Strategy/Usage

At first glance, Cossack Cat's impressive spammable DPS is promising, but his range cripples him. He can only outrange 3 Relic enemies, which are Relic Doge, Oldhorn and Sir Rel. Against Sir Rel, he performs terribly because of his single-target attack, considering that in almost all their appearances, Sir Rels are spawned in groups or are supported by multiple other peons. Relic Doge behaves similarly, although he isn't as threatening as Sir Rel. He performs well against single Oldhorns, but when there are multiple of them, notably in Supervolcano, he gets easily overwhelmed by them and performs worse than area DPS units such as Manic Flying Cat would do against them. There are very few situations where this Cat is useful, not to mention that he gets outclassed by Slapsticks easily.

True Form

One notable improvement in True Form is that Royal Guard Cat gains higher DPS, with 5.3k at Level 30. Against his targets, he does 21.2k DPS, and 15.9k DPS against Aliens and Relics respectively. He has impressive DPS against Aliens, especially when stacked up. Even though he has terrible range and Single Target, his fast cooldown, health, and speed allows him to stack up and do insane damage. Even Chill Cat's Talents don't compare to Royal Guard Cat, making Royal Guard Cat the better anti-Alien attacker overall. Because Royal Guard Cat has such good DPS and HP, he could be used on any stage where there isn't strong melee units such as Winged Pigge. When stacked enough he is better than Slapstick Cats. He outranges very few Relic enemies and has Single Target but his health will allow him to tank most enemies and destroy them with the insane DPS it has.

The last buff he gains is immunity to Wave Attack. This is useful but is mostly just a nice thing to have. He cannot outrange Masked Grandmaster Cat, Gigahaniwan and Youcan but his overall stats makes it so that he can be used against most enemies with wave attacks and because of his high speed and damage he can be timed to do some chip damage to these wave attackers. His low range allows him to serve as a Wave Immune meatshield but far superior alternatives already exist.
