What are the level caps for Special Cats in Battle Cats?

Level Caps in Battle Cats refer to the maximum level a Special Cat can reach during gameplay. These caps determine how much a cat can be powered up, which impacts its effectiveness in battle. There are several key levels in the game, ranging from Level 10 to Level 50 for most cats. Non-Legend Cats can reach Level 40 with Catseyes after completing specific stages, while Legend Cats require additional steps, like completing An Ancient Curse or Revival of Origin, to level past 30. Some special event cats have Level MAX caps that go beyond the usual limits, with certain collaborations unlocking additional upgrades. To unlock higher levels, players must meet specific in-game requirements, such as achieving certain User Ranks or using resources like Catseyes.
