Strategy/Usage

Normal Form

Very similar to Cat in terms of usage. Cheap and expendable, it can be summoned in masses to take hits in place of other, more important units. This meatshield role is quite valuable, if not for the wide selection of cats able to perform this role without relevant differences in quality. Masked Cat, however, can be used in 4-crown stages, where there is considerably less competition. This is his only use.

Evolved Form

Due to the low stats, this form is not recommended as it is considerably worse than any possible alternative in about every way, resulting in him being a bad investment of money. Could still be of use in early-mid Empire of Cats, but, after that, it is best to revert this cat to normal form and only use that.
