You can't stop anywhere near the majority of threats from burrowing. I've said this too many times now.. Kata is alright if you do stop the enemies, Dps is low and weaken isn't perma plus a long animation, but he's alright for it. Bomburr is better because his kb and tba can stop more burrows and he has considerably more dps.

The only peons that aren't a threat are znache and zoge, everything else has some high dps. If you get into lategame with 300% zombs, zroco has 25k dps. With that number, a lv30 kata lasts all of 9 seconds before being kbed. And that's just from one zroco. It doesn't help that he can't weaken or damage anything that burrows because of his blindspot.

Bomburr has 5kbs, he can handle the ones that do burrow quite a lot better. Which ones does behemoth counter more besides zamelle and daboo. Sure they're big threats, but daboo is in all of 2 stages and zamelle is pretty uncommon in a pure zombie stages as well. Bomburr is better for practically all of the others, so he's better for zombs. I just went through all the zombies in spica. The only other one that kata is arguably better for is face. And both are bad for mushashi.

You keep talking about daboo, kata isn't great for either daboo stage. Daboo is immune to weaken and the peons will shred kata. His dps is too low for him to accomplish much of anything.

That's not what ld does. It helps if the enemies have a backline, which zombies don't (only zomb stages with a backline use non-zomb backlines). Literally every stage with enemies has a Frontline.
