22-1 THE RED CARPET
22-1 The Red Carpet is the 1st stage of 22 — Prince of Darkness. Next stage: 22-2 The Bathroom.
Trolly Blogger debuts. Long stall fight; THE SLOTH appears alongside many Celeboodles.
THE SLOTH is Traitless. Anti-Traitless units take less damage and deal more.
HITMAN CAT A Hitman Cat: Deals massive damage to Traitless enemies 
BOWLER CAT A The Slow lands on Traitless enemies — great for stalling the many Traitless bosses across Empire of Cats and Into the Future. 
DRILLER CAT A 100% Weakens Traitless to 10% and (True) Strong vs Traitless. Also fits “Out-range THE SLOTH.” 
D'ARKTANYAN S Strong Against Traitless on a Long-Distance area attack — answers the many Traitless bosses. 
JAGANDO JR. A Lord of Ruin Jagando Jr.: Strong against Traitless enemies (Deals 1.5x damage, only takes 1/2 damage) THE SLOTH reaches 450 range. Units that out-range it can chip safely without taking hits.
MEDITATION CAT C Range 600 — fires from beyond its 450. 
ADULT CAT B Range 475 — fires from beyond its 450. DRILLER CAT A Range 460 — fires from beyond its 450. Also fits “Counter Traitless.” 
CHILD OF DESTINY PHONO S Range 600 — fires from beyond its 450. Also fits “Burst the boss down.” 
NERD CAT A Range 1200 — fires from beyond its 450. THE SLOTH has a deep HP pool (300,000+ even before stage magnification). Heavy single-target burst shortens the fight.
BAHAMUT CAT S Huge multi-hit burst — a story-unlock powerhouse that deletes tanky enemies. 
MIGHTY REKON KORPS S Among the highest single-hit Area damage available. Also fits “Out-range THE SLOTH.” 
GAIA THE CREATOR S Long-Distance multi-hit with Insane Damage — a generalist wall-cracker. 
CRAZED MONEKO A Big crit burst against tanky/Metal targets. 
TECOLUGA S A 7,300-AP long-range hit obliterates tanky targets when the Critical connects. Also fits “Out-range THE SLOTH.” WIKI PICK = listed on the stage's Battle Cats Wiki page; COMMUNITY = found by title, channel and date. Neither is verified by Claws' Den.

The defining 'SoL attrition wall' stage. Two Trolly Blogger waves pin your front line while THE SLOTH (1.4M HP Floating boss) outranges everything from the back. r/battlecats consensus loadout: meatshield rotation (Mohawk + Eraser + Mohawk Cat) → AoE backline (Catornado, Drama Cats) to handle Trolly Blogger spam → Awakened Bahamut as the Anti-Floating Sloth killer. Common failure: trying to brute-force Trolly Blogger with single-target DPS. They have over a million effective HP at SoL magnifications — area attack or you lose. This is also the chapter's debut for the 'just bring AoE' rule that carries through 22-6.
