Strategy/Usage

Metal enemies beware! Catornado attacks rapidly and, because of this, it often does AOE Critical Hits. However, this cat's use is limited to weaker Metal Enemies due to its abysmally low damage.

Overall, Catornado is a great anti-Metal unit and acts as the cat counterpart of the Cyclones (despite only being good against Metal). Even when he doesn't land Critical Hits, his godly attack rate can still shred weaker Metals such as Croconator, Metal Hippoe, Metal Doge and to a certain extent, Metal One Horn, but he won't work well against durable metals like Super Metal Hippoe, Sir Metal Seal and Metal Cyclone.

During Cats in the Snow, this unit can act as a shield to Snowball as they have low HP and Catornado has a godly attack rate, effectively destroying all incoming snowballs before getting hit.

True Form

Catyphoon gains improved health and speed. The improved health is helpful, but not enough to warrant a good True Form. The speed increase is also not significant and can even be quite bad in some cases, such as trying to cheese Final Tower. Overall, unlike most Cyclone drops, this True Form doesn't bring a lot of improvements, but is still worth getting if you're able to complete the stage it drops from.

Trivia

• Catornado currently has the fastest attack rate of all cats in the game (Chicken Cat had the fastest attack rate before it was removed).
• The cat holding an umbrella in Catyphoon could be based off of Totoro from the Studio Ghibli film "My neighbor Totoro".
  • Its whole appearance though, with the umbrella and spinning top, is likely a reference to Mary Poppins.
