Long Distance Cats

These cats have a special ability called Long Distance. This ability gives the unit attack long distance.

This ability gives the unit a set distance or area which its attack affects. This value varies from each unit. It still has a "trigger range" where the unit will stop to attack.

Example: Red Riding Mina's effective range is from 300~600, but her trigger range is 435.

A Long Distance cat has at least three important parameters:

• Standing range. Safety. How far the cat usually stands away from enemy units. A higher value usually means more safety for the cat when the enemy army is advancing.
• Blindspot. Unsafety. How close enemy units have to get to avoid being attacked by the cat. A lower value means more safety for the cat.
• Piercing range. Backline killing. How far into the back of the enemy line the cat unit can hit, calculated from the most up-front enemy unit, or "max range - standing range". A larger value means capability of killing enemy units with greater range even when they are behind meatshields. This is the defining parameter of a sniper, as snipers are used to damage enemies in the backline. I.e. a sniper with zero piercing range can be viewed as a Melee unit.
