First Round (Expert)

一の修練 激ムズ

First Round (Expert) is a Battle Cats stage in The Proving Grounds. It costs 300 energy and sends 8 enemy spawn lines — led by Kory as the boss — against a 200,000 HP enemy base, and clearing it rewards 26,790 XP. Its enemies carry the Zombie, Angel, Black and Alien traits, so cats that target them do the most work here.
