Strategy/Usage[]
This unit's range, knockback ability, spammability and attack rate make him quite effective against Red Enemies, as long as there isn't an overwhelming amount of Red Enemies. Stack him as a support to stop the progress of short-ranged Red enemies, such as Bore, One Horn, Shy Boy and the Red Cyclone.
If you can get a big enough stack of Pirate Cats, they can provide an almost guaranteed win against Dark Emperor Nyandam in stages where he is set as boss, provided they get a chance to get close, as a stack of Pirate Cats can effectively stun-lock Nyandam with their knockback ability, providing a window of opportunity for attackers. This is most useful in Last Gang.
Later in the game, his use becomes more limited as more stages include either backliners that you would push towards or numerous enemies that would overwhelm his single target attacks, leading to tanks and area attack stallers to heavily outclass him. He can still find use in keeping Berserkories off the frontline, like in Boiling Spring, where a stack of them will completely prevent Berserkory from ever getting close until he dies, thus eliminating his waves completely.
True Form[]
Dread Pirate Catley gains more than double the health, 30 more range and a 10% increased chance to knockback Red enemies. This mainly results in a massively increased survivability, due to the range not offering many new possibilities. The increased chance to knockback makes him even more reliable, which is always a welcome change. Overall, getting this True Form will be a worthwhile investment for 4-crown stages and stages like Ogre Island.
Talents[]
His Immune to Waves Talent is recommended, as it improves his matchup against Berserkory and Two Can (even though there are much more effective counters). Combine this Talent with the ability to survive a lethal strike and a health buff results in a viable anti-wave ranged meatshield, as long as you can watch your resources as he's pretty expensive.
Attack Buff and Resist Slow are rarely useful and, in general, not recommended to spend precious NP on.
Orb[]
Defense up against red is the only good choice, though giving this cat an orb in the first place is questionable, due to how rarely he can find use as the game progresses.
