Strategy/Usage[]
Gardener Cat works in a similar way to Catornado, attacking incredibly fast to make up for a low chance to trigger his ability.
Send him out to support your attackers and meatshields against zombies, as Gardener can stop them from wrecking havoc in the middle of your army when they revive or unburrow, as well as simply lowering the pressure on the frontline by paralyzing a single zombie. He can also help a lot in The Rolling Dead due to Zyclone's low range and speed, making it easy to create a stack. On top of all of that he has Zombie Killer, giving you a higher chance at getting rid of the Zyclone for good.
His attack speed make him decently fast at dispatching Metal Doges, Metal Hippoes or Croconators, assuming the magnification isn't high. While he's not recommended to bring exclusively for that purpose, it may still be worth considering in rare scenarios when the stage also features Zombies.
True Form[]
The increased freeze duration is a huge help for this cat, as it gives more time until the next freeze, effectively making it easier to permafreeze zombies. The increased range and health help a lot as well with his survivability, also making him easier to stack. It's a pretty noticeable upgrade, definitely worth the catfruit if you wish to use this unit.
Talents[]
Target Aku is undoubtedly useful, as it basically doubles Weedwacker's scope by adding a new trait to target; unfortunately, the Aku are about the worst possible match-up for this cat: often high range, death surges to reach this cat anyway and shields that block the freeze AND are regenerated for every knockback, which leads to few, strong attacks being the way to go. Resist Surge and Defense Buff both help a little, both against Aku and in general, but it would take a lot of +levels too for this support-type cat to reliably live long enough to have an effect in endgame scenarios. Attack Buff on a Zombie Killer is always good, as it's essentially a small extra chance to have a potentially strong Zombie not revive, not destroy the cat army from the middle and not withhold its bounty for longer. Resist Slow is situational, consider unlocking it if a situation requires it.
Orb[]
Due to the low Aku compatibility, attack or defense orbs for Zombies are recommended. If you go all out on +levels and defensive talents, defense up for Aku is good too.

Trivia[]
- Gardener Cat, along with Vaulter Cat and the Frontline Assault Iron Legion, was one of the first units introduced via an update to The Battle Cats Unite.
- Due to his propensity for attacking with a pair of garden shears, Gardener Cat is possibly a reference to the Scissorman; a recurring main antagonist from the Clock Tower series.
