Start by Smiling

笑えばいいと思うよ

Start by Smiling is a Battle Cats stage in Decisive Battle!. It costs 200 energy and sends 6 enemy spawn lines — led by The 6th Angel (Enemy) as the boss — against a 220,000 HP enemy base, and clearing it rewards 141,000 XP. Its enemies carry the Eva Angel and Angel traits, so cats that target them do the most work here.
