Strategy/Usage

Similarly to Cats in the Cradle, Shinji Cat is used as a short-range tank to deal quick and high shockwave damage.

Despite having lower health, speed and slightly lower DPS than Cats in the Cradle, Shinji Cat has a lower cost, faster attack animation and Shockwaves in all forms rather than just in True Form, making him slightly better in some situations, especially early on or against Metal Enemies. However, once Quizmaster Cat is acquired later on, there is no reason to use this cat against Metal enemies, as Quizmaster is much more spammable.

Shinji Cat excels in stages where the boss deals low damage or against Long Distance/Omni Strike enemies such as Dolphina or Othom.

Despite his ability, he is not recommended for most Black enemies, as knockback is rarely of any use against them and his short range means that he will die easily, although his waves are still effective against them and will most likely knock them back regardless. Most Black enemies have high knockback counts either way, so this ability isn't that useful.
