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 or defeated. This also undermines the utility of her Survive ability, as unless she is up against an LD enemy with a sizable blindspot like Queen B or Henry, she cannot make use of it at all. 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 floating Cyclone other than The Perfect Cyclone as her short range and their extreme DPS will simply demolish her in seconds.

Her Combo, Pork on Rice, is a good Defence 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 and speed, along with gaining more damage. 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 Evolved, 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 Defence 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.

While her Shield Piercing talent may seem great, she has several flaws to make use out of this talent. Her low range combined with her long foreswing means she'll struggle to get hits on even standstill enemies due to peons getting in the way, and with recent additions like Cat Researcher, Barrel Cat and Supercar, the talent is rather redundant and only shines the most in The Aku Realms and in Aku Cyclone's stage. If you own better Shield Piercers, this talent can safely be ignored.

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 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, Kai whips backward from the force.
• Evolved Form: Now in full colour. Takes yellow/green as a colour scheme. The smaller pigs' eyes are now open and the big pig is more detailed. Also, Tonton's eyes no longer 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. 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

• She was added to the game alongside Kuu and Coppermine on May 14th, 2014.
• Version 3.0 of The Battle Cats gave her the survive ability.
• Prior to Version 4.7, Kai was a part of two other Cat Combos: Journey to the West and Curves.
• The "Uribo" in the Boarborg's Japanese name, Uriborg, is derived from the Japanese word uribō, meaning "young wild boar".
• The μ in her Evolved Form's name is the Greek letter "mu".
• Divine Kai's description mistakenly refers to the Floating trait as "Flying", though that could be a localization error.
• She is the first Uber Rare Cat to have two variants: Frosty Kai and Seashore Kai.
• Due to hopping with Tonton, Kai is the only unit in her set that doesn't appear to float.
• Kai is the name of a female samurai who served under Hojo Ujisayu.
• She is supposed to be modelled after Zhu Bajie/Cho Hakkai from Journey to the West, with Kuu and Coppermine also representing other characters. This is further supported by the fact that Kai, Kuu and Coppermine were once in a combo that went by the same name as the novel. Her portrayal is the least explicit amongst the other Galaxy Gals.
  • Kai's oversized hat, predominantly yellow outfit and especially hair style and colour are also reminiscent of Alena from the Dragon Quest series.
