Strategy/Usage

Normal Form

Their attack power is gargantuan; however, they can only hurt a few types of enemies, making them situational. You can use the above flaw to your advantage, as they won't attack until an enemy they can hurt is in their range, meaning that they will not attack common peons, such as Snache. This also allows you to stack them; effectively reducing the danger of stages like Dark Souls, as stacking enough Warlocks and Pierres will allow you destroy the enemy base without spawning the boss.

Their Normal Form has a broader range of use than his others, mostly because of his Base Destroyer being able to achieve 490,365 damage to them, but also because you can expect to encounter Floating enemies more often than Angel enemies. If acquired early on in the game, this unit can make all of Into the Future a cakewalk for beginners.

Evolved Form

Dark Merchant Babil gains extra money from Angel and Alien enemies. This ability is especially useful, as most Aliens don't drop much money. Despite this, Babil is a great anti-Angel and can easily do massive damage to Angels like Boraphim, Youcan and Sunfish Jones, so do not discount this form because of his new targeting and lack of Base Destroyer.

True Form

While Mad Doctor Klay is incredibly strong against Aliens, he attacks only them, making his use even more limited. However, his attack and health are greatly increased in True Form, so keep that in mind when playing with them. You likely won't use this form unless you find yourself stuck on an Alien stage, as his targeting towards only one trait is an extremely large weakness.

Talents

Mad Doktor Klay gains many immunities through his Talents, one of which is the ability Warp Blocker. This allows him to be useful in and some levels of Cats of the Cosmos, although it is costly and doable without Mad Doktor Klay. Wave Immunity allows Klay to be useful against Aliens with Waves, like Elizabeth the LVIth, or Axoloty, provided you let another Cat take the brunt of his attack for the latter. Despite this, it is too situational for its cost, so think about if you want to buy it in the first place.

The last immunity is curse immunity, which does work and helps Klay in Uncanny Legends as he will no longer halt and not attack enemies, but unfortunately, is too situational to be helpful, due to the lack of many Alien and Relic stages. Defense and Attack buffs are also helpful, but unfortunately not needed, as Klay already has monstrous base stats.

Appearance

• Normal Form: A young boy dressed in a jester-like outfit (Warlock) holding the chain to a large smiling patchwork cat creature (Pierre). It attacks by lunging at the enemy with its spiked hands, while the boy tries to pull it back. There is also a cat in the balloons tied to the creature's back.
• Evolved Form: As the description says, the creature's true form is now revealed; a large black demon now chained up even more (by what could be Babil) around its torso and ankles (one of the chain balls being a Cat). It has large claws on its hands. Now attacks by lunging at the enemy head-first, while its captor still tries to pull it back.
• True Form: Both Warlock and the creature are steampunk-themed. The creature has gears and screws coming out of its shoulders, back, and fists. On one gear is the a face of a cat. It is also seems covered up with some cloth or bandages and has goggles on top of its head. Warlock is now wearing a hat with a gas mask, and a robe with some vials. In one hand, he is holding the creature's chain, and in the other, he is holding a green potion. Now attacks by jumping upon and crushing the enemy, while its captor still tries to pull it back.
