Strategy/Usage

At first glance, E. Honda looks like a great tanking uber- Resist against a certain target, short standing range, and the ability to knockback. Unfortunately, that is not in fact the reality of how good E. Honda is, primarily for two reasons: Underperforming base stats and the famous Mizli syndrome. Starting off with base stats, it is abundantly clear that when compared to some of the other tanks currently available, with the best example being Zamboney Cat. It is important to mention that E. Honda has the speed of a rusher; but that's not entirely good, as Angels have dangerous frontliners that reduce HP quickly, like Boraphim, Angelic Gory, and YouCan.

The issue with that is, when he knocks them back, he knocks them back into the range of backliners, like Sunfish Jones and the Nyandam variants. Angels are capitalized throughout the game as tough pushers; and on any stage with Angel pushers and any type of backliner, his Knockback ability will surely backfire on him.

Now for tanking. Why is E. Honda a bad tank, aside from a suicidal ability? Well, having 127,000 health at level 30 is good, right? Yes, it is. But as previously mentioned, even with resistances, E. Honda is not good at tanking destructive Angel enemies, especially when other traits are mixed in. A good example of a stage with such would be At Least I'm A Cat. E. Honda will be good for the wave of Angelic Gories; but after that, he is destroyed by the rest of the waves.
