JAPANESE EXCLUSIVE This feature is exclusive to the Japanese version of The Battle Cats but it may also appear in other versions such as BCTW and BCKR!
C&D's Swordsman is a Rare Cat created by a collaboration event between Battle Cats and Castle & Dragon. This unit can be unlocked by beating the stage Because I'm Human with a score of 4,500 or above.
Not much different than your average meatshield. A cost of 75円, a low rarity for 4-crown usage, and that good old 1,700 health. Similarly to Axe Cat, and Gross Cat, he has offensive capabilities. This comes in the form of the Strengthen, and it should make him better than most other meatshields, but it’s only a little better. Plus, his damage is already terrible, so just use him like Cat, Tank Cat, Gold Cat, and the CrazedCounterparts for the first two. He can help to get some User Rank, if you don't have any cheaper (In terms of upgrade cost) or better unit to upgrade.
True Form
Swordsman of the Ming Emperor gets his strengthen power tripled. Sadly, something among the lines of “you can’t fix what’s already broken” fits this guy quite nicely. He was never meant to be used as damage, and nothing about him changes. It’s not worth getting the true form for just a strength increase, because being strong doesn’t matter when you are built entirely on the fact you are meant to die in one hit. The only reason it makes him better than other meatshields is because it’s the only change made to him compared to any and every other meatshield like him.
