Strategy/Usage

D'arktanyan deals massive damage to all Traitless enemies, which is a huge advantage as there aren't many other units with abilities affecting Traitless enemies. His Long Distance ability allows him to hit enemies beyond his standing range, which is also useful as he has quite a short standing range. When protected properly, even Deadly Stages such as Deathhawk and Ogre Island are easy to defeat before even clearing Into the Future, and all of the Crazed Cat Stages can be soloed by him, as long as you have decent meatshields. Notably, the only Crazed Cat that outranges him is Crazed Tank Cat, as debuted in Absolute Defence; which is also paralleled in Vulcanizer by Manic Eraser Cat.

He is also immune to wave attacks, making enemies such as Dober P.D and Hermit Cat a lot easier to defeat.

When strengthened, D'arktanyan's already high damage skyrockets, reaching about 112,200 damage per hit against White Enemies at Level 30 (There are no Treasures that boosts effects against Traitless.) 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 have a longer range than him, as he can be easily knocked back (unless you are confident he is able to attack before getting knocked back). Thus, it is recommended to use him only in stages where he will outrange the enemies, or on stages where there are many peons at the front for him to put his Long Distance ability to good use.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Dark version of Meow-sketeer, with only 1 cat on his head instead of 3.
• Evolved Form: Now carries a sword alight with blue flame and wears an eyepatch over his left eye. He has 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. The cat on his head is now wearing a bandage and has grown much more hair. The cat also has stripes.
