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 usable 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.
