Strategy/Usage

Fencer Cat is good to bring along for Cats of the Cosmos, as well as other stages with Barrier-packing Aliens, due to its 100% Barrier Break chance and decent range. Using it against enemies like as Le'Solar, Youcan, or Kid Tappa will greatly ease the battle. Octopus Cat should be used in tandem against Youcan, as Fencer does not have Wave Immunity.

Fencer Cat is not only good as a Barrier Breaker, though; it can also be used as a decent ranged attacker if boosted, due to its high attack power and lower cooldown than King Dragon Cat. This comes at the cost of lower range.

Though its attribute of having just one knockback may seem to hinder it (since ranged attackers usually use knockbacks to escape attacks and reposition), Fencer Cat can tank attacks that would otherwise knock back other ranged attackers and retaliate, in a similar way to Kung Fu Cat.

True Form

The Kitty of Liberty has greater health, attack power, lowered attack rate, and a faster attack animation. These performance improvements do a great deal of help for The Kitty of Liberty's main niche, barrier breaking. To start off with the improved health and attack power, they are both pretty minor and about 2k each, nothing too special, other than The Kitty of Liberty's DPS jumping from 3.2k to 4.7k. For the attack rate, it was lowered by 30 frames (aka 1 second), this is not that much of an improvement at first glance, but when combined with the faster attack animation, which is by 30 frames for the foreswing and 2 frames for the backswing, it becomes apparent that Fencer Cat gets a lot of improvement out of this True Form.

Talents

The Kitty of Liberty has knockback, Immune to Warp, Resist Curse, and the standard Health and Attack Buffs as their talents. Starting with knockback, it barely does anything due to his Single Target and somewhat long attack rate, and if it did do its job correctly, it would actually worsen The Kitty of Liberty as a unit. Immune to Warp hurts The Kitty of Liberty as a unit, allowing him to not reposition from the warp of an enemy like Star Peng or Everlord Wanwan. Resist Curse barely matters due to his one knockback count. Stat buffs are fairly superfluous unless you plan on using him similarly to Kung Fu Cat. Even then, using cateyes first is recommended.
