In The Battle Cats, Catfruit is a crucial item that evolves certain Cat Units into their True Forms and Ultra Forms, unlocking new abilities and enhancing combat power. Players collect various types of Catfruit throughout the game, and each type is required to evolve specific units. This evolution process is key to progressing in the game and tackling more difficult challenges.

In this article, AntGames provides a comprehensive guide to Catfruit, including its types, how to collect it, and its role in evolving your cats. Let’s explore the five types of Catfruit and their essential roles in The Battle Cats.

Types of Catfruit in Battle Cats

There are five types of Catfruit in Battle Cats, each associated with a different color or tier. Understanding these types, how to obtain them, and how to use them is crucial for evolving your units efficiently. Let’s explore the types of Catfruit and how to acquire them.

Purple/Red/Blue/Green/Yellow Catfruit

Each of the first five types of Catfruit corresponds to a specific color, and each color is tied to a different Growing Stage that appears throughout the week. The Growing Stages are unique to each color and appear on specific days of the week. Each stage offers different levels of difficulty. Here’s a quick breakdown of these maps:

• Green Catfruit: Appears on Mondays in the Growing Green stage, featuring Floating-type enemies.
• Purple Catfruit: Appears on Tuesdays in the Growing Purple stage, featuring Black-type enemies.
• Red Catfruit: Appears on Wednesdays in the Growing Red stage, featuring Red-type enemies.
• Blue Catfruit: Appears on Thursdays in the Growing Blue stage, featuring Alien-type enemies.
• Yellow Catfruit: Appears on Fridays in the Growing Yellow stage, featuring Angel-type enemies.

Each stage has three progressive difficulty levels. As difficulty increases, the chances of obtaining higher-tier Catfruit grow. For example, Stage 1 (Hard difficulty) has a higher chance of yielding Seeds, while Stage 3 (Insane difficulty) is more likely to drop full Catfruit.

The stages follow a rotation, so you can only farm one color per day. However, higher difficulty stages increase your chances of obtaining Catfruit Jubilee after completing the first stage. Catfruit Jubilee is a continuation stage where you can collect even more valuable Catfruit drops.

Epic Catfruit

Epic Catfruit is a rarer type that becomes available after completing the Empire of Cats chapter. Players obtain Epic Catfruit by participating in the Growing Epic stage, which offers a chance to acquire Epic Catfruit Seeds. These seeds can then be grown into Epic Catfruit, required for evolving certain units into their Ultra Forms.

Additionally, Epic Catfruit can be obtained from the Heavenly Tower, specifically on Floors 29, 35, and 45, which guarantee Epic Catfruit drops. Epic Catfruit Seeds can also be earned after completing the An Ancient Curse stage in Growing Epic or through special stages like Cyclone Stages.

Aku Catfruit

Aku Catfruit is tied to the Aku Realm and drops in the Growing Evil stages. This type is unique because it only drops Seeds. The higher the difficulty, the better the chances of obtaining Aku Catfruit Seeds. You can merge the Aku Catfruit Seed into Aku Catfruit using the Catfruit Storage.

To farm Aku Catfruit, clear the Growing Evil stages or earn seeds from special events like the Empress’ Report or Infernal Tower. Aku Catfruit is also rewarded from Mount Aku, which you can access in the Aku Realms.

Elder Catfruit

Elder Catfruit is another essential material for evolving special units. You can obtain it from the Growing Strange stage, unlocked after completing Stories of Legend. The Growing Strange stage has a unique mechanic where you must clear a Merciless stage, followed by continuation stages that drop Elder Catfruit Seeds or full Elder Catfruit.

Like other types, you can farm Elder Catfruit on floors in the Heavenly Tower (Floors 43 and 47) or Infernal Tower (Floors 10 and 20).

Gold Catfruit

Gold Catfruit is one of the rarest types in the game. It is primarily obtained through donations at the Cat Shrine or by completing specific stages in the Aku Realms. Players who donate 1,000,000 XP at the Cat Shrine have a chance to receive Gold Catfruit as a reward. The Gold Catfruit Seed can also be acquired on Floor 30 of the Infernal Tower. You can use it to create full Gold Catfruit in the Catfruit Storage.

Storage and Functions of Catfruit

Once you collect Catfruit or its Seeds, store them in the Catfruit Storage, a specialized inventory in the game. This system helps players manage their Catfruit resources efficiently, allowing them to prepare for unit evolutions and maximize their farming efforts.

Here’s how the Catfruit Storage works:

• Combine Seeds: Collect five seeds of the same type to combine them into one full Catfruit of the same color.
• Exchange for XP: Exchange Catfruit for XP, with different items yielding varying amounts. For example, Gold Catfruit gives the highest XP when exchanged.
• Evolve Units: Catfruit is primarily used to evolve Cat Units into their True Forms or Ultra Forms, depending on the unit. Each unit may require different amounts of Catfruit and XP to evolve. Some units need more of a specific type of Catfruit due to their traits. For instance, Artist Cat, which evolves into Ramen Cat, requires more Yellow Catfruit because of its anti-Angel specialization.

Properly managing your Catfruit Storage ensures you have the materials needed to evolve your cats and strengthen your lineup.

Some Trivia About Catfruit

Catfruit has some interesting background and hidden details that many players may not know. Here are a few fun and lesser-known facts about it:

• Catfruits are based on the Actinidia polygama plant, known for inducing an intense euphoric response in cats, similar to catnip but stronger.
• There are 21 types of Catfruit, but three are not used in-game. These unused types appear as white circles with kanji (temporary) in the Japanese version or as black boxes in other versions.
• Prior to Version 11.4, the Catfruit Storage could hold a maximum of 128 items. Exceeding this would cause issues when trying to collect more Catfruit.
• Epic Catfruit Seeds were originally exclusive to the PC version of The Battle Cats, where they could only be grown into Epic Catfruit.
• Epic Catfruit Seeds were added in Version 8.6 and became obtainable in Version 9.1.

How to Get Catfruit in Battle Cats?

To collect Catfruit, engage in Growing Stages that appear on specific days of the week. These stages require Energy and are essential for obtaining all types of Purple, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Epic, Aku, Elder, and Gold Catfruit.

Additionally, special events like Catfruit Jubilee give players the opportunity to collect high-tier Epic Catfruit and Gold Catfruit without spending Energy. Other methods include donating XP at the Cat Shrine, completing stages in the Heavenly Tower, and participating in the Aku Realms for Aku and Gold Catfruit.
