Enemy

Aku Cyclone moves slowly and deals relatively low damage per hit for a Cyclone, but more than makes up for it with a 1,666,666 HP Shield that regenerates with 100% HP each time it gets knocked back. Since it has 1,666,666 HP itself and gets knocked back 4 times, this effectively quintuples its health if you don't use any Shield Piercing Cats. It certainly doesn't help that there are very few anti-Aku Cats in the current version of the game, and fewer still that can help when its Shield is up.

It is not a Floating enemy, despite appearing to float above the ground.

Strategy

If one is to own a cat with Shield Piercer, this enemy is made a lot easier, as you will only have to deal with a weak Shieldless Cyclone that can be slowed down by Cyberpunk Cat. Otherwise, since 4/5 of Aku Cyclone's HP is in the form of a Shield with protects from status effects, the only other way to defeat this enemy is with pure damage.

Bellydance Cat with the Target Aku Talent can be a great Meatshield against Aku Cyclone, as its debut stage only contains Red and Aku enemies. The Cyclone itself doesn't do that much damage either, giving her many opportunities to dodge. If you don't have Bellydancer Cat, make sure your dual Erasers are at a high enough level, as they can also stall this enemy to some extent. The Eraser Trio, (Normal, Manic, and Li'l) however, can permanently stall this enemy when it is by itself. Obviously use other attackers to deal with the support in the stage, some examples being Paris Cat, Can Can Cat, Cameraman Cat and Pizza Cat.

Trivia

• The text on its ring is upside-down katakana which translates as: "Devil: Unbeaten by the rain, unbeaten by the wind, bested by neither seal nor summer heat." This is a parody of Kenji Miyazawa's famous poem Ame ni mo Makezu.
• Its blades resemble bat wings.
• Its damage per hit and minimum money drop are both 6,666, referencing the Number of the Beast.
