Guided by Currents is the 2nd stage of Bottom of the Swamp. Previous stage: Flow Like the Stream. Next stage: Water Conservancy.
STALL STAGEWith the usual carries restricted, the Stone-stalling plan (Macho Crystal Cat + Stone Cat) is the way through.
The restriction looks worse than it plays — Weightlifter Cat, Bahamut Cat, Nerd Cat and the Healer cheese are all gone.
- If you own Glass Cat, Lone Cat and Kitten, and Stone Cat, the same Stone stalling strategy still works.
- Attack and meatshield with Mer-Cat, whose range keeps it outside Kappy Jr.'s reach.
- Ancient Egg: N101 and Slime Cat carry the damage from there.
PICCOLAN PASALAN S all EPICFEST Ubers and units like Assassinlan Pasalan and Piccolan Pasalan. It's recommended you don't bring Ubers with Crowd-Control abilities anyways though, since they may alter your Boulder Cat's timing. 
BOULDER CAT A all EPICFEST Ubers and units like Assassinlan Pasalan and Piccolan Pasalan. It's recommended you don't bring Ubers with Crowd-Control abilities anyways though, since they may alter your Boulder Cat's timing. 
LONE CAT AND KITTEN A With support from Tourist and Macho Crystal Cat, you can subdue Kappy Jr. quite easily, not to mention alien targeting as well to keep the Scissoroos in check. 
MACHO CRYSTAL CAT A With support from Tourist and Macho Crystal Cat, you can subdue Kappy Jr. quite easily, not to mention alien targeting as well to keep the Scissoroos in check. Do watch out for any potential surges and you may not even need Boulder Cat. ⚙ Trait counters worked out from the roster — not the plan on this stage, kept for reference
