Cat Unit # 222
Uber Rare Cat
HUGE HERMIT	HUGE HERMIT CC

Cat

Evolves into HUGE HERMIT CC at level 10.

Pros

• Strong against Aliens.
• Fast recharge time for an Uber Rare.
• Fast attack rate.
• Only knocked back when killed.

Cons

• Horrible range.
• Slow movement speed for a melee unit.
• His DPS and Health are mediocre for it's range, even against aliens.
• Too low survivability for it's cost.

Strategies/Usage

• This unit can be used as a replacement for Titan Cat or Whale Cat when facing Alien enemies, due to its increased effectiveness against them. However, the vast majority of aliens have high DPS and higher range than HUGE HERMIT, as well as low money drop, which can easily cripple HUGE HERMIT's usage against them, due to his low range and mediocre HP for a melee unit. It's usage serves more against alien backliners which don't hit as heavily, such as Calamary and Alpacky, as he can tank their hits and cripple them down, but take in mind these always have a strong frontline defending them.
• Outside of Alien units, this unit gets easily outclassed by Manic Island Cat, who has nearly the same stats, better speed, and much lower cost and recharge time. Manic Island Cat also has better survivaility due to having multiple knockbacks. As a matter of fact, HUGE HERMIT's terrible performance for his rarity and cost, which are low enough for him to be considered one of the worst ubers in the game, also make him easy to outclass as a whole, even against aliens.

Trivia

• Unlike the original Huge Hermit, this one always has its cannon out, a trait only seen in Metal Slug Defense/Attack.
  • The only other game it appears in is Metal Slug 3, and in there, the cannon is not shown and only revealed after dealing enough damage to Huge Hermit.
