Cat
Evolves into Castaway Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Seafarer Cat at level 30 using Catfruit.
Pros
- Decent DPS for his usage.
- Great health for his usage (greater in True Form).
- Faster than average movement speed.
- Fast attack animation.
- 30% chance to freeze Aliens for 120f (40% chance in True Form).
- 50% chance to survive a lethal strike (100% in True Form).
- Freeze time overlaps total attack cycle time.
Cons
- Mediocre range.
- Long recharge time for his usage.
Strategies/Usage
- Surfer Cat 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.
- It is possible to stack multiple Surfer Cats 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.
- This cat is extremely useful in the Stories of Legend. He is good at clearing the way, especially against Doge Dark or any other close-ranged enemy (small/support type). It is a must-have in your cat army that can be useful in most stages.
- Castaway Cat works well as a mid-ranged Area Attacker, along with Princess Juliet Cat, Avalokitesvara Cat, and Cameraman Cat. Out of these, Castaway is the best for general use, as it sports very high health, good range, and cheap cost, as well as a useful ability.
True Form Analysis
Surfer's True Form, Seafarer, is incredible. It packs health comparable to Sushi Cat, as well as a 10% improved Freeze chance and 100% KO resistance. This alone makes it a notable improvement on Surfer Cat. With these, Seafarer can be stacked much more easily and effectively, staying well behind meatshields. Overall, Seafarer gets a drastic upgrade in usefulness, going from a prime anti-Alien niche cat to a stellar anti-Alien staple and premier mid-ranged attack Cat.
