Bahamut Cat (Special Cat)

This article is about the Cat Unit. For the Enemy Unit, see Raging Bahamut Cat.

Bahamut Cat is a Special Cat that is unlocked by completing Empire of Cats, Chapter 3. In True Form, Bahamut Cat significantly improves his attack power and movement speed, and his range and recharge time are reduced. As of the Version 6.0 Update, Awakened Bahamut Cat gains slightly increased attack power and hits 3 times per attack.

Strategy/Usage

Bahamut Cat has devastating attacks and is recommended for most of the earlier stages. Unlocking him makes early Stories of Legend sub-chapters much easier, as he can take out the majority of the enemies in just a few hits.

However, he suffers from mediocre health, very slow movement speed and even slower attack speed, making him very inefficient against enemies that outrange him or push very fast, like Crazed Cat, Master A., Camelle, THE SLOTH, Dark Emperor Nyandam's variants, most Cyclone variants and more, as he won't be able to reach them without being knocked back or killed, unless they are frozen. If he gets protected properly, it is possible for the player to stack up several of him. This is very useful in some stages like Dark Souls or Absolute Defence, granted one doesn't have better equivalents. Always keep an eye on him, as he can die easily otherwise.

True Form

Bahamut Cat's true form takes the purpose of its first two forms and completely flips it on its head. Bahamut's attack speed and movement speed is greatly increased, as well as its knockback count being doubled and gaining multi-hit. However, this comes at the cost of his range being cut by a large amount, changing him into a melee unit.

Use Awakened Bahamut as a suicidal nuker/glass cannon; purely rushing the enemy base or dealing heavy damage to the boss before they attack him. Be warned, however, as Awakened Bahamut Cat will die often due to his terribly short range and not-so-great amount of health, especially when it comes to enemies who outrange him/deal very high damage. Awakened Bahamut Cat is also very useful for taking out short-ranged enemies like Razorback and long-ranged enemies with slow attack rates, like Sunfish Jones. With proper timing, he can even enter the blindspots of Long Distance enemies such as Mr. Mole and Henry.

He can be put to great use in timed score stages, thanks to his jaw-dropping DPS and incredible movement speed. He can also create great synergy with Yukimura, but do note that they can make each other miss if spawned at the same time because of their similar speeds. Note that Blanka and Idi:N do not have this problem as they have slower speeds. Awakened Bahamut Cat can also be used to clear waves of low-range swarm enemies, such as Li'l Bun Bun and Manic Lion Cat, as long as he is protected properly because of his extreme DPS allowing him to cut through these enemies with ease.

Notably, Awakened Bahamut Cat's delay between attacks consists entirely of backswing, meaning that if he is ever knocked back by any source, his backswing is cancelled and he is immediately ready to attack again, meaning against enemies with Knockback abilities, he can deal far more damage. Due to his relatively low health and 6 knockbacks, little damage will also trigger him to inflict even more damage upon enemies.

While hard to master, with the help of a Sniper the Cat or the normal Cat Cannon, Awakened Bahamut can be used to clip through enemies and cheese a stage. A notable example is in Forest Beasts, where you can use a Sniper and Cat Cannon to clip through Manic Flying Cat and destroy the enemy base.

Appearance

• Normal Form: A colossal dragon/demon creature with large arms and claws. He has a horn on his head and a cat face on his chest. In his attack animation, he creates a large purple energy sphere and throws it down, creating an explosion. He mildly resembles units from the Lords of Destruction Dragon Emperors Gacha and Teacher Bun Bun.
• Evolved Form: He is now light grey on the back and head and looks more menacing and realistic. He now has black patterns on his arms that seem to be ancient writing of some kind and an extra set of similar wings. He also grew an additional pair of eyes as well as spikes and tiny eye-like pictures on its knee. The cat face on its chest now resembles a Crazed Cat, showing that Bahamut has become crazed himself. The purple energy sphere is larger and creates a significantly larger explosion (though his range and hit area do not actually increase).
• True Form: He has shrunk significantly in overall size, allowing faster speed. His posture is upright and leans slightly forward when flying. He has two smaller purple energy blasts charged in each of his fists while speeding toward the enemy at ten times the speed of the normal & evolved forms. He attacks by slashing three times with his energized claws (somewhat similarly to Sanada Yukimura's attack animation), then charges his fists again with an animation similar to Megidora's. The color theme is similar to the Evolved Form, with the wings being black instead of grey.

Trivia

• Bahamut Cat is the first and only Cat Unit to have level 30 as his 1st reduction point.
• Before True Form, he creates an energy ball very similar to the Evangelist Cat's.
• Bahamut Cat and his dragon-like appearance are a reference to the Final Fantasy series' Bahamut as well as the King of the Metallic Dragons in Dungeons & Dragons. Bahamut is closely associated with powerful magic called Flare, which is usually one of the most potent offensive magics available in DnD. The attack may be a sort of a "Dark Flare".
• The normal and evolved form takes 10 flaps of his wings to charge up another attack. This can be useful to know when he will attack again.
• There's a typo in Awakened Bahamut Cat's description saying his power and speed 'is' unmatched when it should be 'are' unmatched.
• Awakened Bahamut Cat has no idle animation in gameplay; it can only be seen when entering Into the Future Ch. 3 before unlocking him.
• Awakened Bahamut Cat has the highest base DPS of all Cat units without Talents.
  • Before being given multi-hit in the Version 6.0 Update, Bahamut's DPS was second to Greater Balrog Cat. Greater Balrog with Attack Up Talents still has higher base DPS than Awakened Bahamut.
  • Awakened Bahamut's base DPS is higher than his HP.
• His "unmatched" speed is beaten by a decent amount of units, such as Manic Lion Cat, Maglev Cat, surprisingly Capsule Cat, and more.
