Strategy/Usage

Expensive and not worth the cost 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, or deny a huge amount of hits from enemies like Teacher Cybear.

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, or an enemy with a quick attack rate such as R. Ost, rather than wasting 600¢, use your usual tough meatshields such as Eraser Cat and Crazed Wall Cat, or to make this problem minimal, clear its way with wave attackers like Manic Macho Legs.
