The high energy cost of the cat ticket stages has made leveling them Not fun and im starting to think most of the strategies on this site were written by people who had them a lot higher up than I do at this point. Did other people farm more tickets somehow or what? I've found the catfruit stages to be a way better use of my time :/

And i mean, obvi many of the useful ubers/special cats have decent range, but so far reserving a slot or two for a non-uber ranged cat (except cyberpunk cat i like him) with no...super special ability or anything has been Very Much to my detriment because i could have put another uber/meatshield/something extra with a special ability there and i haven't found "can hit from far away" to be useful/special enough to have a slot all to its own, hence the confusion about how much dragon is venerated, both before he can be leveled up very high and after i would think almsot everyone would have drawn alternatives. e v e r y t h i n g tells me to use dragon and paris but...cyberpunk has slow and almost nothing will hit him as long as you maintain your front line. failing that, ubers, i think there are some other super rare cats that are helpful

so i guess thats better worded as "long range alone isnt enough to make a cat useful" because space is precious

I have crazed cat now :D

90% of the strats on wiki are garbage, don't rely on them. Cat tickets are really only worth farming on facing danger or just waiting for your daily ticket.

If you wanna beat star ocean none of your Ubers will do great for you, you have to beat it quickly, and stack up midrangers with area attack like paris so you can get past the h nahs, your Ubers most likely have too long of a TBA to beat the stage without midrangers.

Ofc Ubers will do better than low leveled dragons, but if you don't have several generalist Ubers that'll work in whatever stage you're in, dragons are the standard substitutes for something like meraser. Once you get later on you will definitely see the use of the other various midrangers, some of the best are seafarer, cancan, and camera, then there are ones that are mainly good against one type like slapstick and some Ubers.

For the other guy, Coppermine is about the top of C, so you could argue that she should be put near the bottom of C+, but she definitely isn't B-, her health is below average, kbs are average, range isn't very good, dps is slightly below average, pretty long animation, niche is pretty good, but really only helpful for stuff like f34, or when sanzo is outranged
