Strategy/Usage

Like the other Ultra Souls, Urashima Taro has significantly different stats between Normal (spammable) and Evolved Form (high performance), both of which can be used effectively depending on the situation.

Normal Form

Urashima Taro has too much range to be used as a proper meatshield, so he ends up being little more than a generalist attacker who doesn't die immediately once he is reached by the traits he targets. As for quality, he strongly resembles Drama Cats, just with shorter range and better stats. Use him with meatshields to take out dangerous enemies with medium-short range.

Evolved Form

Guardian Gamereon is a different unit. His range is good enough to be used as a generalist, but his damage is low, so bringing him specifically for damage is usually a bad idea, if not for the fact that he'll protect your cats for a while once he is reached. Instead, this form works best as a powerful anti-black and angel tank.

He works especially well against Kurosawa, Sunfish Jones, Two Can or any other black or angel enemy whose attacks are difficult to avoid. His use should instead be avoided against rush armies, such as most stages with Shadow Boxer K or Angelic Gory spam, as he'll quickly get overwhelmed.

Compared to other tanks, Gamereon has high health, but also a long cooldown and unusually low DPS, making tanks like Maeda Keiji preferable more often than not.

True Form

King Gamereon has better stats overall, which are especially important for a tank. He is now able to withstand attacks much better, his occasional attacks have a stronger effect on the battlefield and he can outrange more stuff, which makes him more versatile. For the rest, he's the same.

His use is not recommended in late game, especially Uncanny Legends, unless a lot of Catseyes and NP are invested in him, as tanks, more than other types of units, suffer a lot from the gradual increase in strength of the average enemy. A single Sir Rel, for example, can destroy a lvl.30 Gamereon in roughly 10 seconds, so a slip-up usually costs a lot, especially for a unit with Gamereon's recharge time.

Talents

Resistance to freeze and knockback are both very situational talents. Since Gamereon is rarely usable outside of his niche, they mostly end up unnoticed unless Chickful A or Angelic Sleipnir are around, so only unlock these resistances if you are desperate.

Health up and attack up are definitely important, as this unit needs all the help he can get to stay relevant. Slow, lastly, can help Gamereon be relieved of hordes that were hitting him, by knocking them back with damage and keeping them there, meaning that this talent ends up being a minor improvement.
