Characters / The Battle Cats

The Battle Cats

Other Cats

In General

The "heroes" of the game, created by an unknown man and sent out to conquer the world.

---

• Badass Adorable: They may look... cute, but they're still a ruthless army hell-bent on world domination.
• The Bad Guy Wins: All of the main campaigns of the game end with the Cat Army achieving their goal of conquering the world, repelling the Alien invaders, and conquering the universe, at least in some interpretations anyway.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Although the official materials portray them as the heroes, the Cats' morality is hardline vague. Their plots can come off as standoff-ish to their enemies (who are Always Chaotic Evil anyway) as well as weird to some players. Even then there are some few Cats who are less mean than the others.
• Cats Are Mean: The cats themselves are cute, but they’re The Chessmasters able to conquer the world and eventually the universe.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Certain cats have abilities that only work on certain types of enemies, such as being strong against them. Other cats will instead be unable to affect a specific enemy type, being unusually weak against them.
• Fighting Clown: Several of the non-Uber Rare cats have bizarre appearances or use strange weapons, but are still quite powerful in battle. You wouldn't expect a living bar of soap^note Soap Cat, true form of Ancient Egg: N108 to effortlessly tank hordes of Alien enemies, or a fat cat holding pizza^note Pizza Cat, true form of Weightlifter Cat to crush entire armies of Black enemies with waves, but they can.
• Galactic Conqueror: In Cats of the Cosmos, the Cats ultimately succeed in conquering the entire universe.
• Karma Houdini: They never receive any punishment at all for the chaos and destruction they cause. Of course many of their enemies are very hostile to them, and that's why. This would apply to their creator even more.
• Small Role, Big Impact: The Cats' creator disappears from the story after the intro, but was nonetheless responsible for creating the world-dominating Cat Army.
• Time to Unlock More True Potential:
  • All cats have to have their true forms unlocked in some way before they can be used.
  • Catseyes can be used to literally unlock more true potential by raising the level cap on a specific cat.

Gamatoto

Gamatoto's appearance at level 1.

A Cat adventurer that can be sent out on expeditions, to later return with XP, Cat Food, and rare items.

---

• Noodle Incident: His adventure logs are full of bizarre, unexplained events happening to him and his team.
• Play Every Day: Gamatoto's timer keeps on ticking when the app is closed, encouraging the player to check in at least once per day to claim their rewards.
• Power-Up Food: Catamins will speed Gamatoto up, making him return from the expedition faster.
• Weirdness Magnet: Gamatoto and his team go on some pretty bizarre adventures when the player isn't looking.

Ototo

Ototo

A Cat engineer that can be hired to build new parts for the Cat Base.

---

• Anti-Armor: His Breakerblast cannon is guaranteed to shatter any barriers it hits, along with dealing strong knockback in a wide area.
• Crippling Overspecialization: The Holy Blast and Waterblast cannons are powerful tools against Zombies and Metals respectively but are functionally useless against anything that isn’t the trait they target.
• Deflector Shields: The Iron Wall cannon creates a metal shield themed after a Tank Cat, which dissipates after taking a certain amount of hits or lasting a certain amount of time.
• Holy Hand Grenade: The Holy Blast damages Zombie enemies with a blast of holy light.
• Magikarp Power: Most of Ototo's custom cannons are very ineffective at low levels, but become much more powerful later on. The Thunderbolt and Holy Blast cannons are the biggest beneficiaries, going from barely doing anything to freezing enemies for long periods of time and ripping huge chunks out of Zombies, respectively.
• Percent Damage Attack: The Waterblast cannon deals damage to Metal enemies as a percentage of their current HP, thus becoming less effective every time it's used. The Holy Blast instead targets Zombies and deals a percentage of their maximum HP as damage.
• Power Nullifier: His Curseblast cannon can disable the special abilities of most enemies.
• Power-Up Food: Like Gamatoto, Ototo can be sped up by feeding him Catamins.
• Static Stun Gun: The Thunderbolt cannon uses an electric blast to freeze enemies, regardless of their element.
• You Require More Vespene Gas: He needs materials to build new Cat Bases. They can be obtained by clearing most stages in the campaign or Stories of Legend.

Ancient Eggs

A selection of cats that start out as eggs, and need to be hatched with Behemoth Stones. Some are obtained from Empress' Excavation events, others from clearing Behemoth Culling stages, and still others from limited gachas. Their True Forms all gain greatly improved abilities, and most of them also gain Behemoth Slayer.

These include:

• Special Cats: Haniwa Cat (Ancient Egg: N001), Cat Cactus (N003), Exorcist Cat (N201), Armored Firefly Cat (N202), etc.
• Rare Cats: Courier Cat (N101), Catarzan (N102), Gas Mask Cat (N103), Surgeon Cat (N104), etc.
• Super Rare Cats: Soap Cat (N108), Cop Cat (N111)

---

• Armored But Frail: Haniwa Cat has low base HP for a meatshield of its price, but resists Traitless enemies, and is more durable against them than Eraser Cat because of that. Gas Mask Cat is similar, though it can at least take one or two hits from some non-Black or Behemoth enemies.
• Balance Buff: The eggs were given a strange one in version 11.10, which reduced their cooldown to the minimum and lowered their cost to 180. While they're still not useful in regular levels, they're no longer useless to roll in Legend Quest, as they can be used as (subpar) meatshields.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: Cop Cat chews hotdog-flavored bubblegum to help him stay awake on the job.
• Born as an Adult: All of the cats that hatch from them appear fully grown.
• Cactus Person: Cat Cactus is an animate potted cactus with a cat face, and attacks with a volley of spines that brings to mind 1000 Needles.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Their evolved forms are colored according to the trait that they target. Not all of them follow this to the letter, though: Armored Firefly's egg is colored red when it targets both Red and Alien, while Supercar Cat's egg is white, even though Traitless is the one trait it can't knock back.
• Courier: Courier Cat is modeled after an ancient Japanese one, and appears to be delivering a Killer Cat.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Haniwa Cat has poor base HP for a meatshield, but resists Traitless enemies. On pure Traitless stages, it’s a more effective meatshield than Eraser Cat. Anywhere else, it gets quickly shredded by most enemies.
• Deadly Doctor: Surgeon Cat is able to prepare any surgical implement in the blink of an eye... which includes sharp scalpels for throwing at enemies.
• Fastball Special: Courier Cat throws a Killer Cat out of the box it’s carrying to hit enemies from a distance.
• Flechette Storm: Surgeon Cat attacks by throwing a bundle of scalpels at her enemies.
• Foil: Hitman Cat and Cop Cat are designed as counterparts to each other. Outside of their contrasting professions, both of them target traitless enemies, but Hitman is a Glass Cannon designed to blast away enemies with one big hit, while Cop is a bulky Mighty Glacier who doesn't hit as hard, but can stick around for longer. Hitman is also Lean and Mean and constantly looks around suspiciously, while Cop is bulkier and walks forward more implacably.
• Gardening-Variety Weapon: Farmboy Cat attacks by stabbing at foes with its pitchfork.
• Gas Mask Mooks: Gas Mask Cat, surprisingly enough. Unlike most examples, though, the gas mask actually serves a purpose, as it has allergies.
• Glass Cannon:
  • Supercar Cat only has as much HP as the basic cat and very short range, but delivers Bahamut-level damage with its attack and always pierces Aku Shields.
  • Hitman Cat doesn't have much health, but his bazooka delivers enormous burst damage to traitless enemies, especially if several of them are stacked.
  • Fallen Bear Cat isn’t much for HP or range, but it delivers extreme damage to Aku enemies with each attack and has a quick cooldown.
• I Know Madden Kombat: Racquet Cat attacks by delivering two quick strikes with her tennis racquet.
• Joke Character: Ancient Egg: N001 was briefly this when it was first introduced. It and the Empress's Excavation 1 event it came from were added as an Early-Bird Cameo for the Behemoth enemies and eggs, but at the time, it had no true form, and was thus completely useless. The following update pulled it out of this status by giving it a true form, Haniwa Cat.
• Light 'em Up: Armored Firefly Cat can weaken Red and Alien enemies with a burst of light from its rear end.
• Magikarp Power: The eggs' awful stats make them almost completely useless before hatching. They become proper cats after hatching, and are especially useful against Behemoth enemies.
• Monster Clown: Clown Cat seems like a relatively ordinary clown at first glance, but attacks by opening its mouth up really wide to reveal huge jaws, then biting the target.
• Mushroom Man: Mushroom Cat is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and attacks by spitting a burst of spores at enemies.
• Non-Indicative Name: It's clear that the "egg" name is more of a metaphor than an accurate description, as they look like futuristic capsules, and the cats that emerge from them are Born as an Adult.
• Professional Killer: Hitman Cat, though he's been interrogated about his jobs more times than he's actually killed. In battle, he pulls a bazooka out from hammerspace to assassinate any Traitless enemies.
• Spin Attack: Haniwa Cat attacks by stretching out its clay arms and spinning, though not to much effect.
• Stone Wall:
  • Haniwa Cat is a durable meatshield against traitless enemies, but deals Scratch Damage with every attack, similarly to Eraser Cat.
  • Cat Egg Pod has high HP and a 50% chance to dodge Behemoth enemies for 2 seconds, making it nearly indestructible against them. While it hits once for heavy damage, it then stays still for about 5 minutes, giving it pitifully low DPS.
• Super-Scream:
  • Catarzan attacks with a mighty yell.
  • When Supercar Cat attacks, the duck head on its car screams at a nearby enemy for extreme damage.
• Vine Swing: Catarzan travels by swinging on a vine coming out of a portal.
• Weapon of X-Slaying: Most of them have the Behemoth Slayer ability when hatched, making them especially effective against Behemoth enemies. Their anti-trait abilities make them even more powerful against specific Behemoths; for example, Haniwa Cat's resistance to Traitless enemies lets it stall Wild Doge particularly well.
• Whale Egg: They're eggs that hatch into cats. Cat Cactus and Mushroom Cat take this a step further: they're a plant and a fungus, respectively, but still hatch from eggs.
• You Are Number 6: Before hatching, the eggs are identified with a number. The number in the first digit shows where you get them:
  • Eggs with a 0 in the first digit of their number are gotten from the Empress' Excavation stages, with the exception of Ape Lord Luza, gotten after defeating Zero Luza in Revival of Origin.
  • Eggs with a 1 in the first digit of their number are gotten as rewards from Behemoth Culling stages.
  • Eggs with a 2 in their first digit are gotten from event gachas.

Normal Cats

The Normal Cats and their evolutions.

A group of 10 units that, with the exception of one of them, you gradually unlock over the beginning of the game. Once they hit level 30, they will evolve into their true forms.

These cats include the Basic Cat, Tank Cat, Axe Cat, Gross Cat, Cow Cat, Bird Cat, Fish Cat, Lizard Cat, Titan Cat, and Superfeline.

---

• Absurdly High Level Cap: To make up for their low stats, the Normal Cats have a high level cap, which eventually goes all the way to level 110.
• Area of Effect: Bird Cat, Titan Cat, and Superfeline have this, and Bird in particular will be your main splash damage in the early game. Tank Cat has this too, but it deals so little damage that it is rarely noticeable.
• Boring, but Practical: These cats have very simple abilities, but they get the job done early in the game.
• Blood Knight: Axe Cat is described as a "combat maniac".
• Blown Across the Room: Titan Cat's true form, Jamiera Cat, has a chance to knock back any non-metal enemy it hits.
• Cannon Fodder: The Basic and Tank Cats are essentially this.
• Com Mons: Duplicates of the Normal Cats can be easily obtained from spinning the regular Cat Capsule with silver tickets. This allows them to accumulate plenty of + levels, which can make up for their low base stats.
• Crutch Character: Axe Cat is your go-to red killer and combat cat in the earlygame, but his strengths quickly become overshadowed by other cats that can do his job better. Titan Cat’s performance also suffers past the earlygame as enemies hit harder, though it doesn’t fall off as much.
• Death of a Thousand Cuts: Cow Cat deals low damage but attacks incredibly quickly.
• Early-Bird Cameo: The True Form of Superfeline, True Superfeline, was first introduced in version 12.0 in the Japanese version, but before then a video for the Japanese version as a part of its 10th anniversary reveals the True Form a month before it was officially introduced. Notably and specifically, it reveals that the cat on the title design of the game is the aforementioned True Form, which means that, technically, True Superfeline has been in the game since the very beginning of the game's existence.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Due to the first 9 being the original cats from back when the game was just Battle Cats, the only ability any of them have is being strong against Red, as that was the only one at the time. Thankfully, their True Forms added later on gave some the opportunity to branch out into other traits.
• Energy Weapon: Bird Cat's evolved and true forms fire lasers.
• Fragile Speedster:
  • Cow Cat moves and attacks very fast, but has rather low health and attack and gets knocked back easily.
  • Superfeline moves even faster than Cow Cat and hits Relic enemies hard, but has fragile HP. Its True Form improves its HP some, making it more of a Lightning Bruiser.
• Glass Cannon: Bird Cat has pitiful health and short range, but area attacks and high damage.
• Immune to Flinching: Both Tank and Titan Cat don't get knocked back until killed.
• Interface Spoiler: Superfeline's existence is kept secret by the game, but spoiled by the fact that, in the Cat Guide, there's one last slot for a Normal Cat past Titan Cat, even when the game stops handing them out for free in Empire of Cats.
• Long-Range Fighter: Both Gross and Lizard Cat (especially the latter) specialize in long-distance attacks.
• Mighty Glacier: Titan Cat is expensive and slow, but has incredibly high health and delivers devastating area attacks.
• Mix-and-Match Critters: A good amount of them are based on cats mixed with other animals.
• Multiform Balance: Unlike the rest of them, where the True Forms are more or less straight upgrades, King Dragon Cat is slightly more powerful than Dragon Cat, but has a longer cooldown. Thus, regular Dragon Cat is better on stages where money is plentiful, while King Dragon is better on stages without as much money to go around.
• Starting Units: They're the initial 9 units that you'll collect over the course of Empire of Cats's first chapter.
• Stone Wall: Tank Cat has pitiful damage but extremely high HP for its cost.
• Superpowered Evil Side: The Crazed Cats.
• Tail Slap: Superfeline attacks by slamming the target with its long tail.
• Use Your Head: Cow Cat attacks by rapidly headbutting enemies, with its description even lampshading this.
  Thinks quick, acts quick, and uses his head.
• Vanilla Unit: In their first forms, most of them have no abilities outside of pure stats. Even in their True Forms, Mohawk Cat, Eraser Cat, Lion Cat, and King Dragon Cat have no special abilities.

Special Cats

The Cat God

"You call me? I'm God."

Classified as a Special Cat, the Cat God can be purchased with XP, and will perform miracles in most stages in exchange for Cat Food.

---

• Blow You Away: God Bless You, one of his miracles, summons a gust of wind to blow all the enemies back to their base. He also uses this as an attack when fought as a boss in the second chapter of Cats of the Cosmos.
• Bribing Your Way to Victory: He serves as an In-Universe justification. Like all Cats, he loves Cat Food, and he's willing to perform miracles if you give him some. However, this ability is disabled in Stories of Legend, all event stages, and The Big Bang.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: He'll join you as a cat unit after defeating him in the second chapter of Cats of the Cosmos.
• Fourth-Wall Observer: Most of his descriptions directly address the player or reference game mechanics.
  (Cats of the Cosmos ch. 1 description) Hey, it's me, Cat God. You look like you're having a good time reading my character text. It's almost my bath time, though, so...
  (True Form upgrade description) Y'know, I'm kinda thinkin' about evolving myself. But I don't think anything but a Gold Catfruit will do. Maybe try the Shrine?
• Healing Hands: Healing Oasis, another one of his miracles, heals all cats on the field back to full HP.
• Non-Human Head: Most of his body looks human, but his head is the same as a cat's, though surrounded by wisps of blue hair.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Compared to everything else in the game, Cat God’s photorealistic, muscular human body really stands out.
• Odd Job Gods: A self-explanatory version.
• Power Up Letdown: Perhaps the biggest case in the game. Requiring one million XP (as much as an Uber Rare cat) and an incredibly rare Golden Catfruit, Cat God's True Form gives him... 1% more health and the ability to earn extra money from enemies he defeats. It's such a minor change that it's less an upgrade and more of a Bragging Rights Reward.
• Really 700 Years Old: Subverted. He's only 20 years old, which is why he's not available for use in the Stories of Legend - the point of time the Cats travel to is before he was born. His playable form isn't affected by this, however.
• Recurring Boss: The Cat God will fight you a total of three times across all the Cats of the Cosmos chapters. His form from the first chapter also appears in the first proper stage of Zero Legends.
• Shock and Awe: Wrath of God, another one of his miracles, strikes all the enemies with lightning, for three times the damage of the Cat Cannon. It's also his main form of offense in all three Cats of the Cosmos boss stages.
• Zerg Rush: Baby Boom, his most powerful miracle, fills your wallet to maximum and removes the cooldown on Cats for a minute, potentially letting you do this with any cat.

Purchasable Specials

The purchasable Special Cats and their evolutions.

Special Cats purchasable in the store for Cat Food. Their True Forms are unlockable through limited-time stages.

These include Ninja Cat, Sumo Cat, Samurai Cat, Zombie Cat, Cats in a Box, Boogie Cat, Bondage Cat, Dom Cat, Kung Fu Cat, Actress Cat, Skirt Cat, Panties Cat, and Mr. .

---

• Acrofatic: Sumo Cat appears to avert this trope at first, moving even slower than the basic Cat... and then its True Form plays the trope straight, coming close to the speed level of Cow Cat.
• Battle Aura: When their True Forms are fought in the Awakening Stages, they all emit a smoky, dark aura where they stand.
• Cannon Fodder: Sumo Cat and Boogie Cat are essentially this.
• Crutch Character: Ninja Cat is essentially a stronger version of the above Axe Cat that scales even more poorly into the late-game... at least until its talents are unlocked.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Just like the Normal Cats, due to being added early in the game's life, the only ability any of them start out with is being strong against Red enemies. Their True Forms and Talents gave them more variety, however, and a few gained new target types and abilities in updates.
• Glass Cannon:
  • Dom Cat's True Form can output massive amounts of damage, especially to Red and Black enemies, but has low HP, slow movement, short range, and is Immune to Flinching, which means that it dies extremely easily. Even with talents, Dark Lazer's survivability still isn't very good, but it can obliterate Red and Black enemies even faster than before.
  • Kung Fu Cat has extremely high damage per hit, but only one knockback, crippling its surviability compared to other ranged attackers. Its talents at least boost its HP so it can tank a few hits if needed.
• Guest Fighter: Mr. is a cameo from one of PONOS's older series of games.
• Immune to Flinching: Sumo Cat, Bondage Cat, Dom Cat, and Kung Fu Cat all don't get knocked back unless killed. Exaggerated by Sumo Cat's True Form, which doesn't even get knocked back by enemies that are otherwise guaranteed to do so.
• Kevlard: Sumo Cat's incredibly fat body gives it more base health than Tank Cat.
• Laser Blade: Much like the character she's based on, Dark Lazer uses a lightsaber to cut through red and black enemies.
• Magikarp Power: After version 10.0 gave them their Talents, a good chunk of them have fallen into this trope. While they’re usually very weak, even in their True Forms, they become much more useful after you invest a hefty amount of NP into their Talents, especially their attack and/or HP increase Talents. ^note  The boost that they gain from these stat-increasing Talents is by a whopping 80%, instead of the usual 20% that most cats have, purely to alleviate their low base stats.
  • While he can allow you to steamroll through most of Empire of Cats, once you’re done with that, Ninja Cat easily falls into the realm of uselessness as you get farther into the game with even his True Form, Flying Ninja Cat, not doing all that much for him. His Talents bring him back into the spotlight by making him a Dodge-focused meatshield vs Reds (and Blacks, if you decide to get his "Target Black" Talent), with him doing his role surprisingly well despite his low activation chance of 20% thanks to his good spam cost, spammability, and Strong against ability, allowing him to tank certain enemies and grant more chances for a Dodge before dying. While his use is still limited vs his target traits, as he just dies outside that, the defense that he can provide will still help you out a lot.
  • Even with his fast move speed and Knockback Immunity ability, Riceball's lack of HP for his role and high spam cost greatly limits which stages he can be useful in. However, just by giving him his HP Talents, he now becomes much more capable of dealing with attacks from late-game enemies^note  At level 50, he actually has more HP than a level 50 Manic Eraser. What's more, his other notable Talents allow him to become immune to other abilities like Slow, Stop, and (most notably) Toxic. While his high spam cost can still limit his uses unless you make a cost-efficient strategy, his role as a tanky meatshield with immunity to certain status effects can still greatly help out from time to time.
  • Heavy Assault C.A.T was, simply put, a rusher whose low stats meant that he wasn’t going to be used anytime soon. While he does have the ability to Weaken Blacks, it isn’t really worth using at all, considering his flaws. Invest in his HP Up, Attack Up, and Massive Damage Talents and suddenly, he becomes a very good anti-Black rusher who can now deal a good chunk of damage for a moderate price and his semi-fast cooldown meant that you can frequently deploy him on the field. What’s more, the range boost and Weaken ability that he gets in his True Form now matter; the former allows him to outrange some Black enemies and avoid getting pummelled to death by them while the latter lets him control their pushing power from time to time.
  • Before his Talents were introduced, Ultimate Bondage Cat was easily considered one of the worst cats in the game. His True Form is supposed to be a Stone Wall version of Fish Cat, supposedly able to soak up damage from Reds, but not only was there a much better choice in the form of Sushi Cat, but his low stats means that he couldn’t even do his job. His Talents seeked to change that; his huge HP boost meant that he could actually tank against even the toughest of late-game Reds and his Dodge ability, while short at only 1 second, has a good activation chance of 40%, allowing him to activate it somewhat frequently and make him last much longer in the field than he normally should. Him being able to perma-freeze a single Red enemy is just a nice little bonus on top of all of this. All of this means that Ultimate Bondage Cat can easily compete against most anti-red tanks in terms of tanking performance.
  • Dom Cat was made to be a rapid attacker with strength against Red enemies (and Black in True Form), but unfortunately has way too little DPS to be usable until said True Form, and even then gets hampered by her high cost, paper-like defenses, and slow movement speed too much to make use of it. With Talents, however, the former two are mitigated after the Health and Cost talents, and her damage output against Red and Black enemies absolutely skyrockets, now possessing a downright insane amount of DPS against them. If that wasn't enough, she also gains the ability to summon Level 6 Wave Attacks at a 15% chance (much higher than it seems thanks to her rapid attack rate), allowing her to spread damage across the field and make up for her single-target attacks.
  • Despite his expensive 240 Cat Food cost, Kung Fu Cat, even in his True Form (Dancer Cat), doesn't have anything to make him stand out, alongside him not having anything to balance out his risk of having only 1 KB, meaning that he'll have to soak up all hits until he dies with no chance to reposition himself, and somewhat lackluster HP, among other things. Get his Attack Up and Wave Immune Talents, at the very least, and he turns into one of the most effective anti-Wave attackers as his high damage/DPS and fast cooldown allow him to really put on the hurt against many reoccurring Wave users like Kory, Dober P.D., and Youcan. While he still has the major risk of only 1 KB, his reward, his anti-Wave prowess, more than balances out his risk.
  • Beefcake Cat was one of the most useless attackers in the game before Talents, due to his pathetically low attack power and the fact that Cyborg Cat, a nearly straight upgrade, existed. After Talents, Beefcake Cat is now a decently strong attacker that can even overpower Cyborg with his Strengthen activated, and has much better health. His Surge immunity is the icing on the cake, letting him perform nicely against late-game Surge enemies and be very effective against Kappy Jr.'s initial stage.
  • Even with the area attack it gains in its True Form, Lollycat has way too low stats to actually be worth bringing, not to mention that the spammable ranged attacker role is already done much better by a good amount of units, most notably Salon and Figure Skating. Its Talents decide to take the unit in a brand new direction by making it a debuffer vs Metal through the use of the Slow ability, which it performs really well as a combination of its spammability, a good activation chance of 30%, range, and the duration of the ability being able to cover its attack downtime makes it so that you can quickly create a stack of Lollycats that can practically permanently slow down any Metals they hit while also outranging most Metals by a huge margin as well as a good number of non-Metals that may come to support them. While it's still practically useless outside its anti-Metal niche, it can’t be denied that the control it can provide against them is close to unmatched.
• Moveset Clone: A few of them (Ninja Cat, Zombie Cat, Actress Cat, Skirt Cat, and Panties Cat) have very similar stats and abilities to certain Normal Cats.
• Multiboobage: Mother Cat has three pairs of breasts.
• Power Up Letdown: Save Dom Cat, almost all of them get extremely little in the way of benefits from achieving their true forms. Fortunately, their talents are much better and improve most of them to be actually worth using.
• Took a Level in Badass: In version 10.0, all of them got talents that massively increase their effectiveness.

