Angel Fanboy is a weak enemy who serves to remind you that anti-Floating cats, such as Shaman Cat, un-TalentedSanzo Cat, Kotatsu Cat and Mer-Cat, will not deal anti-Floating effects to Angel Enemies, even seemingly floating foes like Divine Cyclone and Cruel Angel Clionel. He only does 1 damage with a long delay on attacks, has 5 health, drops almost no money on death, and is classified as a Metal enemy. He only appears in 9 stages, which renders him a glorified peon whose sole purpose is to remind you of enemy mechanics.
Strategy[]
His very low health and attack power make him pathetically easy to defeat, and at the points where you encounter him, he should be the least of your worries. With that being said, use any cat that you have to defeat him easily.
This businessman invested all his wealth because of an Angel. A meritorious guy who discovered that Angels aren't affected by anti-Floating special attacks after obsessively rolling Rare Cat Capsules.

Prior to Version 13.3, Angel Fanboy was the only enemy whose trait was not mentioned in the Enemy Guide, as traits used to be listed next to enemy names rather than in the upper-right corner of the Enemy Guide.
The reason behind his bizarre attributes is to prevent him from being killed in one hit before the player has the chance to read his sign, while not encouraging the player to bring an anti-Metal unit for such a trivial enemy.
When Angels were first introduced to BCJP, they were not targeted by the abilities of "anti-all" units such as Jamiera Cat and Ururun Cat, encouraging use of dedicated anti-Angel units. Though quickly changed, this was deliberate, as Angel Fanboy's Japanese description used to say that special abilities other than anti-Angel abilities would not work. Even after the anti-all units were updated to target Angels, Angel Fanboy's descriptions remained the same until Version 6.6, which added Youcan, an Angel who can be affected by anti-Alien abilities.
His English description used to say "Angels can't be hurt by non-Angelic attacks" instead of "Angels aren't actually Floating enemies".
His Japanese description used to say "天使には、天使属性以外の特殊攻撃が効かない" ("Angels aren't affected by special attacks, except for anti-Angel ones") instead of "天使には、浮いてる敵属性の特殊攻撃が効かない ("Angels aren't affected by anti-Floating special attacks").
The line "invested all of his wealth because of an Angel" in his Japanese description could be a joke playing off of the term "angel investor".
His advice is actually incorrect in the case of one enemy: Bears Be Back defy the rule by having both Floating and Angel traits.
In other languages that can be selected in BCEN, such as Spanish and French, the text on this enemy's sign is still in English. Angel Fanboy shares this particularity with Ms. Sign, but not Aku Researcher, as Aku Researcher's sign is actually translated across all languages.
Idi:Re is the only one that was not introduced in an event stage.
Interestingly enough, unlike Ms. Sign's sign which switches to English in The Battle Cats Unite!, Angel Fanboy's sign remains with Japanese text on and does not translate to English when switching the console's settings to English.
