Understanding The Battle Bricks Lil’ Battlers System
Before we dive into the specific unlocking process, let me explain what makes Lil’ Battlers special in The Battle Bricks. Created by Tumore and launched in September 2022, The Battle Bricks has become one of Roblox’s most challenging tower defense experiences. The Lil’ Battlers are miniature versions of the chapter bosses, rewarded to players who demonstrate complete mastery of each chapter.
There are currently eight Lil’ Battlers in the game, each unlocked by achieving 3-star perfection on all stages within their respective chapters:
- Lil’ Doombringer (Chapter 1)
- Lil’ Turking (Chapter 2)
- Lil’ EXEC (Chapter 3)
- Lil’ Cesus (Chapter 4) ← This is what we’re focusing on
- And more from subsequent chapters
What makes Lil’ Cesus and Lil’ Chronos particularly special is their unique dual-form mechanic and incredible damage output that rivals many legendary battlers.
How to Unlock Lil Cesus in 2026?
Step 1: Reach Chapter 4 – Across Heaven
First things first – you need to progress through The Battle Bricks story mode until you unlock Chapter 4, titled “Across Heaven.” This chapter becomes available after completing Chapters 1-3, which means you’ve already proven yourself against Doombringer, Turking, and EXEC.
Pro Tip: You can complete earlier chapters on Casual mode to progress faster if you’re struggling. However, I highly recommend practicing on Normal mode to build the skills you’ll need for Chapter 4’s perfect clear.
Step 2: Understand the 3-Star System
The Battle Bricks uses a star rating system to measure your performance on each stage:
- 1 Star: Complete the stage
- 2 Stars: Meet specific stage objectives
- 3 Stars: Perfect clear with all objectives completed
For Lil Cesus, you need 3 stars on all 30 stages in Chapter 4. Yes, all thirty. This includes:
- 20 regular stages
- Challenge stages (every 5th stage: 5, 15, 25)
- Boss stages (every 10th stage: 10, 20)
- The Final Boss stage (Stage 30: Teapots of Utopia)
Step 3: Build Your Optimal Loadout
Based on my experience and community strategies from the official Battle Bricks Discord, here’s the loadout that works best for Chapter 4:
Essential Battlers:
- Battler (Starting unit) – Cost-effective meatshield
- Trowel – Cheap defense for early game
- Titan Battler – Your main tank for Cesus
- Teapot Battler – Excellent crowd control
- Sniper/Cyber Battler – Consistent DPS
- Ivory or Iota – High damage dealer
- Lil’ X-TREME or Lil’ EXEC – Your power units from previous chapters
Recommended Banks/Cannons:
- Investment Bank – Level it to 7-12 for economy boost
- Recoil Bank – Alternative if you prefer aggressive play
- Treasure Cannon – Use strategically on tough stages

Step 4: Perfect Clear Strategy for Each Stage Type
Regular Stages (1-4, 6-9, 11-14, 16-19, 21-24, 26-29)
These stages introduce you to Chapter 4’s unique enemy types: Knights, Crusaders, Butcher Battlers, and the tanky Newell Battler. Here’s my proven strategy:
- Start with economy: Place your bank and upgrade it 2-3 times before deploying battlers
- Establish frontline: Use Battler and Trowel as your first line of defense
- Add tanks: Deploy Titan Battler once enemies start pushing
- Build backline: Place Teapot, Sniper, and Ivory behind your tanks
- Save abilities: Don’t waste your Treasure Cannon on weak waves
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Overcommitting expensive units too early
- Neglecting bank upgrades for immediate gratification
- Not managing your cooldowns properly
- Forgetting about enemy traits (Angels have resistance to certain damage types)
Challenge Stages (5, 15, 25)
Challenge stages have increased base HP and enemy strength multipliers. These reward 50 Bricks per completion and are crucial checkpoints.
Stage 5 Strategy:
Focus on economy building. The enemy waves are manageable, so prioritize getting your Investment Bank to level 7+ before the final wave.