• Blown Across the Room: Ururun Wolf can knock back enemies occasionally. Cat God the Great also does this at a guaranteed rate, albeit only on his first two attacks and less frequently. Jagando Jr. is guaranteed to knock back Traitless enemies, while Doron's True Form does the same to Relics.
• Brick Joke: Ururun's description mentions that she has a father who happens to be a teacher.

• Rare Random Drop: Any unit that can be obtained by playing through Stories of Legend and Uncanny Legends has a 3% chance of unlocking them, with the exception of the final Legend of the saga. You’re better off using a Treasure Radar to guarantee your chances of getting them.
• Redemption Demotion: All of the Legends are far weaker than when you fought them. Some of them maintain similar offensive power, but due to Health/Damage Asymmetry, all of them lose massive amounts of HP.
• Shock and Awe:
  • Ururun Wolf attacks by calling down lightning strikes. Masked Yulala does this too, hinting at the connection between the two, as well as Urs & Fenrir, who adds in the ice element to it.
  • Elder Beast Naala attacks by calling down three lightning strikes at different ranges.
• Status Effects:
  • Valkyrie Cat's true form can sometimes freeze non-metal enemies in their tracks, Awakened Musashi and Doron can freeze Relics, and Soractes can freeze Angels.
  • Li'l Nyandam can slow enemies he hits occasionally, and Uril can slow Relics with his Surge.
  • Naala and Awakened Mina can weaken Relic enemies, while Urs can weaken all types of enemies briefly.

Legends from story chapters

• Crutch Character: Valkyrie has great stats considering how early you get her, with fast speed, and good health and damage. But even in her True Form, she still falls behind the many Uber Rares and even her fellow Legend Cats as a midgame unit, much less in the endgame where she's rendered pretty much completely irrelevant.
• Fragile Speedster: Bahamut's true form, Awakened Bahamut Cat, retains his low health but now moves incredibly fast, can deal even more damage, and attacks way faster.
• Glass Cannon: While several of the Legends qualify as this trope, Bahamut Cat takes the cake. In his first two forms, he's slow and has rather low health, but can deal up to 85,000 damage in one hit at level 30, and up to 110,000 at level 50. Awakened Bahamut takes this even further, as he is reduced to melee range, has the same HP, and has only marginally higher attack (with the extra damage distributed into two smaller follow-up hits) - but attacks more than six times faster, giving him highest normal DPS of any cat in the game.^note He can be beaten out by a hypermaxed Balrog Cat with NP enhancements.
• Hitbox Dissonance: The hitbox on Bahamut Cat's explosion doesn't change between the first and second forms, even though the second form makes a much bigger explosion.
• Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Game: Parodied and subverted by Valkyrie Cat. She's the first unit obtained who doesn't fit with the game's simple, cartoony artstyle, and her appearance in the game's ads makes her seem like she's blatantly just there for fanservice, but she's an actual unit.
• Long-Range Fighter: Filibuster Cat X has the longest standing range of all the Legends, giving it a better chance of completing its 12-second-long attack animation.
• Ms. Fanservice: Valkyrie Cat is this both in-story and out. She's constantly troubled because God Cat keeps trying to hit on her.
• Overly Long Fighting Animation: While not as long as that of its enemy counterpart, Filibuster Cat X has a painfully long attack animation where it spends about 12 seconds charging up and firing an energy ball, which explodes into a Sphere of Destruction which shatters like glass. Bahamut's attack animation is also on the long side in his first two forms, at 4 seconds.
• Person of Mass Destruction: Bahamut Cat is rumored to have caused an apocalypse before, his Evolved Form states that he really did, and his True Form outright says he has the power to destroy the world at will.
• Promoted to Playable: Cat God has always been available to perform miracles for Cat Food, but it took a while for him to become a deployable unit in his own right.
• Strong Family Resemblance: As the direct child of the Lord of Ruin Jagando, Jagando Jr. looks and shares characteristics from his parent, with a few differences (mainly him lacking an extra pair of arms and legs). This gets taken further once he's in his Evolved Form, as he looks like a smaller, near-exact copy of the parent.
• Vanilla Unit: Valkyrie Cat and Bahamut Cat have no abilities outside of pure stats. While Valkyrie Cat gains the ability to freeze almost all types of enemies in her true form, Awakened Bahamut doesn't gain a special ability, relying entirely on his brutally high attack power and speed.

Legends from Stories of Legend

• BFS: Miyamoku Musashi’s weapon is a sword that’s almost as big as he is.
• Blessed with Suck: The powerful psychic energy Musashi emits also overexposes any film near him. As his evolved form description mentions, his movie career is officially over.
• Cute and Psycho: Red Riding Mina is an adorable nature-loving girl with a mean Slasher Smile as she blows something up with her bazooka.
• Fragile Speedster: Idi:N2 can speed into battle to deliver crippling blows, especially to Relic enemies, but will die to virtually any heavy resistance.
• Glass Cannon: Although Idi:N2's raw DPS is lower than Bahamut's, it skyrockets to be even higher against Relics, at the cost of being almost as squishy and having a longer backswing.
• Lightning Bruiser: Mecha-Bun has pretty high health for its cost, moves and attacks as fast as the real Teacher Bun Bun, and has fairly high DPS, especially against the Relic enemies that it's strong against in its True Form.
• Little Red Fighting Hood: Red Riding Mina, who is actually a trained and ruthless assassin.
• Long-Range Fighter: Li'l Nyandam has extremely long range, enough to snipe most enemies from a safe distance, to compensate for his low stats.
• The Spook: According to its description, nobody knows why Idi:N has joined the Cat Army, and it's not known why it performs scans of powerful cats.
• Tsundere: Ururun is heavily implied to be one, thanks to her True Form description.
  Awakened Ururun: Now feeling the stirrings of a first crush. It’s not like she’s doing it for you! B-Baka!

Legends from Uncanny Legends

• Glowing Eyes of Doom:
  • Whenever Dogumaru charges up and fires his laser attack, his eyes glow red.
  • Naala's eyes glow yellow right before it starts calling down lightning bolts.
• Good Is Not Soft: Naala's description states that it's a "benevolent being wishing for harmony between all creatures", but it mercilessly smites enemies with thunderbolts.
• An Ice Person: Urs & Fenrir has this going for them as their lightning attacks appear to have an ice element in it as well as their wolf mount having ice crystals for the spikes on its sides and its horn.
• Infinity +1 Sword: Downplayed; Luza is one of the strongest anti-Relic units in the game who can demolish most of the Relic-focused Uncanny Legends with relative ease, but you only unlock him after finishing all of Uncanny Legends in the first place. However, he can still be used against the higher-crown difficulties of UL, as well as the other Relic-centric stages that exist outside of UL, and as a general anti-surge and anti-Behemoth attacker.
• Hunter of Their Own Kind: As an enemy, Naala is a Relic/Behemoth enemy. However, its playable iteration is not only effective against Relics itself, its True Form gives it the Behemoth Slayer ability, which lets it hunt other Behemoths and even itself. The same goes for Luza, who in his two boss incarnations is a Relic/Behemoth and Relic/Colossus enemy, but is extremely effective against Relics while having both Behemoth Slayer and Colossus Slayer.
• Killer Gorilla: Ape Lord Luza is a giant gorilla-esque monster with a cat face, and crushes Relic enemies with its bare fists.
• Lightning Bruiser: Naala has high health and endurance, hits three times in a wide radius for heavy damage, and moves and attacks fairly fast. It's balanced out by its somewhat short standing range and low knockback count.
• Luminescent Blush: Doron's face turns bright red after his mask breaks.
• Mad Artist: Doron is implied to be one; his true form's description says that he's been consumed fully by his artistic ambitions, and holds the mantra "Art is violent!"
• Magikarp Power: Like the other eggs, Ancient Egg: N000 is completely useless until it hatches into Ape Lord Luza, who is then an extremely effective option against Relics and Behemoths.
• Mighty Glacier: Against his target trait of Relic, Ape Lord Luza crushes them as a combination of high stats and having both the Massive Damage and Resistant abilities allows him to both dish out insane amounts of damage while also being able to tank a ton of hits if need be. This also applies to Behemoths, though to a lesser extent, and Cat God help any enemy unfortunate enough to be a Relic Behemoth as he'll be able to melt through them in a flash. To compensate, he moves incredibly slow, giving him a hard time on stages where speed is a necessity.
• Pre-Explosion Glow: Doron's mask emits beams of light before it explodes during its attack animation.
• Stone Wall: Dogumaru functions as one to traitless enemies, having around 320,000 HP against them at level 30. In its True Form, it becomes even more durable against them and can block off Relics as well. While it does have decent damage output, its long attack animation and lack of splash damage makes it inconsistent at dealing damage.
• Suicide Attack: Doron leaves the battlefield after attacking once. Instead of dying after his attack, however, his mask breaks, causing him to get embarassed and leave.
• Weapon of X-Slaying: In their true forms, the Legends from Uncanny Legends gain Behemoth Slayer and Colossus Slayer, making them especially powerful against these types of enemies.

Legends from Zero Legends

• Summon Magic: Soractes is able to Conjure a spirit which weakens anything it hits.

Legends from the Heavenly Tower

• Carry a Big Stick: Hermit Cat wields a staff that he uses as a club.
• Kamehame Hadoken: Master Uril throws a small pulse of energy from his hands to attack.
• Power Nullifier:
  • In his True Form, Hermit Cat can sometimes Curse Relic enemies, disabling their own cursing ability and other abilities.
  • In his True Form, Uril gets the ability to Curse Relic and Aku enemies, sealing their special abilities.
• Splash Damage Abuse:
  • Hermit Cat creates shockwaves with every attack. He also attacks 3 times in one go, meaning he will fire off 3 waves of waves if the target isn't knocked back or killed.
  • Masked Yulala's attacks have an Omnistrike effect, letting him damage enemies hiding behind meatshields.
  • Master Uril is guaranteed to create a long-lasting Surge attack every time he attacks.

Li'l Cats

Weaker variants of the basic cats obtainable through limited-time Lucky Gacha events. Their much more useful true forms are unlocked by beating their respective Calamity Stages when they're level 30.

These include Li'l Cat, Li'l Tank Cat, Li'l Axe Cat, Li'l Gross Cat, Li'l Cow Cat, Li'l Bird Cat, Li'l Fish Cat, Li'l Lizard Cat, and Li'l Titan Cat.

---

• The Artifact: Their awakening stages are based on the Crazed and Manic Cat stages, but the True Forms obtained from them have far different abilities, resulting in this occasionally. For example, the enemy Li'l Macho Legs and Li'l Jamiera Cats can produce wave attacks, even though their Cat versions can't do the same thing.
• Crutch Character: They are far cheaper to upgrade than normal cats, meaning you can easily get them to max level in the earlygame and stampede levels with cats far stronger than you should have at this point. However, they become nearly useless later on until you get their true forms. And for some of them, their talents can grant even more utility.
• Cute Kitten: Really tiny cats that are very cute.
• Divergent Character Evolution:
  • In their normal and evolved forms, they are just smaller versions of the basic cats. Their True Forms, on the other hand, gain abilities to fill spots that their bigger counterparts cannot. Their appearance also changes, such as Li'l Eraser Cat being rounded at the top of its head, or Li'l Macho Legs Cat having a Pointless Band-Aid instead of Cross-Popping Veins.
  • A Double Subversion comes in the form of Li'l King Dragon Cat. Normally, it's basically the exact same as its non-li'l counterpart, but with the help of Talents, it gains different (not to mention stronger) abilities.
• Magikarp Power: They are essentially weaker versions of the basics at first. Once they get their true forms, they get unique abilities that allow them to fill in certain niches that their normal counterparts cannot. With their talents unlocked, some of them can become outright stronger than their normal counterparts.
• Pointless Band-Aid: Li'l Macho Legs Cat has one instead of Cross-Popping Veins.

Other Special Cats

There are a small handful of Special Cats that are accessed by other means. Some were accessed by entering promotional codes... in the Japanese version. Others can be found by completing certain stages, or by even more esoteric means. Some of these were later made available in the English version as well, but through different means.

These include Tricycle Cat, Bean Cats, Moneko, Crazed Moneko, Flower Cat, Capsule Cat, Cat Bros, Squish Ball Cat, Pon Cat, Blue Shinobi, Masked Cat, Cabaret Cat, Maneki Cat, Gummy Cat, Gacha Cat, etc.

---

• Critical Hit: Moneko has a small chance to do one, while her Crazed variant is guaranteed to.
• Crutch Character: Blue Shinobi is a slightly stronger version of Ninja Cat which scales more poorly still into the late-game, having no true form or talents.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Crazed Moneko must be defeated in her own set of time-limited stages before you can use her.
• Diminishing Returns for Balance: Inverted by Gacha Cat, which gains much more HP from leveling up at high levels than it does at low levels. At level 30, it has 25,500 HP, which is poor for a melee Stone Wall unit. At level 50? It has 153,000.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Masked Cat's description mentioned Gamatoto before he was added to the game.
• Easter Egg:
  • Flower Cat can only be obtained by repeatedly dragging the door in the background of the Cat Base menu to the right.
  • In the game's port to Nintendo Switch, Capsule Cat, Cat Bros., Squish Ball Cat, and Pon Cat are regularly obtainable. They can be gained by fulfilling certain conditions... conditions that the game never mentions.
• Exact Words: In Cabaret Cat's description, it says that you won't believe your eyes when they evolve at level 10. While its evolved form, Mega Cat, certainly looks cool, that doesn't really translate into combat prowess.
• Highly Specific Counterplay: Gold Bar Cat's true form, King Nekokhamen, is pretty much build for countering Zollow and Gobbles, due to its toxic immunity and resistance against Floating.
• Idol Singer: Moneko is one who also happens to be a Cat Girl.
• Immune to Flinching: Not that it matters much, but Capsule Cat doesn't get knocked back unless it's killed. Pon Cat, Cabaret Cat, and Gacha Cat have a less useless variant of this.
• Item-Drop Mechanic: The Bean Cats are dropped after getting halfway through Empire of Cats chapter 1, while Moneko joins you after defeating The Face.
• Joke Character:
  • Cabaret Cat starts off as a more expensive clone of the basic cat, but when it evolves into Mega Cat at level 10, things change massively: it's now gigantic and highly detailed, and attacks by charging up and firing a laser which explodes into a huge Sphere of Destruction from long range. Unfortunately, its stats and attack speed are so poor that its DPS is actually lower than its first form's.
  • Gummy Cat takes a huge amount of knockbacks, preventing it from dealing any damage to most enemies, and it deals 1 HP's worth of damage when it attacks. It can't even function as a meatshield, due to its higher cost and slower recharge speed than the basic Cat. It's a nice subversion of Bribing Your Way to Victory, since it's one of the only Cats that can only be accessed by paying real money.
• Magikarp Power:
  • Flower Cat has an extremely low chance to freeze Black enemies and single-target attacks, making it one of the least powerful anti-Blacks. However, its True Form boosts its freeze chance to 100% and gives it an area attack, making it incredibly powerful.
  • Cabaret Cat is a Subverted example. At first just a more expensive clone of the basic Cat, its evolved form, Mega Cat, is massive, detailed, and has an awesome attack animation... but it's ultimately just as weak as the original, if not more so.
• Money Multiplier: Maneki Cat gains double money upon defeating enemies, and has his own one-slot CatCombo that increases the money dropped by enemies.
• One-Hit-Point Wonder: Capsule Cat is very fast and deals a moderate amount of damage per hit, but it has only 1 HP. This ends up Double Subverted as it levels up, as it can gain up to 27 HP... which remains as 1 HP functionally against nearly 100% of enemies.
• Palette Swap: Blue Shinobi is a stronger, recoloured version of Ninja Cat with some minor cosmetic differences.
• Promoted to Playable: Gacha Cat is a playable version of the Rare Cat Capsule.
• Promotional Powerless Piece of Garbage: Most of the event-limited ones have very low stats and useless special abilities, so players who didn't obtain them when they were available aren't punished.
• Regional Bonus: They tend to be exclusive to Japan.
• Socialization Bonus: Bean Cats and Moneko were formerly only obtainable by getting other people to enter a special code within their own game. This was Averted later on, when the mechanic was removed and they were made rewards for completing stages instead.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Like the other Crazed Cats, Crazed Moneko is one to the base Cat. Unlike them, however, it's actually explained what went wrong: the stress of being an idol caused Moneko to snap.
• Toast of Tardiness: Tomboy Lion Cat carries a slice of toast in her mouth while running forward at top speed.

Rare Cats

Standard Gacha Cats

Rare Cats obtained through Rare Tickets. Some can unlock true forms by using Catfruit and XP when they are level 30.

These include Pogo Cat, Wheel Cat, Salon Cat, Jurassic Cat, Viking Cat, Pirate Cat, Thief Cat, Bishop Cat, Fortune Teller Cat, Shaman Cat, Witch Cat, Archer Cat, Swordsman Cat, Cat Gunslinger, Stilts Cat, Tin Cat, Rocker Cat, Mer-Cat, Psychocat, Onmyoji Cat, Gardener Cat, Welterweight Cat, Rover Cat, Matador Cat, and Wushu Cat.

---

• Anchors Away: For his attack animation, Pirate Cat quickly launches his anchor towards his enemies.
• Bad with the Bone: Jurassic Cat uses a bone as his weapon of choice.
• Boring, but Practical: Salon Cat is the only Rare Cat from the Gacha which has no special abilities against certain foes. Despite that, the combination of spammability, long range and highly damaging area attacks make her incredibly powerful.
• Chainsaw Good: Gardener Cat's evolved form uses a chainsaw to attack. Sadly, it doesn't deal nearly as much damage as any other chainsaw.
• Com Mons: They're the most common cats to roll from the Rare Cat Capsule, though most of them are far from useless past the early-game.
• Critical Hit: Jurassic Cat can do these.
• Death of a Thousand Cuts: Gardener Cat deals low damage but attacks nearly constantly.
• Edible Bludgeon: Jurassic Cat Sitter, the Evolved Form of Jurassic Cat, strikes his enemies with some meat that's attached to a fork-like tool.
• Elemental Weapon: Swordsman Cat's true form, Elemental Duelist Cat, is so in tune with his swords that he can infuse their power with the elements themselves.
• Glass Cannon:
  • Salon Cat is decently powerful, has good range, and is spammable, but suffers from her low HP compared to other ranged Cats.
  • Swordsman Cat is this compared to most other cheap Anti-Red units like Axe Cat - a lack of resistance means he takes full damage from any attacks, but his DPS vs. Reds (especially in his true form) is almost unmatched.
• Goomba Stomp: Pogo Cat, alongside its evolutions, attacks by jumping on enemies.
• Last Chance Hitpoint: Pogo Cat and Mer-Cat have a chance to survive a lethal strike. Pogo Cat's true form and Mer-Cat's talents increase that chance to 100%.
• Magic Knight: Swordsman Cat uses magic to augment his sword strikes.
• Magical Girl: Onmyoji Cat's evolved form, Magica Cat, resembles a magical girl from a certain anime the game has collaborated with.
• Money Multiplier: Thief Cat gains double money off anything it kills.
• No-Sell: Salon Cat's true form is immune to weaken.
• Shear Menace: Gardener Cat uses a pair of shears to attack.
• Technicolor Fire: Onmyoji Cat's true form Thaumaturge Cat attacks with vibrant rainbow-colored fire.
• Youkai: Wheel Cat is based off the Wanyudo youkai.

Monthly Event Cats

Rare Cats obtained by completing stages in Monthly Events. Each one has a true form unlockable by completing limited-time stages and reaching level 20.

These include Sports Day Cat, Salaryman Cat, Reindeer Fish Cat, Adult Cat, Evil Cat, Doll Cats, Maiden Cat, Koi Cat, Madam Bride, Vacation Queen, Vengeful Cat, and Kung Fu Cat X.

---

• The Alcoholic: Adult Cat fits this trope to a tee, constantly guzzling a bottomless alcohol bottle in battle and tossing it to attack. It gets so bad that his evolved form has him attached to an IV stand, and his True Form has him thrown in prison for his own good! To reiterate: the reason why he was thrown in prison was that he drank 20 entire wine coolers.
• Beleaguered Assistant: Vacation Queen's True Form, Call Center Cat, takes abuse from customers and bosses all day. Once she clocks out, though, the story is very different.
• Cute Bruiser: Don't let Maiden Cat's cute Japanese schoolgirl outfit and pigtails fool you: she's almost as strong as the regular Titan Cat is.
• Energy Weapon: The Doll Cats use lasers to attack. It eventually gets upgraded to a short-ranged shockwave in True Form.
• Full-Frontal Assault: Gentleman Cat attacks by flashing the enemies, causing red enemies to freeze in horror.
• Improvised Weapon: Several of them tend to use these. The Rampage Cats whack foes with a Tank Cat tied to a pole, Adult Cat uses a bottle (or a shovel in true form), Call Center Cat throws a landline phone to attack, and Kite Cat has the kite come crashing down on far-away foes.
• Mix-and-Match Critters: Koi Cat is a fusion of two cats which were already Mix-and-Match Critters: Gross Cat and Fish Cat.
• Money Multiplier: All forms of Reindeer Fish Cat gain double money from defeated enemies.
• Shovel Strike: Prisoner Cat, Adult Cat's True Form, throws a shovel behind himself to attack his enemies.

Celebration Cats

Rare Cats obtained from special celebration stages that occur around certain dates.

These include Marshmallow Cat, Pumpcat, A Gift of Cats, Awa-odori Cat, Food Stall Cat, Eggy Cat, Slug Jockey Cat, Killer Cat, and Killer Tank Cat.

