Moneko is a Special Cat that can be unlocked by clearing Empire of Cats Chapter 1, though in the Nintendo 3DS version, Moneko is a Super Rare Cat and can be unlocked via the Rare Cat Capsule. True Form added in Version 11.0 decreases recharge time, increases HP and Critical chance, and gains the Mini-Wave ability.
Before 3.2.0, she could only be unlocked after 10 people had input your invitation code.

Strategy/Usage[]
As Moneko is very slow and has short-ranged attacks, she'll be inefficient in most stages as her 15% chance of Critical will rarely be enough, but she can at least kill the CyberFace in Steel Visage if nothing better is available. Her main use comes from her Combos, as Sister Act offers a good damage improvement for just 2 units. It can also be combined with Artist Cat, who might easily be in the army regardless for an extra Worker Cat level which never hurts. If Sister Act is combined with another 2-slot attack Combo like Brave Cutter, the resulting damage boost (+20%) will be higher than using 4 slots for an Attack Up (M) instead (+15%).
With appropriate timing and planning, Moneko can be useful in early stages that feature 1-2 Metal enemies and can even be used against Super Metal Hippoe. However, she is easily outclassed by any Critical Hitters obtained through the Rare Cat Capsule, as well as Cyclone drops such as Catornado, Waitress Cat and even Space Cat.
True Form[]
This True Form offers too little too late, adding a mini-wave, reducing her recharge time, and improving her Critical chance a little. Superstar MONEKO still loses out against competing alternatives by the time it is obtainable and mostly acts as a trophy of game progression. She can still help against Metal Doges, Croconators, Koroniums and, to a degree, Metal One Horns, if necessary. Her Critical mini-waves do have a niche in mixed stages, as she doesn't need to specifically target a Metal enemy for her mini-wave to take them out. Granted, with her low attack stat and horrible range, this niche is unreliable and only useful in a few stages.

Trivia[]
- Moneko's color scheme is consistent across games. Her yellow blouse in Monster Hunter was carried over to Nyanko Defence Force and Go! Go! Pogo Cat, and Miss MONEKO's pink dress and blue-and-green accessories in Merc Storia were kept for Nyanko Defence Force and partly included in Superstar Moneko's design.
- Moneko had a third form in Nyanko Defence Force three years prior to the introduction of Superstar Moneko, although it was just a simple palette-swap with two more lights added to her stage.
- Moneko was the first of the two Cat Units needing an Invitation Code to unlock until Ver 3.2.0., the second one being Bean Cats.
- She is the first unit to have her own unique death animation.
- Moneko had many improvements before the game had the current English Version:
- Reduced her recharging time from 9,999f (approximately 5 minutes and 33 seconds) to her current recharge value.
- Added an ability to do Critical attacks (10% chance), this ability was later buffed to 15%.
- At 8 and a half years, Moneko is the unit with the second longest release delay between their Normal and True Forms. As of Version 12.4, Bean Cats holds the record with a little under 9 years.
- Unlike Valkyrie Cat and Bahamut Cat, she isn't considered a Legend Cat as she can be upgraded past level 40 even before clearing An Ancient Curse.
- In The Battle Cats Unite!, there is an error in her preview screen stating she can be unlocked when clearing all "Into the Future" stages rather than all "Empire of Cats" stages.
