Lizard Cat (Cat Unit)

Lizard Cat is a powerful cat, sporting longer range than its other ranged counterpart, Gross Cat, and higher attack power. Its cool down is somewhat fair in evolved form, but in its True Form, it is much longer.

Cat
Evolves into Dragon Cat at level 10.

Evolves into King Dragon Cat at level 20+10.

Pros:

 * Strong damage
 * Long range

Cons:

 * Single target attacks.
 * Somewhat expensive
 * Somewhat long cooldown (Especially in true form)

Usage

 * This cat is one of the best units in the game, with long range, high damage and high stamina. The cooldown is somewhat slow, but it is stackable. A big stack of Dragon/King Dragon Cats protected by meatshields like Tank Cat is almost unstoppable throughout the game. Support from Valkyrie Cat and Bahamut can kill even the mighty Teacher Bun Bun.
 * Do not devolve Dragon Cat back into Lizard Cat, as Dragon Cat has a faster attack animation and attack rate.
 * Stack it together with the crazed counterpart Crazed Dragon Cat for even higher damage potential.
 * True form grants more health and damage, but also increases the cooldown time. Therefore, in some cases, it's better to use the evolved form instead of the true form to quickly make a big stack for more overall damage-per-second. The general rule is: use King Dragon Cat on stages where money is scarce, and Lizard or Dragon Cat on more bountiful stages. However, there are exceptions.
 * Be mindful that this cat is single target, so it won't work well against multiple tough enemies. In such cases, use area attack cats like Paris Cat or Bahamut.
 * Use Lizard Cat in combination with tank units like Tank Cat, Crazed Tank Cat, Sumo Cat, and Bronze Cat to steamroll over everything in your path.
 * Good against ranged bosses so it will be protected by cat spam
