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, and all of the Crazed Cat Stages become a joke if you have him. Notably, the only Crazed Cats that outrange him is Crazed Tank Cat, Crazed Axe, Crazed Lizard, and Crazed Bird, but usually D'ark is able to be Strengthened by them, which usually ends in defeat for them. 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 (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 outrange 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.

Despite him being anti-traitless, he is still amazing for traited enemies with his 10k strengthened dps, which is amongst the highest ones in the game for general LD attackers. Note that his dps against traited while strengthened is nearly as much as D'artanyan's dps against traited.

Appearance

• Normal Form: 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.