---

• Boisterous Weakling: According to its description, Killer Tank Cat is always itching for a fight, even though it can't tear wet tissue paper.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Delivery Cat's description states that its customers that don't pay up will face divine wrath.
• Face of a Thug: Killer Cat's True Form, Radical Cat, is apparently a kind cat at heart despite his aggressive looks.
• Foil: Like the Monthly Cats, they tend to be variants of other Cats. Marshmallow Cat is one to Gross Cat, Pumpcat corresponds to the basic Cat and Groucho Cat, A Gift of Cats is one to Cats in a Box and Apple Cat, Awa-odori Cat is one to Boogie Cat, Food Stall Cat is one to Flower Cat, and Killer Cat is a Palette Swap of the basic Cat.
• Joke Character: Killer Cat and Killer Tank Cat are identical in stats to the basic cats they're based on, but cost 100 times as much, resulting in instant Mook Depletion if they're spawned most of the time. Killer Cat's True Form, however, isn't this.
• Magikarp Power: Killer Cat starts off as the game's Joke Character, and requires three of every Behemoth Stone (including the rare yellow ones) to evolve. Once it evolves, however, it gains massive stat boosts in every area, its cost drops to a much more manageable $900 with a 6-second recharge, and it becomes strong against Floating with Behemoth Slayer, making it especially good against Pterowl Hazuku.

Other Rare Cats

Various miscellaneous Rare Cats unlocked by completing certain stages that pit the Cat Army against special bosses.

These include:

Obtained from Cyclones: Bronze Cat, Space Cat, Rope Jump Cat, Clockwork Cat, Hoop Cat, Drumcorps Cat, Volley Cat, Primordial Cat, and Aku Researcher.

Obtained from Advent bosses: Curling Cat, Glass Cat, Lone Cat and Kitten, Mightycat, Cossack Cat, Slime Cat, Teacher BearCat, Rugby Cat, Phantom Cat, Bakery Cat, Stone Cat, Pied Piper Cat, and Calligraphy Cat.

---

• Anti-Armor: Space Cat can destroy barriers, while Aku Researcher and Pied Piper Cat can shatter Aku shields.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Volley Cat, Rugby Cat, Phantom Cat, and Bakery Cat can't attack enemies too close to them.
• Battle Boomerang: Bakery Cat uses a croissant as one, and a real boomerang in its evolved form.
• Critical Hit Class: Space, Rope Jump, Volley Cat, and Aku Researcher can deal Critical Hits that can deal heavy damage to Metals.
• Glass Cannon: Slime Cat. While his health is very low, limiting his use, if one successfully manages to land his attack, then he can easily cause a lot of destruction thanks to having high damage and having a 5-blast Wave Attack, which allows him to spread his high damage throughout the battlefield.
• Improbable Weapon User: Aku Researcher uses his sign to as his main form of offense.
• No-Sell:
  • Curling Cat, Glass Cat, Lone Cat and Kitten, and Stone Cat are immune to every status effect in the game.
  • Primordial Cat is immune to Curse.
  • Mightycat takes no damage from Waves as well as protecting other cats from its effects.
  • Rugby Cat and Calligraphy are immune to Waves.
  • Phantom Cat is immune to Freeze and Weaken.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Played for Laughs with Modern Cat. She looks like a properly proportioned feline, but she looks unusual compared to the ball-shaped Cats in-universe.
• Power Nullifier: Bakery Cat can Curse its targeted enemies, preventing them from using their abilities.
• Scratch Damage: Glass Cat is imbued with the Metal trait, which makes it take 1 damage per hit (unless it's a crit). Due to its immunity to debuffs, nothing except a Critical Hit will stop it before it hits its mark.
• Stone Wall: Curling Cat can only attack once every four and a half minutes, but has absurdly high HP for its cost and is immune to all status effects. Unfortunately, its cooldown is a bit on the long side.
• Suicide Attack:
  • Glass Cat is the first unit in the game to disappear when it attacks, ramming them head-on before shattering.
  • Curling Cat has a variation of this. It will ram the first target it meets before stopping and becoming a wall. While it will attack again, it takes almost five minutes to do so.
  • Stone Cat is a rare example of a Stone Wall that uses a Suicide Attack. It has incredibly high HP, but kills itself shortly after attacking, preventing enemies from advancing for a short time.
• That Russian Squat Dance: Cossack Cat does this all the time, even as part of its attack animation.

Super Rare Cats

Standard Gacha Cats

Super Rare Cats obtained through Rare Tickets. Some can unlock true forms by using Catfruit and XP when they are level 30.

These include Hip Hop Cat, Sushi Cat, Nerd Cat, Kotatsu Cat, Apple Cat, Swimmer Cat, Bath Cat, Bodhisattva Cat, Delinquent Cat, Juliet Cat, Weightlifter Cat, Figure Skating Cats, Cat Toaster, Surfer Cat, Vaulter Cat, Fencer Cat, and Nymph Cat.

---

• Anti-Armor: If Fencer Cat can get a hit in, it's guaranteed to shatter any barrier that the target had. Cat Toaster's true form can do this too, albeit not at a guaranteed rate. Cyberpunk Cat can also gain this ability through Talents.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Hacker Cat can strike enemies from a whopping distance of 1200, but has a blind spot 800 units wide. Vaulter Cat and Nymph Cat have less extreme versions of this.
• Bling-Bling-BANG!: Bath Cat's true form uses a gold-plated assault rifle to shoot foes.
• Can't Bathe Without a Weapon: Bath Cat attacks by pulling his gun out of his bathtub. Apparently, he always keeps clean even when fighting.
• Death from Above: Hacker Cat calls in a ballistic missile to attack. Cyberpunk Cat calls down a laser instead.
• Fragile Speedster: Swimmer Cat is fast and can deal extremely high damage to Floating enemies, but has low health.
• Giant Foot of Stomping: Tathagata Cat summons a large foot to stomp on enemies.
• Glass Cannon: When compared to Vaulter Cat, Nymph Cat comes off as this, since she has a lot more DPS, but suffers from lower range and HP.
• I Know Madden Kombat: Vaulter Cat uses her pole to send herself flying into the air before crashing down on the enemies.
• Last Chance Hitpoint:
  • Surfer Cat has a chance to survive a lethal strike with 1 HP left. This is guaranteed in his true form.
  • Through his Survivor Talent, Cyberpunk Cat can survive a lethal strike, with it being guaranteed if you max it out.
• No-Sell:
  • Kotatsu Cat's true form is one of a select few units that can completely nullify shockwaves. Talents can also give it immunity to Curses.
  • Hip Hop Cat's true form makes it immune to warping.
  • Delinquent Cat is also immune to Freeze.
• Long-Range Fighter: Nerd Cat takes this up to eleven - with the second-longest range of any cat (engage range of 1200 and hitting from 800-1200), he can safely rain down attacks from an impossible distance away.
• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Delinquent Cat summons a Fighting Spirit who uses these to attack, much like his inspiration.
• Stone Wall: Sushi Cat and Kotatsu Cat have low attack, but an incredibly high HP-to-cost ratio against their respective types. In their True Forms, Roe Cat (Sushi) has double its previous health, and Octopus Cat (Kotatsu) gets the Wave Blocker ability.

Rare Capsule Bonus Cats

Special cats obtainable through Gachas marked as containing this pool. Most of them are support units.

These include Neneko ^note  Who has seasonal variants in the form of Gloomy Neneko, Sunny Neneko, Years-End Neneko, Valentine's Neneko, and Easter Neneko, Cat Base Mini, Gold Cat, Metal Cat, Freshman Cat Jobs, Sniper the Recruit, Rich Cat III, Good-Luck Ebisu, Suntan Cat, and Lifeguard Cats.

---

• Absurdly Low Level Cap: Metal Cat's maximum level is a paltry 20, which can't even be upgraded with Catseyes.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Because Ebisu and Lifeguard Cats have the Long-Distance ability, they can't attack enemies that are too close to them.
• Armored But Frail:
  • Like the Metal enemies it's based on, Metal Cat takes Scratch Damage from almost any attack. However, it has one of the most pathetic health pools of any Cat to compensate; at its maximum level of 20, it has just 12 HP.
  • Suntan Cat has a decent 50% chance to dodge the attacks of White enemies, but poor HP for its price, so it'll likely die from any attack it fails to block.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Freshman Cat Jobs. He has decent range and he's able to almost-permanently weaken any non-Metal he hits to a pitiful 1% of its original strength. While this can greatly stagger otherwise powerful bosses, he deals almost no damage, has the cooldown of an Uber Rare, is the slowest cat in the game, and will die in one hit from pretty much anything, usually wasting his slot on your team. His True Form helps to avert this trope by boosting his movement speed and granting him a Last Chance Hit Point — however, his Surge attack can also fall into this, as it's very inaccurate to compensate for its potential to weaken entire hordes of enemies.
• Blown Across the Room:
  • Sniper the Recruit is guaranteed to knock back any foe that's not a Metal. His evolved form even has his own Catcombo which increases his knockback effect further.
  • Ebisu can knockback any traited enemy.
• Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: In the description of Gelato Bro Cats (true form of Lifeguard Cats), it's mentioned that their three flavors are strawberry, vanilla, and wasabi.
• Critical Hit: All of Neneko's variants can do this. Special mention goes to Sunny Neneko, one of only a handful of units with a 100% crit chance.
• Cute Witch: Neneko is dressed as one in her Halloween variant (Gloomy Neneko and Witchy Neneko.)
• Experience Booster: Freshman Cat Jobs's evolved form has his own Catcombo which increases your XP gain by 10% should you bring him.
• Foil: Gold Cat and Metal Cat are counterparts to each other. Both of them are basic cats plated in metal, are rarely obtained from the gacha during special events, can be exchanged for more XP than usual, and fill the role of a meatshield. Gold Cat is a cheap Cannon Fodder-type meatshield, while Metal Cat is sturdier, but slower to recharge. Additionally, Gold Cat is as cheap to upgrade as the basic cat, while Metal Cat has the upgrade cost of an Uber.
• Glass Cannon: Rich Cat's True Form, Richest Cat, hits extremely hard for its price... but it still has less than 3000 HP at level 30, so it's ultimately still not very useful in battle.
• Gold-Colored Superiority: Double Subverted for Gold Cat, a gold-colored reskin of Cat. At first, despite being classified as a Super Rare, he is not even the least bit stronger than Cat, even having the exact same stats and stat growth as it and while it does share the same, usable role as Cat, that being a spammable, cheap, meatshield, it's not a role that's entirely unique as there are many other substitutes out there that perform just as well as him. Once you get his True Form, he finally gets to justify his Super Rare status and golden appearance by gaining Wave Immunity, allowing him to greatly boost the defensive capabilities of your lineup in wave-focused stages and makes him one of the only meatshields of his kind.^note  Technically, he'd be the second of his kind as a unit that fills a similar role to him was introduced in the Gudetama collaboration event, though he isn't as cost efficient as him, on top of being a Japanese-version exclusive.
• Money Mauling: Rich Cat III attacks by whacking foes with a wad of dollar bills. The true form, Richest Cat, uses a gold bar instead.
• Money Multiplier:
  • Rich Cat III gains double money off of enemies he kills. His evolved form even has his own CatCombo which raises your Worker Cat a level at the start of the game, while his true form gains an additional combo which gives you 500 free money at the start of battle.
  • Ebisu gains double money from any enemy he kills, but due to how he is mainly designed as a support unit, he won’t be killing anything all that much.
• Promoted to Playable: The Reinforcements were previously just images to go along with the Rich Cat, Cat Jobs, and Sniper the Cat powerups, but later became actual units.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Cat Base Mini exclusively utilizes wave attacks to fight.
• Stone Wall: Metal Cat is one of three units in the game (along with Glass Cat and the wall summoned by the Iron Wall Cannon, which is technically a cat unit and is Metal) that has the otherwise enemy-exclusive Metal trait, causing it to take Scratch Damage from anything that's not a critical hit. This makes it incredibly good against foes who attack slowly but deal high damage.
• Support Party Member: None of them are even remotely good in combat, yet their support abilities are vital to executing specific strategies and many of them have their own CatCombos which reward you for simply using them in the top row.

Grandon Mining Corps

A group of mining machines that were a part of the Subterra Guardians’ attack animation before becoming actual units.

They consist of Piledriver Cat, Backhoe Cat, Cutter Cat, Driller Cat, and Miter Saw Cat.

---

• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Driller Cat can't land a hit on enemies too close to it.
• Crippling Overspecialization: All of the units in the set to some degree, but the most overspecialized are:
  • Backhoe Cat has an okay 15% chance of a Critical Hit, but can’t attack anything except Metal enemies. This does mean it won’t waste its attacks on non-Metals, though.
  • Miter Saw Cat is useful against Aliens due to its dual resistance and massive damage abilities, but extremely weak against most other enemy types.
• Critical Hit: Backhoe Cat has a 15% chance of doing one.
• Critical Status Buff: Cutter Cat increases his damage by 400% when hurt. With his Last Chance Hit Point, he can do a lot of damage.
• The Dreaded: Piledriver Cat is apparently this, with all of the other members being a little scared of her.
• Last Chance Hit Point: Cutter Cat can survive a killing blow once. Combined with his Critical Status Buff, he can do a lot of damage.

Crazed Cats

The Crazed Cats and their evolutions.

Exceptionally powerful variants of the normal cats unlocked by beating their respective stages. Once all the Crazed Stages are completed, the Manic Stages are unlocked, incredibly hard versions of the Crazed stages where you can unlock their true forms.

These include Crazed Cat, Crazed Tank Cat, Crazed Axe Cat, Crazed Gross Cat, Crazed Cow Cat, Crazed Bird Cat, Crazed Fish Cat, Crazed Lizard Cat, and Crazed Titan Cat.

The majority of the tropes for the Basic Cats apply here as well, so refer to those for reference.

---

Tropes applying specifically to the Crazed Cats:

• Animation Bump: Their animations are much smoother and more detailed than those of their counterparts.
• Battle Aura: During their boss fights, all of them have an ominous purple aura shrouding them at all times. The Manic Cats share this aura, but also with flashes of black lightning crackling around them constantly.
• Blank White Eyes: All of them have blank eyes.
• Critical Hit: Similar to the classic Island Cat, Crazed Fish Cat can perform critical hits. Unlike classic Island, however, Crazed Fish has the critical ability from the get-go.
• Dark Is Evil: They're covered in ominous black markings, fittingly for being more powerful and evil versions of the basic cats.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: The only way to get them is to beat them in their respective Crazed stages, and the only way to unlock their true forms is to go through their much tougher Maniac stages.
• Enhanced Punch: Crazed Titan Cat charges up energy in his fist before punching the ground, giving him a slower attack animation than the original.
• Leitmotif: They're associated with an Ominous Latin Chanting theme that sounds very similar to Carl Orff's O Fortuna. It doesn't play on all of their stages, but does play when they're all fought at once in Clan of the Maniacs.
• Lightning Bruiser: Crazed Fish Cat has a great amount of health for its considerably lower cost, chomps down hard on enemies (especially Reds), and it's a little bit faster then the original Island Cat.
• Power Born of Madness: They've been driven completely off the deep end, and are more powerful as a result.
• Superpowered Evil Side: They're more often then not eviler, more powerful variants of their predecessors which serve as direct upgrades. That being said, there's nothing wrong with using both variants in one team...
• Splash Damage Abuse: Crazed Gross Cat can fire shockwaves at a guaranteed rate, making it the go-to shockwave unit for most players. Crazed Titan Cat can fire a much longer wave at a much lower rate.
• Super-Speed:
  • The main reason to use Crazed Cat and Crazed Tank Cat over other meat shields is that they're much faster than other options, allowing them to get to the front lines faster.
  • While Cow Cat is already plenty speedy, Crazed Cow Cat, and especially Manic Lion Cat, goes even faster.

Brainwashed Cats

A special group of cats that's based on the Wicked Cats. Only obtainable through seasonal gachas, these cats have stats similar to their Crazed counterparts, while also having their own abilities to work with.

These include Brainwashed Cat, Brainwashed Tank Cat, Brainwashed Axe Cat, Brainwashed Gross Cat, Brainwashed Cow Cat, Brainwashed Bird Cat, Brainwashed Fish Cat, Brainwashed Lizard Cat, and Brainwashed Titan Cat.

---

Tropes applying to the Brainwashed Cats:

• Blank White Eyes: Every single Brainwashed Cat has only white, no-pupil eyes, just like the Crazed Cats.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: It's in the name. Their descriptions state that they gained their new abilities through mind-control programming.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Brainwashed Tank's ability to resist Traitless damage allows him to gain much more HP against his target trait, with his True Form boosting it even more. However, this comes at the cost of being completely unable to tank well against anything else as his base HP leaves much to be desired.
• Critical Hit: Brainwashed Titan has a 20% chance to land a damage-tripling Savage Blow.
• Lightning Bruiser: Like its Crazed counterpart, Brainwashed Fish Cat has high health and DPS alongside good speed, for a cheap price, changing the normal target of Red with Zombies.
• No-Sell: Brainwashed Jamiera is completely immune to Knockback, Slow, Weaken, and Surges.
• Power Nullifier:
  • Brainwashed Axe has a chance of Cursing traitless enemies with each attack.
  • Brainwashed Cow is able to Curse Blacks and Akus, preventing them from using certain abilities, as long as he's able to attack them constantly.
  • Brainwashed Island Cat gains the ability to Curse Zombie enemies.
• Promoted to Playable: The Brainwashed Cats are playable versions of the Aku-corrupted Wicked Cats. Unlike the Crazed Cats, they're not obtained from beating these bosses; however, their true forms are obtained by defeating them in time-limited stages.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Brainwashed Axe Cat's true form, Malevolent Dark Cat adds the ability to do a Level 1 Mini-Wave with each attack. While this is virtually worthless in enhancing its combat prowess due to only using 20% of its already low damage, it does help expand its curse range.

Other Super Rare Units

Besides the above units,there are a small handful of Cats that can be obtained by clearing various event stages.

These include Catornado, Cheerleader Cat, Catway, Little Leaguer Cat, and Express Cat.

---

• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Little Leaguer Cat can hit really far away for his stats, but he can't even hit enemies in front of him.
• A-Team Firing: Little Leaguer Cat will always miss the enemy it's attacking, instead hitting the enemies behind it. A savvy player can use this to their advantage on stages with backline enemies protected by a strong frontline.
• Brutal Bonus Level: You have to acquire them from the Deadly "Advent" Stages.
• Critical Hit Class: Catornado has a fairly low critical chance and weak damage, but his attack speed is so fast he can rack up a lot of crits in no time. Cheerleader Cat, on the other hand, has a 100% chance to land a powerful critical hit, but her attack animation is so long she has a tendency to miss.
• Fragile Speedster: Express Cat acts as both this and a Glass Cannon, dealing a huge burst of damage to a single enemy and moving very fast, but not lasting very long against enemy attacks. Its evolved form, Maglev Cat, improves on this aspect by increasing its damage and becoming one of the fastest cat units in the game, its speed being on par with Immortal Yukimura. Its True Form improves on this even more by once again increasing its stats and speed, being able to outspeed Immortal Yukimura.
• Long-Range Fighter: Sorta. Little Leaguer Cat has a short attacking range (range where he starts attacking), but his actual range (range where his attacks land) is much farther than that.
• Money Multiplier: While Maglev Cat is better known for its Super-Speed and high damage, its ability to gain double the money from enemies it kills gives it even more use outside of simple burst damage.
• Mundane Utility: Time Traveller Cat, the true form of Catway, often uses its time machine to time-slip into the movie theater for free.
• Portmanteau: The name of Catornado and his other forms (Hurricat and Catyphoon) is just a combination of the word cat and the related natural disaster.

Uber Rare Cats

Exceptionally rare cats only obtainable through the Rare Ticket Gacha. They are extremely powerful and are divided into Uber Sets.

Once they hit Level 30, some of them can unlock their true forms through Catfruit and XP.

The Dynamites

From left to right: Cat Clan Heroes, Cat Machine, Nurse Cat, Marauder Cat, Summoner Satoru, Baby Cat, Lasvoss, Lesser Demon Cat, Cat Tengu and Ice Cat.

The first Uber set introduced, with no real unifying theme.

Includes Ice Cat, Cat Machine, Lesser Demon Cat, Marauder Cat, Baby Cat, Nurse Cat, Cat Clan Heroes, Lasvoss, Summoner Satoru, Cat Tengu, and Wonder Momoco.^note Ice Cat, Nurse Cat, and Lesser Demon Cat have seasonal variants, those being Lilith Cat, Yuletide Nurse, and Lovestruck Lesser Demon, respectively.

