Sniper the Recruit (Super Rare Cat)

Not to be confused with the Item Sniper the Cat.

Sniper the Recruit is a Super Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule when "Reinforcements Cats" are part of the current pool. True Form added in Version 9.9 increases range, decreases time between attacks and can slow non-Metal enemies.

Strategy/Usage

Sniper the Recruit has a very long-ranged attack. His damage is almost non-existent, but his ability is particularly useful when stacked. He is essentially a free Sniper the Cat, albeit with lower damage. Like Sniper the Cat, he is particularly useful against individual bosses (such as Dober P.D). However, you should not use Sniper on levels with many peons, as he will likely miss the boss.

True Form

Sniper the Deadeye performs much better with the extra range, the slow ability and faster attacks, but still has the weaknesses of his prior forms. In other words, unlocking this evolution simply makes him even better at what he already does.

Trivia

• Sniper the Heavy's Japanese name, Negolgo, is a portmanteau of neko, meaning "cat", and Golgo 13, the pro assassin and sniper from the manga of the same name. Using him even activates a Cat Combo named Thirteen.
  • Sniper the Deadeye's age of 31 is just 13 reversed. In fact, his Japanese name is Negolgo 31!
