Strategies/Usage
Hayabusa is used for one of the most efficient Combos in the game: Enter The Ninja. By pairing it with just Ninja Cat, you can get a Medium Speed Boost. This is a great deal for just two cats. The Battle Cat Veterans and CatCombo users will notice a distinctive potential for enticing power. Ninja Cat is also part of the 4 cat combo Cool Japan. This means that with Sushi Cat + Sumo Cat + Samurai Cat + Ninja Cat + Hayabusa you can get both the medium Attack and Speed boosts, which is a vast advantage.
Long Distance means that this unit can be stacked in stages like Wonderful Conquest (Insane) where it starts with only Firework Guys which never attack.
Hayabusa's normal form is considerable as an offense against Metal Enemies, as he has a wide hitting range and a prominent Critical Hit chance (30%). However, certain metal enemies, like Super Metal Hippoe and Metal One Horn, can easily reach his blind spot. Preventing this can be done so by a steady stream of meatshields. His normal form also works well in tandem with Paladin Cat, since the former can attack Metal units at a distance, while the latter defeats the Metal Enemies that reach to his blind spot (if he Crits).
Oni Hayabusa is very useful in Into the Future, as it can knock back bulky Aliens like Cyberhorn and Nimoy Bore, and slow quick-moving Aliens, such as Scissoroo and LeMurr. However, keep in mind that some Aliens, such as Maawth and I.M. Phace, outrange him. In these cases, you should utilize the strong front-line as they really help him to attack the back-line enemies to attack them without being damaged.
Since this unit has high speed, it is recommended to either protect it with fast moving meatshields (Crazed Cat/Crazed Tank Cat), or spawn him after you have a good unit line built up.
If you have Princess Kaguya, by using Hayabusa's basic form with her you will likely never have problems with Metal Enemies ever again.
Hayabusa can also defeat enemies that have far range and are stacked behind the base or another strong enemy, due to his Long Distance ability. This can also be used to snipe the base and cheese it if it's at extremely low health.
Oni Hayabusa is very useful in Honey Trap (Deadly), as he's immune to slow, can attack Queen B even if THE SLOTH gets in the way thanks to his Long Distance ability, and said ability also allows him to easily deal with the Kroxos, and at level 30, he can one-shot the Brollows. However, time him well so that THE SLOTH doesn't kill him quickly (although he can tank a hit from it at level 30).
On true form akuma hayabusa becomes a very powerful buffer being able to knockback bulky zombie enemies like lord gravey or preventing annoying zombies from burrowing like zang roo or zir zeal, with his long distance can help clear big chunks of zombie enemies like zoges or znaches while still being able to take on very bulky zombie enemies like zyclone. Works extremely well on the haunted 1LDK
