Strategy/Usage

Weaken is vastly inferior to slow and freeze in most cases, but what makes Onmyoji Cat unique is that she can weaken almost any enemy in the game, even Relics and, more importantly, Traitless. Onmyoji Cat has a useful niche against enemies that may otherwise prove impossible to consistently stall, such as Kory, Dober P.D, Crazed Cat and Primeval Cyclone, but she suffers from Single Target, a long attack animation and low DPS and health. 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 perma-weaken, so even the most mighty of enemies who OHKO 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 one Wave Attack can wipe out your stack of Thaumaturges in seconds. Resist Freeze is most likely intended 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.
