THE SLOTH

THE SLOTH (ナマルケモルル Namarukemoruru) is an enemy that appears in Legend Stages.

Enemy

THE SLOTH is one of the slowest enemy units in the game. He has a very slow attack rate, but he can inflict upwards of 8,000 damage on multiple Cat Units. This enemy is relatively similar to Bahamut Cat: slow attack rate, slow speed, but very high attack power and range, with the difference being that unlike Bahamut, he has high HP (300k at 100% strength magnification.)

He can stall your cats for a remarkably long time, making him extremely deadly. THE SLOTH truly becomes a monstrous threat when used as support with extremely powerful enemies, most notably in Attack on W-Cyclone and Pitfall Zone. Do note that while THE SLOTH can easily stall your cats, your cats can also stall him, using his advantage to yours. When there is little to no support, simply throwing in periodic Crazed Cats can help stall him while you build up cash for your onslaught.

Strategy

THE SLOTH is usually being defended by peons in the stages that it appears in. As such, a good strategy is to lure him as close to the Cat Base as possible, delaying support from other enemies. Island Cat, Crazed Whale Cat, Jamiera Cat and Crazed M. Titan Cat can then be used to deal high damage, while usually being able to survive at least one attack (two to three). Alternatively, units with over 450 range, such as Li'l Nyandam, will be able to deal damage to THE SLOTH without being hit by his attack. After completing (and if you have completed) all 3 chapters of Into the Future, Awakened Bahamut Cat can be used to deal massive amounts of damage, provided that THE SLOTH has little support and Awakened Bahamut is sent out immediately after an attack.

THE SLOTH (emphasis on sloth) is really slow, both in attack rate and speed. He can be overwhelmed by a horde of your meatshields and other cats that will protect your strong cats because of this.
