Strategy/Usage

This unit has pretty much no use at all, regardless of where in the game you're on. On early game, His stats are very poor, his upgrade cost is too high to improve his usage and there are always better picks for his role such as Tank Cat, Axe Cat, and Gross Cat. In later game, his pathetic range makes him nothing but simply a meatshield, which due to his speed and cost gets easily outclassed by other more common meatshields, such as Cat, Tank Cat, and their Crazed counterparts.

At least he can help to get some User Rank, if you don't have any cheaper (in terms of upgrade cost) or better unit to upgrade, that is.
