Enemy

Although Axoloty has a relatively long attack animation and can even miss at times, his attacks are devastating, with a 100% chance of creating a Lv.10 Shockwave. However, much like Curling Cat, Axoloty's backswing is so long that he will rarely (if ever) attack more than once.

Note that if Axoloty gets knocked back, he will immediately start another attack, making the default Cat Cannon a poor choice against him. He also has a Barrier with 10,000 HP, which can help to avoid knocking him back. Axoloty also has a surprising 450 range, being able to outrange most ranged wave shields you might use as well as being able to do massive damage to them, making most wave shields useless.

Strategy

Due to how he works, he will likely never advance after stopping for an attack, for this reason, it is recommended to stop him ASAP, to give you time to recover after every attack he does.

Fortunately, there are some ways to avoid his attacks. The first is stopping him close to the enemy base, push him behind and forget about him completely (only usable if he's not set as a boss, of course.) Also do not use LD, waves or the cat cannon as they may knock him back and reset his animation.

The second option is using an army focused on many medium-small units and replace them upon death, in all his CotC appearances this is a viable strategy.

The fourth option is Wave Shields; Cat Machine Mk 3 can tank the hits, while the others need timing, but it's doable, you only need to keep in mind that whoever gets hit by the regular attack will likely not survive due to Axoloty's surprisingly large range. Supercat is ideal for this as he is fast and can reach Axoloty faster, essentially "sniping" his shockwave.

The last option is killing him quickly or stun-locking due to his high knockback count, this can only be done if you have the right units and conditions, some effective units at stun-locking / killing him are Greater Balrog Cat or Power Saw Cat.
