Strategy/Usage

Use Nobunaga to perma-freeze Black enemies from a distance. His massive freeze uptime allow him to be great both for Black hordes, by crowd-controlling them and preventing them to stack up majorly, and enemies who aren't pushed back easily, by completely locking them down and leaving them to the mercy of your damage dealers. As long as there aren't long-ranged enemies like Tackey and as long as you have enough meatshields, you should be able to take on most any Black-only stage like most of the XP stages.

However, he sees competition from Bombercat. Although Oda's uptime is over 100%, his survivability is bad due to his one knockback, plus his recharge time pales in comparison to Bombercat. The ONLY common enemy that Nobunaga can outrange that Bomber cannot is Two Can, who, however, has Single Target. Overall, he is good at freezing blacks, but after unlocking Bombercat, his usage becomes limited.

True Form

Immortal Nobunaga gets better health and damage. His performance doesn't change, if not for the fact that he has more time to fight back and freeze after he gets reached, plus he can stay under attack from enemies with Long Distance, Shockwaves or just longer range than him for longer. Overall, it's a small improvement.

Lastly, the extra freeze duration can help, but his uptime is well above 100% already, so it can be ignored. Instead, while enemies who got knocked back by an attack from the previous form would often come back just in time to get hit by the third attack, they will now come back AFTER Oda's third attack, making this added freeze duration a negative in some cases.

Talents

Curse immune is an interesting talent for this unit. Since Oda doesn't get knocked back, having this immunity can make him effective against blacks while under constant fire from Loris, such as in Miracle Iris. Sadly, 100 NP for this very specific situation is not worth it. Improving health and wave resistance can make Oda better in stages where waves can't easily be blocked and where his ability can be of use, but this is just as situational. This leaves speed, which is just a double-edged sword, and survive. Survive can sometimes even double Oda's "life expectancy" on the battlefield, making it a very good upgrade, if you often rely on this Uber.

Trivia

• This cat is a tribute to Oda Nobunaga, a Japanese historical figure from the Warring States Period.
• The temple located at the bottom of Oda Nobunaga represents the Honoji Temple, where he committed suicide.
• The samurai located above Oda Nobunaga's head resembles that of Akechi Mitsuhide, his protégé that notoriously tried to murder him.
• The supernatural aspects of Oda Nobunaga (specifically Wargod Nobunaga) suggest he may be a reference specifically to the Onimusha character.
• This unit has the longest enemy freezing duration and, even though only his True Form says "100% chance to freeze", all of his forms can freeze Black Enemies with a 100% chance.
