Strategy/Usage

Express Cat is basically a glass cannon, somewhat similar to A. Bahamut and other Rusher-class cats. With its super speed and strong attacks, it can be used to drill through clusters of enemies or deliver strong hits to a tough boss in-between attack frames. The Extra money ability is just a bonus that can be exploited against a peon that drops a lot of cash such as Doge Dark or B.B.Bunny.

Express Cat's slow attack rate and lack of knockbacks mean that it will usually only get in one attack before death, so think carefully about when to send it out. It is recommended to use it just after a boss enemy attacks, so it might even get in two or three attacks instead of being killed on the route to the boss, or if the boss has the ability to Knock it back. Using it against weak units with knockback or warp ability is also a solution for getting it to attack again, such as Shibalien Elite or Trolly Blogger.

Due to having only one knockback, high speed and instant attack, Express Cat can take out an unprotected Assassin Bear as long as it is not too buffed, if it is, then this requires immensely good timing or the Thunderbolt Cannon, so do not rely on this if you do not fulfill either requirements.

A great way of using Express Cat is stalling. Double the income means more money, so you can get your Worker Cat to MAX quicker.

True Form

Bullet Train Cat gets some stat boosts and extra speed. Although the increase to health and attack are minor, this makes it much better at dealing chip damage, which is its main use. Furthermore, its increased speed turns it into the fastest cat in the game, which is definitely worth something and makes it easier to time. Overall, worth the trouble of the stages which you must beat to get its True Form.

Trivia

• It has the second fastest speed out of all cats in his Evolved Form, tied with Immortal Yukimura and only beaten by Stone Cat.
  • However, with its True Form, it surpasses Stone Cat by one and becomes the fastest of all cats.
• Each of Express Cat's forms are based on a different series of Shinkansen ¹ passenger trains.
  • The first form is based off the 0 Series ² Shinkansen trains, Maglev Cat closely resembling the 300 Series ³ trains, and Bullet Train Cat resembling either the 700 Series ⁴ or N700 Series ⁵ trains.
