Strategy/Usage[]
Normal/Evolved Form[]
This is a joke character. He has the stats of a meatshield, but an insanely high cost (tied for the highest in the game!), which makes it, by far, the least cost-efficient cat you could ever use in a stage. Due to this, he is only good for User Rank, Cat Combos and grinding Meow Medals.
Using him with Lasvoss and Li'l Nyandam will activate one of the best Research Combos in the game: Bad Guys. This Combo decreases recharge times by 79f (2.63 seconds); it works very well with units such as Artist Cat and Cameraman Cat. Killer Cat's other Combo is Black & White, which is a Worker Cat Max Up (Sm) Combo that requires only him and the Basic Cat. This combo also has a synergy with Rich & Poor, and is very useful in timed stages. This is especially helpful for the Arena of Honor.
For obvious reasons, it is not recommended to use the Cat CPU with him in your lineup, as all he does is drain money.
Otherwise, you can use Killer Cat for User Rank, as his upgrade costs aren't very high for a Rare unit.
True Form[]
After a very long time, Killer Cat's True Form gives this unit proper stats, making him a solid option for tanking Behemoth and Floating enemies. His recharge speed isn't the best, and his price is still quite high for a meatshield, but he is effective at what he can do for his price (especially compared to before). He has decent DPS for a meatshield, but due to his 3 knockbacks, this isn't the ideal use for him. Instead, he serves as a counter against Pterowl Hazuku, as it's a Floating/Behemoth enemy with the ability to create Surges. The Surge Immunity ability is alright, but it's more of a bonus than a selling point of the unit. Tragically, due to how Hazuku and other Floating enemies are usually mixed in with other traits, Radical Cat may not be as useful as he seems, though he can still be a serviceable meatshield against his targeted traits.
Additionally, his recharge speed can be greatly helped by the Bad Guys Cat Combo, substantially increasing the rate at which you can send him out and making stalling Behemoth and Floating enemies much easier.
Combo-wise, Radical Cat gains a new combo with God-Emperor Hevijak and Gas Mask Cat for a defense up medium. This can be very useful for black/floating centered behemoth levels, and if Bad Guys is acquired, specialized meatshields such as Ramen, Catellite, Shigong, and even Radical and Gas Mask themselves gain a great defense boost along with much faster recharging, allowing for much better stalling against their targeted traits.