Stage 15 Strategy:
You’ll face TAAAAAANK! introducing Titan Battlers as enemies. These are extremely tanky, so focus fire with multiple DPS units. Don’t try to tank them – kite and burst.
Stage 25 Strategy:
Tea-Hee Time introduces Teapot Battlers and Newell Battlers as enemies. These units can overwhelm your defense if not handled properly. Use Lil’ X-TREME’s backline killing capability to great effect here.
Boss Stages (10, 20)
Boss stages reward 100 Bricks and introduce major enemy commanders. These are significantly harder than regular stages.
Stage 10: Mid-chapter boss battle. Use Liberty (if you have it) to keep units alive during special attacks.
Stage 20: Prepare for intense combat. The boss has multiple phases and can wipe your units with area attacks. Stack your Ivory/Iota damage and use Cyber for sustained DPS.
Step 5: Conquer the Final Boss – Teapots of Utopia (Stage 30)
This is it – the stage that stands between you and Lil Cesus. Stage 30 features Cesus, the god-like entity boss (or Chronos/Cross on Tumore difficulty, but we’re focusing on Casual/Normal mode for the Lil Cesus unlock).
Cesus Fight Breakdown:
Phase 1: The Approach
- Cesus slowly walks toward your base
- He attacks with a 3-hit hammer combo using his gravity hammer
- Throws teapots at enemies out of range
- Strategy: Build up your Investment Bank to level 12 while sending out Titans to stall. Every two Titans, send a Teapot Battler for support.
Phase 2: Enhanced Power (50% HP)
- Cesus’s attacks become stronger
- Last hit of his combo now summons 3 falling teapots
- Increased aggression and damage
- Strategy: Start deploying your DPS units: Cyber, Sniper, Ivory, and Lil’ X-TREME. Focus fire to push through this phase quickly.
Phase 3: Going Nuts (Critical HP)
- Cesus enters a frenzy state
- Becomes a fast-spinning helicopter
- Shoots multiple teapots at enemies
- Can grab and instantly kill units (Repiece ability)
- Strategy: This is where most runs fail. Keep units coming consistently. Don’t deploy your most expensive units when Cesus is low because he might grab them. Use Teapot Battlers for crowd control and Cyber/Slasher for backline protection against Trusses.
Critical Tips for 3-Star Success:
- Never let your base fall below 50% HP for the 3-star requirement
- Manage your economy – a level 12 Investment Bank makes the difference
- Time your Treasure Cannon for when Cesus “goes nuts”
- Watch for the Repiece grab animation – don’t feed him expensive units
- Bring Liberty if available for keeping units alive through Phase 3
Loadout Reminder:
- Investment + Recoil (Banks)
- Battler, Trowel, Titan (Core units)
- Teapot, Cyber, Sniper, Ivory (DPS/Control)
- Lil’ X-TREME (Power unit)
Step 6: Claim Your Badge and Unlock Lil Cesus
Once you’ve secured 3 stars on all 30 stages, you’ll automatically receive the “Spilled the Tea” badge. This badge description reads: “Just some false god that they want you believe in” – a reference to Cesus’s lore as a false deity.
Important: After earning the badge, Lil Cesus will instantly appear in your shop for FREE. No Bricks, no XP, completely free. Simply navigate to your shop and you’ll see him available for deployment.
If Lil Cesus doesn’t appear immediately after earning the badge, try these troubleshooting steps:
- Exit to the main menu and rejoin the game
- Refresh your shop interface
- Check your badges to confirm you received “Spilled the Tea”
- Restart Roblox if the issue persists
How to Evolve Lil Cesus into Lil Chronos?
Congratulations on unlocking Lil Cesus! But we’re not done yet. Lil Chronos is the evolved, more powerful form of Lil Cesus, and obtaining him requires dedication and XP farming.
Understanding the Evolution System
Unlike other games where evolution requires special items or currency, The Battle Bricks uses a pure XP system. At Level 10, Lil Cesus will automatically and permanently transform into Lil Chronos. There’s no going back, no special requirements – just reach Level 10 and the evolution triggers.
