Bondage Cat (Special Cat)

This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy, see Ultimate Bondage Cat (Enemy).

Bondage Cat is a Special Cat that was added in Version 1.0 and can be purchased for 150 Cat Food in the Upgrade Menu after completing Denmark in Empire of Cats Chapter 1. In Version 3.3, True Form gains increased health and chance to survive a lethal strike. As of Version 6.5, True Form also grants Immune to Warp. Talents were added in Version 10.0. In The Battle Cats POP!, he is unlocked from clearing Niigata in Chapter 2. In The Battle Cats Unite!, Bondage Cat is unlocked when clearing Denmark in the Empire of Cats chapter and costs 75 Cat Food.

Classification does not include Talents

Strategy/Usage

Don't use this cat unless you are willing to invest in his Talents, as even in True Form, he is a much weaker version of Island Cat. This is due to his very low stats and range. In addition, this Cat lacks powerful combos, unlike the other purchasable Specials. He's practically useless against non-Red enemies, making him a weak unit in mixed stages like Technocracy.

True Form

Ultimate Bondage Cat's health doubles along with gaining Warp immunity and a chance to survive a lethal strike. By the time this form is unlocked, however, Bondage's stats have long fallen behind the standards, making these improvements inconsequential.

Talents

Talents change everything. With Health Up and Dodge Attack, Ultimate Bondage Cat becomes almost invincible against hordes of Red enemies, due to the powerful combination of good health and dodge chance against them, combined with a low recharge. All other talents are pointless without these. His slow speed still holds him back though, making other options such as Roe Cats preferable in many situations. Slow immunity is situational and should only be unlocked if a situation strictly requires it. Freeze chance can help when a strong Red frontliner is present, basically covering Bondage Cat's main weakness; a hard hitting foe who hopes to take him out before he can trigger a dodge.
