Strategy/Usage

Pogo Cat exists mainly to take hits in place of other units, not unlike Tank Cat. The difference comes from Pogo Cat costing a lot more, but he can survive anyone's attacks thanks to his survive ability. In practice, his cost isn't worth the resulting effect, making his use recommended only as a replacement for Cat in stages with an overabundance of money.

This unit also delivers high damage for what he is, which allows him to be more desirable as a meatshield in certain occasions, but it is usually much better to let Tank Cat defend and your attackers of choice do the damage.

True Form

Jiangshi Cat's use does not change, he does, however, become way better at what he does, as he can now survive attacks every time. Although he is still too expensive to be used on everyday situations, he can become a valuable asset in situations where units have no chance of tanking hits, or where holding the position becomes important.

He shines 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 tend to outperform Jiangshi 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

The story changes when this unit receives talents. Speed is the most important, as it allows Jiangshi to get where he needs to get much faster, allowing him to get in the way of enemies way more easily, plus he can hope to deliver his pretty good DPS on slow hitters for far longer. With this, his use on everyday situations is, at the very least, no longer out of the question. Damage and health up are decent talents, bring them to level 5 if your Jiangshi has a decent level, so he may survive attacks more often and leave a bigger impact with his attacks, going further may note be worth it.

Lastly, avoid the resist wave and slow talents, as they will rarely come into play, plus reducing wave damage is pointless if Jiangshi has already triggered his survive ability.

Trivia

• Pogo Cat has his very own game in the form of Go! Go! Pogo Cat.
• The Masai (pronounced mas-eye) is an ethnic group in Kenya, which is well-known for their jumping tribal dance.
• Version 3.0 of The Battle Cats gave him the ability to survive a lethal strike.
• Jiangshi(僵尸) means zombie in Chinese. The main feature of Chinese zombies is jumping and having a paper with runes on the head. It is said in Chinese legends that when a seal (runic paper) is placed onto a zombie's head, the zombie will fall under whoever taped it onto its head. The zombie will jump around under the user's control until the seal is removed and the zombie goes back to being mindless.
