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. Bahamut is not without weakness, as he suffers from average health and slow attack speed, making using him a less than viable option when more viable units exist, particularly Uber Rares; and anything that outranges him (such as Master A.) will forever perma-knockback him, rendering him useless. Bahamut's slow movement speed is usually used to the player's advantage, as he can be stacked on weak peons before the boss wave of the stage, occurring on base hit. Dark Souls and Absolute Defence are great examples of stages this works on.

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 are greatly increased, as well as his knockback count being doubled and gaining multi-hit. However, this comes at the cost of his range being cut by more than half, changing him into a melee unit. Use Awakened Bahamut as a suicidal Nuker, as he will rush the enemy base or deal heavy damage to the boss before they attack him. Be warned, however, as Awakened Bahamut Cat will die often due to his short range typical of Rusher-class units and his low health. Awakened Bahamut Cat is also very useful for dealing a lot of damage to long-ranged enemies with slow attack rates like Sunfish Jones. With proper timing, he can even enter the blind spot of Long Distance Enemies such as Mr. Mole and Henry; part of the main strategy for Learned to Love and False Resurrection.

He can be put to great use in Timed Score stages, thanks to his jaw-dropping DPS and incredible movement speed. 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; but like his two previous forms, DO NOT use him against rapidly-attacking Enemies with a signifigantly higher range than him, as he will die while doing nearly nothing! On a much lesser note, while it is nearly impossible to master, Awakened Bahamut can be used to clip through enemies and cheese a stage with the help of a Sniper the Cat or the normal Cat Cannon.

Appearance

• Normal Form: A colossal white 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 event.
• 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.
• 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".
• 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 originally only dealt 85,000 damage; it was increased to 93,500 in Version 6.0, which gave him his multi-hit attack.
• Awakened Bahamut Cat has the highest base DPS of all Cat Units without Talents.
  • Before being given a buff in Version 6.0, Awakened Bahamut Cat's DPS was second to Greater Balrog Cat. When strengthened by his Attack Up Talent, Greater Balrog Cat still has higher base DPS than Awakened Bahamut.
  • Awakened Bahamut Cat's base DPS is higher than his HP.
• Awakened Bahamut Cat's "unmatched" speed has always been exceeded by Capsule Cat and Sanada Yukimura, and later updates have only added more.
