Cat

• Chance to freeze Floating enemies (Longer in True Form).
• Moderate attack rate.

• Quick attack animation.

Cons:

• Low stamina.
• Single-target attack.
• Low attack power, even in True Form.

Strategy/Usage

This cat has a great ability, which is to be able to freeze Floating Enemies, and a good proc. chance. Due to its short range in its 1st and 2nd form, it may be difficult to use properly against many Floating enemies with a longer range. Its range improves greatly in its True Form, making it a more viable option in stages like Way of the Ninja: Hard+ where a boss with relatively low range is present. Sadly, it is still outranged by other SoL enemies like Owlbrow in its true form, which means that this shouldn't be your go-to cat when facing Floating enemies, but it is helpful. After the release of 7.0, its True Form can be stacked in Eldritch Forces to Perma-Freeze the Mecha-Bun. In chapter 3, Shaman Cat's evolved form can help against Teacher Bun Bun on the moon, if you can stack enough of them. Don't rely on them completely, however, as their short range can lead to the demise of your stack.

• Its evolved & True Forms have the same expression as Crazed Tank Cat.
• You can sometimes see a ghoulish face in its true form attack animation. The face is on the purple glow the Necro-Dancer Cat makes.
• This cat's True Form is a direct reference to the Necrodancer from the video game Crypt of the Necrodancer. Its description also refers to how the Necrodancer's magic causes the dead [and who he afflicts] to come to life and dance.
