Strategy/Usage

This unit is made to be used as a shield to protect your other cats, especially against Angel enemies. It doesn't work too differently than Tank Cat, but it trades cost and spammability for a specialization against a trait and the potential to reach much higher health values. The fast and strong attacks are the icing on the cake, making it effective at clearing annoying peons or to stall and defeat long-ranged area attackers such as Master A., Camelle and Sunfish Jones.

The cat's fast attack rate (3 hits/1s) allows him to also clear certain Metal Enemies, namely Metal Hippoe and Metal Doge, in a reasonable amount of time, but he lacks strength against strong non-angels, with prime examples being Gory Black and R. Ost.

When paired with research Cat Combos such as Biohazard and Bony Bone, Artist Cat can be a very valuable meatshield even in stages without many Angels. One of the easiest example is in Deathhawk, where he can stay long enough to permanently stall the fast hits from Manic Mohawk and Master A. This makes him useful in 4 Star Stories of Legend as well, due to being a high defense meatshield.

Despite all this, his slow speed and high price still prevent him from beating Tank Cat and Crazed Tank Cat as a general meatshield, unless boosted beyond reason.

Talents

Ramen Cat relies a lot on his basic stats, so Attack Up and, most importantly, Health Up are good talents to unlock. Knockback resistance drastically improves this unit's effectivness, but only against Angelic Sleipnir and some non-angel supporters that may be present in a stage, so it can be seen as situational, but good regardless. Slow resist is not very useful, as Ramen is already rather slow and there are very few enemies that pose a threat to him through the slow debuff. Curse Resist, on the other hand, is useless for most of the game and only comes into play in a couple of stages that combine Relic and Angel Enemies, or Angels and the Relic Doge Base.
