Strategy/Usage

Use Catnip Dragon like you would use Dragon Cat. Their stats are inferior to even a level 20+2 Dragon Cat, which only gets worse once Dragon's True Form is unlocked, but their Massive Damage ability makes it stronger than anything short of a level 20+88 King Dragon against Black enemies. Unfortunately, the lack of Area Attack does not combine too well with the rush-down nature of most Black enemies, reducing Catnip Dragon to a support unit in almost all stages which feature said trait. As a result, they should only be used if their level is disproportionately high compared to that of their variants, resulting in superior stats.

Trivia

• This, Cat Giraffe Modoki and Catnip Tricky are the only Cat Units who can only be upgraded via plus levels, reaching a maximum level of 1+30.
  • As such, they and Superfeline are the only non-Legend Rare Units whose maximum level is not a multiple of 10 and instead a prime number.
