Strategy/Usage

Mari as a unit is very similar to Cameraman Cat. Both are Strong against Floating enemies, but upon comparing their stats, Mari has stronger stats in nearly every region. Despite this, she lacks a good recharge time and cost for what she can do.

Mari won't replace Cameraman against floating because the lack of survivor and her not ideal recharge time, but is decent against Floating enemies that outrange Cameraman. Mari is a fairly decent choice against her niche if you don't have Mer-Cat or lack units to fight Floating enemies with. As for general usage, she is okay but not the best, and can be replaced by Seafarer Cat and Pizza Cat. Where Mari really shines is against Eva Angels, as her Eva Angel killer and Freeze immunity abilities work well against them.
