Swordsman Cat (Rare Cat)

Not to be confused with Swordsman, a unit from the Princess Punt Sweets Collaboration Event.

Swordsman Cat is a Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule. True form greatly increases his health and attack power.

Cat Unit # 58
Rare Cat

Cat

Evolves into Sword Master Cat at level 10.

Evolves into Elemental Duelist Cat at level 30 by using Catfruit.

Pros:

• Fast attack rate.
• Very high health for a rare cat in True Form (17,000-22,000)
• Deals x3 damage to Red enemies. (x4 if all Into The Future treasures are unlocked)
• Fast cooldown.
• Good DPS.

Cons:

• Low range.
• Single Target
• Low damage per hit against non-red enemies

Strategies/Usage

Swordsman Cat acts as a stronger, more aggressive Axe Cat, capable of slicing any red enemy in two. Although this cat has mediocre attack power, it is cheap and easily stackable, and a group of them can shred red enemies.

Unlike Dark Cat and Island Cat, Swordsman Cat can outrange Shy Boy, so with good meatshielding, a stack of them will be able to shred them apart with little trouble.

Once it gains true form, this cat is surprisingly powerful against red enemies even when compared to the likes of Island Cat, doing a massive 13,600 damage per hit with every anti-red treasure at level 30. He is a huge help against common yet dangerous short-range red enemies like Bore and Shy Boy, being able to annihilate them with the help of Island Cat and Crazed Whale in a matter of seconds, no matter how buffed up they are. He also gains a decent amount of bulk, which allows him to survive some powerful attacks.

This cat is exceptional in stages that are predominantly red enemies, such as NASA, Greenland, Attack on R-Cyclone, Red Alert, and Easter Island with the 2 One Horns. Since the boss, Dark Emperor Nyandam, is red, a big enough stack of this cat- even as low a level as 15- is even enough to solo Chapter 2 Moon of EoC.

The Target Angel talent isn't that useful since it can only outrange Gabriel, but can still come in handy against Sunfish Jones and Freezed Boraphim to deliver ridicoulous amounts of damage.

Appearance

• Normal: Wears a circlet on its head, and elegant clothes. Carries a small shield and sword.
• Evolved: It now has two upgraded swords that create a fireball when attacking. It also has long, luxurious hair and is somewhat like a small and male version of Paris Cat.
• True Form: Now dons a monocle, and carries two rapiers surging with (what would most likely be) Fire and Electrical Energy. Alternatively, this may just be red flames and blue flames.

Trivia

• In The Battle Cats Pop!, this Unit is renamed "Swordscat".
• The True Form bears a striking resemblance to a Xenoblade character who also has a similar monocle like attachment.
• It could also be based off Lloyd Irving from the "certain game" Tales of Symphonia. Both have a similar hairstyle, and Elemental Duelist has Lloyd's signature dual swords, one blue (in his right hand) and one red (in his left).
