Strategy/Usage

Expensive at first sight, this cat is exceptional if used properly. Metal Cat can take a maximum of 12 hits when it is level 20, but will only get knocked back 2 times, meaning that he can stop the progress of a single enemy, regardless of its attack power, by standing in front of it for two times 6 hits. Hence, he is very useful against powerful enemies with slow attacks, such as Dark Emperor Nyandam, and THE SLOTH.

That being said, another utility for Metal Cat is to allow the player to build up money while Metal Cat stops the progress of a tough enemy.

However, what makes Metal Cat a good unit is also his downfall; as said before, Metal Cat will die after 12 hits, no matter what. When there are a lot of peons, rather than wasting 600¢, use your usual tough meatshields such as Eraser Cat and Crazed Wall Cat.

That said, if the player has Manic Macho Legs, the strong shockwaves will clear a path for Metal Cat to do its job, clearing peons with ease.
