Black Hole Rising is the 1st stage of Dimension of Despair. Next stage: Wrath of Black Hole.
Cosmic Cyclone outranges other Cyclones, weakens your attack and gets a damage boost at low health — the Into the Future anti-Alien Treasures (400% minimum, 600% ideal) are almost required.
- Like every Cyclone it folds to crowd control: Seafarer Cat and Corrupted Psychocat both outrange it.
- Its support is minimal — only Shibaliens and Those Guys — so a lucky stunlock leaves the rest of your army free to take it down.
Alien/Floating cyclone: 1,499,999 HP and 9,999 area damage every 5f at 240 range, above average for a Cyclone. Its hits can Weaken cats to 10% of their attack, and its attack power doubles at 30% HP. Check your anti-Alien and anti-Floating units' range against its before relying on them.
