Strategy/Usage

Li'l Nyandam is a great long-range Cat, useful mainly in 4-star Stories of Legend stages when fighting other long-ranged enemies. Since his range is higher than most backliner enemies like Master A., Professor A, and Dark Emperor Nyandam, he can be used to slowly chip away at them, even if the frontlines get stuck in a stalemate.

This is while providing decent support with his Slow ability. Unfortunately, Li'l Nyandam is of little to no use against Camelle, as Nyandam's speed is far too quick, and his outranging him by one is not enough to make up for the length that he moves to. Additionally, great meatshielding is necessary against enemies with attack ranges that almost reach Li'l Nyandam, as they need to move just a little to be able to hit this unit.

Li'l Nyandam is outclassed by Cyberpunk in most cases, as this Cat has 30% chance to slow in his first two forms and 50% in his True Form. However, Cyberpunk has 100% chance to slow. With Talents, two Cyberpunks can even permaslow enemies, which Li'l Nyandam is unable to do. With this being said, Cyberpunk has fragile health and a giant blindspot; unlike Li'l Nyandam, who lacks a blindspot, can reposition once, and has significantly more health.

True Form

Schoolbus Nyandam's relatively high slow chance can easily grant great support to your cat army. This, combined with great range and better time between attacks, improves the effectiveness of his ability even more, as well as improving his DPS (which is still not good, though), making this cat a very useful support unit for 4-stars stages or against Traitless and Relic enemies, as there are not many alternatives.
