Strategy/Usage

Cow Cat boasts high attack speed and movement speed, but deals low damage per hit, is easily knocked back and can only attack one enemy at a time. Furthermore, it is effective when used with other fast moving cats, as it will easily die on its own without other cats for protection.

It can be effectively used to speedrun stages; with a high speed and attack rate, it can plow through weak enemies straight towards the enemy base. It is included in the Rawhide Cat Combo, which is very useful for this type of approach. Cow Cat can also reach the frontline quickly to do some quick damage or to act as a meatshield when required.

This unit is very useful when fighting low health and low attack Metal enemies like Metal Hippoe or Metal Doge, as faster attacks will kill them faster. However, against stronger metal enemies with high HP like Super Metal Hippoe or Sir Metal Seal, this won't be effective.

True Form

In True Form, Lion Cat gains nearly double its original health and nearly double its original attack, at the cost of having a higher recharge time. Unfortunately, aside from the boosting of its stats, nothing else is changed. This means that Cow Cat is outclassed by his Crazed counterpart, due to its higher speed and Area Attack.

This matters especially in mid-to-late game Stories of Legend and Uncanny Legends, meaning that unless you lack its Crazed or Li'l variant, you will likely never need to use Lion Cat, as both have two things more than Lion- base stats, and immunities. You may use Lion to clear out peons, though, which is helpful for attackers with a long attack rate, like Soba Cat, although Manic Lion Cat can still do this more effectively due to his Area Attack.
