Strategy/Usage

Clockwork Cat is a nice anti-Metal to be added into your team. However, his slow chance is only a mere 20%, meaning it is not that reliable. To remedy this, Clockwork Cat is given a good attack rate and animation making his ability happen more often. Clockwork Cat unfortunately gets outranged by Super Metal Hippoe, as Clockwork Cat's range is only 170, and his high movement speed is somewhat detrimental if you are using slow movement speed.

True Form

Puppetmaster & Charley gets improved range, slow duration, and slow chance. The range is increased from 170 to 225 making him able to outrange Super Metal Hippoe. The main selling point of this True Form however, is the increased slow time going from 2.67 seconds to a whopping 6 seconds! Combined with this unit's fast attack rate, Metal enemies can be left slowed for a long time! The slow chance is also increased to 30%.
