Strategy/Usage
Pogo Cat is a rather inefficient and expensive meatshield, meaning that it is always better to use other, cheaper meatshields unless there is money to waste. However, he is useful for beginning players, as his surprisingly high damage allows him to function both as an attacker and meatshield. Even then his usage becomes redundant by the time players are entering Empire of Cats Ch. 2 and is completely worthless in Empire of Cats Ch. 3 because of x1.5 additional cost and his pathetic stats as an attacker.
True Form
Jiangshi Cat, looks very good at first glance, since it always survives lethal strikes, allowing it to work in the same manner as two cats would. However, this is usually not the case, as his cost is more than three Normal Cats, with the survivability of only two, making it relegated to mostly only stages with infinite money in them or as a meatshield you use when you don't have enough slots but still need extra defense. He can also work on a few enemies with very high DPS.
In most situations, Jiangshi is easily replaced by other more cost efficient meatshields, such as Mohawk Cat, Eraser Cat and their Crazed counterparts, primarily due to the fact that they take up more space on the field and fill gaps left by the aftermath of strong attacks quicker than Jiangshi Cat.
Jiangshi has limited advantages outside of 4-star since the mentioned meatshields outclass it in their niche. He can, however, shine on levels where enemies drop tons of money or have slow hitters, such as Nyandam or THE SLOTH and stages filled with Black enemies, who drop loads of money. Keep in mind that on stages with slow hitters, Metal Cat and Manic Eraser Cat both outperform Jiangishi in terms of stalling, Metal Cat in terms of health and Manic Eraser for cost. He is also good on most Cyclone stages, as every meatshield will only survives one hit anyways.
Talents
It is not recommended to invest in the Talents of this unit, as they all grant relatively straight, but small improvements, at least compared to many other Cats. The only talent that stands out is the speed, allowing Jiangshi to hold the front line much better and to reach it with a lower chance of being intercepted by some Long Distance attack. However, this is completely up to you whether you unlock it, because slower speed creates a thicker defence, although unlocking his Speed Up Talent can be beneficial, as it lessens the previously mentioned problem of clogging the cat spawn limit, as he'll rush and die, which is ideal for enemies like R. Ost. Whether or not you invest in speed is up to you.

- Jiangshi(僵尸) means zombie in Chinese. The main feature of Chinese zombies is jumping and having a paper with runes on the head.

The zombie will jump around under the user's control until the seal is removed and the zombie goes back to being mindless.
