Strategy/Usage

Very similar to Cat in terms of usage. Cheap and expendable, it can be summoned in masses to take hits in place of other, more important units. This meatshield role is quite valuable, if not for the wide selection of cats able to perform this role much better due to faster speed. Boogie Cat, however, can be accessed much earlier than most alternatives and can be used in 4 stars stages, where there is considerably less competition. This is his only use.

Boogie Cat's slow movement speed can be used to prevent Zombies from burrowing or certain slow units from unleashing dangerous attacks, as the likes of Crazed Cat can sometimes slip into the range of a unit with a powerful Omni Strike attack, for example, and cause them to attack and ruin everything.

Notably, his Cat Combo Feel the Dance can be used in many Stories of Legend stages to great effect, especially later, if the cats involved are raised to their full potential.

True Form

Gato Amigo's minimal health and range, three knockbacks, Single Target and slowish attack animation often result in his death before he can make any use of his Knockback ability. The only notable enemies for which it might be useful are One Horn, Cyberhorn, Oldhorn, Kid Tappa, Li'l Zyclone, Miss Haka and Big Sal, due to their low range. However, it is still an unreliable 5% chance, meaning Amigo may not even proc no matter what setup you use.

For early Uncanny Legends, Gato Amigo does work as a short-term counter to Oldhorn. In stages such as Annin Pass, Utsubobo Seamount, and Seahorse Siren, there are not a large amount of them to counter, making his single-target attack less of a problem.

Talents

With Surge immunity, Gato Amigo becomes the only meatshield immune to Surge Attack in the game. Due to his slowness, he can't completely prevent most Surge Attackers from advancing, but his spammability can greatly reduce the amount of ground lost when a Surge hits your frontlines. Use him with Talented Beefcake Cat for an excellent Anti-Surge combo.

Knockback up is a double-edged sword, but does help against some short ranged enemies, while the other talents are a waste of NP, as almost nobody can slow or freeze this cat without killing it too, regardless of health up talent or boost.
