Strategy/Usage

Pogo Cat is a rather inefficient, expensive meatshield, which is easily outclassed by other cheaper meatshields. It's 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 he'll drain a lot of money which could've been used for spawning larger hitters or wallet leveling, which can be deadly for late SoL, and using Cat and his Crazed Counterpart performs the same way he does while consuming less money. And though he's much cheaper than Wall Cat and Crazed Wall Cat, these 2 have much better HP paired with 1 knockback, which means they do their job as meatshields way better than him. He has nearly no use outside of 4-Star since the basic meatshields (Cat, Wall, Crazed Cat, Crazed Wall) outclass him at their niche. The only levels where he shines is on levels where enemies drop tons of money, against slow hitters, such as Nyandams or Sloths, when there isn't any enemy supporting them. He could also be useful when you only have space in your lineup for 1 more meatshield, since he is essentially 2 Macho Cats in 1 slot, but be aware he might drain your money.

Trivia

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

  • Many other cats are featured there as well, such as Kasa Jizo, Gross Cat, Nerd Cat, etc.