XP Requirements:
From Level 1 to Level 10, you’ll need approximately 18,000 XP total. This might seem daunting, but with the right farming strategies, you can achieve this in just a few hours of focused gameplay.
Best XP Farming Methods
Method 1: Replay 3-Starred Subchapters (Recommended)
This is hands-down the fastest and most consistent XP farming method. Since you’ve already 3-starred all of Chapter 4, you can now replay these stages with zero pressure.
Why This Works:
- Stages you’ve 3-starred give full XP rewards on replay
- You already know the enemy patterns
- Can complete stages quickly with optimal strategies
- No risk of losing your progress
Top Farming Stages:
- Stage 1-5 (Chapter 4): Quick, easy stages for fast XP
- Challenge Stages: Higher XP rewards per completion
- Boss Stages: Maximum XP but take longer
Farming Route:
- Select any 3-starred Chapter 4 stage
- Deploy Lil Cesus along with supporting units
- Complete the stage
- Repeat with different stages for variety
- Check Lil Cesus’s XP bar after each completion
Pro Tip: Stages 1-10 of Chapter 4 can be completed in under 2 minutes each with your current roster. Chain these together for rapid XP gains.
Method 2: Endless Mode Grinding
Endless Mode unlocks after completing a chapter and offers infinite waves of enemies. This mode provides excellent XP-per-minute if you can survive long enough.
How to Excel in Endless:
- Use Lil Cesus as your tank/crowd controller
- Build strong economy early (max Investment Bank)
- Add consistent DPS units behind Lil Cesus
- Survive as many waves as possible
- Each wave gives increasing XP rewards
When to Use This Method:
- When you want hands-off farming
- If you enjoy the challenge of endless waves
- When subchapter replays feel repetitive
Method 3: Daily Streaks & Login Bonuses
Don’t overlook the power of daily consistency! The Battle Bricks rewards players who log in daily with bonus XP and resources.
Daily Login Rewards:
- Day 1: 25 Bricks + XP bonus
- Day 2: 50 Bricks + XP bonus
- Day 3: 50 Bricks + XP bonus
- Day 4: 75 Bricks + XP bonus
- Day 5: 75 Bricks + XP bonus
- Day 6: 75 Bricks + XP bonus
- Day 7: 50 Bricks + XP bonus
While the XP from streaks alone won’t level Lil Cesus quickly, combining it with active farming accelerates your progress significantly.
Method 4: Community Stages & Subchapters
Chapter 4 unlocks several Community Stages subchapters. These player-created challenges often provide excellent XP-to-difficulty ratios:
- Community Stages #4 – Accessible after beating Cesus
- Coil Chaos – Features Fusecoil boss
- Birthday Bash – Unique enemy types
- Muffin Kombat 2 – Catalog Muffin encounter
Strategy: Tackle these subchapters with Lil Cesus in your loadout. Not only will you gain XP, but you’ll also unlock new battlers and resources.
Optimizing Your XP Farming Session
Based on testing and community feedback, here’s the optimal farming loop:
30-Minute Power Farming Session:
- Minutes 0-15: Replay Chapter 4 Stages 1-10 back-to-back with Lil Cesus (≈800 XP)
- Minutes 15-25: Complete one Challenge Stage or Boss Stage (≈400 XP)
- Minutes 25-30: Do one Endless Mode run to wave 15+ (≈300 XP)
Expected XP Per Hour: 2,500-3,000 XP
Time to Level 10: Approximately 6-8 hours of active farming
Weekend Warrior Strategy:
If you can only play on weekends, dedicate one 3-4 hour session to pure XP farming. Mix up your methods to prevent burnout, and remember – every stage completion brings you closer to Lil Chronos.
Tracking Your Progress
Keep an eye on Lil Cesus’s level progression in your battler menu. The game displays both current level and XP needed for the next level. Pro players recommend setting mini-goals:
- Level 5: Halfway milestone – Take a break!
- Level 8: Almost there – Push for the final stretch
- Level 10: EVOLUTION UNLOCKED!
