Strategy/Usage

Bronze Cat is a decent support unit against Metals. He can be very useful against tough Metal enemies like Metal Cyclone or Sir Metal Seal. He can also tank one or two hits from tougher Metal enemies. Overall, however, Clockwork Cat and Drumcorps Cat are still more reliable. Aside from reliability, knockbacks are a double-edged swords against Metal enemies. On the one hand, the ability to keep them from advancing is generally nice, especially due to the lack of Metal backliners. However, there are some situations where doing so is disadvantageous, such as knocking a potential target out of Waitress Cat's range while she goes through her long foreswing, or knocking a more threatening enemy behind more annoying peons such as Metal Doge.

True Form

Quizmaster Cat gains 30 more range, more attack power, and an extra 10% chance to knockback Metal enemies. The range buff can be helpful in some certain cases, like now being able to outrange Super Metal Hippoe, but the attack buff can be ignored as this unit is not meant for general use. You might think the higher knockback chance is nice, however it comes with a severe cost that is explained below.

At the cost of all of these useful perks, Quizmaster Cat's attack rate is severely longer. So while it can now be kept alive more easily and outrange more enemies, a single Quizmaster Cat is not as reliable of a crowd-controller compared to its previous forms, even against Super Metal Hippoe.

Appearance

• Normal Form: A scholar-like humanoid cat that has black legs and is made of bronze (the bluish-green colour gives it away).
• Evolved Form: The cat is now referencing Dying Slave, the sculpture by Michelangelo. Attack animation remains similar to Butterfly Cat's.
• True Form: The cat is no longer a statue! It wears a red suit, a red top hat with white stars and a blue bow tie. The block has a blue and white stripes with a Cat symbol accompanied by multiple tiny stars over its head. Attacks by slamming the button, followed by a paddle with a red circle popping up from the hat and the cat breaks the block.

Trivia

• The pose Bronze Cat and Quizmaster Cat strike after attacking is the Colombia Pose, a Japanese Internet meme which originated from the quiz show Panel Quiz Attack 25.
  • The line, "although the questions are pretty easy," in Quizmaster Cat's description can also be applied to Quiz Master 25. In fact, it became a meme because of how many easy questions the original Colombia Poser got wrong despite ultimately winning.
• Quizmaster Cat's attack animation is perhaps a reference to Japanese-style quiz/game shows. The red circle is always used to symbolise that the person has answered correctly. Thus, the cat is triumphing.
• The overall attire of Quizmaster Cat seems to resemble Uncle Sam, a personification of the United States government. The colour theme supports this in a way.
