Strategy/Usage

Medusa Cat is a unit with a rare niche: freezing Relic enemies. While at first glance this seems to be a great unit, her low freeze chance and mediocre uptime force you to stack Medusas to use her full potential. While risky, this can be very rewarding. Medusa could potentially be compared to Titi Cat CC with the way that her debuffing works. With this being said, her drawbacks increase when you compare her to Talented Rodeo Cat or Slapstick Cats; but since she completely freezes the movement of Relics, she can be a great help when she works. Beware her inner range, however; any frontline Relics will easily invade that without help from Modern Cat or other supporters.

The Relics she works best against are Oldhorn, Relic Doge, and Sir Rel. Most other Relics are a poor matchup for her since they outrange, excluding Idi:Re, Primeval Cyclone, and Relic Bun-Bun, provided you have a setup taking advantage and properly protecting her. Medusa only stands outside Relic Bun-Bun's Omni Strike by 50, so be wary when using her against it. Notably, she can also potentially work alongside Master Uril and Elder Mask Doron as support, especially in 4♛ stages.

True Form

521-3 improves her HP, Freeze chances, and Freeze duration. The extra HP might not be that much, but it does somewhat help with stacking. On that note, the improved odds and duration of her Freeze ability only really become useful with a stack of 521-3, allowing her to more consistently get a Freeze off and keep it on long enough for the next Freeze to proc. She simply becomes better at what she was already decent at doing, which can still be helpful in 4♛ stages or non-gacha strats.
