==Strategy/Usage==
===Normal Form===
This form is useless by design. Similarly to the other cats from Tales of the Nekoluga, this cat is not meant to be used until it evolves.
===Evolved Form===
Nobilan Pasalan's piercing range is exceptionally high. In fact, he is able to strike 500 past his standing range. This allows him to easily reach past the frontline and hit enemies such as Camelle variants, Cli-One, Nyandam variants and a few others that even other Long Distance units may struggle or need assistance reaching. He can also clear peons fairly well. Another plus to his high range is that on any stage where the boss is pushed against the base, he will always be able to start sniping the base's health, unlike much of his competition.
The problem with Nobilan Pasalan lies in how easily he dies, as he can only rely on a single knockback, which, combined with low health and immunity to knockback and warp, means that he will die and never come back in time once he is reached once. Additionally, reaching him is extremely easy, due to his massive blind spot. For these reasons, make sure to cover his blind spot with something powerful and to meatshield properly.
Nobilan Pasalan can rarely be used for his immunities, but he can have a use against certain wave attackers, or Gardeneel Bros and Henry. Like Li'l Valkyrie and Lasvoss, his immunity to Curse is completely useless due to him lacking any trait-specific abilities.
===True Form===
Mystican Pasalan has half the cost and recharge time. The lowered cost is great as Nobilan Pasalan was quite expensive for what he could do before, but the improved recharge time doesn't help as much, as his recharge time is still abysmally long, albeit shorter. Overall, this True Form fails to address the main issues Nobilan Pasalan had, which are incredibly low survivability and DPS for an Uber Rare Cat.
===Talents===
Although Mystican Pasalan's Talents seem promising, they aren't worth the investment on such an incompetent unit (primarily due to his long recharge time), even in the absence of alternatives.
Mystican Pasalan, as a Sniper, does benefit from having Attack Buff, which slightly improves his DPS. Although his area of effect seems rather impressive with some serious damage, his attack rate is simply too slow for this to actually matter. This also applies to Strong Against Relics. While it does give this unit a proper niche and allows him to utilize his Curse Immunity, his matchups against Relics are situational at best, and absolutely unusable at worst. With a standing range of 500, he can outrange certain annoying Relics like Puffington, Haniwanwan (Wave Immunity), Loris, M. Ost and most notably Othom, but that's as far as it goes. Melee pushers like Sir Rel can quickly get inside Mystican Pasalan' blind spot with him having no way of repelling them, while backliners like Golem Sunfish can whittle him down long before a proper replacement could emerge.
Toxic Immunity, Survive, and Defense Buff are likewise ruined by the unit's poor performance. Survive is the most useful, given his recharge time and singular knockback. Repositioning once does dramatically improve his longevity, but that's as far as it gets. No Relics currently employ Toxic, restricting it to stages which mix Relics with Toxic attackers, such as Poison on Rice, though even then far superior options exist. Defense Buff is nearly useless, given the unit isn't durable to begin with.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Appears to be be a cat-like creature with a mustache which extends during his attack animation. Also has somewhat of a cynical vibe to him.
*Evolved Form: Appears to be floating in a meditative stance and rambling. Has noticeable linkages on his neck, ankles, and wrists which extend his limbs during his attack animation. Attacks by slamming his hands forward then follows up with stomping his feet on the ground. Also has a much larger mustache.
*True Form: Now wears a turban and cape, has an extra swirl in his crotch area and his ears seem to get longer. Dust cloud in attack animation is notably bigger.
==Trivia==
*Nobiru (伸びる) means "stretch", "extend" or "lengthen" in Japanese.
*Nobilan Pasalan's attack animation references three of the other Pasalans: his arms reference Tesalan Pasalan, his long neck references Kubilan Pasalan and his legs reference Asilan Pasalan.
**Nobilan Pasalan's arms and legs are longer than Tesalan Pasalan's and Asilan Pasalan's respectively, beating them at their own gimmicks aesthetically.
*Nobilan Pasalan is currently the tallest unit in the game, as seen during the second part of his multi-hit, where he stands up.
*Nobilan Pasalan has the second-longest piercing range of all cats, tied with Cat God the Great, as both of them are able to hit 500 range past their standing range. The 6th Angel is in first place, with twice as much.
*Mystican Pasalan appears to be a reference to The Hero from Dragon Quest V, as both wear similar turbans and capes and Mystican Pasalan's Japanese description suggests that he may be a wandering monster tamer.
**Mystican Pasalan's accessories are also reminiscent of Ging Freecss from Hunter × Hunter.
