Talk:Warlock and Pierre (Uber Rare Cat)/@comment-37206611-20190117132743

Warlock and Pierre was my second Uber in my secondary account. I later got it as my 16th Uber in my main account. Many people love him, but is he overrated ?

Short answer : There’s no denying that his stats are damn high, but he also has significant weaknesses.

Longer answer : Just like the other Dark Heroes, Warlock doesn’t target the same enemies in first, second and True form. In his normal form, he only attacks Aliens & Floatings + deals quadruple damage to enemy bases. In his evolved form, he only attacks Aliens & Angels + gets double money for every enemy he defeats. In his True form, he only attacks Aliens + resists Knockback, Slow, Freeze and Weaken.

Now let’s look at his stats. All forms have 430 range, 8 movement speed, 8 seconds between attacks, 2 knockbacks and have a summoning cost of 6135 : this last point is one of his main drawbacks.

His normal and evolved form have 105,000 HP and 109,000 attack, while his True form has 158,000 HP and 163,500 attack.

I’m going to review all his forms separately, starting with his normal one. I’ll start by saying that the Base Destroyer ability isn’t useful for anything other than cheesing stages or making some levels stupidly harder (Atrocious Deco, Floor 19, etc.). I use him in this form the most often because tough Floating enemies are fairly common. Plus, Warlock outranges most of them. His fast attack rate makes him useful against Bun Bun and his son (he destroys Trouble at the Mansion). However, his attack animation might lead him to miss (this is true for all his forms).

Let’s move on to his second form. He is my only anti-angel Uber (except for Kaguya, who I haven’t leveled up just yet). Extra Money is a very good ability on such a powerful attacker, as he’s often the one to deal the finishing blow. He also outranges all non-event Angels except for Clionel and Sunfish Jones. He is one of the best units to deal with Sleipnir and Chickful A. If you don’t have his True form yet, I recommend using him in second form rather than first when you’re fighting Aliens because of Extra Money.

Now for his True Form. While he can only hurt Aliens, his stats are buffed by 150%, giving him the highest raw attack power in the game, as well as the 5th (?) highest HP of any Cat. He’s amazing in most alien-only stages, including some in the Cosmos. His immunity to debuffs doesn’t come into play that often, but it gives him the opportunity to help in stages like Close Encounters (Henry) and Swim Meet (Calamary).

Warlock and Pierre might be very situational, but he’s an offensive powerhouse who should not be underestimated.

In my opinion, he’s about A-, maybe B+
