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 the Crazed Bird Cat for a while and inflict good damage. This makes her useful in stages with Floating pushers, as well as some Cats of the Cosmos stages with certain restrictions. The DPS may seem incredible, but due to her short range, she may only get a couple hits in before she gets knocked back.
However, 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 debuffs onto her, allowing other traited enemies to kill her without fear of retaliation.
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 Cyclone family will kill her quickly due to their incredibly high damage and attack rate. She is also not recommended for general use for the same reason. This unit can serve as a great counter against Brollows, since she's resistant to their attacks, one-shots them and outranges them. Furthermore, she has the survive ability, but this only serves to warn you of her demise, due to her short range.
True Form
Divine Kai gains nearly double her base health than previously, along with more damage and higher speed. This makes her especially good against Long Distance enemies, even more so than before. Her new knockback immunity now allows her to be a powerful asset in stages such as Floor 39 of the Heavenly Tower, due to not being able to be knockbacked by the Mr. Moles. However, all her base stats improve more than significantly, meaning that what she did well previously in her normal and evolved form, she now does best in.
Because of this, her True Form is a massive improvement over what she was before, giving you an even better reason than your usual ones 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 to some enemies, as most have enough sheer DPS to end her quickly.

Appearance
- Normal Form: A clumsy-looking girl wearing a big hat with a cat face on it. Her face seems to show panic, and she is riding on a giant pig head which's eyes roll, accompanied by 2 smaller, flying mechanical pigs that have closed eyes. Attacks by the pig opening its mechanical mouth, and charging a beam. Then, it'll fire it, knocking her back a little bit. This makes her entire body bounce, including her upper body, and most visibly, her cleavage.
- 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. Her attack has all pigs charging the beams, and when they finally hit, her upper body bounces, and most visibly her cleavage.
- 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 on each side of it. Instead of looking frightened, she has a smile. Her attack now has yellow orbs, and it produces stars. The attack animation is the same as before, and when it hits, her entire body bounces, including her upper body, and most visibly, her cleavage.
