Strategy/Usage

Although it has overall worse stats than Cat, it serves as a meatshield in 4-star stages or other Restriction Stages that allow Special Cats. His low stats for even a meatshield and slow speed, however, make it one of the worst options, so it is not recommended in presence of alternatives.

True Form

Li'l Mohawk Cat trades part of the spammability, which is a staple in most meatshields, for decreased cost, turning this unit into the cheapest in the game by a good margin. It can still be used as a meatshield, not differently than any other similar cat, but it becomes a little less effective in exchange for cost, making it a good trade only in money-tight stages. Reverting this unit to evolved or first form is usually recommended, but, if any "research up" combo is used, the True Form becomes a direct upgrade instead. It is not recommended to bring a research combo just for him, though. He does have one combo with Jurassic Cat Sitter in his evolved form, which does improve both his and Jurassic Cat Sitter's cooldown, probably one of the best Research combos that doesn't require Uber Rares.
