Axe Cat is one of the Normal Cats, and your first proper damage-dealing cat. After that, he starts to become less useful than various other Cats. in Stories of Legend, he can still be used as an expensive anti-Red meatshield to deal with slow Red enemies. Useful against Those Guys, who can be a pain for newer players because of their high HP and decent attack speed. True Form doubles attack and health.

Cat
Evolves into Brave Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Dark Cat at level 20+10 using Cat Tickets.
Pros:
- True form doubles health and attack
- Good DPS to cost ratio.
- Strong against Red enemies.
- Fairly cheap, with a decent recharge time.
Cons:
- Single-target attacks.
- Lower health to cost ratio than other meatshields.
- Poor range.
Strategy/Usage
- Axe Cat is useful very early in the game because his damage greatly outclasses that of Cat and Tank Cat. It can be used for some offense in the early game. Damage the enemy before they are ready, and victory will come easily.
- Later on, Axe Cat becomes less useful when long-ranged damage dealers like Gross Cat, and especially Lizard Cat, become available.
- Axe Cat can be used later on as meatshield fodder like Cat or Tank Cat, but his higher costs and lower stamina make him more ineffective unless against red enemies.
- The misery for Axe Cat only continues when Crazed Axe Cat is unlocked. Manic Dark Cat, which itself isn't particularly useful, outclasses Axe Cat in every way.
- Dark Cat can be very effective against Bore. However, other Cats typically get the job done against Bore both more effectively and for a lower price.
- Dark Cat, however, is part of the combo Power of Dankness, largely increasing Weaken effect duration. He is also part of the combos Lust for Battle and Choppers, which when combined, increase cat attack power by 20%. However, the two latter combos require ubers (Balrog and Keiji, respectively).
