Talk:Baby Gao (Uber Rare Cat)/@comment-33760559-20180402221249/@comment-33760559-20180424201727

Gao isnt even close to SS tier, not even S tier. Versatility doesnt make it all set, and DPS thats under 10k isnt enough to be a SS tier. Rekon corpse has more DPS than gao, even against enemies hes strong against. that extra 20 range is only good for sloth and master A, which are both traitless making their much better options. His base damage is low. even against things hes strong against its only 48960, not even 50k damage, sure he has more health but its not gonna matter because with decent meatshielding enemies arent getting through. rekon corpse may have lower health but he sure has enough knock backs to help him live, what if you fight something with high attack speed? its gonna have more time to do damage because gao doesnt get knocked back as often. not to mention there are 0 seconds between each attack. and gao is pretty expensive too. gao cost 6000 damage, while rekon cost 4500, sure its only a 1500 difference but in a lot of stages that gap can be hard to cover. especially rush stages. being immune to shockwaves isnt all that useful because there are only a limited amount of shockwave cats, and most of them dont have a trait. Also that "free 2x damage" isnt really a high enough chance to be reliable. even when it does 2x damage that only makes it slightly more then rekon corpse's normal hit. a 5% chance isnt high enough and you should rely on ubers with better critical chance for that.
