Strategy/Usage

This cat is a powerful all-around unit, useful for delivering good damage from some range. Basically, the only bad things about Kung Fu Cat are that he is expensive, and has a slow recharge.

Kung Fu Cat is essentially a more attack-oriented version of Titan Cat, meaning he still isn't good against hordes of enemies, as he lacks the health to be useful against high DPS enemies. Usually, he is used for dealing damage without being knocked back. However, he has to be timed well to get an attack in, or else he will almost definitely die before he can deal damage. This is usually because of his slow movement speed.

He can be used to defeat waves of strong peons, giving him good use in stages with an overabundance of peons. On another note, you could use Dancer Cat to counter Calamary, since with his great damage and immunity to Weaken allows him to become the victor.

True Form

Dancer Cat gets 30 more range and immune to weaken. 30 more range is nice, but allows him to outrange basically nothing he couldn't previously. The immune to weaken ability is very situational, as there is a very small number of common enemies with the weaken ability in the first place. However, the point of this is that it allows Dancer to have an absolute damage output, not unlike Lesser Demon Cat.

Thus, because of Dancer Cat only getting two small improvements, it is recommended that if you want it, you should use a Treasure Radar on his first awakening stage, as his second is much more difficult and is not worth the trouble.

Talents

Note that wave immune, the most relevant of his talents, only really works if paired with the Attack Up talent, so go with both or nothing. If you decide to go full out and invest completely in Dancer, he can eventually become like a more spammable Miyamoku Musashi! His Surge ability is useful as well, allowing him to randomly deal double his base damage to enemy backliners, as it is completely unconnected to his main attack. However, even when fully invested in, the activation chance is only 20% chance, thus being unreliable. The only possibly worthless Talent is his Health Up talent, as this cat has a single knockback anyway, meaning it doesn't matter much.

However, Dancer's Talents do not solve this Cat's main issue, which is the combination of a dangerously high cost with bad survivability to boot, meaning that if you do invest in him anyways, you should focus on his wave immune and Surge ability the most, as they are the most significant and outright change the way Dancer can effect battles.

In summary, Dancer Cat's Talents are useful, and allow him to carve out a decent niche as a semi-spammable anti-Wave, anti-backliner unit. However, all of this is very, very costly, and is best treated as an optional end-game goal.
