Expired Joy

幸福の賞味期限

Expired Joy is a Battle Cats stage in Ritual Confusion. It costs 250 energy and sends 3 enemy spawn lines — led by Director Kurosawah as the boss — against a 400,000 HP enemy base, and clearing it rewards 22,325 XP. Its enemies carry the Black trait, so cats that target it do the most work here.
