Strategy/Usage

Kai is a very tough, durable tank unit, namely against Floating enemies. Despite her short range, this unit is extremely useful to stop slow and strong Floating enemies such as Crazed Bird Cat for a while and inflict good damage, especially in her True Form since it doubles her health. This makes her useful in stages with Brollow pushers such as Learned to Love and Honey Trap, as well as some Cats of the Cosmos stages with high Cost Restrictions.

This unit can serve as a great counter against Brollows, since she's resistant to their attacks, one-shots them, and outranges them.

However, Kai's usage against non-Floating enemies is limited, and many Floating enemies in the game having a non-Floating backline support that punishes the player for using a frontline tank like Kai. Even without the non-Floating support, lots of Floating enemies inflict debuffs on Kai, and also have high DPS to obliterate her quickly.

Kai's short recharge doesn't help her much against anything due to the fact that she goes up to enemies' front line and die. Even when she can reach the enemies, her long attack animation means she often misses her attack and moves forward to only die once more.

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, and because Cyclones will kill her quickly due to their incredibly high damage and attack rate. She is also not recommended for general use because of her short range.

It is not recommended to use her against heavily buffed Teacher Bun Bun variants. She might be able to deal lots damage against them, but she will get quickly cut down because of their high DPS and may not even deal any damage as most Bun Buns have many knockbacks.

Initial Stats:

Appearance

• Normal Form: A clumsy-looking girl wearing a big hat with a cat face on it. Her face seems to show panic. Is riding on a giant pig head, accompanied by 2 smaller, flying mechanical pigs.
• 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.
• True Form: The giant pig she rides on is now a boar and is much more detailed and aggressive-looking. The two smaller pigs by her side now have yellow stars around them. Her hat is much more detailed and has two strands to each side of it. Instead of looking frightened, she has a smile.

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 all the other Galaxy Gals.
• Version 3 of The Battle Cats allowed her to survive one lethal strike.
• She is the only Galaxy Gal to not be floating.
• She is the first Uber Rare Cat to have two holiday variants: Frosty Kai and Seashore Kai. She is also one of the only three Uber Rares to have more than one holiday variant, the others being Kuu and Coppermine.
