Strategy/Usage

Kai is a very tough and durable tank unit, especially against Floating enemies. Despite her short range, Kai is extremely useful to stop slow and strong Floating enemies such as the Crazed Bird Cat for a while and inflict good damage. Her DPS may seem incredible, but due to her short range and long attack animation, she'll often only get a couple hits in before she gets knocked back. At the very least, though, she has the stats to tank and OHKO a group of Brollows.

Kai's usage against non-Floating enemies is limited, as well as many Floating enemies in the game having a non-Floating backliner that punishes the player for using a frontline tank like Kai. Since most Floating enemies have another trait and may inflict status effects (such as Maawth), they may inflict said debuffs onto her.

Despite being resistant to Floating, it is not recommended to use her against any Cyclone other than The Perfect Cyclone due to her short range, as the Cyclones' DPS will shred her as quickly as any other unit.

Her Combo, Pork on Rice, is a really nice Defense Combo. Riceball Cat and Kai both have good uses on certain stages, and it has good synergy with other Combos like Cool Japan or Cheating Heart?.

True Form

Divine Kai doubles her health, along with gaining more damage and higher speed. This makes her especially good against Long Distance enemies, even more so than before. Her newfound knockback immunity now allows her to be a powerful asset in stages such as Floor 39 of the Heavenly Tower, where Mr. Mole would easily knock her back.

Her base stats improve more than significantly, meaning that what she did well previously in her Normal and Evoled, she now does best in. This True Form is a massive improvement over what she was before, giving you an even better reason to bring her into battle. Furthermore, her generalist usage is now decent, and along with being able to tank fairly well against non-Floating enemies, makes her damage output worth it for her cost. However, in late Stories of Legend and Uncanny Legends, this means nearly nothing against most peons, as most have enough sheer DPS to end her quickly.

Talents

Presumably due to her already tremendous pool of health, Kai was not given a Defense Buff Talent. Unfortunately, most of what she got instead isn't too great; Resist Slow and Weaken are about as useful as they always are, and while Resist Wave can make her a decent anti-Wave unit, better options for that already exist plentifully. Attack Buff is a little bit better, as her attack power is already quite high, but the NP investment isn't likely to be worth it when Catseyes are still an option.

She does, however, have one outstanding Talent in Shield Piercing. At max level, her attacks are guaranteed to break Shields, some of which can be incredibly tough to take down otherwise. Her general tankiness also makes her easily capable of walking directly into the enemies' attacks to get rid of their Shields. This combined with the lack of alternate options makes her one of the best Shield Piercers in the game, proving her worth incredibly well in stages like the Mount Aku Invasion and Temptation's Symphony.

Appearance

Her face seems to show panic, and she rides a giant pig head whose eyes roll, accompanied by two smaller, flying mechanical pigs that have closed eyes. Attacks by the pig opening its mechanical mouth, and charging a point-blank energy weapon. When the pig fires, its rider is pushed back from the force.
• Evolved Form: Now in full color. Takes yellow/green as a color scheme. The smaller pigs' eyes are now open and the big pig is more detailed. Also, Tonton's eyes don't roll. The small pigs now charge energy along with the mount during its attack.
• True Form: The giant pig Kai rides on is now a boar and is much more detailed and aggressive-looking, while Kai's outfit is altered to be more detailed and revealing. The two smaller pigs by her side now have yellow stars around them. Her hat is much more detailed and has two strands on each side of it. Instead of looking frightened, she has a smile. Her attack now produces star shaped energy blasts.

Trivia

• Kai is the name of a female samurai who served under Hojo Ujisayu.
• She is supposed to be modeled after Zhu Bajie/Cho Hakkai from Journey to the West, with Kuu and Coppermine also representing other characters. Her portrayal is the least explicit amongst the other Galaxy Gals.
  • Prior to version 5.0, putting Kai, Kuu and Coppermine in the first row would activate a Cat Combo named Journey to the West.
  • Kai's oversized hat, predominantly yellow outfit and especially hair style and color are also reminiscent of Alena from the Dragon Quest series.
• She is the only Galaxy Gal to not be floating.
• Divine Kai's description mistakenly refers to the Floating trait as "Flying".
• The "Uribo" in the Boarborg's Japanese name, Uriborg, is derived from the Japanese word uribō, meaning "young wild boar".
• Version 3 of The Battle Cats allowed her to survive one lethal strike.
• She is the first Uber Rare Cat to have two seasonal variants: Frosty Kai and Seashore Kai. She is also one of the only three Uber Rares to have more than one seasonal variant, the others being Kuu and Coppermine.
  • Coincidentally, said variants are all from Gals of Summer or Xmas Gals.
• The μ in her name is the Greek letter "mu" (pronounced like me).
• She was added to the game alongside Kuu and Coppermine on May 14th, 2014.