---

• Affectionate Parody:
  • The Cat Clan Heroes are this to RPG games. They're a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits led by The Chosen One out to defeat the King of Evil. And in their attack animation, The Chosen One uses something akin to a meteor spell, and everyone in the group levels up.
  • Lasvoss is this to JRPG final bosses, if not bosses in general. He’s a monstrous "incarnation of evil" off to eradicate the forces of good, his first form has Giant Hands of Doom while his second form is more in line with One-Winged Angel, which, according to his description, is revealed against the final confrontation with the heroes. His abilities can be seen as trying to imitate Contractual Boss Immunity and Turns Red; no Final Boss would be complete without those tropes after all. His name is even a corrupted pronunciation on the phrase "Last Boss".
• Crippling Overspecialization:
  • Lesser Demon Cat has extremely high attack power and fast attack speed, but can only hit a single target at a time. It gets even worse in his true form, since Balrog Cat now has the highest DPS in the game but still remains a single-target attacker.
  • Marauder's high crit chance and averagely high damage make it destroy nearly any metal enemies, but make it extremely weak to anything else. Even in his true form, this overspecialization still stands.
• Critical Hit:
  • Marauder Cat specializes in these. At his strongest form, Paladin Cat, he has a 50% chance to deal a critical attack which in combination with his fast attack rate, allows him to frequently deal critical damage vs enemies.
  • Lasvoss has a 30% chance to deal a Savage Blow to boost his already high damage output by 3x.
• Critical Hit Class: Marauder Cat has very low stats overall, but has a 50% chance to critical and has a fast attack rate. Since Metals usually have low HP, Marauder can easily dish out powerful attacks to them.
• Critical Status Buff:
  • Lasvoss increases his already obscene damage by 50% at 1% HP, helped by his Last Chance Hitpoint. No Final Boss would be complete without a Turns Red ability, after all. In his True Form, this HP trigger would eventually get improved to the still somewhat risky 30% HP instead.
  • Through Talents, Greater Balrog Cat can gain a Strengthen ability that triples his damage/DPS when he only has 33% HP left. While this boosts his DPS through the roof and allows him to devastate enemies with even a few blows, its low HP trigger means that once he activates the ability, he is soon to fall.
• Deadly Doctor: Nurse Cat is a battlefield nurse that saves lives by blowing up enemies with her giant syringe.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Of a sort. They are the first uber set introduced in the game, and the only one without a unifying theme.
• Flechette Storm: Ice Cat attacks by summoning a hail of icicles to skewer foes with.
• Glass Cannon: Lasvoss deals an absolutely colossal amount of damage per hit (102,000 at level 30), has a 30% chance to deal Savage Blows that triple this number, and also gains a 50% attack boost when at critical health^{Fun fact}If all of these conditions are met, Lasvoss is able to do the highest raw damage per hit of any cat in the game, dealing 459,000 damage in one shot at level 30. However, he has rather low HP (in his Normal and Evolved forms, anyway), and his comparatively short range puts him at the mercy of many boss enemies that can kill him quickly.
• An Ice Person: Ice Cat, obviously.
• Last Chance Hitpoint: Lasvoss can always survive the first lethal strike he takes. This also triggers his Critical Status Buff.
• Lightning Bruiser: While Cat Machine starts off with high HP and damage per hit, he's also somewhat slow to move. His True Form, among other things, fixes his slow speed issue by giving him a bit more speed to him and if you decide to get his Speed Up Talent, he can become somewhat speedy.
• Magikarp Power: One trait shared by many of the Ubers in the set is that they start out weak, but gain a big boost in power in their true forms.
  • Ice Cat starts out with poor stats and range, and her freeze chance is only 50%, making her inconsistent and unreliable at freezing red enemies. Once she achieves her final form of Ice Crystal Cat, her DPS and range jump up significantly while her freeze chance goes to 100%, letting her effortlessly Stun Lock hordes of red enemies while dealing solid damage as a bonus.
  • Cat Machine is fairly unremarkable as a tank in its first two forms, being held back by its painfully long attack animation and slow speed. As Cat Machine Mk 3, not only does it gain a big boost to HP and movement speed alongside a shorter attack animation, but it gains Wave Blocker, giving it a new and powerful niche as an anti-wave tank and support unit.
  • Lesser Demon Cat is an unusual example, as his stats are already quite high as is; however, they're not high enough to offset his melee range and single-target attacks. Greater Balrog Cat has greatly improved stats, but retains these weaknesses, so while he's more usable, he's still fairly niche. However, unlocking his Strengthen talent lets Balrog triple his damage on his last knockback, which makes him exponentially more powerful and useful later in the game.
  • Baby Cat is rather weak and expensive, and generally not worth your money. Cats in the Cradle gives it a Shockwave attack and a boost to its stats, which boosts its effectiveness massively.
  • Marauder starts off as a fairly decent metal-killer although his single-target attacks limit his usage by a lot. Then it evolves into Berserker, which has an Area Attack and even higher crit chance, letting it decimate entire hordes of metals.
  • Lasvoss is a high-risk, high-reward unit where his potential to deal insane amounts of damage in a single hit is supposed to offset his weaknesses of poor survivability and somewhat bad range, but unfortunately, his strengths weren't enough to balance out his weaknesses, making him Awesome, but Impractical at best. However, once you manage to get his very expensive True Form, Lasvoss Reborn, he becomes much better as his base damage gains a huge boost, his Strengthen is now activated at 30% HP instead, and his HP is doubled, among other things, all of which helps increase the potential damage that he can do in 1-hit to downright unspeakable levels ^note  At Level 50, he can deal 1.1 Million damage in 1-hit, assuming that his Strengthen is active and that he was able to deal a Savage Blow while also making the conditions for it a bit more bearable. While he still has his weaknesses, his interesting role in being able to have the potential to deal so much damage in just one hit does give him an interesting role in the meta while also doing somewhat fine as a midranged attacker in his worst-case scenarios.
• Mighty Glacier: Cat Machine is slow in both movement speed and attack, but it has an ungodly amount of health, a resistant effect, and delivers enormous damage with each strike. Same goes for Baby Cat, except he trades in resistance for knockback/wave abilities.
• Mini-Mecha: Cat Machine.
• No-Sell:
  • Cat Machine's true form has the very rare Wave Shield trait, which not only makes it take no damage from shockwaves, but negates them altogether. This makes it one of the few cats that can protect units behind them from the waves.
  • In addition, the true forms of several others from this set have immunities. Paladin Cat is immune to Knockback, Cats in the Cradle is immune to Freeze, Cat Quest Heroes is immune to Curse while Lesser Demon Cat is immune to Weaken from the start. Lasvoss is immune to all debuffs and waves, as well as Surges once you get his True Form.
• Punny Name: Lasvoss' name is a play on the term "last boss", fitting his thematic as a JRPG Final Boss.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Baby Cat's true form, Cats in the Cradle, produces a short-ranged wave with each attack.
• Summon Bigger Fish: Baby Cat attacks by summoning its father, an angry Mythical Titan Cat, to smash its aggressors.
• Tengu: Cat Tengu is, what else, a Tengu.
• Winged Humanoid: Nurse Cat has 6 seraph-style wings.

Tales of the Nekoluga

From left to right: Asiluga, Nobiluga, Furiluga, Togeluga, Nekoluga, Tecoluga, Kubiluga, Papaluga, Balaluga and Kaoluga.

An Uber Set that revolves around huge and deeply unsettling Eldritch Abomination cats. They share a theme of being very weak in their normal forms, before getting a massive power spike in their evolved and true forms.

Includes Nekoluga, Kubiluga, Tecoluga, Asiluga, Balaluga, Togeluga, Nobiluga, Papaluga, Furiluga, Kaoluga, and Legeluga.^note Nekoluga and Balaluga have seasonal variants in the form of Summerluga and Betrothed Balaluga, respectively.

---

• Added Alliterative Appeal: Bikinilan Pasalan's description.
  Blistering barnacles! Seems like this bodacious beach babe has 100% chance of Area Surge attacks.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Nobiluga's evolved form has a pretty far attacking range, but also has a decently-sized blind spot.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Bikinilan Pasalan's Surge attack can dish out massive damage if it hits an enemy... but it spawns in a very wide area, so it'll usually miss its target.
• Blessed with Suck: Nobiluga is immune to Knockback and Warping, among other things, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Enemies in its blind spot can attack it without risk of getting smacked by it, and he only has a single knockback before he gets killed, so there's no way for him to move backwards. And he's immune to Curses, which only seriously affect Cats with abilities that target specific enemy types.
• Blown Across the Room: Nekoluga's evolved form is guaranteed to knock back any enemies that aren't metals. In his true form, he can freeze them too. Kubiluga also does this too except it is accompanied with wave attacks allowing it to also knockback enemies that are hiding behind other enemies or Stone Walls.
• Body Horror: A lot of their body parts are horrendously disfigured and disproportionate.
• Critical Hit: Tecoluga's evolved and true forms can do these. Kubiluga's true form does them at a 100% rate.
• Critical Status Buff: Togelan Pasalan has pitiful HP, but once he hits 1% HP his already staggering attack triples. Combined with his Last Chance Hitpoint, he can unleash deadly strikes. Averted in his true form, where he gains the attack boost at 99% HP instead.
• Crutch Character: While all of the Nekolugas exhibit Magikarp Power, Togeluga functions like this once it's in its true form. Early in the game, Shishilan Pasalan's high knockback count lets it reposition out of danger easily, and its attacks deal enormous damage to all enemy types once it's strengthened, while its wave immunity is very useful. Later on, you'll get other Ubers which can deal more damage both generally and in their niches, harder-hitting enemies can kill it in a few hits even with its 100 knockbacks, and other sources of piercing damage such as surges and long distance attacks can easily interrupt its long attack animation.
• Discard and Draw: Kubilan Pasalan's ability is a shockwave that can knock back all enemies except Metal. E. Kubilan Pasalan keeps the shockwaves, but trades in the knock back effect for a guaranteed critical hit.
• Eldritch Abomination: Massive, grotesque beasts with odd and unexplained powers. The game isn't even sure whether they are still cats or not. Furilan Pasalan's description implies that their mere existence is harming the world.
• Fan Disservice: Played for Laughs with Summerluga. Its evolved form, Bikinilan Pasalan, is Unknown Cat in a skimpy string bikini.
• Glass Cannon:
  • Tesalan Pasalan's single-target attacks pack a massive punch, but it has poor health for an Uber Rare and is Immune to Flinching, so if the enemies reach it, it's dead.
  • Togelan Pasalan takes this to its logical extreme, packing 51,000 damage at Level 30 (which can be tripled with its ability), but only 850 HP, though it's negated somewhat by its Last Chance Hit Point. Its true form does away with this, turning it into a Mighty Glacier instead.
• Humanoid Abomination: Most of their evolved forms are vaguely humanoid, but are still gigantic abominations with horribly deformed bodies.
• Immune to Flinching: All of them except for Shishilan Pasalan and Legelan Pasalan are this. It's not a benefit, however, as it prevents them from repositioning out of danger.
• Last Chance Hitpoint: Togeluga's evolved and true forms have a guaranteed chance to survive one lethal strike with 1 HP left. In his evolved form's case, it will trigger his Critical Status Buff.
• Long-Range Fighter: Asiluga's true form has the longest range of any cat in the game at a whopping 1250, allowing it to strike most foes without even coming close to being in danger. Nobiluga's evolved form plays this straighter, mostly by having the actual Long-Distance ability.
• Losing Your Head: Kaolan Pasalan attacks by pulling off its head and setting it on the ground, then exhaling a cloud of dark smoke for heavy damage.
• Magikarp Power:
  • The Lugas start off as slow, weak, and expensive. Once they evolve, they suddenly gain massively increased range and stats, and most of them gain powerful special abilities. Then they evolve into their true forms, and it only gets better from there.
  • Togeluga has a variant of this, even in its evolved form. Before gaining its True Form, its extremely low HP makes it unable to use its massive attack power most of the time, even with its Last Chance Hit Point. However, Shishilan Pasalan gains far more HP and knockbacks and makes it gain its attack boost at 99% HP instead of 1% HP, making it far more reliable as an attacker.
• Meaningful Name: Barring Nekoluga and Summerluga, all of them have a word in their name that describes their distinct body parts or what they represent. There's Kubi (neck), Te (arm), Asi (leg), Bala (broken/scattered), Toge (spike), Nobi (stretches), Papa (befitting his old man design), Furi (from "furious") and Kao (face).
• Mighty Glacier: One trait all of them share is low speed and an extremely slow production time, but they make up for it with their powerful special abilities.
• No-Sell:
  • Togeluga's evolved and True Forms ignore Shockwaves.
  • Nobilan Pasalan exaggerates this, by being immune to just about every single debuff in the game, including shockwaves.
• Physical God: Shishilan Pasalan is an ancient god that bridges this world and the netherworld.
• Power Nullifier: Papalan Pasalan's attacks are guaranteed to Curse anything they hit.
• Rent-a-Zilla: While the focus of Battle Cats isn't on giant monsters, the Nekolugas are kaiju-sized, cat-like monstrosities with bizarre and unexplained powers.
• Scratch Damage: Balalan Pasalan, as well as its True Form Piccolan Pasalan, has one of the lowest attack stats of any Cat. In fact, it has the lowest damage of any Uber in the game, dealing a pitiful 187 damage at Level 30.
• Shout-Out: All of their true forms are references to popular Japanese TV shows or video games.
  • Ultralan Pasalan tried to reinvent himself as that famous masked hero.
  • E. Kubilan Pasalan is a mighty wrestler who sharpened his skills by fighting on the streets.
  • Lufalan Pasalan resembles a certain straw-hatted pirate.
  • Is Assassinlan Pasalan a cat? Or is he an overly dramatic assassin of some kind?
  • Piccolan Pasalan bears an uncanny resemblance to Sachiel.
  • Shishilan Pasalan resembles one form of another god that bridges life and death.
  • Mystican Pasalan takes a page from the hero of Dragon Quest V when it come to his choice of clothes.
  • Sukelan Kakulan resembles Mitsuemon, the false identity of Tokugawa Mitsukuni from the long-running Jidaigeki Mito Komon. His name comes from Mitsukuni's retainers, Suke-san and Kaku-san.
  • Ragelan Pasalan calls to mind a young would-be Hunter who pushed himself to his limit.
• Splash Damage Abuse:
  • Kubilan Pasalan can fire an extremely long shockwave that knocks back units. In his true form, the knockback is replaced with criticals, letting him shred tons of metals at once.
  • Bikinilan Pasalan creates a long-lasting Surge attack in a random area whenever she attacks.
• Status Effects: They specialize in these.
  • Nekoluga is guaranteed to knock back (and freeze in his true form) all non-Metal enemies.
  • Kubiluga knocks back any non-metals he hits, either with his attack or with his shockwave.
  • Asiluga is guaranteed to slow anything he hits.
  • Balaluga will always freeze (and weaken in his true form) anything he hits.
  • Papaluga is guaranteed to Curse non-Metals.
• Squishy Wizard: Almost all of the Nekolugas have terrible survivability, so the support-oriented ones fall into this.
• Support Party Member: Balaluga, Kubiluga and Asiluga stand out for being support-based, giving up any notion of offensive power for long-distance utility and disabling abilities. Nekoluga, Papaluga, Furiluga, and Kaoluga are in the middle (having fairly high offensive power and disabling ability), while Tecoluga, Togeluga, Nobiluga, and Summerluga are dedicated purely to offense.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Tecoluga's evolved and true form delivers some of the hardest-hitting attacks in the game at an extremely long range and with a high crit chance, but can only hit a single target at a time.

Sengoku Wargods Vajiras

Top row, left to right: Sanada Yukimura, Maeda Keiji, Date Masamune Shiro Amakusa and Imagawa Yoshimoto. Bottom row, left to right: Hattori Hanzo, Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin and Narita Kaihime.

An Uber set with units based off of legendary figures in Japanese history. All of them are effective against Black enemies.

Includes Sanada Yukimura, Maeda Keiji, Oda Nobunaga, Date Masamune, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Narita Kaihime, Shiro Amakusa, Hattori Hanzo, and Musashi Miyamoto.

---

• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Yoshimoto can attack foes from very far away, but not those too close to him.
• BFS: Shingen uses a giant sword as his weapon in his normal and evolved forms.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: It's implied that Masamune, Shingen, and Kenshin are possessed by the power of the legendary artifact that made them this way, causing them to become destructive and violent. Kenshin's true form even says that she's been completely consumed by corruption.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Shingen delivers enormous damage from long range and has incredible bulk (especially in his true form), but can only attack Black enemies, Aliens, and the enemy base. Downplayed by his Talents and Ultra Talents, which allow him to target everything except Floating, Relic and Metal enemies.
• Critical Hit: Narita Kaihime has the Savage Blow ability, which in her case gives her a 15% chance (25% in True Form) to deal tripled damage on attack. Unlike true crits, however, it does not affect metal enemies.
• Critical Status Buff: Keiji doubles his damage when his HP is at 30%. His True Form, Immortal Keiji, can do so at 50% HP instead.
• Death from Above: Yoshimoto calls down a barrage of golden lasers to attack.
• Demon King Nobunaga: Guess who has the most monstrous-looking appearance?
• Eye Beams: Kenshin attacks with a red laser from her vehicle's eye.
• Fragile Speedster: Yukimura is incredibly fast (his True Form actually has the second fastest speed in the game tied with Express Cat) and delivers incredibly high burst damage (especially to black enemies), but has rather low HP and gets knocked back easily.
• Improbable Weapon User: Keiji uses an oversized tobacco pipe to attack. His true form uses a tree.
• Merger of Souls: Oda Nobunaga is the manifestation of the grudges of many souls (and one cat).
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Shingen has four arms and is undoubtedly dangerous (if you happen to be a Black or Alien enemy).
• No-Sell: Immortal Keiji is one of an elite few units that can ignore Shockwaves.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Immortal Kenshin is stated to have lost all emotion but the urge to destroy everything.
• Shout-Out: They are all references to legendary Japanese generals.
• Wolverine Claws: Yukimura attacks with long claws.

Cyber Academy Galaxy Gals

Clockwise from top left: Lilin, Twinstars, Thundia, Coppermine, Kai, Huntress Terun, Windy, Kuu, Kalisa and Myrcia.

An Uber set with a theme of high-tech Animesque Stripperific Magical Girl fighters from space.

Includes Kalisa, Thundia, Windy, Coppermine, Kuu, Kai, the Twinstars, Myrcia, Lilin, Huntress Terun, Pegasa, and Headmistress Jeanne.^note Almost all of the girls have seasonal variants, featuring Tropical Kalisa, Spooky Thundia, Hallowindy, Snow Angel Twinstars, First-Love Myrcia, and Night Beach Lilin. Some have two, such as with Kai (Frosty Kai and Seashore Kai), Kuu (Santa Kuu and Waverider Kuu) and Coppermine (Seabreeze Coppermine and Holy Coppermine).

---

• Animesque: Possibly the closest thing the game has to full-blown anime.
• Badass Adorable: While they look like cute anime girls, they are also superpowered space fighters that can evolve into full-fledged goddesses.
• BFS: Kalisa's weapon is a cursed sword almost as big as she is.
• Blow You Away: Windy uses superpowered gusts of air to attack.
• Close-Range Combatant:
  • Kalisa deals incredible damage, but at a range short enough to let most enemies make mincemeat out of her. Her True Form alleviates this somewhat by giving her slightly longer range.
  • Kai is an even bigger example of this: her True Form grants a massive increase to health and attack, but she has the lowest range of any unit in the set.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: Kai is an airheaded, clumsy girl who literally moves by bouncing around and falls for anyone that is nice to her.
• Cyborg: All of them except Kalisa seem to be fused with some kind of machinery.
• Death from Above: Coppermine attacks by sending a small saucer above her foe, which fires down a large beam.
• Delicate and Sickly: Pegasa is frail to the point of being unable to get out of her hover-chair, but is still a capable fighter using her remote Attack Drones.
• Disproportionate Retribution: This seems to be Kalisa's favorite thing to do to those who annoy her. She almost blew up her school on the first day of class, and banished her principal to the netherworld the moment she graduated. Presumably during this time, anybody that confessed their love to her found themselves quickly graduated to the next world.
• The Dividual: The Twinstars are two girls, but are treated as one unit.
• Energy Weapon: Kai's attack has her fire a point-blank laser that deals extremely high damage. Coppermine also attacks by calling in a massive laser from the sky.
• Hitbox Dissonance: Windy's attack animation consists of her charging up, then firing a blast of wind towards her enemies, yet her actual attack range is somewhere around the tip of her vacuum; the actual blast from the animation itself doesn't do anything. This is only an issue with any of her forms before Ultra Form, however, as in her Ultra Form, the attack animation does finally match up with her attack range.
• Hot-Blooded: With a penchant for verbal abuse and tendency to smash anybody that doubts her strength, Kuu fits the bill.
• Last Chance Hitpoint: Kai has the ability to survive one lethal strike. Considering that she usually fights on the frontlines, it won't really be helping her too much.
• Monkey King Lite: Kuu is basically a female Sun Wukong, with a giant staff that can grow even bigger, a Hot-Blooded attitude, and riding on a cloud.
• Megaton Punch: Myrcia attacks by summoning a giant holographic fist with her gauntlets, which she slams into her enemies.
• Noblewoman's Laugh: Myrcia does this every time she finishes an attack. It's borderline audible.
• No-Sell: Divine Kuu is immune to Weaken and Divine Kai is immune to Knockback. Myrcia, however, can become totally immune to colorless damage for 2 seconds if she triggers her dodge ability.
• Physical God: All of their true forms affix them with the "Divine" title. ^note  The exception was Kalisa, who, before v6.6, was named Kalisa Type χχ when she was first introduced.Even the Twinstars are stated to be demigods.
• Shout-Out: All of them except Kalisa and the Twinstars are references to Japanese myths, with Kuu, Kai and Coppermine being references to Journey to the West, while Thundia and Windy are references to Japanese Gods (specifically, Raijin and Fujin). Kalisa, on the other hand, greatly resembles Hatsune Miku.
• Stripperific: The most prominent example in the game, with their outfits gradually getting more skimpy as they level up with the exception of the Twinstars and Lilin, to an extent. Lampshaded by Divine Thundia's encyclopedia entry.
  When you have the body of a goddess, it's hard to find clothes that fit.
• Shock and Awe: Thundia fires enormous lightning bolts to attack.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Myrcia triggers a small shockwave whenever she lands her second hit.
• Token Evil Teammate: Compared to the other Galaxy Gals who range from outright friendly at best to hotheadedly aggressive at worst, Lilin is far more malicious. She experimented on her own classmates to synthesize an elixir to enslave demons, and her evolved form's description says that she made a pact with the Aku to enslave the entire Academy. To a lesser extent, Kalisa is also this, as she has a penchant for inflicting fatal (or potentially worse) punishment on anyone that slightly bothers her or, if her Tropical version is to be believed, for no real reason.
• Token Mini-Moe: The Twinstars, being the youngest-looking of the bunch.
• The Stoic: Coppermine apparently doesn't smile that often, unless she's faced with a cat.

Lords of Destruction: Dragon Emperors

Clockwise from top left: Hevijak the Wicked, Raiden, Ganglion, Megidora, Dioramos, Sodom, Sea Serpent Daliasan, Kamukura, Vars and Relentless Gladios.

An Uber set with a theme of incredibly powerful god-dragons.

Includes Megidora, Sodom, Raiden, Vars, Kamukura, Dioramos, Ganglion, Relentless Gladios, Hevijak the Wicked, Sea Serpent Daliasan, and High Lord Babel.^note Vars and Kamukura have seasonal variants in the form of Skull Rider Vars and Blooming Kamukura.

---

• Anti-Armor: Hevijak has a 50% chance to instantly destroy Aku Shields.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Ganglion has a range in which he can't attack nearby foes, although it's admittedly quite small. Daliasan has a larger one.
• Big Creepy-Crawlies: Gladios resembles a massive rhinoceros beetle.
• Blown Across the Room: Most of the units in the set specialize in knocking enemies back. Raiden always knocks back Red enemies, while Megidora and Sodom, Kamukura, Dioramos, and Vars have a chance to knock back Floating, Red, Angel, and Black enemies, respectively. Sodom and Dioramos' True Forms increase the chance to do so up to 100%, while Dioramos' Ultra Form not only gives him two extra attacks in his attack animation that can allow him to knock back his enemies more than once, he can also inflict this against Aliens too.
• Dig Attack: Sodom has an interesting variation. He sends his spiked tail underground, which then erupts from under a foe to deal damage.
• Dragon Rider: Vars isn't the name of the dragon, but of the cat knight riding it.
• Emotion Bomb: God-Emperor Dioramos's attacks are fueled by the hate of his enemies.
• Energy Weapon: Ganglion's attack consists of him charging and firing a deadly laser.
• Gatling Good: Raiden's primary weapons are two arm-mounted chainguns, which can easily knock around Red enemies.
• Instant Runes: Ganglion creates these both to hover and to fire its attacks.
• Making a Splash: Kamukura attacks with a massive pillar of water.
• Mighty Glacier: Sodom is incredibly slow, but he hits hard. Dioramos also qualifies.
• No-Sell:
  • Sodom and Daliasan are immune to enemy knockback.
  • Dioramos is immune to enemy slows.
• Odd Name Out: Ganglion is the only one among them that doesn't have the title "God-Emperor" in his true form.
• Person of Mass Destruction: All of them are extremely dangerous and have potentially world-destroying powers.
• Physical God: If their true forms all having the prefix "God-Emperor" wasn't obvious enough.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking: Ganglion was the first Dragon Emperor and the founder of the Dragon Dynasty, and is among the most powerful of them.
• Shock and Awe: Megidora's attack animation in his evolved/true forms has him fire an electric blast.
• Shout-Out: Dioramos resembles Destoroyah, and Kamukura also resembles Shenron. His evolved form even has Dragon Balls floating around him! Dioramos also references one of PONOS’ old games of the same name.
• Stronger with Age: Ganglion in particular has lived for thousands of years, gathering more power all the while.
• Wave-Motion Gun: Dioramos' attack is depicted as such. Raiden also uses a smaller one as its secondary weapon.
• Weapon of X-Slaying: Unlike the others, Raiden isn't a dragon nor a dragon rider like Vars, instead being an ancient superweapon specifically built to defeat the other dragons.

