Strategy/Usage[]
This unit is extremely good at controlling close-ranged Alien enemies. Protect him well to ensure that the Aliens stay frozen in their tracks while your Paris Cats, Macho Leg Cats, and Chill Cats wipe out the frozen enemies.
Due to having acceptable stats as a short-ranged area attacker, it is possible to stack several of them over a long period of time to effectively keep some Alien enemies stunlocked. This is possible against some powerful Alien bosses such as Corrupted Valkyrie and Cosmic Cyclone making the fight against them much easier.
True Form[]
Seafarer Cat is a notable improvement on Surfer Cat thanks to his better stats, Freeze and guaranteed Survive ability. With these, he can be stacked much more easily and effectively, even when enemies push through meatshields.
Talents[]
Since this Cat has great stats, improving his health and damage is a good use of NP, as long as Seafarer is also granted a high level. The improvement to his freezing capabilities is also a nice talent, as it makes this unit more consistent and way better, when stacked, against aliens that don't outrange him. Warp immune has advantages and disadvantages. Unlock it for better performance against nasty backliners with warp, or don't, for better survivability in rare occasions. Lastly, avoid Curse Resist, as the stages where it would even matter are few.

- True Form: Seafarer Cat now has hair covering his eyes, and he is fishing. His raft has been expanded. A sock, fish, and squid are hanging off of three logs which are tied to a tree (?).

Attacks by reeling in a swordfish.
