Strategy/Usage

D'arktanyan deals massive damage to all Traitless enemies, a good bonus considering the rarity of such units. His Long Distance ability allows him to hit enemies beyond his standing range, which is also useful as he stands only at 340. When protected properly, even Deadly Stages such as Deathhawk and Ogre Island are easy to defeat, and all of the Crazed Cat Stages become a joke if you have him. Notably, the only Crazed Cats that outrange him are Crazed Tank Cat, Crazed Axe, Crazed Lizard and Crazed Bird (which is better off countered by Anti-Floating units), but D'ark is often able to be Strengthened by them, usually ending in their defeat. This is slightly paralleled by their Manic counterparts.

He is also immune to Wave Attacks, letting him shut down essentially every wave enemy in the game.

When strengthened, D'arktanyan's already high damage skyrockets, reaching about 112,200 damage per hit against Traitless enemies at Level 30. This makes almost all Awakening Stages and other stages containing Traitless bosses a walk in the park, so long as D'ark outranges the boss in question. However, it is not recommended to use D'arktanyan against enemies that outrange him, as he can be easily knocked back. Thus, unless you are confident he is able to attack before getting knocked back, only use in stages where he will either outrange the enemies, or where there are many peons at the front for him to use as stepping stones for his Long Distance ability.

Despite him being anti-Traitless, he still has 10k strengthened DPS against traited enemies, which is among the highest in the game for LD attackers generally. Notably, his DPS against traited enemies while strengthened is also quite close to D'artanyan's. However, you do have to note that he does half the damage initially (Until the 2nd knockback). Therefore, the DPS is inconsistent, resulting in a lower average DPS.

Appearance

• Normal Form: A dark version of Meow-sketeer, with only one cat on his head instead of three. The gun attached to his tail is replaced by several knives.
• Evolved Form: Now carries a sword alight with blue flame and wears an eyepatch over his left eye, and has now exchanged the knives that he throws for a gun. The explosion created when he attacks is much bigger, and his expression has changed from a happy-looking warrior to that of a determined veteran. He also has many bandages wrapped on his left ear, chest, sword and right leg. The cat on his head is now wearing a bandage on his right eye and has grown much more hair, along with having stripes, a possible reference to Raiden from Metal Gear Rising: Revengence.

Trivia

• From July 14, 2023 to August 3, 2023, D'arktanyan, along with Shadow Gao, was accidentally made available in the gacha system in The Battle Cats Unite despite not being properly added in Version 1.0.6. This was later fixed in Version 1.0.7 when they made this unit unavailable until a future update comes out to properly re-add it in.
  • As of March 15, 2024, D'arktanyan was later readded as a playable unit.
