MARCO (Rare Cat)

This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy unit, see Marco (Enemy).

MARCO is a Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Metal Slug Defense Collaboration Event.

Cat Unit # 215
Rare Cat
MARCO	MARCO CC

Cat

Evolves into MARCO CC at level 10.

Pros

• Decent range.
• 20% chance to stop the movement of Aliens.

Cons

• Slow recharge time.
• Single target attack.
• Low attack power.
• Mediocre stamina.
• Slightly expensive.

Strategies/Usage

• Despite his freezing capability, MARCO won't save you from the wrath of Aliens. His high cost and single-target attacks made him useless when facing a lot of minions. Use him only if you don't have many anti-Alien units, and spam him in high numbers.
• He functions surprisingly well in The Wormhole Opens, as Seafarer Cat is outranged by the Cyclone.
• He's also useful in ITF Chapter 3 Moon, since Raging Bahamut Cat also outranges Seafarer. However, keep him well protected, as he only outranges Raging Bahamut by 10.