The Evolution Animation
When Lil Cesus hits Level 10, you’ll see a special notification confirming his evolution to Lil Chronos. The transformation is permanent and automatic – no button pressing required. Lil Chronos will now appear in your shop roster, completely replacing Lil Cesus.
Lil Cesus: Complete Unit Analysis
Now that you know how to unlock him, let’s dive deep into what makes Lil Cesus worth the effort.
Character Design & Lore
Lil Cesus is essentially a miniature version of the Chapter 4 final boss, Cesus. He sports:
- Robotic body with dark blue torso and black pants
- White teapot head with a slight blue hue
- Blue teapot image on his torso
- Black futuristic gravity hammer with blue glowing effects
- Clockwork headphones (darkened and retextured)
Unlike the original Cesus who emits light, Lil Cesus is darker and more subdued, fitting his “little brother” status.
Lore Connection: Cesus (and by extension Lil Cesus) is described as a “false god” and vessel of Chronos, the true cosmic entity. The teapot theme ties into the game’s quirky aesthetic and the developer’s (Clockwork/Tumore) signature style.
Combat Mechanics
Role: Tank / Crowd-Controller
Deployment Cost: $1,000 (Level 1) / $1,500 / $2,000 (max)
Recharge Time: 100 seconds
Movement Speed: 2 studs/second (slow)
Phase 1 – Standard Combat:
- 3-hit hammer combo (25 + 25 + 50 damage = 100 total)
- Ranged teapot attack when enemies are far (3 teapots × 13 damage = 39 total)

Statistical Progression
| Level | Health | Defense | Damage | DPS | Upgrade Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 250 | 8 | 25 | 6 | Free |
| 5 | 450 | 14 | 45 | 11 | 4,000 XP |
| 10 | 700 | 22 | 70 | 17 | 2,000 XP |
At Level 30 (Maximum): Lil Cesus becomes a true powerhouse with over 1,500 HP and devastating attack damage.
Strengths
✅ Excellent crowd control – Trip ability disrupts enemy formations
✅ Good DPS – Consistent damage output across all phases
✅ Quite tanky – 250 base HP with 8 defense holds well
✅ Three combat phases – Unlike most special units which have two
✅ Self-enhancement – Gets stronger at half health automatically

✅ Anti-Zombie trait – Effective against undead enemy types
✅ Death immunity – Cannot be turned into Carcass or affected by on-death effects
Weaknesses
❌ Long recharge time – 100 seconds means careful deployment
❌ Main attack can miss – Similar to Lil’ Doombringer’s swing mechanics
❌ Long endlag – Recovery time after abilities leaves him vulnerable
❌ High deployment cost – $1,000-$2,000 is expensive early game
❌ Phase 3 counters – Flying or very fast enemies can dodge teapot barrage
❌ Teapot Drizzle cooldown – 20 second cooldown limits spam
❌ Low ranged damage – Teapot Drizzle only does 39 damage
Best Use Cases for Lil Cesus
Ideal Stages:
- Stages with dense enemy groups (maximize crowd control)
- Missions requiring tank units
- Chapters with zombie/undead enemies (Anti-Zombie trait)
- Casual/Normal difficulty farming runs
Synergy Units:
- Behind Lil Cesus: Sniper, Cyber, Ivory for DPS
- Supporting: Teapot Battler for additional crowd control
- Tanking with: Titan Battler to share damage
- Economy: Investment Bank to afford his deployment cost
When NOT to Use:
- Against flying-heavy stages (his attacks miss)
- Time-critical speedrun stages (slow movement)
- Stages with instant-kill mechanics targeting tanks
- Early game before economy is established
Lil Chronos: The Ultimate Evolution
After grinding to Level 10, Lil Cesus transforms into something truly special – Lil Chronos. This evolution completely changes the unit’s mechanics and role.
Understanding the Dual-Entity System
Lil Chronos is unique because it’s actually two entities:
- Lil’ Cross – The messenger sent out first
- Lil’ Chronos – The true form that appears after Lil’ Cross sacrifices itself
This makes Lil’ Chronos the first unit in The Battle Bricks whose main almanac entry is actually a summon. When you deploy “Lil’ Chronos” from your loadout, Lil’ Cross spawns first.
