Strategy/Usage

Cat Gunslinger suffers from the same issue as Tin Cat and pre-True Form Flower Cat: he is a single-target attacker, when Black Enemies are typically spawned in groups. He is only recommended for Black Cyclone and Razorback, if the player has nothing better to use. However, if the player has Flower Cat's True Form, there is virtually no reason to continue using Cat Gunslinger against Blacks. He can be used with Cow Cat for the Rawhide Combo, which is a useful combo for finishing stages faster unless of course you haven't already gotten Put On Ice.

Talents

Once he is given Relic Target, his use is expanded to Relic Enemies in Uncanny Legends stages and Typhoon Nemo, as he is currently the only spammable cat that effectively slows Relics. His effectiveness remains limited due to single-target attacks and lack of range, but he can at least do well at slowing Relic Bun-Bun and Primeval Cyclone. Attack and Health Up have little value, but health up, combined with Curse Immunity, can at least improve Rodeo Cat's use further in a noticeable way. Improving the recovery speed is also important to facilitate stacking, since the slow chance is low. The use of Talent Orbs of any kind on this unit is not recommended.
