Mola King (Uber Rare Cat)

This article is about the cat unit. For the enemy unit, see Mola King (Enemy).

Mola King is an Uber Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Survive! Mola Mola! collaboration event. True form added in version 9.4 (JP Only) increases range. 

Cat Unit # 174
Uber Rare Cat

Cat

Evolves into Living Legend at level 10.

Evolves into Pacific Ocean King at level 30 using XP and Catfruit.

Pros:

• Short recharge time for an Uber Rare.
• Quick attack animation.
• Good range, even better in True Form.

Cons:

• Pathetic HP.
• Low damage and relatively long time between attacks.
• Very low DPS.

Strategy/Usage

Generally speaking, there is little point in deploying Mola King, as his damage output is subpar, he is effectively guaranteed to die in one hit from any enemy attack, and lacks any form of special ability to offset his staggering weakness. His only redeeming traits are his range and recharge time, though considering how easily he dies, the player likely won't be able to stack him unless the enemy force is shorter-ranged and incapable of gaining ground.

His DPS is only slightly higher than Bahamut Cat and Ururun Wolf (pre-True Forms), despite the fact that both of these units are Special Cats who have far better survivability than Mola King. While Mola King may have a range advantage, there are a mere handful of enemies which outrange Bahamut and Ururun, but not Mola King, so this strength is unlikely to make a worthwhile difference in most stages.

His True Form, while considerably improving his range, ultimately changes little about his usefulness. As before, Pacific Ocean King's DPS is only slightly higher than Schoolbus Nyandam, who equals him in range, has far better survivability, and has a chance to Slow all enemies. While Pacific Ocean King can be used in the same niche situations as Schoolbus Nyandam, the fact that he cannot confidently be called a better choice in comparison to a Special Cat is beyond sad.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Resembles Mola King's appearance in Survive! Mola Mola. Appears to be a sunfish with a blue body and a white underside. Wears a golden crown and has two parasites (according to Survive! Mola Mola canon) that resemble whiskers.
• Evolved Form: Resembles Living Legend's appearance in Survive! Mola Mola. Appears to be the same fish with vegetation growing around the crown and with a slightly lighter shade of blue. The fish now has 9 parasites visible and fish are attached to it. It also has a scar behind its fin.
• True Form: Loses all of its accessories in exchange for a golden aura.

Trivia

• Mola King directly evolves into Living Legend, as opposed to first evolving into Aquarium King as it would in Survive! Mola Mola.
  • This inconsistency is repeated once again, as the true form, Pacific Ocean King, isn't reachable by evolving from Living Legend, but from the Voyager, which is an entirely alternate evolution to the Living Legend. Once the player evolves from Aquarium King, he is asked what, as a Mola Mola, should be the most important thing in their life: Living Legend is reached by choosing "Blessings", but Voyager is reached by choosing "Freedom and Hope". The Living Legend, upon evolution, dies of old age, making the evolution sequence in The Battle Cats quite different from the one in Survive! Mola Mola!

• Its low HP is a clear reference to how easily sunfish die (which is also a running gag and main story driver of Survive! Mola Mola where the main objective is to avoid killing the sunfish).
