long enough to attack.

Common mistakes

Filling the lineup with overlapping crowd control and leaving too little damage to finish the stage.
Treating all Red enemies as melee targets; some punish short range despite sharing the same trait.

Read before choosing

How this guide is calculated

The candidate pool includes each English-named unit’s final form only when that form explicitly targets Red. Stats use level 30, full standard treasure scaling, base trait multipliers and Chapter 2 cost. Talents, Cat Combos and orbs are excluded so every row has the same reproducible baseline.

These are three separate leaderboards, not one hidden “overall score.” Pick the table that matches the role your lineup lacks, then verify range, cooldown and utility on the unit detail page.
