Strategy/Usage

In stages with enemies other than Aliens, Miter Saw Cat tends to be rather useless, with lower health than Artist Cat and more than 6 times the recharge rate. Against Aliens, however, he proves to be pretty useful at his niche; his role is to be a tanker can both deal good damage and absorb numerous hits without having to worry about being teleported away by Starred Aliens.

In certain ways, Miter Saw Cat can be considered the anti-Alien counterpart of Crazed Whale Cat, being a mini-tank and decent attacker against their targeted enemy trait. His 1,200¢ cost is also ideal for Cats of the Cosmos, being able to bypass the restrictions imposed by many of the stages.

If you manage to get Miter Saw Cat during or before Into the Future, he can carry you through most of the Alien-dominated stages, and helps greatly particularly in Chapter 1 Moon, where he can easily get in and damage Cli-One.

Overall, Miter Saw Cat is a well-rounded anti-Alien unit whose impressive DPS, attack rate and health allows him to bulldoze through Aliens or majorly wear down a single target for a while. However, do note that his somewhat low damage per hit may mean that he won't be able to break tougher Barriers. His deployment cooldown is also pretty lengthy, so be mindful on when to summon him.

True Form

Neo Saw Cat's buffs are a straight improvement on what already made Power Saw great. His noticeable health increase, while not enough to give him good generalist usage, makes him significantly tankier against Aliens, and while his base damage increase may appear minimal, his rapid attack rate turns it into a major increase to his DPS. On top of that, his issues with Barriers have been fixed, as his new 20% chance to break them combined with his non-stop attacks makes him a very effective counter to tough Starred Aliens like UltraBaaBaa, Youcan and Le'Solar, his resistance and Warp Blocker allowing him to shatter them uninterrupted. Though the requirement of an Epic Catfruit Seed makes him unlikely to be available before Cats of the Cosmos, where his strengths are most needed, it remains a worthwhile upgrade that enables him to compete with later Starred Aliens in Legend Stages.

Trivia

• Prior to Version 11.2, Miter Saw Cat, Driller Cat, Piledriver Cat, Cutter Cat and Backhoe Cat could only be unlocked when "Grandon Mining Corps" was part of the current pool.
• Miter Saw Cat is the only Grandon Mining Corps unit whose Evolved Form's English name isn't just the Normal Form's with "Power" added in front, as it also drops the word "Miter".
• The second line of Miter Saw Cat's Japanese description, "Tabitabi tsumaranai mono o kitte shimau," ("He often cuts worthless objects") is a reference to Goemon Ishikawa XIII's iconic catchphrase in Lupin III, "Mata tsumaranu mono o kitte shimatta." ("I've cut yet another worthless object.")
• Miter Saw Cat could be seen in Subterra Guardians' attack animation before he was added to the game, albeit with a darker color scheme, two pilots instead of one, and the number "05" instead of "10".