Ancient Heroes: Ultra Souls

From left to right: Kintaro, Urashima Taro, Sarukani, Princess Kaguya, Momotaro, Kachi-Kachi, Kasa Jizo, Issun Boshi, The Grateful Crane and Shitakiri Sparrow.

An Uber set consisting of characters based off of Japanese myths. They all have spammable normal forms and heavy-duty evolved/true forms, and are all effective against Angels.

Includes Kasa Jizo, Princess Kaguya, Urashima Taro, Momotaro, The Grateful Crane, Kachi-Kachi, Sarukani, Kintaro, Shitakiri Sparrow, Issun Boshi, and Ushiwakamaru.^note Princess Kaguya has a seasonal variant in the form of Kaguya of the Coast.

---

• Alpha Strike: The Peach Angels attack by having the cats riding it pull out every weapon they have and fire them simultaneously.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Kintaro, being the only long distance attacker in the Ultra Souls.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Super Galaxy Cosmo's glorious, drawn-out, 11-second long attack animation which looks cool as hell but is liable to make him miss his attack.
• Combining Mecha: Kinrangers Roboforce, as the name indicates, consists of several vehicular parts that combine to form a huge cannon for their attack.
• Converging-Stream Weapon: The Death Moon fires one to attack, much like the weapon it's based on.
• Cool Car: The Peach Angels ride around in one. It gets colored in and receives a sweet flame decal in its True Form.
  "Ends may not justify the means, but they definitely justify owning a sweet ride."
• Critical Hit: Kintaro can deal triple-damage Savage Blows at a 10% rate. His evolved form bumps this up to 20%.
• Edible Ammunition: Sarukani attacks by throwing persimmons.
• Energy Weapon: The Death Moon fires an enormous laser that causes the ground to erupt into bamboo shoots.
• Iaijutsu Practitioner: Momotaro throws his fans in the air to distract foes before striking with a lightning-quick draw, slash, and sheath.
• Improvised Weapon: Kaguya uses a bamboo shoot as a spear. Urashima Taro also uses a fishing rod as a flail.
• Kamehame Hadouken: Super Galaxy Cosmo fires a crane-shaped one as his attack.
• Magikarp Power: Zig-zagged. All the units in this category gain a boost in stats and price in their Evolved/True Forms, but the Normal Forms can sometimes be just as, or even more, effective then their stronger versions due to the ability to be spammed.
• Ninja Run: Super Galaxy Cosmo's method of moving.
• Nuke 'em: Jizo's Moving Castle can fire a massive blast that gives the appearance of this.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Their unevolved forms are the size of normal cats, but are still incredibly strong.
• Playing with Fire: All of Kachi-Kachi's forms have this as their means of attack.
• Shout-Out: All of their concepts date back to ancient Japanese folk tales. Their evolved forms generally draw inspiration from various animes and media.
• Simple, yet Awesome: Kasa Jizo's first form. Its attack animation? The statue on the cat's back shoots the enemy with a gun a few times. Its ability? 3 times damage against Black and Angel enemies. Its price and cooldown? $750 in Chapter 2 prices, and 13 to 4 seconds. This combination makes a dangerously powerful weapon against Angels and Blacks which, while nothing of major note by itself, is devastating when spammed.
• The Power of Rock: The Rock Revengers' entire shtick. It's apparently enough to incur colossal damage to any Zombie/Angel in their way.
• Rod And Reel Repurposed: Urashima Taro's first form uses his fishing rod as a weapon by flinging it to his enemies to deal damage to them. He doesn't do this in his Evolved and True Form.
• Winged Humanoid: Super Galaxy Cosmo has a pair of prominent wings resembling those of a crane.

Justice Strikes Back: Dark Heroes

An Uber set revolving around Anti-Hero characters, with Dark Is Not Evil heavily in effect. All of them are effective against Aliens, with their type effectiveness changing with their forms.

Includes Akira, Mekako Saionji, Catman, The White Rabbit, Warlock and Pierre, Hayabusa, Detective Vigler, Sharpshooter Saki, White Knight Cyclops, Thunder Jack, and Doktor Heaven.^note Warlock, The White Rabbit, and Sharpshooter Saki have seasonal variants, in the form of Bunny and Canard, Midsummer Rabbit, and Squirtgun Saki, respectively.

---

• Anti-Structure: Warlock and Pierre has the Base Destroyer ability, which allows it to deal 4x damage to enemy bases. Combined with his very high base damage and he can easily take down any base in just a few hits.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Hayabusa and Sharpshooter Saki have one.
• Badass Cape: Catman sports a magnificent one that he actually uses to disappear for his attacks.
• Bilingual Bonus: When Oni Hayabusa attacks, his slashes explode into the Japanese kanji for "slash" (斬)
• Blade Spam: Both of Hayabusa's forms attack with a rapid barrage of slashes condensed into two seconds.
• Child Mage: The child consisting of one half of Warlock and Pierre managed to summon and enslave a Humanoid Abomination to do his bidding.
• The Corruption: Oni Hayabusa's transformation was caused by a strange power in his chest threatening to consume him.
• Cosplay Otaku Girl: White Rabbit insists on cosplaying during every heist. However, she's never failed a mission.
• Crippling Overspecialization:
  • Warlock and Pierre has good range, enormous HP and damage, and the ability to deal quadruple damage to the enemy base (Normal) or harvest doubled money from enemies (Evolved). However, he only attacks Alien/Floating (Alien/Angel in evolved form) enemies and the enemy base. His True Form resists nearly every debuff and has even more power, yet now only attacks Aliens and the enemy base.
    • Bunny and Canard, the Easter version of Warlock and Pierre, does massive damage (without the massive damage ability,) but only attacks Red/Black units. Its Evolved Form, Disciple Psychoduck, only attacks Red/Zombie, and trades its resistances to freeze and slow for the Zombie Killer ability.
  • Sharpshooter Saki has the highest DPS of any unit with an Arbitrary Weapon Range, but can only attack Red and Aliens (Zombies and Alien in evolved form). Her Summer variant instead targets Floating and Black, or Floating and Angel in evolved form.
• Critical Hit Class: Hayabusa's relatively high 30% crit rate, long range, and fast attacks make him one of the best metal killers you can get.
• Critical Status Buff: Shadow Akira can increase his damage by 50% when at half HP.
• Dark Is Not Evil: While they may be anti-heroes at best and some even use demonic powers, they are nevertheless on your side. Considering the Cats' Villain Protagonist tendencies, this could fall into the other trope as well.
• Death from Above: Mekako's true form attacks by launching a giant rocket that crashes back down onto foes.
• Discard and Draw: Unlike most Ubers, the Evolved and True Forms of the Dark Heroes don’t improve on the base form but instead make them a different uber entirely, usually by changing their target traits and/or their abilities, which you can switch into by changing them into their Basic/Evolved/True Forms, effectively making them multiple ubers in one unit.
• Dungeon Bypass: Warlock and Pierre has the normally enemy-exclusive Base Destroyer ability, which quadruples his damage against enemy bases. If the level doesn't have a defined boss (which makes it impossible to One-Hit Kill the base), a small group of them can demolish the enemy castle before any threatening enemies even have a chance to show up.
• Guns Akimbo: The White Rabbit (and her Evolved and True forms) dual wields machine pistols.
• He Who Fights Monsters: Dark Catman became a monster to fight the terrors of the night. Still weak to autograph requests from old ladies.
• Humongous Mecha: All forms of Mekako Saionji use a giant robot to attack.
• Laser Blade: Akira's true form, Inferno Akira, uses these to attack.
• Last Chance Hitpoint: Mekako's first form can survive one lethal strike.
• Master of None: Like the rest of the Ubers in the set, Cyclops is a very versatile unit, being able to either freeze Alien and Aku enemies and pierce shields, or be strong against them and immune to waves. However, his terrible stats render him subpar in almost all of these roles.
• Money Multiplier: Warlock and Pierre's evolved form, Dark Merchant Babil, gets doubled money on any enemy kills.
• Multiform Balance: Their normal, Evolved, and True Forms usually all have different abilities that aren't any better or worse, but just target different enemies.
• Nerf Arm: Squirtgun Saki uses a water pistol as a weapon, but it's just as dangerous as her original variant's weapon... if you happen to be a Floating or Black/Angel enemy.
• No-Sell: Akira resists Weaken, while Inferno Akira is immune to Shockwaves. Mad Doctor Klay, on the other hand, is immune to every debuff except Warp and Curse. And even then, his talents grant him immunities to these 2 status effects alongside giving him Wave immunity for goodness sake.
• Power at a Price: Oni Hayabusa gains increased strength in exchange for the mysterious power in his chest beginning to consume him.
• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Thunder Jack attacks by rapidly throwing electrically-charged punches.
• Shout-Out: The majority of the characters have some kind of reference woven into them. The most obvious ones are Catman and Warlock and Pierre's True Form, Mad Doctor Klay.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Detective Vigler can create shockwaves with every attack he lands.
• This Is a Drill: Akira uses a drill built into his arm.

The Almighties: The Majestic Zeus

An Uber set with units based off of gods from various religions.

Includes Thunder God Zeus, Anubis the Protector, Radiant Aphrodite, Shining Amaterasu, Splendid Ganesha, Wrathful Poseidon, Empress Chronos, Hades the Punisher, Lucifer the Fallen, Lightmother Aset, and Gaia the Creator.^note Aphrodite and Empress Chronos have seasonal variants in the form Sweet Aphrodite and Chronos the Bride, respectively.

---

• Arbitrary Weapon Range: By virtue of having the Long-Distance ability, Aphrodite, Ganesha, Chronos, and Lucifer have a blindspot where their attacks won't hit anything inside it.
• Bolt of Divine Retribution: Zeus attacks with a huge lightning bolt from the skies.
• Critical Status Buff: Ganesha can boost his damage by 50% when at 80% HP.
• Death from Above: Aphrodite uses her bow to fire a barrage of arrows into the air, which then comes crashing down on her foes.
• Gender Bender: Chronos is usually depicted as a male titan of time. Battle Cats' Chronos is described as a titaness.
• Gold and White Are Divine: They all feature copious amounts of Gold incorporated in their designs.
• Megaton Punch: Ganesha attacks by dropping an enormous golden fist on his target.
• No-Sell: Anubis is unharmed by Wave Attacks. He also resists slows.
• Physical God: Well, what did you expect?
• Stone Wall: Hades has lower attack power than most other tank Ubers, but the highest HP of them all.
• The Power of the Sun: Ameterasu, being a sun goddess, uses her magic mirror (which is really more of a lens) to focus sunlight into devastating rays.
• Shout-Out: All of them reference gods from various religions (Greek, Egyptian, Shinto, and Hindu).
• Time Master: Chronos, obviously. She can freeze any enemies with traits, and she's immune to it herself.

Frontline Assault: Iron Legion

Clockwise from top: Mighty Kat-A-Pult, Mighty Bomburr, Mighty Carrowsell, Mighty Thermae D-Lux, Mighty Deth-Troy-R, Mighty Rekon Korps, Mighty Drednot, Mighty Sphinx Korps and Mighty Aethur Ltd.

An Uber set with a theme of heavy-duty war machines. They are all effective against Zombies, and share a theme of starting off as primitive weapons before evolving into massive metal goliaths.

Includes Mighty Kat-a-Pult, Mighty Drednot, Mighty Bomburr, Mighty Rekon Corps, Mighty Thermae D-Lux, Mighty Aethur Ltd., Mighty Deth-Troy-R, Mighty Carrowsell, Mighty Sphinx Korps, and Mighty Kristul Muu.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Curse completely disables Mighty Rekon Korps by nullifying its target traits. If it gets cursed while it's in the middle of an attack, that gigantic thermonuclear blast will do absolutely nothing. However, in its True Form, it can get Curse Immunity as a Talent to cover this weakness.
• Aliens Steal Cattle: Extraterrestrial Envanz is shown abducting a hapless cat dressed in a cow costume. During its attack animation, the cat briefly gets dropped on the ground... only to get blasted by a laser and receive an Ash Face. Its description also references the real-life version of the phenomenon, where aliens supposedly dissected and mutilated cattle.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Mighty Kat-a-Pult can't attack enemies which are too close, but gains Splash Damage in exchange.
• BFG: The CAT-9 Siege Engine uses a massive cannon.
• Big Eater: Their true forms all feature a fat cat somewhere who's constantly eating rice, even when the machine is in the process of attacking.
• Black Helicopter: Atlantis Logistix consists of a pair of these transporting a mysterious monolith.
• Butt-Monkey: In almost all of their first forms, two Cats (one with an eyepatch, and one with a mustache) are forced to do grunt work to keep the machine going — moving the wheels of Mighty Kat-a-Pult, rowing Mighty Drednot, keeping Mighty Bomburr in the air via pedal power, running inside Mighty Rekon Korps and on top of Mighty Deth-Troy-R to move them, and shoveling wood into the fire of Mighty Thermae D-Lux. Their fortunes change when the units evolve, however; the two Cats seem to become high-ranking members of the team in each one.
• Chicken Walker: Siege Walker Diabolosa moves on two giant mechanical legs, which bend like this.
• Cool Boat: The B.C.S. Lionheart is a massive armored ship with a huge drill that it can fire out.
• Cool Plane: The NEK-0 Sky Fortress, a huge, heavily armed gunship that drops equally huge bombs.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Mighty Aethur Ltd. can deliver insane damage to Zombie enemies for a cheap price and with a fast recharge time for an Uber, but it's utterly useless against all other types of enemies. Even some Super Rares have better general power than it, while costing much less and recharging much faster.
• Death from Above: The Mighty Bomburr drops bombs from the sky, and Orbital Platform Armageddon uses an all-out orbital strike. Extraterrestrial Envanz also fires a weaker laser from the sky to attack.
• Flying Saucer: Extraterrestrial Envanz, the evolved form of Mighty Carrowsell, is a giant flying saucer mothership piloted by cats and surrounded by many smaller UFOs.
• Fun with Acronyms: The organization's name abbreviates to "F.A.I.L.". Perhaps to avoid this, their true forms all fly flags with the Japanese abbreviation of their name, "R.A.I.W.".
• Funny Background Event: All of their evolved forms have a number of their crew fooling around in the background, including at least one cat riding the vehicle who is in the middle of cooking something or doing laundry, even the Orbital Platform Armageddon which is a space station. B.C.S. Lionheart in particular has a cat threatening another cat with a handgun at regular intervals. The True Forms are mostly the same, but also add in a fat cat eating rice.
• Intrepid Merchant: Mighty Aethur Ltd. is staffed by a crew of travelling merchants, transporting a mysterious artifact.
• Kill Sat: The Orbital Platform Armageddon delivers a devastating thermonuclear strike to obliterate traited foes. In a twist, the platform partially teleports itself to the battlefield to deliver its blast every time it attacks.
• Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Siege Walker Diabolosa attacks by charging up and firing a devastating railgun.
• Mighty Glacier: Almost all of the units in the set are slow to move, attack, and recharge, but usually boast high HP, high attack, or both. The main exceptions are Mighty Aethur Ltd., which is a purely anti-zombie Glass Cannon with a quick recharge, and Mighty Sphinx Korps, which is a fast Stone Wall.
• Promoted to Playable: The mining machines in Subterra Guardians' attack animation have been added to the game as individual units, in the Grandon Mining Corps subset.
• Spin Attack: To attack, Mighty Carrowsell rushes forwards while spinning, causing the blades on the sides of the carousel to slice apart enemies,
• Stone Wall: Mighty Sphinx Korps packs high HP and resistance against three traits (Zombies, Red, and Metal), along with high speed to quickly get to the front lines. This comes at the cost of having terrible damage output for its range.
• Summon Bigger Fish: Orbital Platform Armageddon appears to be a single cat at first...who, if threatened, will call in a massive batttlestation through a portal to nuke his target. The same goes with Subterra Guardians, which is just a single Cat with a metal detector...which goes off, and several mining machines burst out of the ground while he runs around in panic.
• Tank Goodness: The CAT-9 Siege Engine is a massive, heavily armored tank.
• This Is a Drill: The B.C.S. Lionheart attacks with a massive retractable drill.
• Weaksauce Weakness: The Orbital Platform Armageddon deals immense damage at long range rather quickly, but cannot harm traitless enemies.
• You Nuke 'Em: Orbital Platform Armageddon delivers a devastating thermonuclear strike to obliterate traited enemies.

Girls and Monsters: Angels of Terror

Their Evolved forms, from left to right: Himeyuri Ninetails, Pharaoh Reika, Illusory Guardian Vega, Swashbuckler Kanna, Sea Mistress Ruri, Wolf Princess Deale, Gourmand Ninja Girl Tomoe and Verbena the Bride.

An Uber set consisting of Cute Monster Girl units from a cancelled PONOS game, Girls Mons. They all use Multi-Hit attacks.

Includes Trickster Himeyuri, Sea Maiden Ruri, Queen Reika, Wolfchild Deale, Graveflower Verbena, Adventurer Kanna, Spectral Goth Vega, Ninja Girl Tomoe, and Kyosaka Nanaho.

---

• Bishōnen Line: Their normal forms all look like monsters (aside from Kanna and Tomoe), while their more powerful evolved and True Forms are completely humanoid.
• Chainmail Bikini: Despite being an explorer, Adventurer Kanna has her belly exposed throughout all of her forms.
• Critical Hit: Verbena can perform these on all three of her attacks, greatly increasing the chance that at least one will be critical.
• Funny Background Event: In her evolved form, Vega is surrounded by three cats holding harps... except for one of them, which is inexplicably holding a magnet. During her attack animation, two of the cats play their harps, while the last instead starts swiping at its magnet and sweating.
• Gamer Chick: Ruri's Evolved Form description mentions how despite finally gaining legs, all she wants to do now is play video games. Meanwhile, her True Form description makes a mention about how the undersea palace that she built for her crush will, until he grows gills, serve as her "top-class gamer den".
• NEET: Ruri is described as a mermaid NEET from the distant seas.
• Spam Attack: All of them attack twice or more in a single animation in exchange for lower damage, which gives their abilities a greater activation chance. Most of them only attack three times at maximum, but Kanna creates a level 2 Surge with her first attack, so she can potentially land 5 hits on a single enemy.
• Stripperific: For someone who is an adventurer, Kanna's attire doesn't really fit that considering that it consists of what appears to be a bikini and shorts (panties in her Evolved Form).
• Token Human: Amongst all of the Ubers in the set, which consists of mostly Cute Monster Girls, some of which are a Little Bit Beastly, Kanna and Tomoe are normal humans.

Nature's Guardians: Elemental Pixies

An Uber set with a theme of Moe Anthropomorphism personifications of cosmic phenomena. All of them are spammable in their first forms and strong attackers in their evolved forms, and all of them are extremely strong against Aliens and Star-Aliens.

Includes Bora, Mizli, Aer, Voli, Gravi, Yamii, Bliza, Tekachi and Lumina.

---

• Ambiguous Gender: Unlike most Ubers, their genders are not specified.
• Anti-Armor: All of their attacks are guaranteed to shred right through barriers in a single hit.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Aer uses long-distance attacks with a blind spot.
• Badass Adorable: Upon first appearance, they appear to be adorable little pixies akin to Pokémon. However, they are embodiments of cosmic power, are strong enough to destroy the planet, and are among the few units able to easily defeat the Star-Aliens that most other units struggle with.
• Blow You Away: Aer attacks with massive tornadoes powerful enough to blast apart mountains.
• Casting a Shadow: Yamii uses darkness to attack, and is specifically themed around black holes.
• Crippling Overspecialization: One trait nearly all of them share is being quite weak against non-Alien enemies, compared to other Ubers in terms of general use.
• Dishing Out Dirt: Gravi commands the latent energies of meteorites and asteroids to smash threats to the Cats.
• Elemental Embodiment: All of them represent elemental forces of the cosmos, brought to life.
• Extra-ore-dinary: Tekachi attacks by manifesting giant metal cubes and dropping them on enemies.
• An Ice Person: Bliza attacks with ice and is said to freeze all matter around it.
• Magic Staff: All of them gain (somewhat oversized) magic staves in their True Forms.
• Magikarp Power: Zig-Zagged; their first forms are cheaper and faster to produce, while the evolved forms are heavy hitters. However, the evolved forms are almost always more useful, except in Cats of the Cosmos restriction stages where units that cost more than 1200 are banned.
• Making a Splash: Mizli attacks with enormous blasts of water strong enough to split planets.
• Moe Anthropomorphism: They are cosmic forces given form as cute pixies.
• Nature Spirit: More in the "cosmic phenomena" sense of nature than earthly nature.
• No-Sell:
  • They are immune to the Warp ability most Star-Aliens have. In addition, their evolved forms can instantly break barriers regardless of their strength.
  • Gravi is immune to Wave attacks.
  • Bliza is immune to slow.
  • Yamii's True Form gives it the Wave Blocker ability, allowing it to not only ignore Wave Attacks, but also protect its allies from them too.
  • Tekachi has a small chance to negate attacks from Floating, Alien or Angel enemies.
• Person of Mass Destruction: Don't let their cute appearances fool you, all of them have been stated to be powerful enough to destroy the planet if they really wanted to.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: The Pixies are downright tiny compared to most other Ubers, yet possess the same power level and can easily destroy the Star-Aliens.
• Playing with Fire: Bora uses explosive fireballs to attack.
• The Power of the Sun: Bora attacks with fireballs which hold the full power of a burning sun.
• Shock and Awe: Voli uses lightning blasts said to rend the skies themselves.
• Splash Damage: Gravi's attacks are guaranteed to create a wave attack with every hit.

Limited Time Pools (Uberfest, Epicfest, "Busters" Sets)

Uber Pools that only show up every once in a while. Uberfest and Epicfest give a chance at all Ubers, while "Busters" Sets give a chance at Ubers based around the theme it has (such as Ubers that are able to deal with a specific trait, the Wave ability, or Colossus sub-traited enemies). Each of them have their own unique ubers, however.

Includes:

Uberfest: Baby Gao, Miko Mitama, D'Artanyan, Kasli the Scourge, Baby Garu, Iz the Dancer, Child of Destiny Phono, and Daybreaker Izanagi.

Epicfest: Shadow Gao, Dark Mitama, D'Arktanyan, Kasli the Bane, Dark Aegis Garu, Iz the Dancer of Grief, and King of Doom Phono.

Other Pools: Pai-Pai (Red Busters), Strike Unit R.E.I. (Air Busters), Sakura Sonic (Metal Busters), Hell Warden Emma (Wave Busters), and Goddess of Light Sirius (Colossus Busters).

