Strategy/Usage
Normal Form
Nerd Cat has Single Target attacks with mediocre damage, but has more effective range than the other two forms, making it able to cheese certain stages by using the enemy limit. Of course, this is due to it having higher range then the other forms. With all this being said, if not for cheesing, this form should not be used once Hacker Cat or Cyberpunk Cat have been unlocked, due to the restriction of Single Target.
Evolved Form
Hacker Cat has the same qualities of Nerd Cat except with Area Attack, it can be stacked at the start of levels for long ranged area damage. It is also very useful for stages that have a boss with a lot of range such as Chubby B. Goode or Forest Beasts, although it retains the same long recharge time and high cost for a Super Rare.
True Form
Cyberpunk Cat gains the Slow ability vs. all non-Metal enemies and increased damage. This form is now no longer used for damage, as the new Slow ability is very good, allowing Cyberpunk to be even more useful when stacked at the start of a level, as enemies will almost be permanently Slowed, or Slowed for very long with little downtime, depending on how many Cyberpunks you stack. As this effects all traits except Metal, this makes Cyberpunk one of the best general crowd control units in the entire game. The increased damage improves on what it was already used for in it's first two forms as well; long range damage against long range enemies that your other units will have trouble getting to.
Talents
The talent you should prioritize is the Slow Up talent, as it raises its already very good Slow ability to new heights, improving Cyberpunk the most. The Survive talent is necessary to give Cyberpunk a degree of survivability and, although it isn't always possible to recover after being reached, it is all this unit has, seeing his low health and one knockback. Barrier Breaker is unnecessary, mostly due to the massive amount of great alternatives. Furthermore, Cyberpunk's lack of a piercing range prevents him from being able to use the ability on backliners, at least without a setup. Cost Down talent is most useful in tandem with the Survive a Lethal Strike talent in stages in which you can't stack Cyberpunk, as most general stages that Cyberpunk is used in, he can also be stacked in, thus making cost irrelevant.
The last talent is a standard Attack Buff, which like all other stat boost talents is helpful, but in no way necessary. Considering Cyberpunk Cat's low attack power, however, it is best left alone, as it does not improve much.

Trivia
- Nerd Cat was given the "Long Distance" ability in BCEN 3.6.0, along with a buff in attack power and attack rate (doubles the values). Before the update, he would hit the enemy closest to him, alternating between increasing and decreasing its range.
- Before BCEN ver. 3.0, Nerd Cat's description was: "Said to be unstoppable... if in his room. Net denizen who is famous for flaming. Uber long distance attacker.".
