Strategy/Usage

Essentially an anti-Floating Sushi Cat, Kotatsu Cat serves as a wonderful shield to protect your cats from powerful Floating enemies like Teacher Bun Bun or Bun Bun Symbiote. Likewise, provided there are purely Floating enemies in the stage, Kotatsu might be able to weaken them consistently. At level 25 and above, Sadako Cat is an unbelievably effective counter to the Perfect Cyclone as it can tank the hits, crawl straight to the blindspot and weaken the cyclone. It can solo the stage on its own but might require additional support to dispel the Doge Darks and Trolly Bloggers. However, his general use is extremely fragile because of Sadako's low base stats and awkward recharge time.

True Form

Octopus Cat's Wave-blocking ability is incredibly useful against powerful Wave Attack Enemies like Crazed Titan Cat, Manic Jamiera Cat, Manic Macho Legs Cat and Berserkory, to name a few. Hypermaxing or boosting it is also worth it, allowing it to survive longer, so you can send another Octopus Cat before the one on the battlefield dies in more situations. Its attack power increase is negligible due to Octopus's DPS still being pitiful, and its attack rate decrease means that on certain levels without any Wave Attack enemies—such as Oncoming Storm—Sadako is actually a better choice.

Talents

Health Up is an overall great improvement to this unit's general usefulness, as any bit of health can make the difference between a wave being released by an enemy or being stopped. Immunity to Curse makes Octopus very effective against Othom, but it is only relevant at all in Uncanny Legends, so it is best to save it for that point of the game. Improving the duration of the weaken effect is rarely going to matter due to single target, plus there is competition from Sanzo Cat, who works much better.

Resist Slow and Resist Freeze should be avoided. They are expensive, sometimes counterproductive (Octopus blocks waves better if stopped from reaching the very front of the line) and, with the notable exceptions of Henry and Queen B, near-irrelevant, due to Octopus being a short ranged tank. As for Croakley, its slow is too long for resistance to matter.

Trivia

• Sadako Cat is a reference to Sadako Yamamura, AKA Ringu, the TV-haunting ghost from the horror movie series The Ring.
• In Version 3 (Version 4 in Nyanko Daisensou), Kotatsu received the ability to weaken floating enemies by 50%.
• Even though the Catfruit Evolution Description said it has increased attack speed, the attack speed actually decreases.
• Even though the True Form's description says that it "weakens enemies", it still only weakens Floating enemies, even though it was specified in the other forms, which may also be attributed to floating enemies being mentioned earlier in the sentence.
