Strategy/Usage

Pogo Cat/Masai Cat is a rather inefficient, expensive meatshield, which is easily outclassed by other, cheaper units. Its True Form, Jiangshi Cat, looks very good at first glance, since it survives lethal strikes which seems like it could work like 2 meatshields in one, however, that's not really the case. Jiangshi is basically 2 Macho Cats for the price of 3.2, which means it'll drain a lot of money which could've been used for spawning larger hitters or upgrading the Worker Cat, which can be deadly in late-game stages, and using Macho Cat alongside Crazed Macho Cat performs the same way Jiangshi Cat does while consuming less money. And though it's much cheaper than Wall Cat and Crazed Wall Cat, those 2 have much better HP paired with 1 knockback, which means they do their job as meatshields way better than Jiangshi. It has nearly no advantages outside of 4-star since the basic meatshields (Macho, Wall, Crazed Macho, Crazed Wall) outclass it at their niche. It only shines on levels where enemies drop tons of money or against slow hitters, such as Nyandam or THE SLOTH, when there isn't any enemy supporting them.