---

• An Ice Person: Ice crystals will appear whenever Shadow Gao strikes a foe. Fittingly enough, he also freezes White foes.
• Badass Adorable: All the Uberfest units in their first forms.
• Crippling Overspecialization: The Ubers from the various "Busters" banners can crush any enemy that they can line up a weakness against, but most of them are rather poor outside of that niche.
• Cherry Blossom Girl: Sakura, name aside, seems to have a cherry blossom motif. She has cherry petals in her hair, her sword glows pink gains cherry-blossom like extensions when she attacks, and her slash itself releases glowing cherry petals. Her official animation even has her relaxing under a cherry tree.
• Cleavage Window: Sirius' dress-like armor has a cut at the top of it that shows off her cleavage.
• Critical Hit: Gao can do these, albeit at a rather low 10% rate. Sakura can also crit at a 5% rate.
• Critical Status Buff: D'arktanyan and Iz the Dancer can increase their high damage even more at low health.
• Fembot: Strike Unit R.E.I. is one, although it's not initially apparent.
• Flash Step: Sakura attacks by teleporting a short distance to her target, unleashing a lightning-quick slash, and dashing back.
• Glass Cannon:
  • D'artanyan, especially in his evolved form. His range is shorter than the other Uberfest-exclusive Cats, he has no defensive abilities against traited enemies like Gao or Mitama, and his fast movement speed makes him likely to run into danger. However, his damage against traited enemies is much higher than the others' to compensate, and his Long Distance attacks let him hit more enemies with that damage.
  • Iz the Dancer is an even more extreme example. Her range is even shorter than D'artanyan's, with a small knockback count giving her bad survivability despite her high HP, but she can deal even more damage to traited enemies when her Strengthen activates.
• God of Light: Sirius has the title of Goddess of Light, which appears in both her unevolved form's name and in all of her form's descriptions, and Goddess of Sunrise, as seen in her evolved form's name. Both of her descriptions also mention her tendency to smite down and cast judgement on even the slightest of evils.
• Joshikousei: Sakura Sonic is described as "an average schoolgirl" who is constantly on her cell phone, enjoys bubble tea and likes vanquishing demons. Fittingly enough, her first form has her in a school uniform.
• Magikarp Power: Like the Ultra Souls, most of the Uberfest Ubers zig-zag this: they have spammable normal forms and powerful evolved forms, and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses.
• Master of All: All of the Uberfest Ubers have devastating effects against any traited enemies, making them incredibly versatile against pretty much anything given that traited foes far outnumber Traitless ones. In the Epicfest pool, they instead specialize in destroying Traitless foes...with the exception of Kasli the Bane and King of Doom Phono, whose abilities are effective against everything.
• Miko: Miko Mitama, of course.
• Lovable Coward: Baby Gao is apparently a crybaby, attributed to his young age.
• No-Sell:
  • Mighty Lord Gao is immune to Shockwaves, while Diabolic Gao is additionally immune to Knockback.
  • Miko Mitama, Dark Mitama, and Iz the Dancer are immune to almost all debuffs, including Wave Attacks.
  • D'Artanyan and D'Arktanyan are immune to Shockwaves and Warping.
  • Kasli the Scourge is immune to Waves, Curse, Weaken and Warp, while Kasli the Bane adds in immunity to Surges.
  • Both forms of Garu are immune to Waves.
  • Both forms of Iz are immune to all negative effects, as is Sirius.
  • Phono's evolved form is immune to Waves and Surges, while King of Doom Phono adds in Curse Immunity.
  • Pai-Pai is immune to Weaken.
  • R.E.I. is immune to Slow.
  • Sakura is immune to Weaken and Slow.
  • Emma is able to block wave attacks, along with her True Form being immune to Warp and Freeze.
• Playing with Fire: Mitama attacks with a cat-shaped burst of flame. Shadow Mitama does this with a blue flame instead.
• Power Glows: Gao and Shadow Gao's tails glow whenever they attack. Sakura's blade also glows pink when she prepares to strike.
• Power Nullifier: Kasli the Bane will always curse anything she hits.
• Purposely Overpowered: Considering they only even appear once in a blue moon and have the standard Uber rarity, of course getting one of the Uberfest or Epicfest Ubers will snap the game in half in one way or another. The only ones to subvert this trope are Garu and his Epicfest counterpart, both of which are balanced compared to other Ubers.
• Sealed Evil In A Person: According to Kasli the Scourge's description, her soul is a prison to 1,000 vengeful ghosts.
• Splash Damage:
  • Emma has an Omnistrike attack that lets her hit enemies a short distance behind the frontlines, which helps make up for her short range.
  • Mighty Aegis Garu is guaranteed to create mini-waves with each hit.
  • Iz's attacks have a small Omnistrike effect, letting her hit enemies behind cover.
  • King of Destiny Phono's 2nd and 3rd attacks cover much farther ranges than his standing range, allowing him to hit all but the longest ranged backliners.
• Stellar Name: Sirius is named after the real-life star of the same name. It also helps that her description mentions that she descended from the brightest of stars; fitting, considering that Sirius is said to be the brightest star in the night sky.
• Stone Wall: Mighty Aegis Garu has an insane amount of HP against traited enemies, but his DPS is lower than the other Uberfest units. With that said, his attack power is still objectively good, especially with his mini-waves factored in.
• Superpowered Evil Side: The Epicfest Ubers are this to their Uberfest versions, filling similar roles to each other and having higher base stats or new abiliies, but also being far more malevolent or twisted.
  • Shadow Gao comes from the darkest timeline and seeks power at any cost, only appearing to those who have seen true despair.
  • Dark Mitama has embraced the darkness of the cruel world and locked herself within her memories.
  • D'Arktanyan seeks nothing more than true justice, no matter the sacrifices.
  • Kasli the Bane wandered the land to find peace from her inner curses, only to become the personification of disaster itself.
  • Dark Aegis Garu is a vision of despair by one who couldn't protect those most dear to them.
  • Iz the Dancer of Grief wanders a world of death and destruction, performing mystical dances to pray to the gods and console despairing humans.
  • King of Doom Phono "bears the burden of destruction" and wields the flames of despair and hatred to sever fate itself.
• Weaponized Exhaust: Emma uses the exhaust from the floating vehicle she's riding on to burn up enemies.
• Winged Humanoid: Sirius has a pair of wings on her back.

Celebration Ubers

Ubers that don’t have a recurring set to get them but instead only appear on special occasions (e.g. the Anniversary of The Battle Cats' release, New Years)

Includes Li'l Valkyrie, Li'l Valkyrie Dark, and Princess Cat.

• Anti-Armor: Li'l Valkyrie might break Starred Alien Barriers at a 30% chance.
• Child Prodigy: Princess Cat's description states that she memorized the entire royal library at just 9 years old.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Li'l Valkyrie Dark is just Li'l Valkyrie except she wears black armour, has red eyes, and white hair. Heck, she even has the word Dark in her name. Despite all of this, she's actually someone who smites evil and her Evolved Form's description says that she subdues agents of evil.
• Long-Range Fighter: Like her father, Princess Cat makes up for her slightly below-average attack power with very high range.
• No-Sell: Li'l Valkyrie is immune to every debuff in the game as well as Wave Attacks. Li'l Valkyrie Dark doesn’t have any debuff Immunity whatsoever but still has Wave Immunity.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite being much smaller and cuter than the original Valkyrie Cat, both Li'l Valkyries are incredibly powerful in battle.
• Super-Deformed: Li'l Valkyrie is a chibified version of the original Valkyrie Cat. The same goes for Li'l Valkyrie Dark though her differing color palette to Valkyrie Cat means that she isn’t just a chibified copy of her.

Legend Rare Cats

The rarest tier of Cats, introduced in Version 8.0. They have a 0.3% chance of being drawn from appropriate Uber Rare sets.

The ones currently obtainable are Musashi Miyamoto (Sengoku Wargods Vajiras), Headmistress Jeanne (Cyber Academy Galaxy Gals), High Lord Babel (Lords of Destruction Dragon Emperors), Ushiwakamaru (Ancient Heroes Ultra Souls), Legeluga (Tales of the Nekoluga), Wonder Momoco (The Dynamites), Gaia the Creator (The Almighties), Doktor Heaven (Dark Heroes), Mighty Kristul Muu (Frontline Assault Iron Legions), Lumina (Elemental Pixies) Kyosaka Nanaho (GirlsMons), Emperor Cat (DynastyFest), and Daybreaker Izanagi (Uberfest).

---

• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Headmistress Jeanne and Kyosaka Nanaho are unable to hit enemies that get too close.
• BFS: Musashi Miyamoto wields two of them, with even the smaller sword being about nearly half as big as him.
• Close-Range Combatant: In a stark contrast to the rest of their kind, Legeluga engages enemies from a rather short range of 300. While this makes it vulnerable to attack, the amount of DPS that it can pump out is nothing if not impressive.
• Crippling Overspecialization:
  • Due to his single target attacks, Musashi Miyamoto is only really effective against black enemies who have a ton of HP and are strong enough to the point where they’re only spawned in all by themselves or in small groups (e.g. Bun Bun Black, Le’Noir, Two Can, Director Kurosawa). To be fair, this is somewhat alleviated by his multi-hit ability and fairly fast attack rate.
  • Every single thing about Mighty Kristul Muu, from its Insane Damage and Resistant abilities to its extremely slow speed, allow it to crush any Zombie that it comes across, and its Wave Blocker lets it do the same to most wave enemies. Outside of those, it's simply decent-to-alright against everything else at best.
• Critical Hit: Kyosaka Nanaho has a high chance of doing one.
• Gemstone Assault: Lumina and Luminalia attack by summoning giant crystals and dropping them on enemies in front of them.
• Good Counterpart: Emperor Cat is one to Dark Emperor Nyandam, having a similar appearance and attack animation.
• Last Chance Hitpoint: Kyosaka Nanaho can survive one killing blow at a guaranteed chance.
• Long-Range Fighter: Emperor Cat attacks from a high range compared to other generalist Ubers, making up for his slightly below-average attack power.
• The Maker: Gaia is said to be the origin of all life, while Izanagi is said to be "the prelude to all that ever was".
• Mighty Glacier: Mighty Kristul Muu is ridiculously powerful against Zombies, with it being able to take down most Zombies in a few hits and take a ton of damage from them, but it has the slowest move speed in the entire game tied with The Face, and is in fact so slow that the "Slow" debuff only halves its speed. However, this is actually useful since this means that it can be used as a “base guard” of sorts against Zombies that have burrowed past most of your attackers and won’t move past Zombies that are about to revive.
• No-Sell:
  • Babel is immune to Stop and Slow.
  • Momoco is immune to waves.
  • Legeluga is immune to every negative effect, including waves.
  • Mighty Kristul Muu blocks wave attacks.
  • Izanagi is immune to waves, Curse, and Stop.
• Magikarp Power:
  • Like the other Nekoluga units, Legeluga only becomes useful when it evolves.
  • Ushiwakamaru becomes much stronger when evolved. Zig-zagged, as the original form is much cheaper and faster to produce.
• Physical God: Even amongst their home banners, which are full of these, Babel and Jeanne are implied to be particularly powerful.
• Power at a Price: Tyrant Cat's description states that his magical power came at a cost: a piece of his soul gets consumed with every battle.
• Purposely Overpowered: Their stats are much higher than standard Uber Rares, befitting their rarity. They also tend to have much more powerful abilities.
• Sadist Teacher: Jeanne is all but implied to be one. Considering that she's said to punish bad students with her energy spears, its no wonder all of the Cyber Academy's students respect her.
• Shout-Out: Ushiwakamaru is based off of the legend of 'Minamoto no Yoshitsune. His evolved form is based on Yoshitsune's actual bodyguard.
  • Musashi Miyamoto is based off of the legendary Japanese swordsman of the same name.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Momoco's first attack will always produce a fairly large shockwave. For added effectiveness, this helps carry her freeze effect across pretty much the entire stage.
• Stone Wall: Babel has the highest base HP in the game at 255,000 and insane resistance against Floating and Red to reduce their damage to 1/6 to 1/7 of the original. With all the appropriate treasures, High Lord Babel has over 1.7 million health against his respective target type.
  • Lumina would later blow Babel out of the water - while she has a lot less base health, she also has the ability to halve the attack of Alien enemies. With her weaken and all treasures active, Lumina has the highest effective HP of all cats, clocking in at a whopping 1.9 million health against Aliens.
• Technicolor Death: Legend Rares have a unique death animation, where they transform into a rainbow-colored, crystalline wisp that flies away.

Collaboration Cats

"Cats" obtained through participation in collab events.

Survive! Mola mola!

Special Cats include: Meowla Meowla

Super Rares include: Baby Mola

Uber Rares include: Mola King

---

• Achilles' Heel: Long Distance attacks, shockwaves, and surges will utterly crush Baby Mola and Mola King.
• Armored But Frail: Through talents, Mola King's true form, Living Legend, can gain an 80% chance to dodge attacks. This lets it shrug off most blows, but any attack which does get past its defenses is liable to kill it in one shot due to its pathetically low HP.
• Gameplay and Story Integration: In Survive! Mola Mola, it's a Running Gag that the mola molas are pathetically weak and frail fish that can be killed by practically anything. Sure enough, in their appearance here, both of them are pathetically weak and frail units that can be killed by practically anything.
• Glass Cannon: Baby Mola, when compared to Dragon Cat (the cat unit that he's most similar to) and his variants, has much more DPS than even the strongest King Dragon Cat, even at just level 30, but has so low HP that he's practically a One-Hit-Point Wonder.
• Long-Range Fighter: Both Baby Mola and Mola King hit decently hard from a long range, but will instantly die from any sort of damage.
• One-Hit-Point Wonder: Baby Mola starts off with just 1 HP, and that doesn't improve much as it levels up. Mola King's health pool isn't that much better.
• Super-Scream: Both Baby Mola and Mola King attack by screaming at foes, represented as the text suddenly appearing from their mouths and making impact with the target.

Mr. Ninja

Special Cats include: Mr. Ninja

---

• Promotional Powerless Piece of Garbage: Despite his effectiveness against Aliens, Mr. Ninja is far too weak to compete against even moderately-buffed enemies.
• Temporary Online Content: The event to obtain Mr. Ninja has only occured once. If you didn't pick him up while the event was on, you're out of luck. He did return for the What's in the Box event capsules, but that was eight years after Mr. Ninja's own event.

Metal Slug Defense

Rare Cats include: HYAKUTARO, MARCO, TARMA, ERI, FIO, MARS PEOPLE

Super Rares include: SV-001, ALLEN O'NEIL

Uber Rares include: HUGE HERMIT, JUPITER KING, DONALD MORDEN, HI-DO, Sol Dae Rokker

---

• Last Chance Hit Point: Just like in his home game, ALLEN O'NEIL gets back up and keeps going when killed.
• Retraux: Just like the style of their home game, all of them are rendered in pixel art.

PPAP

Special Cats include: CPAC

Rare Cats include: PIKOTARO

---

• Non-Standard Character Design: While PIKOTARO's in-game sprite is stylized like everything else, his mugshot in the Equip menu and Cat Guide is a picture of the real person.
• Overly Long Fighting Animation: PIKOTARO's attack animation has him (silently) sing and dance for quite a while before releasing his attack.
• Promotional Powerless Piece of Garbage: Both of the units are particularly notable examples, with CPAC being utterly overshadowed by Axe Cat and Ninja Cat, and PIKOTARO by a galaxy of other anti-Red Cats.
• Temporary Online Content: The event to obtain them has only occured once.

Crash Fever

Special Cats include: Happy 100

Super Rares include: Belial

Uber Rares include: Mobius

---

• Critical Status Buff: Belial's attack power increases when he's at half health, though not by much.
• Promotional Powerless Piece of Garbage: While Mobius is a decent Uber, Happy 100 is terrible and Belial is one of the worst Super Rares in existence.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Special Cats include: Li'l Homura

Rare Cats include: Li'l Madoka, Madoka Cat, Homura Cat, Mami Cat, Kyoko Cat, Sayaka Cat

Super Rares include: Kyubey

Uber Rares include: Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe, Kyoko Sakura, Sayaka Miki, Bebe

---

• Adaptational Badass: The Witch Killer ability allows the magical girls to handily defeat most of the Witch enemies, even those that they struggled with in the original anime. You can even use Mami to defeat Charlotte and Homura to defeat Walpurgisnacht.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Madoka Kaname and Mami Tomoe are long-distance backliners who can't hit foes near them.
• Gameplay and Story Integration:
  • Sayaka Miki's kit revolves around taking damage to retaliating with a strengthened counterattack, to the point of being able to defy death, mirroring Sayaka's incredible durability and self-sacrificing nature, along with her self-destructive tendencies later on as her cat unit needs to be severely hurt in order to perform at her best.
  • Homura and Li'l Homura cannot be deployed in the fight against Homulilly, since Homulilly is Homura. However, she can still be placed in the lineup to activate her Cat Combo with Li'l Madoka.
• Weapon of X-Slaying: Most of them have the Witch Killer ability, which only affects the collab-exclusive Witches and causes units to deal 5x damage to them and take 0.1x damage from them. Together, Li'l Madoka and Homura can form the "My Very Best Friend" combo, which multiplies its effects by 5, leading to 25x damage dealt and 1/50 damage taken.

Fate Series

Special Cats include: Shirou the Cat, Li'l Sakura

Rare Cats include: Li'l Shirou, Sakura the Cat, Rin the Cat, Ilya the Cat, Archer the Cat, Rider the Cat

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Special Cats include: Gendo & Fuyutsuki Cats, Kaworu & Cat

Rare Cats include: Shinji & Cat, Giraffe Unit-01, Rei Cat, Asuka Cat, Mari Cat

Super Rares include: Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley, Mari Illustrious, Misato Katsuragi, Ritsuko Akagi, Rei Ayanami (???)

Uber Rares include:

• Universal: Eva Unit-13, One-Eyed Asuka
• Evangelion: Eva Unit-00, Eva Unit-01, Eva Unit-02, Eva Unit-08, Shinji & Cat, Moon Operators, AAA Wunder
• Evangelion 2nd Strike: The 4th Angel, The 6th Angel, The 9th Angel, The 10th Angel, Night Oracle Rei

---

• Adaptational Badass: Due to having the Eva Killer ability, Shinji and the other Eva pilots are completely capable of taking on the Angels by themselves and winning, at least in the earlier stages of the event.
• Critical Status Buff: Unit-02, Code 777, Eva Unit-02's True Form, gives it the ability to deal double damage upon dropping down to 33% HP. Considering its role as a Red nuker, reaching this state allows it to rip apart huge chunks of HP from the trait it targets, assuming you can keep it alive, that is.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: In addition to their anti-trait abilities, most of them are also effective against the Eva Angel enemies that appear during the event.
• Energy Weapon: Most of the Ubers in the 2nd Strike banner can produce Surges to make up for their lacking DPS, with Sachiel instead having mini-waves.
• Moveset Clone: Shinji & Cat, the Moon Operators, AAA Wunder, and Night Oracle Rei are event-themed versions of Baby Cat, The Death Moon, NEK-0 Sky Fortress, and Miko Mitama, respectively. They have similar stats, but target different traits.
• Promoted to Playable: The Angels formerly appeared as enemies in the event, but were later made available as Ubers.
• Redemption Demotion: Even by the standards of boss-to-unit demotions, the Angels are particularly weak as Ubers, especially Sachiel and Zeruel.
• Weapon of X-Slaying: Most of them have the EVA Angel Killer ability, which only affects the collab-exclusive Eva Angels and causes units to deal 5x damage to them and take 0.2x damage from them. Together, Shinji and Kaworu can form the "You Will Find Happiness" combo, which multiplies its effects by 5, leading to 25x damage dealt and 1/25 damage taken.

Enemies

Regular Enemies

Traitless/White/Colorless Enemies

Enemies that lack a color/trait. This enemy type has no real theme or specialties.

These include Doge, Snache, Those Guys, Hippoe, Gory, Jackie Peng, Kang Roo, Master A, Le'boin, Teacher Bear, THE SLOTH, Camelle, R. Ost, Kory, Dober P.D., H. Nah, Ururun Wolf, Mr. Mole, Dolphina, Croakley, Codename: Red Riding, Hermit Cat, Mystic Mask Yulala, Master Uril, King Wahwah, etc.

---

• Critical Hit Class: R. Ost is one of two normal enemies (along with Capy) that can perform Critical Hits. With his fast attack rate, they tend to pile up a lot.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Ururun Wolf, Codename: Red Riding, Hermit Cat, Mystic Mask Yulala, and Master Uril can be recruited to your side after beating them. Of course, Redemption Demotion is in effect here.
• Final Boss: Hermit Cat and Mystic Mask Yulala were the former final bosses of the Heavenly Tower. After the tower was extended to 50 floors, Master Uril became the new final boss.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Not having any traits may seem like a setback and most early White enemies are pushovers... but once monsters like R. Ost, Dolphina, Mr. Mole, and Kory show up, it becomes evident that a lack of a trait means a lack of weaknesses. Even worse, cats that exclusively target traitless are either Ubers (the Epicfest Ubers), hard to get (Glass Cat, Lone Cat and Kitten, Dogumaru) or are hard to utilise properly (Filibuster Cat X).
• Jack of All Trades: They tend to be pretty well rounded overall, though individual White enemies can be more specialized.
• Locked Out of the Fight:
  • Croakley slows your cats for an entire minute should he hit them, preventing them from contributing to the fight unless the enemies advance.
  • Mystic Mask Yulala can warp cats back a significant distance.
• Mini Mook:
  • Li'l Doge is a smaller version of the regular Doge that doesn't have much in the way of stats, but in exchange has a 20% chance to Dodge, completely ignoring damage after taking an attack, for a second.
  • Bore Jr. is a much smaller version of Bore. It moves faster and maintains the high attack power of its larger relatives, and can create mini-waves, but has low HP.
• Optional Boss:
  • King Wahwah and Doremi are the bosses of their own bonus stages and drop exclusive Cats.
  • Hermit Cat, Masked Yulala, and Master Uril are the bonus bosses of the Heavenly Tower, and must be defeated before they'll join you.
• Rage Quit: Croakley is a competitive gamer who has a habit of using his tongue to hit the reset button if he loses.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Kory, Hermit Cat, and Dober P.D. can fire wave attacks. The former two will do this at a 100% rate. Mr. Mer and Bore Jr. can also fire mini-waves.

Red Enemies

Enemies that will usually have a lot of health, high damage, and very few knockbacks, making them hard to flinch. On the contrary, they tend to be quite slow and generally have the most weaknesses.

These include Pigge, B.B Bunny, One Horn, Sir Seal, Shy Boy (Red/Floating), Dark Emperor Nyandam, Li'l Nyandam, J.K. Bun Bun (Red/Floating), Bore, Capy, Ginger Snache, Berserkory, Red Cyclone (Red/Floating), Hackey, Professor A, Hannya, etc.

---

• Alliterative Name: B. B. Bunny and Sir Seal.
• Critical Hit: Capy is one of two normal enemies that can crit. Considering Capy's attack power is already one of the highest among enemies, pretty much nothing can survive a critical hit from Capy.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Li'l Nyandam can be recruited to your side after beating him. Of course, Redemption Demotion is in effect here.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Reds in particular have the short end of the stick when it comes to type matchups, as anti-Red units are by far the most common.
• Evil Mask: Hannya started out as a Shy Boy who wore one of these as a joke... only to transform into a flesh-eating demon. That can happen.
• Lightning Bruiser: While a good amount of reds are slow, but strong, Bore, J.K. Bun Bun and Shy Boy are more unique due to their relatively fast movement speed while still being strong and tanky.
• Mighty Glacier: Most of them are slow, have huge amounts of HP, deal tons of damage and don't get knocked back too often.
• Optional Boss: Hannya, Red Cyclone, and Black Okame, being bosses of unique stages centered around them. They drop exclusive cats should you beat them.
• Palette Swap: Shy Boy and Ginger Snache are the purest examples in the game, having no visual differences from their original versions aside from color.
• Playing with Fire: Hackey shoots ultra-long-range fireballs that deal immense damage.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: They are primarily red in colors, and they are even nastier than standard enemies.
• Slouch of Villainy: Nyandam is permanently in this position, even when he's attacking or is injured.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Berserkory can fire a massive shockwave with each attack he lands.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Capy delivers incredibly damaging strikes constantly from a safe range, but can only strike one cat at a time.

