Snowball (Event Enemy)

Enemy

• Snowballs that are thrown from the enemy base to the Cat Base at really high speed.
• The most annoying enemy in the event: they remain on the ground after they hit a Cat Unit and need an attack from the Cats to actually clear them out, which is a disadvantage for players that bring many Cats that attack one enemy at a time.
• Their damage increase as the player progress through the event. The third stage in the event has snowballs spawn at ridiculous rate.
• They are very similar to Brollow, they attack quickly and hard but then will remain stationary for a while.

Strategies

• Good defense is necessary to endure the snowballs, particularly in the form of lots of meatshields.
• If one has anti-Shockwave cats (Cat Machine and/or Sadako Cat's True Forms) they can easily get the Manic Macho Legs Cat and use the Level 4 Shockwave and then easily clear the path of many snowballs.
• Snowballs can be cleared when they are flying to the Cats by any kind of attack. However, their quick speed makes it so that most cats cannot hit them in time. Hurricat is a noteworthy exception.
• Metal Cat can be useful against them in small numbers, but the massive amounts of snowballs in later stages will easily break him down.
• Hurricat completely obliterates snowballs; it outranges them, attacks extremely quickly, its mediocre damage-per-hit isn't an issue, and has Area Attack to clear out large amounts of snowballs.

Stats

Trivia

• Snowballs will eventually attack again, given enough time; however, the attack cooldown is almost as long as Unknown Cat's recharge time.
• Like Curling Cat, Snowballs have a ludicrous amount of time between attacks, making it effectively only able to attack once.
  • Curling Cat is the first Cat Unit to have this gimmick.
• This enemy's stats are similar to Capsule Cat; it has potent attack power, impressive speed, yet if it is struck by almost literally anything it will die.
