Strategy/Usage

This unit is ideal to replace the meatshield line for that half a second when a powerful enemy unleashes an attack, examples of this are Advent bosses with Omni Strike like Daboo or Surge enemies like Kappy Jr. or St. Dober, who would advance a lot if no one rushes in to trigger another attack. This emergency line of defense is also usable on CyberFace, Brollows, and most other slow-attacking or hard-hitting enemies.

All of this works because it takes a short while before Stone Cat's hitbox disappears for good, after it commits suicide on an enemy, meaning that enemies can remain stuck on it for a bit. Due to its short attack animation, however, it won't stick around for more than the minimum time. Like Capsule Cat, he can also be used for starting certain enemies' attack animation; this is useful against enemies such as THE SLOTH or Director Kurosawah.

Stone Cat's usage can also be drastically improved with Research Up Cat Combos like Biohazard, Bony Bone, Cheating Heart and Bad Guys, with a recharge time more similar to some of your meatshields like Shigong Cat or Ramen Cat. This cat is also ideal for taking out isolated Assassin Bears.
