The bane of many debuffers, Loris has a moderately damaging attack which consists of him detaching his sunglasses-like eyes, revealing another, identical pair underneath, jumping into the air, and throwing them into your backlines. He can be considered as a Relic variant of Tackey, but is more dangerous for his Long Distance curse than his damage output, as the effect lasts just long enough for him to effectively perma-curse your ranged attackers. Although he deals less damage, he has more than double the health and knockbacks of Tackey, significantly increasing his survivability.
When buffed to 150% or more, Loris can potentially become more threatening, although that is mostly dependent on the stage in question. Loris's attack per hit and damage per second do remain underwhelming at ~9,000 damage per hit and a mere ~1,800 DPS, but he gains more survivability as he has 560,000 or more health now, a tad more helpful as he can consistently reposition and allow the frontline to move forward.
Strategy[]
Loris will curse your backlines with his range and stop some of your attackers from using their abilities (massive damage, slow, freeze, etc.) and thus can cripple your army, so your best bet is to rely on attackers that are immune to curse or can enter his blind spot. Still, he isn’t too hard to deal with thanks to his light (for a Relic) damage and slowish attack speed. Being a Long Distance unit, you should choose to use shorter-ranged Rusher units, as they often are able to invade Loris' blindspot.
Last year's in-vogue celebrity, famous for his flashy taste in eyewear. But it's actually just what his eyes look like... Weird how he can throw them like that. Relics, amirite?
Tarsier who was chosen for the Ancient Glasses Best Dresser award even though they're just what his eyes look like. Annoyed because he doesn't like the idea of the feeling of wearing glasses being pushed as a commodity.

Trivia[]
A loris is a slow-moving nocturnal primate known for its huge eyes. Unlike the Battle Cats enemy, however, real lorises generally don't have tails.
His Japanese name, Datemeganeru, is derived from the words date ("vain" or "stylish"), date megane ("fake glasses") and meganezaru ("tarsier").
