This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy unit, see Pastry Cat (Enemy).

Cat Unit # 20
Special Cat

Cat

Evolves into Knight Cat at Level 10.

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

Pros

• Fast recharge.
• Cheap price.
• Relatively high DPS for a spammable cat.
• Able to slow enemies in True Form.
• Part of the Cool Japan Combo.

Cons

• Slow movement speed and attack speed.
• Low health.
• Very short range.
• Single-target attacks.

Strategy/Usage

• This unit is very strong in Empire of Cats and early Stories of Legend.
• Later in the game, he becomes outclassed by a lot of units.
• While his True Form gives him the ability to slow all enemies (except Metal units), he slows for just two seconds, with a 10% chance of proccing, single-target and short range, which reduces its use to just the Cyclones.
• Even with all the above cons, he's still a very important unit to purchase, since he becomes part of one of the most useful Combos in the game: Cool Japan, which provides a Medium (15%) attack boost to all your units.
