Strategy/Usage

In Normal Form, Paladin Cat has the ability to Critical. However, there are two things stopping his Normal Form from being useful- pathetic base stats, and Single Target. However, his Evolved Form both doubles his Critical chance and gains Area Attack, along with a slight increase of base stats. With this being said, it is recommended you invest in his True Form if you want a good anti-Metal unit. Due to his terrible attack and defense, his use is not recommended against non-Metals.

True Form

Paladin Cat gains an increase in base stats, a higher Critical chance and Immunity to Knockback. This increases his usefulness a lot, but doesn't make him relevant against non-Metal enemies. However, because Paladin has Immunity to Knockback, Super Metal Hippoe becomes his bane; as his immunity prevents him from repositioning himself in battle. Luckily, this has its payoff, as Paladin's attack will no longer be interrupted.

Talents

Paladin's Talents begin with the freeze ability, followed by Zombie Killer, slow immune, and general stat boosts. At first glance, you may think that freeze against metals is a great ability! And it would be, if its activation chance wasn't a crippling 30%, and the fact that the freeze only lasts 2~2.4 seconds at maximum upgrade, not nearly enough to carry into his attack rate and attack animation. Therefore, do not invest in it, as it will only ever be extra support; which is already done better by the Cats claimed from the Cyclone Stages, and Talented Lollycat.

Zombie Killer is useless for Paladin, as he is a pure critter and has no other redeeming qualities; although intended to work on March to Death, it works horribly in practice, and is not useful in any other circumstances as well. Similarly, slow immune is just as situational, working only against Daboo of the Dead. This leaves the rest of the defense and attack buffs, which are only good if you don't have a highly leveled Catasaurus or any other critical hitters that you may use more often than Paladin.

Trivia

• Berserker Cat and Paladin Cat may be a reference to Cecil Harvey of Final Fantasy 4. The Berserker Cat is also called the "Dark Metal Knight", which is Cecil's class (Dark Knight) for the beginning portion of the game. However, a fairly short way into the game Cecil's devotion to his loved one and his desire to protect others allows him to go from being a Dark Knight to being a Paladin, which matches what occurs in the Paladin Cat's description.
  • "Dark Metal Knight," could also be referencing Dark Meta Knight, a recurring boss in the Kirby series.
• Berserker Cat may be a reference to the Artorias from Dark Souls because he holds the sword in his left hand and has a similar armor.
• Paladin Cat has the second highest Critical chance in the game (50%), only behind units who are guaranteed to crit.
• Paladin’s flavor text for his True Form claims that he is granted “Resistance to enemy attack’s knockback”, when in reality, he gains a full immunity to knockback.
• There is a typo when looking at Paladin Cat’s talents and it says “Freeeze” instead of freeze.
