Evolution

Evolves into Grudge Cat at level 10.

Evolves into Ritual Cat when obtained from the Salaryman Awakes! Stages (may be dropped on the first stage but guaranteed on the second stage) and is level 20 or above.

Performance

Pros

• Short recharge time
• Strong against Red enemies
• Area Attack [Evolved, True]
• Increases attack power by 100% when health reaches 50% [True]

Cons

• High cost
• Slow movement and attack speed
• Short range

Strategy/Usage

Due to his low stats, he is only viable in early game as a general attacker and should not be used later on.

True Form

Ritual Cat is merely stronger, with better stats that make him worth using in a wider part of the game. Sadly, this part of the game is already trivial compared to the stages where his True Form can be obtained in the first place. In other words, by the time you get him, it will be obsolete due to low overall stats for his cost, recharge time and role overall.
