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 stats for a spammable cat.
• Able to slow enemies in True Form.
• Part of the Cool Japan CatCombo

Cons:

• Slow movement speed and attack speed.
• Mediocre health and attack power.
• Close-ranged.
• Single-target attacks.
• in 1st and 2nd forms, he has 0 abilities

Strategy/Usage

• This unit is very strong in the early game (Empire of Cats, the first half of Into the Future Chapter 1, early Stories of Legend).
• Later in the game, it becomes outclassed by a lot of units.
• While its True Form gives it the ability to slow all enemies (except Metal units), it 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, it's still a very important unit to purchase, since it 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.
• Even though the cat itself is nearly useless, the True Form is actually somewhat useful against foes with lower range as it can slow them.

Stats

*First stats are 1st form's initial, second and third stats include 300% Empire of Cats Treasures; recharge time may vary.

*Time between attacks is the time of the attack from the attack's execution until the next attack animation starts (includes backswing).

For units with multi-hit attacks, attack animation is the part of the animation leading up to the first hit.

*See this section to calculate Samurai Cat's stats.

Initial Stats:

Appearance

• Normal Form: Looks like a regular Cat, but wears a kabuto. Carries a samurai banner.
• Evolved Form: Looks like a knight. Carries a fat lance.
• True Form: Looks like a pastry chef. Carries a whisk with whipped cream on top.

Trivia

• Samurai Cat carries a longer weapon but his attack range is shorter than his 2nd and 3rd forms.
• Even though this cat appears to be modeled after the standard Cat (like how Ninja is modeled after Axe, and Sumo after Tank), it has a longer attack animation.
