This unit is a reskin of Warlock & Pierre that attacks different types of enemies. True Form added in Version 11.4 grants Toxic and Surge Immunity but loses Zombie Killer and switches its target to Red and Aku enemies.

Strategy/Usage

While they do have some rather heavy drawbacks, Bunny & Canard are a great unit to have throughout Stories of Legend. Likewise, this unit is very effective on the Red, Black and Zombie Cyclones.

Firstly, their usage against Black enemies is limited due to their long attack animation in tandem with most Black enemies' high knockback count, usually making their attacks miss often. It can, however, be an effective counter to Le'noir and Razorback, as Bunny & Canard is able to outrange Le'noir and utilize his huge damage against Razorback without fear of their attacks missing.

Against Red enemies, Bunny & Canard has a lot more usage, due to most Red enemies having low knockback count, so most of their attacks will be able to hit. However, even though it looks like they can be used against Professor A. due to their slow immunity, that is sadly not the case, as Professor A. outranges them.

As for Zombies, it is a different story, as Disciple Psychoduck has only two knockbacks. When Zombies unburrow into the back of a unit, the unit can only escape after suffering a minimum of two knockbacks from the Zombie in question. This does not bode well at all considering their knockback count of two, meaning they will have to rely on some other Cats to not take very high damage or even die before they can fight back.

Overall, this unit's best usage comes from its skills against Red enemies.

True Form

Malevolent Mad-Duck now targets Red and Aku enemies. His anti-Red performance is the same. On the one hand, he can deal immense damage to any Akus he hits. On the other hand, he lacks Shield Piercer, which limits his usability against Aku enemies or has him rely on other units to pierce shields where he can't just use brute force to beat them.

However, Malevolent Mad-Duck also enjoys two new buffs: Surge Immunity and Toxic Immunity.

Surge Immunity helps against Sinner Snache, Condemned Peng, Wicked Tank Cat, and Medu-san. All of these enemies are threats because of their surges. Additionally, none of them have shields, so Malevolent Mad-Duck can use his powerful offenses on them uninhibited. This ability also helps against Lord of Ruin Jagando, even though that enemy has a shield. This largely helps because Jagando's invasion stage features many Condemned Pengs, and Malevolent Mad-Duck really helps by clearing them all and not falling to their aftermath surges. Surge Immunity also helps against Red EnerG and the Surge Base.

Toxic Immunity, on the other hand, is only really helpful against High Priest Mamon, as no other enemies with the Toxic ability have a trait that Malevolent Mad-Duck can actually attack. This can help on some mixed stages, but he shines in few of those.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Warlock has gotten a new Nightmare for the Easter holidays! The new Nightmare, Canard, has a similar body style to Pierre, right down to the right-eye decoration (a flower) and top hat, but resembles a duck in general. Has an obvious egg protruding out of his stomach. Bunny is wearing a rabbit costume instead of his regular jester outfit, and the balloons on Canard's back look like Easter egg Cats. Attacks by lunging towards the enemy and getting restrained by the boy.
• Evolved Form: Bunny and Canard (now Psychoduck) get darker attire, with Bunny's rabbit hat getting bulging cheeks and Psychoduck wearing a color-inverted bowtie. The balloon Cats on Psychoduck's back now look Crazed. Attacks animation remains the same with the only difference being the egg that opens for a brief second to reveal sinister eyes.
• True Form: Bunny and Canard(now Mad-Duck)gain lots of color. They sport a purple and yellow color scheme with other colors sprinkled throughout, mainly in the eggs they carry.

Trivia

• There was a typo in the evolved form's description: it attacks Zombies and not Blacks.
  • This was corrected in the BCEN 6.5 update.
• Despite the description stating that it has "Massive Damage", it doesn't multiply the damage output, therefore it refers to its base attack power.
• Canard is French for duck.
• Bunny & Canard are one of the four male seasonal exclusives.
