Strategy/Usage

First, note that this cat has no generalist value whatsoever, except at the very beginning of the game, where about every unit can be worked with. For this reason, only use him against Zombies.

This cat can be very helpful against Miss Haka, Zyclone and Big Sal due to being able to knockback other Zombies out of their burrow animation, if this is a good or bad thing is dependent on the situation you're in. Although, with the nature of his ability and low stats, he shouldn't be relied on as your first choice against Zombies.

True Form

Ectoweight Cat gains doubled health and 30 more range. The doubled health would improve his survivability by a large margin, if his knockback count also increased. As it stands, the improved health still doesn't really increase his survivability against burrowing zombies, as they he will at least have to be knocked back two times before he is out of the Zombie's range. Therefore, the health improvement is only good for generalist qualities (which it almost has none of) and Ectoweight getting an extra few seconds to knockback a burrowing zombie before getting knocked back himself.

The range improvement gives him another zombie to counter: Lord Gravey. This allows Ectoweight to consistently knockback Gravey compared to the other forms, which have the same range as it, not allowing it to be a Gravey counter. Overall, mediocre True Form at best; other anti-Zombie units would be worth investing in first.

Talents

Ectoweight's Talents allow him to target Alien enemies, which is unfortunately not a very good thing, as Aliens have an overabundance of backliners. Thus, it is a worthless improvement, and the attack and health up Talents do very little, as Ectoweight will always lack in those stats too. Savage Blow may seem like a good investment, but Ectoweight's second strike is weak in power, and his survivability is not ideal for an attacker; thus, this Talent is not a wise investment.
