Archaeology 101: Methods

遺物調査Ⅰ方法

Archaeology 101: Methods is a Battle Cats stage in Empress' Excavation 1. It costs 100 energy and sends 9 enemy spawn lines — led by THE SLOTH as the boss — against a 640,000 HP enemy base, and clearing it rewards 8,930 XP. Its enemies carry the Behemoth and Aku traits, so cats that target them do the most work here.
