D'artanyan (Uber Rare Cat)

For the EPICFEST counterpart, see D'arktanyan (Uber Rare Cat).

D'artanyan is an Uber Rare Cat introduced in Version 6.7 and can be obtained via rolling the Rare Cat Capsule during the UBERFEST or SUPERFEST events. Just like most UBERFEST exclusives, D'artanyan serves different roles depending on what form he is taking on. In The Battle Cats Unite!, he was added in Version 1.0.6 into the Cat Guide but was unobtainable. As of the March 15, 2024 Update Patch, he was officially obtainable in the SUPERFEST banner.

Strategy/Usage

Normal Form

Like other UBERFEST-exclusive units, the first and second forms of D'artanyan each play a different role. While his Evolved form possesses high DPS against traited foes, his first form can be quickly stacked to deal decent damage, even more thanks to his massive damage ability. His range is quite low but he makes up for this with his Long Distance attacks, allowing him to reach up to 360 range and hit past the front clash lines of the battle.

Evolved Form

Both D'artanyans are Long Distance attackers. However, his great speed (as fast as a Crazed Tank Cat) combined with Immune to Warp (which is mostly negligible as it won't often come into play) makes it so that the first Meow-sketeer will often find himself deep in enemy territory, for better or for worse. Additionally, if foes get really close, he can do nothing to stop them (His blind spot is 140 and less in standard, 200 in evolved; both only miss peons like the Doge family and a few other super close-range attackers. Brollows actually will rest 10 points inside his range and can be hit, though Meow-sketeer will have issues enduring multiple of them), though his many knockbacks can bring him outside the enemies' range. Aside from this, Meow-sketeer is a mighty unit with excellent DPS, but dies easily. So, unless the level is thick with Traitless, Metal or long-ranged foes, Meow-sketeer is incredibly powerful and a great choice.

His Long Distance is not just a little bonus, either. Reaching 550 range, Meow-sketeer can easily demolish backline support enemies in just a few shots. One of the most notable enemies he can counter is Tackey. With his semi-low range, high speed and Long Distance attacks, he can easily get inside Tackey's blind spot and hollow out the enemy force in a lot of levels. Of course, you need to make sure that your other cat units leave the frontline short-ranged enemies alive while Meow-sketeer snipes the backline. When properly used, Meow-sketeer is an amazing unit and truly a force to be reckoned with.

Overall, D'artanyan is a versatile unit, as his first form takes the role of a spammable attacker, and his evolved form shines as an extremely dangerous midrange rusher with anti-wave and sniping capabilities. Despite his poor survivability and matchups against traitless, Meow-sketeer is still almost unstoppable elsewhere.

Trivia

• D'artanyan's name is based off the captain of the Musketeers of the Guard, D'artagnan, also known as the Fourth Musketeer.
• Meow-sketeer closely resembles Puss in Boots.
• The fact that Meow-sketeer is holding a gun with his tail is probably a joke about the Musket part of Musketeers. A musket is a type of gun used around the time of the setting of the 3 Musketeers, hence the name (his gun does not resemble a musket, instead it resembles a flintlock).
• The three little cats could very well represent the three musketeers in the story while D'artanyan represents D'artagnan. The three cats also carry him in the first form while he carries them in the second form. This represents their motto of all for one and one for all.