Lil’ Cross: The Messenger
Appearance: Blue-ish cross with a transparent center containing a glue-textured sphere
Role: Kamikaze initiator
Health: 350 HP (Level 10)
Defense: 22
Combat Sequence:
- Lil’ Cross moves toward enemies (faster than Lil Cesus)
- When an enemy enters range, it slams into the ground
- Ground slam deals 25 damage and trips enemies
- Spins for a brief moment (wind-up animation)
- Self-destructs for 50 damage
- Explosion summons Lil’ Chronos from space
Special Properties:
- Omni-Immunity: Cannot be affected by ANY effect, positive or negative
- Cannot be targeted by most abilities once in wind-up
- Trip immunity: Won’t be knocked down while approaching
Lil’ Chronos: The Satellite Weapon
Appearance: Blue-ish satellite modeled after the Hubble Space Telescope
Role: Super-Nuker / Super-Crowd-Controller
Cannot be targeted by enemies
Attack Sequence (Fixed Pattern):
Phase 1 – Cosmic Machine Guns:
- Fires machine guns 16 times
- Each shot deals 13 damage
- Total damage: 208
- Targets enemies closest to base
Phase 2 – Teapot Shower:
- Rains down 8 normal teapots (25 damage each)
- Plus 2 energy teapots (50 damage each)
- Total damage: 300
- Area-of-effect attack
Phase 3 – Cosmic Hyperbeam:
- Charges and fires a powerful blast
- Deals 125 damage in a line
- Pierces multiple enemies
- Final attack before leaving
Total Damage Output: 633 damage at base stats
At Level 30: An absurd 4,808 total damage!
After completing its attack cycle, Lil’ Chronos flies back to space and disappears until the next deployment.
Strategic Analysis: Lil’ Chronos Use Cases
Role: Super-Nuker / Super-Crowd-Controller
Deployment Cost: Same as Lil Cesus ($1,000-$2,000)
Recharge: 100 seconds
When to Deploy:
✅ Against enemy hordes – The AoE attacks obliterate groups
✅ Boss damage bursts – 633+ damage is significant against chapter bosses
✅ Last-resort defense – When enemies break through your line
✅ Guaranteed damage – Cannot be interrupted once Lil’ Cross triggers
✅ Sneaky enemies – Works when enemies bypass your frontline
Weaknesses to Consider:
❌ Highly armored enemies – Can waste the entire barrage on one tank (Dark Shield Battler)
❌ Invulnerable states – Shieldman with active shield wastes attacks
❌ Weak enemy bait – Multiple weak units can absorb the AoE
❌ Fast enemies – Can outrun the Teapot Shower
❌ Long wind-up – Lil’ Cross takes ~4 seconds to trigger
❌ Killable messenger – Lil’ Cross can die before summoning Lil’ Chronos (rare)
Advanced Strategies with Lil’ Chronos
The Crusader Combo:
Use Crusader to pull enemies into Lil’ Cross’s range, triggering the summon early and positioning enemies perfectly for Lil’ Chronos’s barrage.
Timing Windows:
Deploy Lil’ Cross right after enemy spawns like Teabot or immediately following a Teapot Shower from bosses. This maximizes damage during enemy vulnerability.
Backline Protection:
When facing enemies that spawn behind your lines (teleporters, fliers), Lil’ Cross naturally positions itself to intercept them, making it an excellent reactive defense.
Economy Burst:
Since Lil’ Chronos delivers all its damage in ~8-10 seconds then leaves, you get massive value for the deployment cost. This makes it excellent for economy-tight stages.
