Strategy/Usage

Nymph Cat's primary use is to inflict long-ranged Area Attacks, as she lacks any other special abilities. Compared to Vaulter Cat, her health and standing range are lower and she has a larger blindspot, but she inflicts more damage, attacks faster and more frequently, costs slightly less and recharges slightly faster, basically acting as a more aggressive version of Vaulter. For this reason, defending her should be a priority. The use of meatshields or tanks who let enemy frontliners live to act as stepping stones is most recommended when using this unit.

True Form

One big issue with this unit has always been her pathetic survivability, which this form improves to a degree, by increasing the health by more than 50%. This makes her more viable, but still too frail to be used freely and without thought. She does, notably, have a place as a long-distance rusher, possibly getting into the range of a tough enemy similar to Nyandam, to hit the backline with a powerful attack, possibly twice, before inevitably falling in battle.

Against Akus, Fiend Cat might be used to gain terrain on heavily shielded bosses while the shields are down and can be quite effective against their cyclone, but tends to struggle against them due to low health, some Akus having Aftermath, or piercing range due to some other ability.

Talents

Resistant can increase Fiend Cat's survivability even more. While he normally likes to stay away from danger with his LD, this talent can give him more of a fighting chance whenever Aku enemies do push into his blindspot.

Targeting Angel enemies means that Fiend Cat can not only tank more hits from agressive Angel pushers but also push them back, with an LD attack that can possibly work against the likes of even Angelic Sleipnir. Due to their lack of shields, Angel enemies can be more vulnerable to Fiend Cat's knockbacks than Aku enemies.

Resist Slow is a situational ability, however. It could see some use against Sunfish Jones, Cruel Angel Clionel, Condemned Peng, Possessed Empress, and Sathankhamun VIII, especially since Fiend Cat can't just outrange them like he can normal enemies. However, to keep Fiend Cat alive long enough for this talent to really help, his Resistant talent should optimally be unlocked, as well as his Target Angel talent for the Angel enemies. Only consider this if you have NP to spare after unlocking both of those talents.

Attack Buff and Defense Buff are decent abilities. However, like with many other units, the Catseye route should take priority over these talents. Additionally, the Resistant talent should obviously be unlocked before even considering the Defense Buff talent.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Looks like a humanoid cat wearing a dress, a golden laurel crown and blond hair. Wields two axes, one gold and one silver, which she throws when attacking.
• Evolved Form: She is now an Olympic swimmer held by another cat. Instead of axes, she has two medals, again one gold and one silver, which she throws when attacking.
• True Form: Reverts to the general structure of the first form, this time, however, resembles a Viking-Demon warrior instead. The axes stay gold and silver, but change into battle axes, the pool seems to be demonic fire instead of water, the body appears masculine, full of scars and muscular, but also with horns and a demonic tail.

Trivia

• Nymph Cat is based on the well known fable of the honest woodcutter. What remains unchanged between the various version is that a woodcutter drops his axe in water, then a mystical entity tries to return him a golden and silver axe, which the woodcutter claims do not belong to him. Only once presented with his own axe, does the woodcutter claim it, only to receive all three as reward. Later, one or more less honest individuals attempt the same thing, but lie, thus receiving nothing. The specific version referenced by this unit and her Japanese description involves a Nymph presenting both the valuable axes at once.
