Gardener Cat (Rare Cat)

Gardener Cat is a Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule. This cat was added in update 5.6 of BCJP. Gardener Cat is like the anti-Zombie, Single attack version of Catornado as it has a very fast attack rate with the ability to stop Zombie enemies. However, the success rate of its ability is very low to match its attack rate. Gardener Cat gained a true form which doubles his health and freeze duration to Zombies and increases range by 50, in Version 7.4.

Cat Unit # 308
Rare Cat

 Cat

Evolves into Lumbercat at level 10

Evolves into Weedwacker Cat at level 30 using Catfruit.

Pros

• Hyper-sonic attack speed.
• Low cost.
• Might freeze Zombies.
• Has zombie killer
• Zombie killer and fast attack speed makes for a useful anti zombie.
• True Form has longer range.
• Health increases in each successive form

Cons

• Mediocre health. (Except in True Form.)
• Single target attacks.
• Abhorrent attack power.
• Sluggish recharge speed.
• Quite bad range (partially solved in TF)
• Normal form has only 75% attack power compared to other forms.

Strategy/Usage

• Gardener Cat is likely the first anti-Zombie cat you'll get in your arsenal, and acts as a frontline anti-Zombie offensive unit. Send this cat out behind your meatshields but in front of your long-range attackers in Zombie stages for a deadly combo against the dead.

• Additionally, Gardener Cat's lightning-fast attack speed makes it very useful against early and mid-game Metal enemies like Metal Hippoe. Alongside Cow Cat, you can make quick work of them.

• It is surprisingly good against the Zyclone due to it’s fast attack rate, chance to freeze, and it’s range. On top of all of this it has zombie killer, giving it you a higher chance at getting rid of the zombie cyclone for good.
• It can be used to perma-freeze zombie enemies. Although it has a low proc rate for its debuff, it makes up for it with its hyper attack-rate, making it much easier to freeze. Stacking multiple of these cats can lead to permanently freezing enemies.
