Strategy/Usage[]
Santa Kuu fortunately got a better fate than Kuu, type γ. The former has generally higher stats, which is a good sign, and more importantly, better trait targets. If obtained early, Santa Kuu can make prompt work of Into the Future, especially the Floating Continent stages that contain enemies of both her target traits. Speaking of which, she does fine against them in general; Santa Kuu outranges a good portion of them, even Angelic Slepnir by a slight margin, and her solid effective HP and DPS keep her alive for quite some time. Being a spinoff of Kuu, however, means that the player will be dealing with an exuberantly long attack frequency and inconvenient foreswing, potentially causing missed hits.
An even bigger issue is a lack of catching up to the original Kuu in terms of content. Modern Alien enemies now have plenty of tools at hand: Warp, Barriers, Long Distance/Wave attacks, and generally a more menacing disposition—factors the Elemental Pixies are able to counter but Santa Kuu is oblivious too. For Angels, many other Ubers are more up-to-date, stronger, and more reliable than her, from Mighty Deth-Troy-R to Jizo's Moving Castle, and Mushroom Cat has far more interesting perks while being a solid anti-Angel.
Divine Kuu even got Ultra Talents before Santa Kuu got her True Form, with new, better niches and a cure for Divine Kuu's infamous attack frequency leaving Santa Kuu in the dust. This at least gives Santa Kuu plenty of room to improve in the future, but currently, she becomes an outdated collector's item once Cats of the Cosmos is cleared.

- Evolved Form: Now in color, though Kuu's outfit's palette is white with red fur rather than the inverse her previous form suggested.
