Strategy/Usage

Swordsman Cat acts as a stronger, more aggressive Axe Cat, capable of slicing any Red enemy in two. He is cheap and easily stackable, and a group of them can shred Red enemies making up for his Single Target weakness. 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. This cat is exceptional in stages that are predominantly Red enemies, such as Crimson Catastrophe, Red Alert and Floor 21. Beginners will find him very useful for Bore and One Horn in early Stories of Legend.

True Form

Elemental Duelist 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 Blood Fruit Treasure at level 30. He is a huge help against common yet dangerous short-ranged 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 they are. He also gains a decent amount of bulk, which allows him to survive some powerful attacks.

Talents

The Target Angel Talent isn't that useful since Elemental Duelist Cat can only outrange Gabriel, Divine Cyclone and lastly Frozen Boraphims. The payoff his Melee Nuker role offers is fantastic, but for the NP it costs you'd be better off investing into Cyberpunk or another Cat Unit with Talents. He is not really useful against Sunfish Jones however, since a significant Ramen stack or Awakened Bahamut can perma-Knockback him far quicker and far more cost-effectively than Swordsman could. Other talents are nice to have, but rarely make much difference.

Trivia

• Elemental Duelist Cat bears a striking resemblance to a Xenoblade character who also has a similar monocle-like attachment.
  • He could also be based off Lloyd Irving from the "certain game" Tales of Symphonia. Both have a similar hairstyle and Elemental Duelist Cat has Lloyd's signature dual swords, one blue (in his right hand) and one red (in his left).
