Strategy/Usage

Gardener Cat is like the anti-Zombie, Single Target 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.

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.

This Cat helps a lot against Zyclone due to its fast attack rate, chance to freeze and 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 activation rate for its debuff, it makes up for it with its hyper-fast attack rate, making it much easier to freeze. Stacking multiple of these cats can lead to permanently freezing enemies.

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.

Its increased range and health help a lot as well, as it increases its survivability, making it easy to stack weedwacker to permafreeze zombies. The range increase is helpful against the likes of Lord Gravey, as although weedwacker can't outrange him, his fast attack rate and the fact that they share the same range can give it a chance to slip in in Gravey's backswing and freeze him. However, due to weedwacker's low freeze rate, it's not very consistent and shouldn't be relied on too heavily.
