Strategy/Usage

Not useful for standard, non-metal enemies, but Metal Enemies beware! Catornado attacks rapidly and, because of this, it often does Critical Hits. However, this cat's use is limited to Metal Enemies due to its low damage per hit, rendering it ineffective against non-Metal enemies.

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 Metal Hippoe and Metal Doge. Remember that this cat's underwhelming attack power affects the value of its Critical Hits, proving to sometimes only injure tougher Metal Enemies rather than destroy them.

If obtained early on, Catornado can still be used as an alternative to Cow Cat in early chapters (if Treasures have not been acquired). However, his slower movement speed gives him a similar problem to Mr.

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 without 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 is sadly the same and can even be quite bad in some cases, such as trying to cheese Final Tower. Overall, this True Form doesn't bring a lot of improvements, but is still worth getting if your able to complete the stage it drops from.

Trivia

• Catornado currently has the fastest attack rate of all cats in the game. (Although, Chicken Cat had the fastest attack rate before it was removed)

• He shares similarities to the Cyclone family, such as having a fast attack speed and being a cyclone himself. This may be the reason why you need to beat "The Perfect Cyclone" to unlock it.
• 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 a reference to Mary Poppins.
