Strategy/Usage

It is not recommended to rely much on this Cat prior to unlocking its True Form. It can be nice against a lone Bore or One Horn, but he is rarely worth bringing over the more reliable Witch Cat, since she can be stacked and survives longer because of this.

True Form

iCat is a massive improvement over Apple Cat and Face Cat. With Area Attacks and a guaranteed freeze, this unit becomes invaluable against most Red Enemies, shining the most against Bores, this time even in hordes, Shy Boys, Capies and almost all common red peons. It only takes 2 of this to permanently freeze a Red Enemy, so have two alternate their attacks and you'll even be able to stall short ranged reds for as long as you desire, which, in stages such as Deeply Dreaming, can lead to a massive advantage, by letting you build up money or stack Long Distance units.

With help from Combos, a single iCat can perma-freeze any Red Enemy by itself! Some setup may be required to reach certain enemies in the first place, though.

Talents

Although Speed Up would help iCat reach Hannya between attacks or avoid certain Long Distance attacks more reliably, it usually ends up causing iCat to run forward too much every time the line advances, putting this unit in danger. Health Up and the two resistances are nice at most, but they will rarely make a visible difference, at least unless one wants to go all out with health, possibly through granting this unit + levels, Catseyes or a Talent Orb.

Attack Up makes this unit worse at stalling, only to improve a not-amazing DPS to begin with, so it's also not worth the investment.
