Strategy/Usage

This unit is a joke character. He has the stats of a meatshield, but an insanely high cost (highest in the game!), which makes it, by far, the least cost-efficient cat you could ever use in a stage. Due to this, the only use you can get from this Cat is in 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 (2.6 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 especially useful in timed stages. This is especially helpful for the Ranking Dojo.

For obvious reasons, it is not recommended to use the Cat CPU with him in your lineup.

One last perk about him is his usefulness in obtaining Meow Medals that require spending lots of money on units, such as Nouveau Riche. A walkthrough on how to do this has been provided by SilumanTomcat in this video.
