2-10 TRITON
2-10 Triton is the 10th stage of Cosmos Ch.2 — The Passion of Catgod. Previous stage: 2-9 Neptune. Next stage: 2-11 Pluto.
Kid Tappa carries a Barrier (up to 15,000 HP) — your hits are absorbed until it's broken.
Kid Tappa is Alien. Anti-Alien units take less damage and deal more.
Kid Tappa reaches 100 range. Units that out-range it can chip safely without taking hits.
Kid Tappa debuts as boss — 40,000 HP with a 15,000-HP Barrier but only ~50 damage per hit. Once the Barrier breaks, Kid Tappa becomes a free "stepping stone" you can stack Long-Distance damage behind — his attacks are too weak to push your line. Bazifenix breaks the Barrier; then Major Leaguer Cat and Crimson Mina print damage from outside Tappa's range.
Kid Tappa is the new boss — 40k HP + 15k Barrier, 50 damage. r/battlecats's framing: 'the Kid Tappa stepping-stone' — once his Barrier breaks, his ~50 damage makes him the safest place to charge meter for Crimson Mina, Polevaulter Cat, or Jellycat. Hyppoh + Shibalien Elite + Elizabeth the LVIth round out a manageable peon wave. Lineup: any Anti-Alien Barrier Breaker (Crazed Bahamut, Bazibon) → Mohawk frontline → optional meter-charging Ubers (Crimson Mina especially benefits) → Awakened Bahamut for finishing. Common failure: skipping the Wave-Immune frontline for Elizabeth — her wave hits multiple ranks at once and crashes lineups that haven't planned for it.
