Strategy/Usage

Onmyoji Cat is a useful cat to have, especially in Empire of Cats and Into the Future. That being said, at higher levels, having a 50/50 chance to halve any given enemy's attack power is on the more powerful side of things. Her drawbacks are her Single Target, long attack animation, low DPS and health. This can best be solved by heavy meatshielding and putting them in large stacks. Also, to prevent her from weakening the enemy's peons instead of the boss, pair her with Paris Cat and Crazed Sexy Legs Cat so that only the boss remains standing.

True Form

Thaumaturge Cat gains improved health and increases her weaken chance to 100%. Thanks to these improvements, there's no longer a risk of stacking and going into the meatshielding trouble for the enemy to not even be weakened. A stack of Thaumaturges, Paris Cats and meatshields will do the trick a lot of the time. The weakening effect is still 50%, too, and one Thaumaturge alone is enough to permaweaken, so even the most mighty of enemies who one-shot your meatshields may not be able to do so. The difference between an enemy at full strength compared to a weakened one is incredible, and once you can unlock Thaumaturge Cat, do it. You won't regret having her on your team.

Talents

Thaumaturge Cat's Talents can be rather useful in certain stages. Immunity to Waves is the most useful of the bunch as Wave Attacks can wipe out your stack of Thaumaturges in seconds. Resist Freeze is most likely to counter Henry as he can make Thaumaturge stuck in a perma-freeze, but it is rarely if ever worth all the NP. Resist Curse is also most likely to counter the Relic Doge Base as all Relic Enemies can easily destroy Thaumaturge, but it is no less situational than Resist Freeze. Defense Buff can increase Thaumaturge's survivability and Attack Buff does nothing and is not worth investing in.

Trivia

• Magica Cat's hair and outfit are grayscale, cat-sized versions of the titular character's from Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel.
• Magica Cat's alien contract may be a direct reference to the 'magical girls' in Madoka Magica.
• Thaumaturge Cat's design is a combination of the Dragon Quest characters Hargon (same robe and pose) and the Dragonlord (same horns).
• Thaumaturge Cat's staff resembles Kukuri's from Magical Circle Guru Guru, as well as the "evil eye" associated with Aku Enemies.
