==Performance==
+ Immune to Waves, Surges, Slow, Freeze, Knockback, Weaken and Warp
- Kamikaze

*Very high movement speed
*Low cost
===Cons===
*Short attack animation
*Single Attack
*Low attack power
==Strategy/Usage==
Stone Cat has very high health for its cost but despawns moments after executing its attack. It is optimal for holding meatshield line in that half a second when a powerful enemy unleashes an attack, such as Advent bosses with Omni Strike like Daboo and Black Okame or Surge enemies like Lord of Ruin Jagando, Kappy Jr. or St. Dober to delay their advance. This emergency line of defense is also usable on CyberFace, Brollows, and most other slow-attacking or hard-hitting enemies, or even a heavily buffed Gauntlet Colossus if given the chance.
Due to its short attack animation, Stone Cat won't stick around for more than the minimum time, though its immunities are effective in preventing it from being destroyed or delayed before reaching the frontlines. Like Capsule Cat, he can also be used for starting certain enemies' attack animations; this is useful against ranged foes such as THE SLOTH or Director Kurosawah to waste their attack, allowing you to send other units to cripple them.
Stone Cat's usage can also be drastically improved with Research Up Cat Combos like Biohazard, Bony Bone, Cheating Heart, Kimono Champs and Bad Guys, with a recharge time more similar to some of your anti-trait specialist meatshields like Shigong Cat or Ramen Cat, offering universal defense with far greater potential when your meatshields just wouldn't cut it, if not completely demolished by the enemy composition. This cat is also ideal for taking out isolated, low-magnification Assassin Bears, as it has a massive amount of health, high speed and only one knockback, whilst dealing just enough damage to kill them immediately.