Floating Enemies

Enemies with no real specialties besides the fact that they float. Some enemies throughout the game can be Floating with another type, usually Red/Floating, Black/Floating, Alien/Floating, Relic/Floating...

These include Mooth, Owlbrow, Teacher Bun Bun, The Face, White/Red/Black Cyclone, The Perfect Cyclone, Brollow, Pigeon de Sable, The Cat God, Mecha-Bun, etc.

---

• Airborne Mook: What else do Floating enemies do? Humorously subverted with Owlbrow, who is still treated as a Floating enemy despite being grounded outside of his attack animation, a fact he is apparently aware of and complains about.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Mecha-Bun can be recruited to your side after beating it. Of course, Redemption Demotion is in effect here.
• Flying Face: The Face. There's also his variants.
• Fragile Speedster: Brollow is one of the fastest enemies in the game and has high attack power, but has low HP and is very easily knocked back.
• Glass Cannon: Owlbrow, Pigeon de Sable, Brollow, and Gobble will die easily under sustained attack from most offensively-oriented cats, but all have their own ways of dealing massive damage.
• Lightning Bruiser: Teacher Bun Bun and his variants (and son) have high health, damage and speed, but relatively close range.
• Percent Damage Attack: Gobble's Toxic attacks will take off a percentage of his targets' maximum health.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Pigeon de Sable is guaranteed to create a short-ranged shockwave, letting it hit your longer-ranged cats from behind cover. Bun Bun Symbiote has the same ability, but at a much lower chance.
• Wind Is Green: They're represented by a green color on their trait icon.

Black Enemies

Enemies characterized by having massive speed, huge attack power, and fast attacks, but many knockbacks, making them easy to smack around.

These include Doge Dark, Gory Black, Shadow Boxer K., Bun Bun Black (Black/Floating), Assassin Bear, Director Kurosawah, Tackey, Razorback, Dark Otter, Two Can (Black/Red), Black Cyclone (Black/Floating), etc.

---

• Alliterative Name: Doge Dark and Bun Bun Black.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Tackey will always miss cats too close to it. Bizarrely, this includes the cats it's aiming at.
• Blown Across the Room: Black enemies in particular tend to get knocked back a lot more than your average enemy.
• Dark Is Evil: All of them are more Always Chaotic Evil compared to other enemies. Doge Dark and Assassin Bear are also outright stated to be professional assassins, and it's implied for Gory Black.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Subverted. They're attempting to stop the Cat Army from conquering the world, albeit for selfish reasons.
• Fragile Speedster: They are usually very fast and deal enormous damage. However, their HP is usually only average, and they get knocked back a lot.
• Optional Boss: Black Cyclone, Bakoo, and Black Okame are the bosses of their own stages and can drop exclusive cats if you beat them.
• Purposely Overpowered: The Assassin Bear is the fastest unit in the game (boasting a movement speed of 150, nearly twice the movement speed of the fastest cats in the game), attacks incredibly fast, and has an area attack with enough range to snipe nearly anything. While it has rather low damage and pitiful HP, it's usually buffed to the point where it can kill most cats in one or two hits. Heavily buffed Assassin Bears are spammed to guarantee a loss if you take too long on certain stages.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: They are predominantly black, with red eyes to boot.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: A trait shared by nearly all members of their group.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Two Can is guaranteed to fire a deadly shockwave with each hit.
• Stone Wall: Bun Bun Black is this among the Bun Bun variants, having the highest HP, but the lowest damage per hit.
• Turns Red: Razorback can increase his damage at half health.

Metal Enemies

Enemies classified by silvery parts and green eyes. They have high attack, average speed, and low health, but they have a special trait that makes them take 1 damage from all attacks, except for criticals.

These include Metal Hippoe, Metal Doge, Metal One Horn, Super Metal Hippoe, Sir Metal Seal, CyberFace, Teacher Cybear, Metal Cyclone, Croconator, Koronium, etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel:
  • Metals are vulnerable to critical hits, as they're the only things that bypass their high defence. Given their low health, a single critical from any reasonably-leveled cat will be able to dispatch the majority of the metals.
  • The Waterblast Cat Cannon can deal damage to them based on a large percentage of their current health.
• Armored But Frail: To compensate for their ability to take 1 damage from non-critical attacks, Metal enemies don't tend to have a lot of health, with even ones in the endgame generally only having a few hundred to a few thousand HP. While their resilience still makes them far bulkier than most enemies, this also means that it often only takes a single crit to bring them down.
• Colour Coded Eyes: All standard Metals have glowing green eyes as a prominent trait.
• Elite Mook: Super Metal Hippoe and Sir Metal Seal, being the two deadliest metals with enough health to survive most critical strikes. Multiple successive crits are required to bring them down.
• Fake Ultimate Mook:
  • CyberFace is ridiculously fast, deals enough damage to One-Hit Kill most cats several times over, delivers a huge shockwave 90% of the time, and only takes 1 damage from all attacks. The catch? It only has 299 HP, meaning a single crit from pretty much anything will do it in.
  • An even worse case is Teacher Cybear. He attacks twice a second, and deals 999,999 damage per hit... but also has single-target attacks, and just 50 health. Even without critical hits, he can be overwhelmed by a Zerg Rush of meatshields.
• Glass Cannon: A lot of the stronger Metals have highly destructive attacks, but will still die instantly to one or two wayward crits.
• Luck-Based Mission: Due to the nature of the Metals, most fights with many of them will tend to feel like this since your success almost entirely depends on whether or not your unit crits. The Metal Cyclone literally requires constant crit rates to beat.
• No-Sell: While they obviously do this to standard attacks, they also tend to be immune to status effects that would normally target all units.
• Optional Boss: Metal Cyclone is one, being boss of its own stage and dropping a special cat.
• Percent Damage Attack: The Waterblast cannon deals damage based off of their current HP, from 11% at Level 1 to 40% at Level 20.
• Scratch Damage Enemy: They will take exactly 1 damage from any attack, unless it's a critical or the Waterblast cannon.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Despite being a Cyclone, the Metal Cyclone rolls instead of flying due to its heavy weight, and as such is not classified as a Floating unit. However, this also makes it immune to the anti-floating units that most of the Cyclones are weak to.

Angel Enemies

Lightning Bruisers with tons of health, deadly area attacks, insane speed, and halos. All in all, an enemy type not to be underestimated.

These include Gabriel, Heavenly Hippoe, Angelic Gory, Angelic Sleipnir, Chickful A, Sunfish Jones, Boraphim, Divine Cyclone, Cruel Angel Clionel, etc.

---

• Alliterative Name: Heavenly Hippoe.
• Holy Halo: Every single angel enemy always has one.
• Light Is Good: They're Angels that are trying to stop the Cat Army from taking over the world, but...
• Light Is Not Good: Most of them aren't really that nice, despite being Angels. Cruel Angel Clionel in particular is said to either be humanity’s salvation or its destruction.
• Lightning Bruiser: They tend to be far faster, stronger, and more resilient than the enemies they're based on.
• Mini Mook: Great Angel Chibinel is a smaller and much cuter version of Cruel Angel Clionel. It has lower stats and shorter range, but can also weaken cats.
• Optional Boss: Divine Cyclone, Cruel Angel Clionel, and Heavenly Herald Papuu are the bosses of their respective stages and can drop exclusive Cats if beaten.
• Splash Damage Abuse:
  • Youcan has the ability to create a powerful shockwave every time it attacks.
  • St. Dober can create Surge attacks at a 33% chance — not just letting him pierce through cover to hit long-ranged cats, but also drastically increasing his burst damage and DPS.

Alien Enemies

Teal-colored enemies that are rather strong, can toss out a lot of status effects, and give less cash when defeated. They have a passive 700% magnification that can only be reduced through treasures from Into the Future. They are the primary enemies in Into the Future.

These include Shibalien, Hyppoh, Helmut Krabbe, Kroxo, Maawth, Ursamajor, Scissoroo, Cyberhorn, Elizabeth the LVIth, LeMurr, Imperator Sael, Elder Sloth, Alpacky, Calamary (Alien/Floating), Mistress Celeboodle, Nimoy Bore, I.M. Phace (Alien/Floating), Galactic Overseer Nyandam, Bun Bun Symbiote (Alien/Floating), Cli-One (Alien/Floating), Corrupted Valkyrie (Alien/Floating), Raging Bahamut Cat (Alien/Floating), Cosmic Cyclone (Alien/Floating), Queen B (Alien/Floating), etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Each chapter of Into the Future has two sets of treasures that will reduce their passive 700% magnification by 100% per treasure set fully completed. By collecting all 6 sets, you can reduce the magnification to 100% (however, normal magnification still applies.)
• Aliens Are Bastards: Even more so than the Cat Army. The intro to Into the Future lists some of the horrible things they did on invasion:
  Their revenge on the humans who ignored them took many forms:
  Sinking Japan… Psychic activity… Mind-control implants… Floating cities… Reality television… Unspeakable probing…
• Blade Below the Shoulder: Scissoroo uses two shear-like gloves to attack. They fire lasers.
• Brick Joke: Mistress Celeboodle's description mentions that despite having it all, she married a chihuahua reality TV star. Come the ultra-difficult Superboss King Wahwah, it's stated that he hates the fact that despite being a king, he's overshadowed by his kid brother, who happens to be a reality TV star.
• Critical Status Buff: Alpacky's damage gets multiplied by ten when she's at 1% HP. At this point, while she can pretty much one-shot anything, chances are that she's already used her Last Chance Hitpoint and will die if so much as breathed on.
• Degraded Boss: All three of the Into the Future chapter bosses have an instance of this.
  • Cli-One is the final boss for the first chapter of Into the Future, but it's also used as a stage boss in a number of other stages (primarily Uncanny Legends) - notably, its strength magnification in said stages makes it much stronger than in its initial appearance, but the player is likely to have more counters to it and generally stronger units at that point of the game.
  • Corrupted Valkyrie and Raging Bahamut both show up on the 41st floor of the Heavenly Tower. Corrupted Valkyrie also makes a surprise appearance in 3-4 of Zero Legends.
• Elite Mooks: Much stronger variants of the standard enemies, courtesy of their raised stats, Status Effects, and passive magnification.
• Energy Weapon: Cli-One attacks with a long ranged laser burst.
• Final Boss: Cli-One, Corrupted Valkyrie and Raging Bahamut Cat serve as the bosses of Into the Future Chapter 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
• Last Chance Hitpoint: Helmut Krabbe and Alpacky have the ability to survive one lethal strike.
• Lightning Bruiser: Many could qualify, but special mention goes to the Elder Sloth, which sextuples his predecessor's movement speed.
• Mini-Boss: Halfway through Into the Future, you'll have to contend to either I.M. Phace, Galactic Overseer Nyandam or Bun Bun Symbiote in The Great Abyss, depending on what chapter you're in. Also, right before the Final Boss, you'll have to beat Nimoy Bore.
• Optional Boss: Queen B and Cosmic Cyclone are the bosses of their own special stages and aren't part of the story mode, but beating them allows you to unlock special cats.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Elizabeth and Bun Bun Symbiote can fire a shockwave attack, the former at a guaranteed rate, and the latter at a 5% rate.
• Status Effects: One of their specialties. Almost all of the aliens have the ability to hammer you with some kind of negative status effect. The ones that don't usually have the ability to give themselves a positive status effect when certain conditions are met.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Corrupted Valkyrie and Raging Bahamut Cat are powerful Alien enemy versions of Holy Valkyrie Cat and Awakened Bahamut Cat.
• Turns Red: Ursamajor, Mistress Celeboodle, Corrupted Valkyrie and Cosmic Cyclone can increase their damage when their HP falls below a certain amount. Alpacky can do this too, but that's covered in Critical Status Buff above.

Zombie Enemies

Purple, undead enemies that are much stronger than their normal counterparts, and give little money. Most of them have the ability to burrow underneath your units, and all of them have the ability to come back to life after dying once (or in some cases, indefinitely). Units with the Zombie Killer trait can permanently kill zombies regardless if they have used their revive or not, while units with the Soulstrike trait can attack the "corpse" of a zombie to put it down before it can revive.

These include Zoge, Znache, Zomboe, Zigge, Zory, Zir Zeal, Zang Roo, Zackie Peng, Zroco, Coffin Zoge, Zamelle, Lord Gravey, Miss Haka, Big Sal, Inumusha, Daboo of the Dead, Zyclone, etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel:
  • In addition to the standard units effective against them, Zombie Killer units can kill them permanently to cancel their revives, and units with the Soulstrike ability can attack their reviving corpses to quickly finish them off in case a Zombie Killer didn't get them previously.
  • The Holy Blast Cat Cannon can unearth burrowed zombies while freezing them and dealing damage based on their maximum health, along with also having the aforementioned Zombie Killer and Soulstrike abilities in the event that it actually finishes them off.
• Alliterative Name: Zir Zeal.
• Anti-Structure: Big Sal and Miss Haka will burrow under your cats to target the Cat Base directly. Big Sal deals more than enough damage to destroy it in one hit,, while Miss Haka has much more HP, but has to hit the base multiple times to destroy it.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Inumusha can be recruited to your side after beating him in "Multiversal Studios". Of course, Redemption Demotion is in effect here, though he does gain wave immunity when he's on the cats' side.
• Dig Attack: Most zombies have the ability to burrow a certain distance underneath units in order to get behind your lines. Most can only do this once per life, but Big Sal and Miss Haka in particular can do this indefinite times.
• Elite Mook: Zombies tend to be far stronger than the units they're based after.
• Everything's Deader with Zombies: As a whole, there's no real story-based reason as to why the Zombies need to be in this game other than "because it's cool". Even their Zombie Outbreaks act more like Bonus Dungeons rather than anything else.
• Final Boss: Lord Gravey is the boss of Empire of Cats Moon when it is under Zombie influence. Miss Haka is boss of the second moon, and both of them are the bosses of the third one.
• Glass Cannon: With a few exceptions, most burrowing Zombies don’t have too much health. However, nearly all of them do huge amounts of damage, attack quickly, and hit the most vulnerable cats in the backline. Even among them, Zollow is a notable example, despite not burrowing; it has even less health than Brollow and slower speed, but its Toxic attacks let it kill any cat with less than 40,000 HP in just one hit.
• Mini Mook: Li'l Zyclone is a smaller, much weaker, faster version of Zyclone that can burrow.
• No-Sell: Daboo of the Dead resists all negative status effects. He can, however, still be knocked back by the Sniper Cat powerup or the Cat Cannon.
• Optional Boss: Daboo of the Dead, Zyclone, and Death Angel Z-Onel, who are bosses of their own stages and drop special units.
• Our Zombies Are Different: Characterized with purple skin, white circles for their irises, and sometimes exposed bone. They're also less "mindless creatures" and more "an ordinary being, except dead" if the descriptions of certain Zombies are anything to go by (such as Zoge, Zory, and Zackie Peng). These living corpses have the ability to revive when killed, and some can also dig underground.
• Percent Damage Attack:
  • The Holy Blast cannon will take off a percentage of their maximum health, alongside unburrowing and freezing them.
  • Zollow's Toxic attacks will chop off 80% of the target's health, alongside his base damage.
• Reviving Enemy: The main gimmick of all Zombies is that after they’re killed, they’re reverted into a corpse that can be walked over by cats and, after some time has passed (the time it takes is different from enemy to enemy), will come back with a portion of their HP recovered, with the exception of some who can recover all of their HP (Zory, Zang Roo and Zyclone to name a few) or less than half (Daboo of the Dead). Normally, each zombie can only revive once, but there are some who have infinite revives, making them effectively unkillable unless you have a unit with the “Zombie Killer” ability land the killing blow, at which point their revive won’t take effect and they’ll die normally, or destroy the base before they revive.
• Stone Wall:
  • Coffin Zoges do low damage but have very high HP and revive indefinitely.
  • Li'l Zyclone has extremely low damage, especially considering that it's a Cyclone, but it has among the highest HP of any burrowing Zombie and is Immune to Flinching. Its role is to burrow into your backlines and prevent cats from getting to the front and attacking.
• Zombie Apocalypse: After clearing Empire of Cats Chapter 1, Zombie Outbreaks can start occurring on various stages. Clearing these gives you Cat Food, higher treasure drop rates if you clear a specific set of stages, and if all zombies in one chapter are eradicated, a permanent max energy boost.

Starred Alien Enemies

Special versions of the aliens identified by a yellow star insignia. They have a passive 1600% magnification that must be lowered through treasures found in Cats of the Cosmos, where the Star-Aliens are most prominently found. Many of them have the ability to warp Cats a certain distance backwards, removing them from battle while they are being warped. In addition, most of them have barriers that must be broken before the enemy can take any damage.

These include Shibalien Elite, Star Peng, General Gregory, Le'Solar, Project A, Corporal Weyland, Spacefish Jones (Alien/Floating), Youcan (Alien/Angel), UltraBaaBaa, Kid Tappa, Ribbo, Mesocosmocyclone, Gardeneel Bros, Axolotly, Super Cosmic Cyclone, Filibuster Obstructa, etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel: There are a number of treasures scattered throughout the Cats of the Cosmos chapter that will lower their magnification by 100% per set completed. Considering they start off ridiculously strong, you're going to need them. Additionally, like the standard Aliens, they are just as susceptible to anti-Alien units, but they specifically are more vulnerable to units that can either stop warps or instantly shatter their barriers.
• Arbitrary Weapon Range: Like his standard counterpart, Corporal Weyland can't attack cats too close to him.
• Armored But Frail: UltraBaaBaa's barrier is almost indestructible without Cats with the Barrier Breaker trait, having a whopping 266,000 HP. However, UltraBaaBaa herself is one of the most fragile starred Aliens, only having as much HP unmagnified as the original Baa Baa. Le'Solar is a less extreme example, having a strong barrier, but lower HP than most other Le'boin variants.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Youcan is described as being "extra-confident" and extremely full of himself due to a lifetime of praise. To be fair, he's arguably one of the strongest Star-Aliens in the entire game.
• Attack Its Weak Point: Youcan and UltraBaaBaa have a massive 266000 HP barrier, making it nearly impossible to break through brute force like you can with the others. Instead, you pretty much have to use a cat with Barrier Breaker.
• Bioweapon Beast: Spacefish Jones is a bioweapon bred by space Doges for surprise attacks on cat outposts.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Spacefish Jones' description.
  A bioweapon bred by Space Doges for surprise attacks on Cat outposts. Invisible from the front, but since this game is in landscape mode, its stealth is not effective.
• Deflector Shields: Most Star-Aliens have a Barrier (represented as a diamond-shaped red shield) that will make them immune to damage and statuses as long as it stands. In order to break it, you must break it with a single, big hit that can overcome its HP limit or use a cat with the Barrier Breaker trait, which can break it regardless of damage. The barriers vary in strength, from General Gregory's 6000 to Le'Solar's 40000, but special mention goes to Youcan and UltraBaaBaa, which have a barrier strength of 266,000.
• Elite Mooks: They are upgrades of the previous Elite Mooks, the Aliens.
• Fake Ultimate Mook: Filibuster Obstructa. The game describes it as an "all-powerful lifeform", and it serves as the Superboss of Cats of the Cosmos as a whole. When fought, it is overwhelmingly powerful statwise - packing 2 million HP and an attack that deals 1 million damage and spans the entire stage. The problem? Its attack takes 40 seconds to complete, and said attack will get interrupted every time it takes a mere 1/200 of its HP in damage.
• Locked Out of the Fight: Warped cats are temporarily removed from battle.
• Mini Mook: Mesocosmocyclone is a smaller, weaker, faster version of Super Cosmic Cyclone.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: When a Star-Alien's Barrier is still up, they're this until you shatter it either with high-enough damage or a Barrier Breaker.
• No-Sell: While a Starred Alien's barrier us up, they will resist all damage and status effects.
• Optional Boss: Super Cosmic Cyclone and Everlord Wanwan are the bosses of their own stages and have nothing to do with Cats of the Cosmos. They can both drop their own exclusive units should you defeat them.
• Overly Long Fighting Animation: Filibuster Obstructa’s attack animation consists of him charging up an energy ball, which soon starts sucking in planets to charge it up, before launching it to make a huge explosion. This take 40 seconds to execute. (For comparison, Super Galaxy Cosmo takes roughly 10 seconds for his attack animation to finish.)
• Punny Name: Youcan's name means that whenever someone wants to call him, they have to say "you can!" No wonder why he's so overconfident...
• Stone Wall: Kid Tappa has a respectable amount of HP and a strong barrier, but deals a pitiful amount of damage per hit and attacks incredibly infrequently. His role is solely to engage your cats and serve as a stationary wall, like an enemy version of Curling Cat.
• Thinking Up Portals: A number of the Star-Aliens can generate portals to warp their targets back a certain distance. Gardeneel Bros and Mesocosmocyclone weaponize this further by warping cats forwards, potentially into more deadly backline enemies.

Aku Enemies

Demon-like enemies that start appearing in late Uncanny Legends stages, as well as part of a progression line required to unlock the "The Aku Realms" map and later Uncanny Legends maps. Most of them come with the Aku Shield ability, which negates damage and debuffs until it breaks, then regenerates when the enemy gets knocked back, and some also have the ability to generate a Surge Attack when defeated.

