Akio Yabe (Rare Cat)

Akio Yabe is a Rare Cat that is exclusive to the Power Pro Baseball Collaboration Event. It is acquired after beating its specific set of the Collaboration Stages. True Form gains area attack, the ability to perform wave attacks and has increased health and range, but loses multi-hit and has less damage, a slightly longer delay between attacks and a longer attack animation.

Cat Unit # 385
Rare Cat

Cat

Evolves into Akio Yabe CC at level 10.

Evolves into Akio & Gunder CC when obtained from its respective awakening stage.

Pros

• Moderate stamina. (Higher in True Form)
• Fast movement speed.
• Good attack rate.
• Can perform Level 2 Shockwaves in True Form. (100%)

Cons

• Long recharge time.
• Low attack power in True Form.
• Longer attack animation in True Form.
• Awful range. (Better in True Form)

Strategy/Usage

• Mostly useless, even in true form, but if you're in early-game then this can help in a few stages.
• The true form can be used as a peon clearer for weaker peons (Eg. Doge, Croco, Squire Rel Etc.) though Crazed Gross Cat is better for this.
• He can be used in 4-star stages as a replacement for Crazed Gross, although his wave is shorter, meaning that the range of the enemy may have to be lower for him to work.
