Evangelist Cat (Uber Rare Cat)

:For other uses, see Filibuster Cat (disambiguation).
Evangelist Cat is an Uber Rare Cat that was added in Version 2.0. In the Japanese version of the game, it was unlocked via serial codes that were found exclusively on PONOS employee business cards, however, this method no longer works due to this function being removed in Version 4.3. In the Korean version, a time-limited event would give players a 10% chance to obtain said unit. As of now, it is only available in The Battle Cats Unite! and replaces Filibuster Cat X as it is the clear reward from clearing Cats of the Cosmos. In Version 1.0.6, it was given the ability to target Zombie enemies.

===Cons===
*Very low health and attack power

*Very long recharge time
==Strategy/Usage==
Evangelist Cat shares many similarities with the Uber Rare Cat Balalan Pasalan, inflicting a guaranteed freeze from long range, having negligible attack and defense power, and recharging extremely slowly. Evangelist Cat has a longer freeze duration, faster movement speed, and a very cheap production cost, but otherwise behaves in a nearly identical manner.
With his ability and weak stats, Evangelist's main purpose is to briefly stop a group of enemies, which is helpful against groups of enemies with high DPS, like Crazed and Awakened enemies, provided you have a serious defense setup. As his stats are so terrible even at level 50, Evangelist needs proper meatshielding to protect him. Due to his long recharging time, it's rare to see a second Evangelist during a battle.
Due to having low survivability and no immunities, it is highly inadvisable to use him against Mini-Wave, Wave, Mini-Surge, or Surge enemies. However, he is mostly safe from all but the longest-reaching ones, due to his insane range of 1,000.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Looks like a monster from a sci-fi film. It strongly resembles an alien life form of some kind, possibly inspired from Pokémon's Mewtwo or Dragon Ball Z's Frieza.
*Evolved Form: Has the acronym C.A.T. inscribed on its head and gains laser goggles that strongly resembles Marvel's Cyclops's laser glasses. Attacks by charging the same dark orb of energy that Bahamut Cat uses, then forcing it to detonate in a large, albeit visually weak burst.
==Trivia==
*The "legends" that Evangelist Cat's description mentions are the PONOS employees who had the serial code on their business cards.
*Though Evangelist Cat is unobtainable in the English version, he could be unlocked via hacking but lacks an entry in the Cat Guide.
*It could be speculated that the reason why Filibuster Cat X is not obtainable in The Battle Cats Unite! is due to the fact he was added much later during the original release of the game. Evangelist Cat's unlock requirement may have also inspired Filibuster Cat X's clear requirement.
*Evangelist Cat is one of the cheapest Uber Rare Cats in the game only being behind Chicken Cat—a unit that was removed from the game's code and was never obtainable to begin with—and unobtainable unit Cheetah Cat.
*Evangelist Cat and PPT48 are the only Uber Rare Cats that have unusual level-up costs.
*Evangelist Cat's design was used as a base for Filibuster Cat X. The two also have similar roles and abilities, but Evangelist Cat freezes all enemies except for Metal enemies whereas Filibuster Cat X only freezes Traitless enemies.
*Evangelist Cat is the only non-Special Cat to be obtained via serial code and the only Uber Rare besides Chicken Cat and Cheetah Cat to not drop from Rare Cat Capsules.
*Evangelist Cat's design is inspired from Frieza's True Form from Dragon Ball Z. Its attack also references Frieza's Death Ball.
*In The Battle Cats Unite!, this unit's Normal and Evolved Forms' names are "Filibuster Cat α" and "Filibuster Cat β" respectively.
