He was added in Version 8.0. True Form added Version 12.2 increases health, gains Colossus Slayer, immunity to knockback and toxic attacks.

+ Colossus Slayer [True]
+ Immune to Freeze and Slow
+ Immune to Knockback and Toxic [True]
===Pros===
*Incredibly high health
*Good DPS
===Cons===
*Long attack rate and animation
*Extremely high cost
*High recharge time
==Strategy/Usage==
With colossal health and insane toughness against Red and Floating, High Lord Babel can withstand the toughest of attacks from them while dealing a good amount of damage per hit. He can be used to keep Red/Floating pushers stalled while other attackers do the job, or to deal a few chunks of damage against ranged enemies such as Professor A. as long as there aren't any bulky enemies in the frontline. However, be wary when using him, since he has a very high cost and a very slow recharge time.
In theory he should be a great tanker, but unfortunately he falls flat. He has 390 range, which isn't very ideal for his role. He moves slowly, which makes it hard for him to slip through the blind spots of Long Distance enemies, while also having a very long recharge time, about 2.5x that of a regular tanker, and is also one of the most expensive units in the game. His only redeeming factors are his immunity to slow and freeze and his extremely high health against his target traits.
===True Form===
Babel gains several buffs. The first notable enhancement is his HP increase, improving his ability to tank his target traits. Additionally, he becomes immune to both knockback and toxic, which resolves problems usually plaguing slow tanks like him. This allows him to efficiently counter Gobble, Zollow, enemy M. Bison, Red EnerG, The Red Malice, Large Red Ball and possibly Black Okame. His Colossus Slayer has very few viable matchups due to his not-so-great offense and overall variety in Colossus Gauntlet design, limiting him to fighting J.J. Jackrabbit by countering its knockback effect and exploiting its dual-type weakness. Overall, this True Form isn't as expensive as one might expect, but the lackluster improvements mean Babel remains a disappointing unit for those who are lucky enough to own him.

==Catfruit Evolution==
==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A dragon resting inside a large white castle with various cannons and weapons. Babel appears to be made from or decked out in the same material as the castle; the only "organic" parts that can be seen are his head and an uncovered segment between his neck and his body. The castle is situated on top of a huge floating island with rainbow crystals poking out, presumably powering Babel's attack and causing the island to float. There are three large tusks jutting out from the front of the fortress, with an innocent Cat face underneath the middle one.
*Evolved Form: The overall colour scheme has changed from white to black, and there are numerous minor differences such as Babel's crest being replaced with horns and the castle's crenellations being removed. The rainbow crystals and - surprisingly - the Cat face remain the same.
*True Form: The overall colors have now darkened into a very dark grey, the horns and spike that lay throughout Babel are now tipped in a glowing orange-gold like color, rainbow crystals now peer through the cracks on the castle, and Babel also has wider eyes. The Cat face has turned Crazed as well.
==Trivia==
*High Lord Babel and Relentless Gladios are the only Dragon Emperors to have a prefix in Normal Form.
*High Lord Babel has the highest health of all Legend Rare Cats.
*High Lord Babel is the second-most expensive cat unit in the entire game, only beaten by Killer Cat and Killer Tank Cat, who are tied with 7,500¢.
*High Lord Babel and his design as a whole is a reference to the Tower of Babel in Genesis.
*Babel the Darkflame bears some resemblances to the dark dragon between Zorc Necrophades' legs in Yu-Gi-Oh!, with the biggest similarity being the neck.
*Despite his name, Babel the Darkflame ironically doesn't have fire anywhere in his design or attack animation.
*High Lord Babel is the first Legend Rare Unit to have a True Form.
