Cat Unit # 35
Super Rare Cat

Cat

Evolves into Hacker Cat at level 10.

Evolves into Cyberpunk Cat at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.

Pros

• Second longest range in-game and (Assassinlan Pasalan has the longest)
• Good attack speed.
• True Form 100% slows non-Metal enemies for 2 seconds.
• Stackable

Cons

• Single-target attacks. [Normal from]
• Long recharge time.
• Quite expensive. (Talent upgrade makes cost more manageable)
• Slow movement speed.
• Very low health.
• Has a huge blind spot (cannot attack closer enemies)
• Long attack animation.
• No knockbacks before death for protection against melee enemies. (Though he will probably die anyway.)
• Low DPS
• Low Damage (higher in True Form)

Strategy/Usage

• Even though he has a long recharge time, he can be stacked to deliver high DPS from long distances in the long run.
• Mainly use this unit for sapping a boss' health slowly or clearing small peons (such as Those Guys or Doge).
• Besides his high attack power, Hacker Cat could be used, with his uber range, as a support to deal with very long-ranged enemies, such as Master A.
• There is a kind of cheesing strategy available with this Cat. You can set its range to hit the enemy castle, and little by little the enemy castle will decrease in health. That way you can clear long-run stages without having to kill the boss. This can be done on Absolute Defence and Pitfall Zone.
• Use him in tandem with Bahamut due to his excellent range.
• Remember that Nerd Cat and Hacker Cat have minimum ranges. They will be unable to save themselves from close-up attackers. Protect them well to avoid this issue.
• Due to their long range, it is possible to stack them by stalling a weak peon and quickly destroy the base.

Trivia

• This Cat was given the "long range" 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.
• The only things that can hurt this cat at its full range are Wedding Kerihime (Enemy), the lvl 12 Shockwave from the Berserkory, the laser from Mega Cat, the Shockwave from Cyberface, Ramiel from Evangelion Collaboration, Cruel Angel Clionel and the Angry Sun.
• Before BCEN ver. 3.0, his normal form description was: "Said to be unstoppable... if in his room. Net denizen who is famous for flaming. Uber long distance attacker.".
• His first form, when able to hit behind its target, has the highest range of any cat in the game.
• Unlike most cats, his evolved form is different from its normal form, trading in 300 range for an area attack.
