Strategy/Usage

Evangelist Cat shares many similarities with the Uber Rare Cat Balalan Pasalan, inflicting a guaranteed freeze from long range, having negligible attack and defense power, and recharging extremely slowly. Evangelist Cat has a longer freeze duration, faster movement speed, and a very cheap production cost, but otherwise behaves in a nearly identical manner.

With his ability and weak stats, Evangelist's main purpose is to briefly stop a group of enemies, which is helpful against groups of enemies with high DPS, like Crazed and Awakened enemies, provided you have a serious defense setup. As his stats are so terrible even at level 50, Evangelist needs proper meatshielding to protect him. Due to his long recharging time, it's rare to see a second Evangelist during a battle.

Due to having low survivabulity and no immunities, it is highly inadvisable to use him against Mini-Wave, Wave, or Surge enemies. However, he is mostly safe from all but the longest-reaching ones, due to his insane range of 1,000.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Looks like a monster from a sci-fi film. It strongly resembles an alien life form of some kind, possibly Pokémon's Mewtwo or Dragon Ball Z's Frieza.
• Evolved Form: Has the words C.A.T encrypted into its head and gains laser goggles that strongly resembles Marvel's Cyclops's laser glasses. Attacks by charging a dark orb of energy similar to Bahamut Cat's, then forcing it down immediately on the enemy.

Trivia

• The "legends" in Evangelist Cat's description are the PONOS employees whose business cards had the required serial code.
• Evangelist Cat looks like Frieza at True Form from Dragon Ball Z. Its attack also references Frieza's Death Ball.
• Evangelist Cat is one of the cheapest Uber Rare Cats, second to only Chicken Cat, which no longer exists and was never obtainable to begin with.
• Evangelist Cat is the only non-Special Cat to be obtained via serial code and the only Uber Rare besides Chicken Cat to not drop from Rare Cat Capsules.
• Even though Evangelist Cat is unreleased in the English version, he is still unlockable via hacking, but he does not have an entry in the Cat Guide.
• Filibuster Cat's design was used as a base for Filibuster Cat X. The two also have similar roles and abilities, but Filibuster Cat freezes almost all enemies while Filibuster Cat X only freezes Traitless.
