'''Cats Meow''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the [[Rogue Legends|''Rogue Legends'']] DLC of ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It sets maximum amount of [[life|lives]] to 9, but now any time a Bloon leaks, only 1 life or shield (e.g. [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]'s [[Soul Barrier]], level 19+ [[Dan D'Monke (BTD6)|Dan D'Monke]]'s Mana Shield) will be lost, regardless of which type of Bloon reached the exit. After the end of each round, lives are regenerated, gaining more for higher rarities. The lives mechanics do not work when No Lives Curse is active or against [[Boss Bloon|Boss Bloons]]. Additionally, the Rare version of this Artifact grants a 0-0-3 [[Bomb Shooter (BTD6)|Bomb Shooter]] and the Legendary version grants a 0-0-4 Bomb Shooter. This Artifact does not have a Common variant.

Cats Meow is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC of Bloons TD 6. It sets the player's maximum lives to 9, but causes any Bloons that leak to only remove 1 life or shield (e.g. Corvus's Soul Barrier, level 19+ Dan D'Monke's Mana Shield), regardless of its leak damage. It regenerates more lives at the end of each round: 3 for the Rare version, or 9 for the Legendary version. It also grants a Bomb Shooter: 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 Lives Curse is active.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 55.2
  • 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.
