Strategy/Usage

Strike Unit R.E.I. is very well-balanced overall. She can be seen as the Pai-Pai of anti-Floating Cats, except with lower viability outside of her specialization. Take note of R.E.I.'s high speed and below-average range (for an Uber Rare Cat), as she can put herself in peril against long-ranged enemies like Le'noir or go ahead of your meatshields. R.E.I. has the same range as Dragon Cat and should be protected well because of this.

Her immunity to slow trivializes Queen B but has little usage elsewhere, as the only other non-collab Floating enemy that can slow is Variety Bears, which come with four other nasty effects and have the same range as R.E.I.; and the only stages to use Croakley with Floating enemies are Broadband Omens and False Resurrection.

True Form

Flight Unit R.E.I. addressed her significant problem of attack rate, making her more usable as a generalist and against Floating enemies. Additionally, she is now Insanely Tough against Floating Enemies making it that much more likely for her to finish her attack before being interrupted. Overall, her True Form is a great improvement that makes her a considerably more valuable unit for a relatively cheap Catfruit cost.

Talents

Flight Unit R.E.I.'s first Talent of note is Freeze, which works particularly well for her; this ability has a very good chance of triggering at 40% as well as a very ideal freeze duration: any longer and enemies knocked back by her powerful attacks would return in her range after a second attack, which would be problematic. Immunity to Toxic makes her a very good counter to Gobble, Zollow and Heavenly Herald Papuu. Survives is excellent too, as she has enough range to stay out of trouble for a good amount of time. As she relies on her stats to be of any use, the Defense and Attack Buffs are also a good idea to get if you've already used Catseyes to boost her level.

Trivia

• Her attack animation resembles Gunbuster's Super Lightning Kick from the Gainax OVA anime Gunbuster.
• Strike Unit R.E.I. was added in the same update as Queen's Coronation, version 5.4, as though she was designed specifically to counter Queen B.