Comparison: Lil’ Cesus vs Lil’ Chronos
| Aspect | Lil’ Cesus | Lil’ Chronos |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Sustained Tank/Control | Burst Nuker/Control |
| Stay Time | Until death (flies away) | ~10 seconds |
| Damage Type | Melee + Ranged | Pure Ranged |
| Survivability | High (tank stats) | Varies (Cross killable, Chronos untargetable) |
| Crowd Control | Trip on each hit | Trip on initial slam |
| Targeting | Can be targeted | Lil’ Chronos is untargetable |
| Best For | Long defense stages | Burst damage needs |
| Skill Floor | Low | Medium |
| Skill Ceiling | Medium | High |
My Personal Recommendation:
Both forms have their place! Lil’ Cesus excels in prolonged defense scenarios where you need a reliable tank with crowd control. Lil’ Chronos shines when you need massive burst damage to eliminate threats quickly or handle stages with enemy breakthrough mechanics.
Advanced Player Tips & Community Strategies
After consulting with top players from the Battle Bricks Discord community and analyzing dozens of successful runs, here are advanced strategies:
Chapter 4 Perfect Clear Tips
Economy Management:
- Start every stage by placing your bank first
- Aim for level 7-10 Investment before heavy unit deployment
- Balance economy growth with defense needs
Unit Deployment Order:
- Bank → Battler → Trowel (early defense)
- Bank upgrades (to level 5-7)
- Titan Battler (main tank)
- DPS units: Teapot → Sniper → Ivory
- Power units: Lil’ X-TREME/Lil’ EXEC (when economy allows)
Ability Timing:
- Save Treasure Cannon for final waves or boss critical phases
- Use base abilities when enemies stack, not on single targets
- Liberty (if available) should activate during boss special attacks
Common Mistakes That Cost 3-Star Runs
❌ Mistake 1: Deploying expensive units too early without economy
✅ Fix: Always prioritize bank to level 5+ before $500+ units
❌ Mistake 2: Letting Cesus grab your key DPS units
✅ Fix: Stop deploying when Cesus reaches critical HP and starts Repiece animation
❌ Mistake 3: Ignoring Trusses that spawn behind Cesus
✅ Fix: Keep Cyber or Slasher Battler for backline protection
❌ Mistake 4: Base taking unnecessary damage
✅ Fix: Maintain constant unit flow; never let frontline collapse
❌ Mistake 5: Panic deploying during Phase 3
✅ Fix: Stay calm, maintain rhythm, spam units consistently

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get Lil Cesus in Casual mode, or do I need to play Normal?
Yes, you can complete the Chapter 4 challenge in either Casual or Normal mode to earn the “Spilled the Tea” badge and unlock Lil Cesus. The game explicitly allows both difficulties, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. However, I personally recommend challenging yourself with Normal mode if you can – the practice will help you in later chapters and Tumore difficulty.
Is Lil Chronos a separate unit I need to find?
No, Lil Chronos is not a separate unit you need to unlock independently. Lil Chronos is the evolved form of Lil Cesus. You only need to focus on getting Lil Cesus first, then leveling him up to Level 10. The evolution happens automatically at Level 10, and you don’t need to do anything special – no items, no bricks, no additional challenges. Just reach Level 10 and Lil Chronos permanently replaces Lil Cesus in your roster.
What’s the fastest way to level up Lil Cesus to get Lil Chronos?
The most efficient method is to replay subchapters you have already 3-starred in Chapter 4. This provides reliable and fast XP gains because:
- You already know all enemy patterns
- No pressure to get perfect scores (you’ve already done it)
- Can complete stages quickly with optimal strategies
- Consistent XP rewards with no risk
Alternatively, Endless Mode is also a great option if you enjoy longer, continuous gameplay sessions. Endless Mode provides escalating XP rewards the longer you survive. I recommend mixing both methods to prevent burnout – do 5-10 stage replays, then one Endless Mode run, repeat.
Do I need to pay any Bricks or real money to unlock these units?
Absolutely not! Both Lil Cesus and Lil Chronos are unlocked purely through gameplay with zero premium currency required:
- Lil Cesus: Free in the shop after earning the “Spilled the Tea” badge (no Bricks, no Robux)
- Lil Chronos: Evolves automatically at Level 10 (only requires XP from battles)
This is one of the best aspects of The Battle Bricks – major progression rewards are earned through skill and dedication, not purchases. While the game offers optional purchases for cosmetics or convenience items, Lil’ Battlers are exclusively skill-based unlocks.
