Strategy/Usage

Catman is a generalist in many regards. He does pretty nicely against enemies outside of niche, he has great survivability, good range and packs a punch. This may be further hindered by his somewhat long attack animation and really high cost, but he still remains a great choice in every part of the game, and this strength gets amplified when he faces his targets. Early into the game, Catman can be very useful against Floating, Alien and Angel enemies if you don't have any other Uber Rares but it still remains a great Uber Rare if you are limited in them.

For stages like the alien floors of Heavenly Tower and Cats of the Cosmos, this cat will make it seem like a joke. For most stages, Catman can easily take down usual Alien enemies without a problem. However, he may be faced with a long range enemy such as Galactic Overseer Nyandam or Spacefish Jones. In these cases, Catman shouldn't be used unless he can tank damage from them.

Normal Form

Its Normal Form has Massive Damage vs. Aliens and Floating. This is the form you will probably use the most due to there being an abundant number of Floating enemies compared to other enemies, along with carrying the same anti-Alien ability present in all forms.

Evolved Form

Dark Catman form changes his targeting to Angels. This is good as most Angel enemies have low range such as Angelic Gory or Boraphim, although he is not as effective against something like Sleipnir or Sunfish Jones. This form shouldn’t be disregarded, as Catman can still help out tons, and given that a decent chunk of Aliens are Floating, he doesn’t lose too much, and gains a great trade off.

True Form

Ultimate Catman changes his targeting to Relic enemies and gains Curse Immunity. This targeting change is questionable as he is very effective at nuking things like M. Ost, Relic Bun-Bun, and even Mr. Puffington provided a good setup, but can be attacked/outranged easily by enemies like Loris, Lowkey, and Othom. Despite this, Catman has had such immaculate power against Floating and Angels, and these powers are necessary to get somewhere in Uncanny Legends. While other units may be better to invest Elder Catfruit into, definitely consider Catman down the line.

Appearance

• Normal Form: A tall humanoid cat with a white mask and cloak, underneath which he wears a suit of armor. Before his attack, he disappears into his cloak before suddenly reappearing to punch the ground. Small orange feathers trail behind him while he moves. He looks up and then leaps back. His punch triggers a flash of orange.
• Evolved Form: Mask and cloak are now black. The ears on his mask and the cloak are larger, while his armor is heavier on arms and legs. Large black shards trail behind him when he moves. When attacking, his entire face briefly goes black except for his eyes. Also, when he punches, there is a purple light.
• True Form: Similar to his Evolved Form, but more detailed. His ears and cloak are even larger and more jagged, his armor is much heavier and orange light permeates his form. His suit pulses with orange light, not unlike how relics have green light. Also, there is a white flash of lightning when he punches.

Trivia

• His name and both of his forms, especially his evolved form, reference DC's superhero Batman.
• This was the first Anti-Relic Uber Super Rare.
• The visibility of the light can be seen from quick eye people to colorblind people as he changes forms. Catman's orange light is barely visible, Dark Catman's purple light can't be seen by color-blind people who can't see red and blue, and Ultimate Catman's lightning bolt can be seen even by color-blind people.
