Corrupted Moneko has low range, many knockbacks and a multi-hit attack with a 100% chance of creating a Lv. 5 Wave Attack on the third hit. Unlike her cat counterpart, the enemy version can only Critical Hit at a 50% chance while the allied version is able to Critical Hit at a 100% chance. However, if she manages to make a Critical Hit and a Wave Attack at the same time, the resulting damage will reach 40,000, which will wipe out most units.
Strategy[]
When fighting Corrupted Moneko by herself, it is sufficient to send out no meatshields or only an occasional Crazed Macho Cat to trigger her attack animation. As long as no units with a range under 240 are deployed during her attack, she will be unable to produce a Wave Attack, making her much less of a threat. When there are other enemies on the battlefield, then just enough meatshields must be deployed to keep your backline attackers safe without allowing her to hit anything with her last attack.
It is ill-advised to use Metal Cat or other meatshields/close-ranged attackers who can survive the first two hits of Corrupted Moneko's attack, as they can easily give her a chance to unleash her Wave Attack. The only Wave Shields that won't backfire on the player are Eva Unit-00, Hatsune Miku: MM2020 Tokyo, Yaminora, and Doom Engine Pandora. However, if you can time Octopus Cat just right, and repeatedly sent him out whenever he's ready, you may be able to get in a loop where he avoids the first attacks, then gets in corrupted moneko's range and blocks the guaranteed wave. In her in THE MOON encounter, This may be ruined by the constant appearance of cyberhorn and bore.

Trivia[]
At 100% strength magnification, Corrupted Moneko has the exact same stats as Crazed Moneko. The difference is that Crazed Moneko only appears at 12% or 50% strength magnification, while Corrupted Moneko is at full strength in all of her appearances.
Along with Crazed Moneko, she was the first enemy to have an ability that only activates on one part of a multi-hit attack.
