Vanguard (Hard)

先鋒 上級

Vanguard (Hard) is a Battle Cats stage in Duel Under the Stars. It costs 60 energy and sends 4 enemy spawn lines — led by Master A. as the boss — against a 50,000 HP enemy base, and clearing it rewards 8,460 XP. Its enemies carry the Black trait, so cats that target it do the most work here.
