Strategy/Usage

Lesser Demon Cat deals enormous DPS, but he's held back greatly by his single target attacks. To prevent this from being too big a problem, he should be paired with Long Distance, Wave Attack or just Area Attack Cats (such as Crazed Gross or Paris). Even then, however, it is important to understand that he is not meant for stages that spam enemies, and is more suitable for stages with fewer, tankier ones. His main use is killing powerful enemies fast, as long as he is well guarded and the enemies don't have too much range or attack speed.

Additionally, Lesser Demon Cat has a quick cooldown, which usually means that a new Lesser Demon Cat will respawn on the field once the original one has died. On another note, this cat is Immune to Weaken, allowing him to be more effective when the few enemies with this ability, like Cli-One and Calamary, are on the field.

Lastly, note that this unit relies a lot on his level, as increasing it gives him both more damage and more time to live and deliver that increased damage, plus more enemies he can tank enough to get a hit in. On another note, Lesser Demon also has two Cat Combos, Speak Of The Devil and Lust for Battle. Speak Of The Devil increases Accounting Power (the money gained from enemies) and thus can be very helpful in Li'l Stages and otherwise 4 star Stories of Legend. Lust For Battle is inferior to Sister Act or Cool Japan in normal circumstances, but one can combine it with either Sister Act or Maeda Keiji's Choppers combo to provide the greatest base attack boost possible from Cat Combos.

True Form

The transition from Greater Demon Cat to Balrog Cat gives no new abilities, but improves his health and attack power considerably. This allows him to not lose relevance in stages and it makes him usable and rather effective against certain Advent Stages.

Talents

The most important Talent is Strengthen, as, with it, his potential DPS skyrockets - given, of course, that he lands a lot of hits on that final knockback. Health Up can help with that, allowing safer use in general, and Attack Up can boost the damage even further, to the point that he can deal the most DPS in the game.

Cost Down is another very strong Talent. The usual 3000¢ for Balrog is already a great deal compared to most other Uber Rare cats, but lowering that to 2250¢ allows for one to summon him incredibly early and makes a spam of Balrogs possible with cash to spare in most stages.

Wave Resist helps against dangerous wave enemies like Berserkory, Two Can, Youcan and even Hermit Cat if at a high enough level, but isn't a recommended talent since if Balrog is properly supported with wave blockers he can take out most wave enemies without a problem anyway. Prioritize Strengthen and Cost Down, move to Attack Up and Health Up, and if you have NP to burn, invest in Wave Resist.

Trivia

• Prior to Version 5.3.1, when he got immunity to weaken, Lesser Demon Cat used to be one of the few Uber Rares that lacked an ability.
• Lesser Demon Cat is very similar to a "Oni", a Japanese yōkai with a Kanabo as a weapon and two horns on its head.
• His first two forms' descriptions both have typos (unnecessary a before "demon").
• Balrog could be a reference to the fiery demon in The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf the Grey fought and defeated the Balrog in the abyss which lead to his ascension as Gandalf the White.
• Greater Balrog Cat with the 20% Attack Up & 200% Strengthen Talents has the highest DPS of all cat units. Producing up to 33,750 DPS (101,250 DPS when strengthened) at level 30, surpassing Awakened Bahamut Cat.
• When Lesser Demon Cat moves, he doesn't actually stay still, instead his sprite moves backwards to make it seem like he is still. This is more noticeable when he is slowed or has any other effect, The same is true for Kotatsu Cat.
• Prior to Version 10.1 of BCJP, Lesser Demon Cat's true form name was "Balrog Cat". It was most likely to prevent confusion with Balrog Cat from the Street Fighter collab, and other Cats named Balrog.
• Prior to Version 10.4 of BCEN. Greater Demon Cat had a typo in his description:
  • "The mad cat managed to control the a demon from the netherworld. Attacks with extreme force."
