Evolution

Evolves into Plug Suit Mari at level 10.

Performance

+ Strong against Floating enemies
+ Immune to freeze
+ Eva Angel Killer

Pros

• Good DPS
• Decent range

Cons

• Mediocre recharge time

Strategy/Usage

Mari as a unit is very similar to Cameraman Cat: both are strong against Floating enemies, but upon comparing their stats Mari is stronger in nearly every region. In spite of that, she lacks spamability and cost for what she can do.

Mari won't replace Cameraman Cat against Floating because the lack of the Survive and her subpar recharge time, but is decent against Floating enemies that outrange Cameraman. Mari is a fairly decent choice in her niche if you don't have Mer-Cat's True Form or lack units to fight Floating enemies with. As for general usage, she is okay but not the best, and can usually be replaced by Seafarer Cat and Pizza Cat. Where Mari really shines is against Eva Angels, as her Eva Angel Killer skyrockets her stats to Uber levels against them.
