Strategy/Usage
Kai is a very tough and durable tank unit, especially 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 de-buffs 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.
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 gains 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 knocked back 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 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.
Talents
Due to her already tremendous pool of health, Kai was not given a Health Up 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 Up 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 notable talent in Shield Piercing. At max level, her attacks are guaranteed to break Aku 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 Moon (Aku Realm).
