Strategy

Primordial Cat serves as a meatshield against Relic and Metal enemies. Less effective on stages that mix them with other enemies as well as M. Ost due to its knockback and slow abilities.

Especially useful against Relic Bun-Bun, which takes 5 hits to dispatch a level 40 Modern Cat.

True Form

Future Cat gains Insanely Tough against Metal and Relic enemies and a faster attack rate. The slower attack animation is negligible as this cat is a meatshield and has very bad attack power. The improved resistance is what you get this true form for, improving Primordial/Modern Cat's health by a whopping 50% vs. Metal and Relics. Unfortunately, everything else stays the same.
