Battle Cats Progress Outline
This document contains a rough division of parts of the game into Tutorial, Early, Mid, Late, End and Post game activities.
Every player will have a different experience so do not expect this to apply equally to everyone. This is based on the rough difficulty of things if you do not have any broken ubers and play under normal conditions. If you have fest exclusives or use any kind of exploits, you can probably ignore this entirely.
Things in each phase are not listed in the order you should complete them, instead you should complete them in parallel, progressing more in each as you can, and feel like it, or when the stages are available.
