Rare Cat

Cat

Evolves into Rover Cat Mk ll at level 10.

Evolves into Catellite at level 30 using Catfruit.

Pros

• Strong against Aliens.
• Decent health for its cost.
• High DPS for its cost, especially in True Form.
• Immune to Warp (Weaken and Slow too in True Form).
• Quick recharge time.

Cons

• Single-target attacks.
• Health falls behind late-game unless at a high level.
• More expensive than most other meatshields, even in True Form.

Strategy/Usage

Rover Cat is a useful meatshield in both Into the Future and Cats of the Cosmos thanks to its high strength against Aliens and its immunity to Warp. At high levels, it can tank many hits from even Star Pengs and its attack power allows it to break General GreGory's Barrier. Less useful in later Legend Stages, where many Aliens can kill it in only one or two hits.

Functions very well with Research Up Combos, leading to a somewhat reliable defensive unit.

Its True Form gains immunity to Slow and Weaken, which can help against Cli-One, Calamary, Croakley, Queen B and Horror.

Despite its stats and abilities, it shouldn't be relied on as your only meatshield against strong Alien threats.
