Strategy/Usage

Maneki Cat's sole usage is earning extra money when defeating an enemy. The addition of it being included in Thanks for All, a 1-Slot Cat Combo, can increase the money drop of the enemy by 10%, so the Extra Money ability will increase the enemies' money drop to 2.2x rather than just 2x its original. However, due to its short range, weak stats and single target attacks, it won't be viable outside of the early Empire of Cats stages as there are better units that can replace this unit, such as Express Cat.
