Strategy

Maneki Cat's sole usage is earning extra money when defeating an enemy. The addition of it being included in a 1-Slot Cat Combo can increase the money drop of the enemy by 10%, the Double Bounty ability will increase the enemies drop by x2.2 rather than just x2. 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.

Appearance

• This Cat's attack animation is similar to Cat O'Lantern's.

  • Despite appearing in the Cat Guide in BCEN, it can only be obtained via hacking.
