Strategy/Usage

Normal/Evolved Form

Due to being the Li'l version of a Normal Cat, this unit suffers from a severe lack of good basic stats, which, combined with the increased difficulty in getting +levels, makes this unit underperform greately in his field. For this reason, usage of this unit prior to unlocking their True Form is not recommended, with only a couple of exceptions.

This unit's extremely short range can be used to cheese many stages, since the enemies will stay behind the base (most peons have upwards of 110 range, while this unit has only 100) and, due to the amount of enemies behind the base, the place of the boss unit will be taken by the enemies and the boss will not appear. This strategy works on many stages, notably Dark Souls, but, in most later stages like Deathhawk, you'll need this unit's True Form and/or a good boost from extra levels to make it work.

In absence of alternatives, this unit can be used as a one-hit meatshield like Cat, but his double cost and slow speed make him far less ideal than any 75¢ cat.

True Form

Like most meatshields, it works well with others like him. Putting heavy-duty meatshields on top of other heavy-duty meatshields, provided you have a constant stream coming, makes an almost unkillable barrier in many situations. Li'l Macho/Mohawk Cat and Macho/Mohawk Cat can be added into the mix too, as while they aren't as sturdy, they are pretty resilient on their own.

Many of the same strategies used for Cat or Tank Cat work here, too. Just NEVER rely on this kitten too far, as Eraser Cat can take FAR more punishment and is just as easily mass-produced.

Despite its lower stats, it really shines in 4-star stages, where it takes Tank Cat's role. Although it has low health compared to Tank, it can still take quite a few hits from decently buffed enemies. Its lower health can actually help for those who lack Curling Cat, since it won't advance far when being faced by the peons at the start of a battle.

Its immunity to Freeze can help a lot in stages that are complicated by Henry. For example, it is a great meatshield in Electric Bath.

  • Also along with other Li'l Cats, it is one of the first non-Normal Cats to be capable of upgrading to + levels.
• Li'l Tank Cat and Li'l Clops Cat Egg have the lowest range of any Cat Unit.
• Even though Li'l Eraser Cat's description says it has the same attack power as always, True Form actually increases its attack power.
