Strategy/Usage[]
Pied Piper Cat is essentially an Aku-specific Thaumaturge Cat, meaning that his use in that matter is heavily replaceable. Along with that, his horrendous survivability makes him quite hard to stack. Pied Piper Cat's only advantage over Thaumaturge Cat is shorter foreswing, and even this advantage means little when considering that Pied Piper Cat doesn't even have 100% uptime on his weaken. Additionally, as many Aku enemies are safe behind a Shield, his Weaken chance effectively drops to 40% or depends on another unit to pierce that shield.
While his decent Shield-Breaking capabilities may sound appealing, his terrible health and subpar range make him a bad choice when it comes to that matter. Aku Researcher and Talented Li'l Macho Legs Cat simply perform better in almost all areas. Aku Researcher in particular has similar shield-breaking chances when you count in TBA but with much better range and animation. This unit is still usable against short-ranged Aku Enemies such as Aku Gory, but his lack of survivability really takes its toll and makes this unit a bad one overall.
In a cruel twist of irony, Pied Piper Cat comes from a challenging Aku stage. Any players who can beat that stage without this underwhelming Cat Unit have barely any need for him.
