Strategy/Usage

Normal/Evolved Form

Neneko is just barely better here than in her default uniform. She has the same stats, except area attack but 90 less range, and now lacks the defining cat combo Sister Act. This puts her at a great disadvantage, even more so than her other variants due range being the only thing keeping them safe from most typical Metal enemies. 220 range is enough to outlast most typical metal enemies, but with this being said, she is more unreliable than before overall just due the range loss. As with all Neneko variants, she is not meant to be and should not be used for general usage.

True Form

Her multi-hit gives her more chances to launch a Critical Hit, with each part of her multi-hit being as powerful as an attack from her previous forms. Combined with her faster cooldown, she improves noticeably. Her multi-hit Area attacks lead to more consistent results, especially against peons such as Metal Doge and even the likes of Metal One Horn. Her general usage on Metal stages does improve, but she still struggles against later Metal stages even with her buffs.