These include Aku Doge, Sinner Snache, Cerberus Kids, Condemned Peng, Aku Gory, Le'Behemoth, Fallen Bear, Dark Priest Mamon, Lord of Ruin Jagando, Aku Cyclone, the Wicked Cats, etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Units with the Shield Piercer ability have a chance to completely shatter an Aku Shield on hit. This can prove devastating since many Aku enemies rely on their shields to last long, with their actual health being depleted in just a few hits.
• Alliterative Name: Sinner Snache.
• Armored But Frail: Aku enemies don't tend to have too much raw HP, but their Aku Shields massively boost their durability.
• Big Bad: Mamon serves as the primary antagonist of The Aku Realms, with his main goal being to summon back the Lord of Ruin with the help of his Aku Altars, which the cats have to stop.
• Body Armor As Hitpoints: Aku Shields, aside from being able to shield them from negative status effects, effectively act as an additional HP boost to the one who has them.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: The Wicked Cat bosses are implied to be brainwashed into evil, as they're enemy versions of the Brainwashed Cats.
• Critical Hit:
  • Aku Gory has a 10% chance to deal a devastating Savage Blow with each attack.
  • Malevolent Jamiera Cat has a 20% chance to land a Savage Blow which deals 6 times its already-high base damage
• Dark Is Evil: Most of them are covered in jagged black markings.
• Deal with the Devil: They're mentioned to offer deals to mortals in exchange for their souls (or someone else's, in the case of Ackey). Accepting the deal appears to turn the seller into an Aku. Some examples are Condemned Peng making a deal for a body that needs no rest, or Le'Behemoth asking for a set of very questionable pictures.
• Deflector Shields: Their Aku Shields work similarly to the barriers possessed by starred Aliens. They don't need to be broken in a single hit (and can be chipped away through accumulated damage), but will regenerate once the enemy gets knocked back. The shield often has a massive amount of durability and scales with the owner's magnification, which often turns said enemies into massive damage sponges without a Shield Piercer, especially those that get knocked back often and can thus regenerate their shield frequently.
• Greater-Scope Villain: When compared to Mamon, who acts as the narrator of the saga's opening and epilogue and is the Recurring Boss of the saga, the Lord of Ruin, a Destroyer Deity, isn't that much of an active threat, only being mentioned in the opening text scroll of The Aku Realms and in the descriptions of Mamon as well as only being fought at the very last stage of the saga, yet his existence has Mamon trying to free him, with that being his main goal in the story of The Aku Realms, and, by proxy, why the Aku Altars exist in the first place.
• Hitbox Dissonance: Ackey's attack animation has it fire a rocky projectile which explodes into three bursts of blue light. However, only the first explosion actually does any damage, and it hits 3 times; the other two are entirely for show.
• Last Ditch Move: A few Aku enemies will create a final surge attack when they die, themed as their soul casting a spell before flying off.
• No-Sell: Like the Barriers of Starred Aliens, Aku enemies with their shields up will resist all debuffs.
• Optional Boss: Aku Cyclone, Possessed Empress, and Sathankhamun VIII are the bosses of their own stages, and might drop a special unit when defeated.
• Power Limiter: The Aku Base found in Aku World stages will massively restrict the levels of all Cats, as well as completely disabling + Levels. The restriction can be gradually reduced to nothing by clearing Aku World stages, and the restriction on your + Levels can be removed by defeating Jagando, who invades the map after clearing all the Aku World stages.
• Recurring Boss: Dark Priest Mamon is fought twice in the first Aku World chapter. The second time, he's bigger, has higher stats, and has new special abilities.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: The Lord of Ruin is sealed away by the time The Aku Realms begins, with Mamon looking to free him for his own purposes. He ends up successfully freeing him, despite being defeated by the cats.
• Taking You with Me: Some Aku enemies can generate a Surge Attack when killed, potentially taking down a chunk of your lineup with them.
• Visionary Villain: High Priest Mamon's description states that he dreams of a perfect world, though it questions whether his methods will have unexpected consequences.

Relic Enemies

A new, more powerful enemy type introduced after clearing the Stories of Legend, unlocking the much harder Uncanny Legends. Pretty much all of them come with the crippling "Ancient Curse" ability, which is capable of shutting off your Cats' special abilities that target enemies for a while. These guys are identified by dark-green/gray stone markings and gems.

These include Relic Doge, Relic Bun-Bun, Oldhorn, Othom (Relic/Floating), Sir Rel, Loris, M. Ost, Lowkey (Relic/Floating), Primeval Cyclone, Dogumaru, Queen Mother V, etc.

---

• All Your Powers Combined: Lowkey takes elements from nearly every prior Face variant and mashes them into a single enemy. It possesses Hannya's range and Breath Weapon, Shy Boy's attack speed, The Face's incredibly high HP and abysmal movement speed, and CyberFace's single knockback.
• Bioweapon Beast: Golem Sunfish's description mentions how it's "a destructive weapon constructed by ancients".
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Dogumaru, Urs & Fenrir, Elder Flame Doron, Ultima Beast Naala, and Idi:Re might join you after clearing their respective stages. Of course, Redemption Demotion is in effect here.
• Elite Mook: If you encounter a Relic variant of an enemy, chances are it's going to be the strongest variant of that enemy to exist. Even the Relic Doges have stats comparable to minor bosses.
• Fragile Speedster: Sir Rel’s fast movement speed and attack speed, combined with his strong attacks, make it so that even one of them can tear through your meatshields with ease. However, he is easy to knockback through damage and is currently the one with the least health amongst them.
• Killer Gorilla: Great Ape Luza is a gigantic gorilla-esque Relic which crushes cats with its bare fists. Zero Luza, its One-Winged Angel form, is an even more menacing example.
• Mighty Glacier: Exaggerated by Oldhorn, a variant of One Horn, who has 2.4 million HP. For perspective, that is more than all of the Cyclones in their base stats and most of the advent bosses (with Cruel Angel Clionel having the same amount and Daboo of the Dead being the only one to have more health than him). He also sports high damage output too, meaning anything standing in his way won't last very long, but he also has the slow speed to balance it out.
• Optional Boss: Primeval Cyclone and Queen Mother V are bosses of their own stages and beating them might get you a new cat.
• Power Nullifier: All Relic enemies come with the ability to inflict the Ancient Curse onto your cats, which temporarily nullifies abilities that target traits (eg. Slow, Freeze, Strong, etc). This doesn't really come into play against Relics themselves since most anti-Relics have Curse Immunity by default, but it can get very painful when Relics are paired up with other enemy types that you'd really want to be able to use specialists against. The main way around this is to use cats that have immunity to the Ancient Curse, or generalists that don't target specific traits at all.
• Punny Name: Haniwanwan's name is taken from the words haniwa, a sort of clay figure, and wan, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a dog's bark.
• Spin Attack: Like its cat counterpart, Haniwanwan attacks by rapidly spinning around with its clay arms outstretched.
• Sweeping Laser Explosion: Golem Sunfish fires a laser at the ground and sweeps it forward, leaving a bright green trail at the ground where the three separate explosions will appear, one after the other, soon after.
• True Final Boss: Idi:Re is the true final boss of Stories of Legend, and can only be fought after clearing every stage there on every star difficulty.
• Turns Red:
  • The Primeval Cyclone can triple its attack power at half health to subvert its normally low attack stat.
  • Idi:Re's attack doubles at half health... not that it really matters, because its regular attack is already a One-Hit Kill.

Colossal Enemies

A non-standard subtrait that encompasses upgraded versions of certain enemies that are easily identified by a black crystal embedded into their bodies. Originally exclusive to gigantic boss enemies that show up in limited-time stages, they have since been introduced to regular stages through the use of non-boss versions of the trait, and will start to show up in Uncanny Legends. This trait also has a specific counter-ability known as Colossus Slayer that allows the unit who has it to increase damage dealt and reduce damage taken from Colossals. ^note  The specific values are 1.6x damage dealt and 0.7x damage taken respectively.

These include Baron Seal, Le'Grim, Mega-Mooth, Super Hyppoh, Archangel Exiel, Big Peng Z, J. J. Jackrabbit, Great Angel Chibinel, Zero Luza, etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Cats with the Colossus Slayer ability are, naturally, extremely effective on them, as they'll both deal extra damage to them and take less damage from them, similar to the Strong effect. In addition, Colossus Slayer (and the other "Slayer" abilities) can stack multiplicitavely with standard anti-Trait abilities like Strong, Massive Damage, and Resistant for even more effectiveness.
• Alliterative Name: Mega-Mooth and J. J. Jackrabbit.
• Bioweapon Beast: According to their descriptions, all of them were created in a secret lab through unethical genome editing.
• Blank White Eyes: Baron Seal and Super Hyppoh both have these, just like the Crazed Cats.
• The Corruption: The dark crystals embedded in their bodies appear to be spreading this, as they're surrounded by patches of darkness.
• Final Boss: Zero Luza, the One-Winged Angel form of Great Ape Luza, acts as the final boss of the Uncanny Legends saga.
• Giant Mook: Non-boss Colossals simply take the form of slightly larger versions of their normal variant with their signature black crystal.
• King Mook: The colossals that are the bonus boss of their respective gauntlet are bigger, stronger versions of regular enemies.
• Punny Name: Archangel Exiel's name sounds like "XL", referencing how it's a gigantic version of Mr. Angel.
• Randomly Drops: When defeated, the Colossal bosses have a chance to drop an Enigma stage, which can be cleared for a talent orb of the boss's trait. The later levels have a higher chance of giving the stage.
• Recurring Boss: Every event with them features 20 stages, with each having a stronger boss and peons than the one before it. The first 10 and second 10 stages have different enemies.
• Rolling Attack: Mega Baa Baa attacks by rolling into nearby cats.
• Superboss: The Colossal bosses that are exclusive to certain gauntlets don't need to be fought to progress through the game, and are just there for strong players looking for a challenge and the rewards they drop.

Behemoth Enemies

A special, non-standard subtrait that's characterized by 2 things: very high stats and an immunity to something. Also has a special ability that specifically counters it called Behemoth Slayer, that increases damage against them, reduces damage taken, and grants the user a chance to dodge their attacks. ^note  The specific values are 2.5x damage dealt, 0.6x damage taken, and a 5% dodge chance with a 1 second duration respectively, though the dodge chance can differ from unit to unit.

Includes Casaurian Ahirujo, Pterowl Hazuku, Crustaceous Scissorex, Wild Doge, Ragin' Gory, Ultima Beast Naala, Ensanglion the Calamity, etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel: They're extremely vulnerable to cats with the Behemoth Slayer ability, which deal 2.5x damage to them and take only 0.6x damage in return. Notably, Behemoth Slayer is far stronger against Behemoths than the otherwise similar Colossus/Sage Slayer against their respective types.
• Action Bomb: When Formicidaean Ariant attacks, its abdomen explodes, blasting all nearby cats for extreme damage. Since it's a zombie, though, it survives using this technique and can attack again.
• Advancing Boss of Doom: Elephantidae Papaou is designed with this trope in mind — with its huge HP, single knockback, and knockback immunity, it's almost impossible to make it move backwards. It can't push too hard by itself with its underwhelming DPS, but it can prevent you from gaining ground until it dies.
• Boss in Mook Clothing: Certain Behemoths such as Scissorex, Hazuku, and Rangmaster have stats and skills befitting that of a very tough boss, bordering on being an Advent Boss at times, yet are enemies that you'll regularly encounter like any other enemy.
• Critical Hit: Casaurian Ahirujo has a 5% chance to land a powerful Savage Blow.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Ultima Beast Naala will join the Cat Army after being defeated, though with reduced stats.
• Dire Beast: They give this impression, being bigger, stronger, and more primal-looking versions of the standard enemies.
• Early-Bird Boss: Casaurian Ahirujo is likely to be the first Behemoth boss encountered, and shows up before you're likely to have Behemoth Slayer cats. It's a reasonable challenge without them, but gets swiftly curb-stomped by Courier Cat, the first one unlocked.
• Evil Counterpart: Ensanglion the Calamity, the final boss of the Behemoth Culling stages, is an enemy version of Ganglion.
• Foul Waterfowl: Casaurian Ahirujo and its variants are monstrous, aggressive Duches.
• Giant Enemy Crab: Crustaceous Scissorex is a giant Helmut Krabbe. It’s small by the standards of this trope, but still towers over most non-Uber cats.
• Glass Cannon: Formicidaean Ariant deals extreme amounts of damage that heavily damages a cat at best and outright instantly kills them at worst should it manage to get an attack off. However, its HP is notably low, which allows you to kill it relatively quickly compared to other Behemoths.
• Mighty Glacier:
  • Crustaceous Scissorex is a hulking Helmut Krabbe with very high HP and a devastating two-hit attack. However, it's quite slow to move and takes a while between attacks.
  • Great Ape Luza is slow to move and even slower to attack, but can take a serious beating before going down and crushes cats in a wide radius with its attacks.
• Monster Progenitor: Ensanglion the Calamity's Japanese description mentions that it's the originator of all the Behemoths.
• No-Sell: Almost all of them have an immunity to something, whether that be a status effect, Wave, or Surge. Ahirujo in particular has 3 immunities (Surge, Slow, and Freeze).
• Percent Damage Attack: Casaurian Darkjo has a small chance to do a Toxic attack for 50% of the victim's HP.
• Piñata Enemy: In some later Behemoth stages, Casaurian Ahirujo shows up with identical stats to before. It's very clearly meant as a source of free money, since Courier Cat will destroy it in a few seconds.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Ensanglion the Calamity's description says that it was sealed away by its virtuous other self in the past, but its seal has been broken as "a growing miasma births more Behemoths". The Japanese version further elaborates that it's the source of said miasma .
• Skeletons in the Coat Closet: Crustaceous Scissorex wears the skull of a Teacher Bun Bun as its shell.
• Shout-Out: All of them save Ragin' Gory reference monsters from the Monster Hunter franchise.
• Spam Attack: Several of the Behemoths have rapid multi-hit attacks which all hit different areas.
• Spike Shooter: THE FOLIVOREAN attacks by blasting cats in a wide range with spikes from its tail.
• Stone Wall:
  • Elephantidae Papaou sports not only a beefy 2 million HP and 1 knock back count, he also has immunities to all relevant status effects that can make him easier to deal with, most importantly the Knockback ability. This allows him to act as a huge wall of HP that slowly eats up at the amount of space you have access to while his immunities prevent you from gaining it back from him short of actually killing him. Fortunately, his offensive capabilities are lacking, being unable to kill or push back against your cats very well.
  • Suidae Piggicus is a peon-type enemy that sports close to 1 million HP and has 2 knockbacks, allowing it to stand its ground easily. In addition to this, it also has immunity to the Knockback ability, making it all the more sturdy in terms of holding ground. However, it barely does any damage to your cats at all.
• Turns Red: When Cumulus Gallus is below 1/3rd health, it gains a massive attack boost.

Sage Enemies

A unique enemy subtrait introduced in Zero Legends identifiable by the blue crystal embedded in their body, Sage enemies boast significant resistance to status effects, reducing the duration of all debuffs inflicted onto them by 70%, and halving the push distance of the Knockback effect. Their counter-ability is Sage Slayer, which increases damage against them, reduces damage taken, and allows wielders to ignore their debuff resistance while granting them debuff resistance in turn. ^note  The specific values are 1.2x damage dealt and 0.5x damage taken, 70% reduced debuff duration, and 50% less push from Knockback.

Includes Dogenstein, Tarsiriel, Sage of Mind Soractes, etc.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Cats with the Sage Slayer ability not only deal more damage to them and take significantly less damage from them, but also ignore their debuff resistance while gaining significant debuff resistance against them in turn.
• No-Sell: Although not completely immune, their massive status resistance means that typical stalling strategies will fail to work against them, unless you happen to have a Sage Slayer that ignores their resistances.

Event Enemies

The Cyclones

A group of enemies characterized by having non-stop attacks that will rip apart any cat that gets too close. They appear as optional bosses in event stages, and defeating them will drop unique anti-Metal units.

These include Red Cyclone, Black Cyclone, White Cyclone, Divine Cyclone, Metal Cyclone, Cosmic Cyclone, The Perfect Cyclone, Super Cosmic Cyclone, Zyclone, Aku Cyclone, and Primeval Cyclone.

---

• Arbitrary Weapon Range: The Perfect Cyclone is unable to rip apart cats directly next to it, since they're in the eye of the storm.
• Armored But Frail: Like the rest of the Metal enemies, Metal Cyclone takes only 1 damage from non-critical attacks, but has very low HP — at 100%, it has 77,777 HP, when even Red Cyclone has just shy of 1 million.
• Boss-Only Level: While the others come with support in their stages, Cosmic Cyclone is practically this, having nothing but a few weak Shibaliens alongside it. Their Revenge stage replaces them waits a quartet of Metal One Horns.
• Close-Range Combatant: With the exception of The Perfect Cyclone, all of them boast high health and immense DPS, but are very short-ranged. They vary in just how close-ranged they are, with Red Cyclone having the shortest range, and Super Cosmic Cyclone having the second-longest.
• Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud: They'll only tear apart cats that get close to them.
• Fake Ultimate Mook: Most of them have extremely high HP and DPS, but are crippled by their short range, slow movement speed, and vulnerability to status effects. The later-introduced Cyclones have more unique abilities and stronger support to get around this, however, making them much more threatening opponents.
• Flechette Storm: Metal Cyclone is effectively a living one, being a storm of metallic shards.
• "Instant Death" Radius: Their DPS is high enough to obliterate practically any Cat that gets in range, so this applies to any unfortunate Cats that they outrange.
• The Juggernaut: Almost all of them share the same gimmicks (except for Perfect): massive health and damage but very slow move speed, and rapid, devastating attacks that will shred Cats that touch them.
• Long-Range Fighter: The Perfect Cyclone has the longest range of any of them, but has the weakest stats and has a blindspot that's located at around melee range in exchange.
• Non-Indicative Name: White Cyclone is actually Floating, not traitless. It is accompanied by exclusively traitless enemies in its debut stage, however.
• Phlebotinum Killed the Dinosaurs: According to Primeval Cyclone's description, it was the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs.
• Randomly Drops: They only have a 30% chance of dropping their reward Cats.
• Recurring Boss: In addition to their original event stages and the awakening stages for the Cats they drop, they also appear in two-part stages that can be cleared to earn Epic Catfruit, and on some floors of the Heavenly Tower.
• Stone Wall: Aku Cyclone. If you combine both its base HP and Aku Shield HP, assuming that the latter is able to regenerate 3 times, then it has the highest effective HP out of all the Cyclone bosses, being an insane 8.3 million HP. However, its DPS is a bit lackluster for a Cyclone, making it possible to stall it with just a strong enough Eraser and Manic Eraser Cat spam, no status effects required.
• Turns Red: Primeval Cyclone's attack power triples when it's at half health.
• Visual Pun: Since they're all cyclones, they all have a single eye, referencing the expression of "eye of the storm" for the center of a tornado.
• Warm-Up Boss: Red Cyclone and Black Cyclone are intended to be the first two fought. Red Cyclone's combination of types gives it a ton of common weaknesses to regular gacha cats, while Black Cyclone is just weaker than the others and easier to knock around. They introduce the concept of the Cyclones as enemies that can't be fought head-on, but need status effects to defeat.

Advent Bosses

Extremely powerful, unique enemies that show up in limited-time stages. They can be defeated to earn unique units.These include:

• Deadly Advents: Cruel Angel Clionel, Hannya, Queen B, Daboo of the Dead, King Wahwah, and Bakoo.
• Merciless Advents: Puffsley's Comet, Kappy Jr., Evil Emperor Cat, Death Angel Z-Onel, Black Okame, Queen Mother V, Heavenly Herald Papuu, Everlord Wanwan, Doremi, Possessed Empress, and Sathankhamun VIII.
• Brutal Advents: Infernal Tyrant Nyandam and Kappy Kawano.

---

• Action Dad: Kappy Kawano is stated to be Kappy Jr.'s father, and wipes cats out with even stronger Surge attacks than his son. During the final stage on Kawano's map, the two team up.
• Dual Boss:
  • When the Deadly ones reappear in the Heavenly Tower, they're fought in pairs. Clionel teams up with Hannya, Queen B fights alongside three Bakoos, and Daboo comes with Wahwah.
  • Death Angel Z-Onel is unique among the advents because there are two of them in their stage.
• Evil Mask:
  • Hannya started out as a Shy Boy who wore one of these as a joke... only to transform into a flesh-eating demon. That can happen.
  • Sathankhamun VIII was created by a cursed mask to advance the resurrection of the Great Aku.
• Face–Heel Turn:
  • Evil Emperor Cat is Emperor Cat after one of these, having been possessed by elder forest sorceries and transformed into a Relic.
  • Possessed Empress is Princess Cat after she was possessed by supreme evil after opening a cursed grimoire.
• Irony: Queen B's description notes that you shouldn't get too close to her or else you'll face her tragic sting. However, due to the Arbitrary Weapon Range of her attack, getting close to her is exactly what you should do in order to defeat her.
• Light Is Not Good: Cruel Angel Clionel is said to either be humanity’s salvation or its destruction.
• Locked Out of the Fight: Everlord Wanwan's final attack is weak, but will warp any Cats that survive his first two attacks for a whole minute, preventing them from having any impact on the battle at all.
• Long-Range Fighter: With the exception of Puffsley's Comet and Kappy Jr., all of them can attack Cats from a massively long range, though some of them have a shorter standing range.
• No-Sell:
  • Daboo of the Dead resists all negative status effects. He can, however, still be knocked back by the Sniper Cat powerup or the Cat Cannon. Papuu shares these immunities, but she's also immune to waves.
  • As an Obvious Rule Patch to prevent the player from using iCat or Bombercat, Black Okame is immune to freeze.
• Optional Boss: They aren't required to be fought, but drop useful units when defeated.
• Power Nullifier: Queen Mother V and Evil Emperor Cat, being Relics, can both do this. Queen Mother V in particular curses Cats for nearly 2 minutes, essentially permanently disabling their special abilities.
• Promoted to Playable: An odd case. Both Empress Cat and Evil Emperor Cat have Cat Unit counterparts in the form of Princess Cat and Emperor Cat, but they avert the Defeat Equals Friendship trope that most cats with enemy counterparts do, instead being gacha units (Uber Rare and Legend Rare, respectively). As such, it's entirely possible to obtain one of them before fighting or seeing their enemy counterpart (and vice-versa).
• Randomly Drops: They only have a 30% chance of dropping their reward Cats.
• Recurring Boss: After being defeated in their initial stages, they can be re-fought in the awakening stages for the Cats they drop. Some of them also reappear on the final few floors of the Heavenly Tower.
• Splash Damage Abuse: Most of them exploit their Long Distance and Omnistrike attacks, or Waves and Surges, to hit Cats far out of their attack range. The only one that doesn't do this is Hannya.
• Underground Monkey: Many of the Merciless advents are stronger variants of the Deadly ones with new traits and abilities.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: According to her description, Possessed Empress was possessed by supreme evil after unwittingly opening a cursed grimoire in her obsessive research.

---

• Alliterative Name: Gory Groom and Dead Donny Dash.
• Ascended Extra: Downplayed. While they're just event enemies in the mobile game, in Battle Cats POP! on the 3DS, Chief Peng and Dark Emperor Santa appear as recurring enemies.
• Elite Mooks: Enemies such as HaterBaa 2.0 and Chief Peng are much stronger versions of the Mooks that they're a variant of and are Mooks themselves.
• Glass Cannon: HaterBaa 2.0 deals a ton of damage per hit and attacks every second but is so frail that you can easily kill it through Death of a Thousand Cuts, no Critical Hits required.
• Improbable Weapon User: Dead Donny Dash attacks by kicking his shoes into the air and have them fall on enemies, and CTO Seal attacks with a giant stamp.
• King Mook:
  • Gory Groom and Gorilliam are enlarged, boss-like versions of Gory Black and General Gregory respectively.
  • Sunny Celeboodle is a larger version of the much smaller Celeboodle.
• Mean Boss: In Battle Cats POP!, Chief Peng's description notes that he's Salaryman Cat's cruel boss. It might not be entirely unjustified, though, given that some laugh behind his back at his "total focus".
• Mighty Glacier:
  • Mighty Gui Zuli hits a lot harder and has a lot more health than Teacher Bear, the enemy he is a variant of, at the cost of him moving a lot slower.
  • Le'saint possesses a lot of health, is only knocked back upon dying (though it's susceptible to the Knockback ability), and deals heavy damage that gets doubled upon dropping to 50% HP. However, he doesn't move all that fast, being a variant of Le'boin and all.
• Non-Indicative Name: CTO Seal is a variant of Otta-smack-u, not Sir Seal.
• Old Master: Hermit Peng, Master Da Xun, and Mighty Gui Zuli from the Old Guys About Town event are older, much stronger variants of Jackie Peng, Dagshund, and Teacher Bear, respectively.
• Stun Lock: CTO Seal can inflict this on any cat that isn't immune to freeze, since it inflicts a freeze much longer than its attack rate.
• Turns Red: Le'Saint doubles his already high damage upon having his HP lowered to 50%.
• Underground Monkey: All of the Monthly enemies are variants of already-existing enemies.
