"Brainwashed Cats are Super Rare Cats based on the nine Normal Cats that you earn at the start of the game. Each Brainwashed Cat has at least one unique ability to distinguish it from its Normal, Crazed and Li'l counterparts. They are all obtained from the Rare Capsule, being spread across various Seasonal Gacha Events. Three select Brainwashed Cats are featured in each Seasonal Gacha Event, which are switched in each appearance of an event."

Critical Note

This ranking does NOT use the same methodology that’s used throughout this document for ubers. The standard and balance is drastically different than ubers due to them being extremely easy to acquire.

It’s also worth saying that the letter grades for this tier list is not proportional to the uber lists. A unit ranking C tier on this list does NOT mean they rank C tier on the uber list, these cats are being distributed in a vacuum.

Methodology

The general idea of this tier list is that Brainwashed Cats will be ranked by their usefulness across the late-post game rather than earlier parts. This is because unlike the previous basic cat variants, Brainwashed Cats are gacha with true forms that are acquired from end-game difficulty stages. Due to this, their true formed state has to be evaluated across such point of the game.

Brainwashed Cats are evaluated at their absolute max of level 50.

Combos are accounted for. However, uber rare combos will not be accounted since Battle Cats is designed specifically to be played uberless.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Why is Brainwashed Bird so low? He can perma slow Traitless and deal huge DPS"

Brainwashed Bird is mostly outclassed by Teacher Bearcat but even without that in the equation, Brainwashed Bird's range is way too low which gives him next to no viable Traitless matchups other than point blank enemies like Dagshund, Duche, and Manic Lion.