I have the badge, but Lil Cesus isn’t in my shop. What’s wrong?
This is a common issue that has a simple fix. When you earn the badge, sometimes the game needs a refresh to register your achievement. Try these steps:
- Exit to main menu and rejoin the game
- Check your badges to confirm “Spilled the Tea” is there
- Restart Roblox completely if step 1 doesn’t work
- Clear Roblox cache (on PC: Settings → Security → Clear)
- Contact support if none of the above works
In 99% of cases, simply rejoining the game solves this issue. The badge takes a moment to sync with your shop inventory.
Can Lil Chronos die, and does it count as a wasted deployment?
This is actually a fascinating aspect of Lil’ Chronos’s mechanics. Lil’ Chronos itself cannot be targeted by enemies, making it essentially invincible during its attack sequence. However, Lil’ Cross (the messenger that summons Lil’ Chronos) can die before completing the summon.
If Lil’ Cross is killed before it self-destructs, Lil’ Chronos will NOT be summoned, essentially wasting your deployment. This is rare but can happen against high-DPS enemies or when poorly timed.
To prevent wasted deployments:
- Deploy when enemies are grouped but not overwhelming
- Ensure Lil’ Cross has a clear path to targets
- Don’t deploy into instant-kill abilities
- Let some meatshield units go first to tank initial damage
How do Lil Cesus and Lil Chronos compare to other Special Battlers?
Lil’ Cesus and Lil’ Chronos are among the strongest Special Battlers in The Battle Bricks, particularly for their combined versatility:
vs Lil’ Doombringer: Similar tank role, but Lil Cesus has better crowd control with Trip ability
vs Lil’ Turking: Lil Chronos deals more burst damage, Turking has better consistency
vs Lil’ EXEC: Different roles – EXEC is backline DPS, Cesus/Chronos are frontline/nuker
Overall Ranking (Community Consensus):
- Lil’ Chronos (burst damage king)
- Lil’ X-TREME (backline killer)
- Lil’ Cesus (versatile tank)
- Lil’ EXEC (consistent DPS)
- Other Lil’ Battlers
What happens if I die on Stage 30 after already getting 3 stars on it?
Great question! Once you’ve achieved 3 stars on any stage, that rating is saved permanently. Even if you replay Stage 30 (Teapots of Utopia) and lose horribly, you still keep your 3-star rating from the previous successful run. This means you don’t need to worry about “losing” progress.
The badge check happens when you complete the 30th stage with 3 stars for the first time across all 30 stages. As long as every stage shows 3 stars in the chapter select screen, you’ll receive the badge.
Are there any limited-time events that give Lil Cesus or Lil Chronos faster?
Currently, no. The Battle Bricks does not have any special events, codes, or shortcuts that bypass the Chapter 4 completion requirement. These units are designed as prestigious rewards for dedicated players who master the game’s mechanics.
That said, the developers at Tumore occasionally run special events with XP multipliers or bonus rewards that can help you level Lil Cesus to Lil Chronos faster. Join the official Discord server to stay updated on any temporary events.
Can I use Lil Cesus and Lil Chronos in the same loadout?
No, because Lil’ Chronos permanently replaces Lil’ Cesus once the evolution occurs at Level 10. You cannot have both in your roster simultaneously. This is an important consideration:
Before Level 10: You have Lil’ Cesus (tank/sustained damage)
After Level 10: You have Lil’ Chronos (nuker/burst damage)
Some players actually prefer to keep Lil’ Cesus at Level 9 if they really enjoy the tank playstyle and don’t want to lose it. However, most competitive players agree that Lil’ Chronos’s massive damage output makes the evolution worth it.
What’s the meta strategy for using Lil Chronos in competitive play?
In high-level play and Tumore difficulty runs, Lil’ Chronos is used as a precision burst damage tool rather than a regular deployment. Here’s the competitive strategy:
Timing: Deploy Lil’ Cross 2-3 seconds before a major enemy wave spawns
Positioning: Let it activate when enemies are grouped but before they reach your core defense
