3-IN FILIBUSTER INVASION
3-IN Filibuster Invasion is the 49th stage of Cosmos Ch.3 — Even Stars Burn Out. Previous stage: 3-48 The Big Bang.
Ch.3 bonus stage that overrides a random Ch.3 stage upon clearing the chapter. Filibuster Obstructa (2M HP, 1M damage, Long Distance 300~4300) WILL one-shot the Cat Base from any position — your only hope is interrupting his 40-second foreswing with rapid 10k+ hits across his 200 knockbacks. Cat Cannon and Wave Attacks are blocked, so timing is everything. Win unlocks Filibuster Cat X.
Boss of Filibuster Invasion, which replaces a random Cats of the Cosmos Chapter 3 stage after you clear the chapter. His attack always destroys the Cat Base in one hit, and his Long Distance reach lets him hit it from anywhere. The goal is to never let him finish his attack animation.
Alien/Floating variant of Teacher Bun Bun and the boss of The Great Abyss in Into the Future Chapter 3. He has more health and attack than the original, less speed and only five knockbacks. He also has a 5% chance to make a Lv.1 Wave Attack that stretches his 200 reach to 467.5.
A Red-trait area attacker with high HP and heavy short-range (130) hits. Out-range it and chip it down with anti-Red units.
A much tougher Dark-trait Kang Roo with rapid multi-hit area attacks — high DPS that can plow through your frontline if you can't out-damage and knock her back. Not a peon.
Starred Alien version of Gory with much higher health and damage, more knockbacks, slightly longer range, and a Barrier that breaks at 6,000 damage. He moves at half Gory Dark's speed.
Kid Tappa and General GreGory carry Barriers (up to 15,000 HP) — your hits are absorbed until it's broken.
Filibuster Obstructa, Bun Bun Symbiote and General GreGory are Alien. Anti-Alien units take less damage and deal more.
Bore is Red. Anti-Red units take less damage and deal more.
Filibuster Obstructa and Bun Bun Symbiote are Floating. Anti-Floating units take less damage and deal more.
Shadow Boxer K is Dark. Anti-Dark units take less damage and deal more.
Filibuster Obstructa has a deep HP pool (2,000,000+ even before stage magnification). Heavy single-target burst shortens the fight.
The most-quoted 'bait' stage in the entire game. Filibuster Obstructa one-shots your Cat Base from any range (Long Distance 300~4300). No-continues restriction means you get one shot per attempt. Community consensus: this isn't a stage you clear — it's a stage you outpace. Rapid 10k+ hits during his 40-second foreswing window are the only path; Cat Cannon and Wave Attacks are both blocked. Required lineup always includes Manic Lion / Manic Eraser for fast meatshield spam, multiple Bahamut variants (Crazed + Awakened + base Bahamut Cat) for stacked burst chip, and the entire Uber roster for backline DPS — Ganglion, Bombercat, Twinstars, whatever you have. Common failure: assuming his one-shot is preventable. It isn't. You're racing his foreswing. Win unlocks Filibuster Cat X, which many players consider the best 'reward' Special Cat in the game.
The castle you destroy to clear the stage.
