Enemy

The Black Cyclone has short range, medium movement speed and extremely high DPS, but its damage per hit is relatively low. Like many Black enemies it also has numerous knockbacks, at 10.

Strategy

Cyclones are notoriously weak to crowd-control, and that goes double for Black Cyclone. With two easily countered traits, any combination of anti-Floating and/or anti-Black units with slow or freeze abilities can put an end to Black Cyclone's onslaught, some examples being Flower Cat, Cat Gunslinger, Bodhisattva Cat, Bishop Cat and Oda Nobunaga. Stack cheap attackers like Salon Cat and Mer-Cat to keep the peons at bay, but do stay mindful of the Nyandam in Attack on B-Cyclone and Wrath of B-Cyclone and the Kurosawah in Doom Paradise, for Black Cyclone's knockbacks can easily draw your units into the backliner's range.
