Cats Meow is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC for Bloons TD 6. It caps the player's maximum lives at 9 and prevents the player from gaining Mana Shield by any means (such as from Dan D'Monke), but causes any Bloon that leaks to only remove 1 life regardless of its leak damage. This Artifact also generates lives at the end of each round: 3 for the Rare version, or 9 for the Legendary version; and adds a Bomb Shooter to the party: 0-0-3 for the Rare version, or 0-0-4 for the Legendary version.

On Final Boss tiles, it does not prevent a game over if the main Boss Bloon escapes, but it does prevent lives lost from boss spawns, such as Lych-souls. It effectively does nothing if the No Leeway Curse is active.

  • This Artifact allows you to safely leak MOAB-Class Bloons if you don't have enough DPS to deal with them, but caution is advised if the outer layer of the Bloon is popped near the exit, as it will cause losing several lives at once instead of one. Also is important to have cleanup towers as a small number of weak Bloons can easily consume the 9 lives.
  • Towers and abilities that grant extra lives will only restore to the maximum of 9 and Ezili won't be able to use her Sacrificial Totem until she reaches level 16, when the cost is changed from 10 lives to 1.
  • The added Cluster Bombs or Recursive Cluster are both beneficial for popping large groups of bloons. For early stages, the Recursive is important for Smudge Catt's starting party, serving as this party's only reliable direct popping power. Both transition into Bomb Blitz, which reduces the need to leak lives to weak Bloons.
  • Towards the extreme late stages of Rogue Legends, the value of Cats Meow becomes much more, as this artifact remains among the only ways to leak whole BADs safely.
  • Dan D'Monke is recommended to tank more BADs per round than normal. Give his level 19+ base form some pops and he will build Mana Shield that can tank far more BADs than normal. This strategy's only weakness is that it will do nothing directly against Bosses, but can help survive against non-Boss swarms.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • This Artifact is a reference to the superstition that cats have nine lives, hence its name and inclusion in Smudge Catt's starting party.
  • This is the only Artifact that adds an Insta Monkey to the party but does not directly affect towers of its type. The 0-0-3 or 0-0-4 Bomb Shooter it adds to the party may instead be a reference to how Cluster Bombs shoots nine bombs per shot (the main bomb and eight cluster bombs).
