Cat Gunslinger (Rare Cat)

Cat Gunslinger is a Rare Cat that was added in Version 3.0 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule. True Form added in Version 7.0 greatly increases health, damage, range and slowdown duration. Talents were added in Version 8.1.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Cat Eastwood at level 10.
Evolves into Rodeo Cat at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ 30% chance to slow Black enemies
===Pros===
*Good range
*Decent attack speed
*Decent cost and recharge time 
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Mediocre health and attack power
==Strategy/Usage==
Cat Gunslinger can slow black enemies one at a time, while its targets are typically spawned in groups. He is thus only recommended for bosses like the Black Cyclone and Razorback. Try to form a stack before engaging the enemies and work on keeping the frontline clear. Alternatively, he could be used alongside the more reliable Bombercat as an emergency second line of crowd-controllers. However, very few black enemies are immune to freeze, and those who aren't usually fall to Pizza, who can kill them outright, negating the purpose to use Cat Gunslinger in the first place.
===True Form===
Rodeo Cat gains higher stats and more notably, more range and longer slow duration. However, he still lacks area attacks which hinders his performance against large swarms of black enemies. It's recommended to invest in this True Form if you wish to unlock Cat Gunslinger's Talents.
===Talents===
Once he is given Relic Target, his use is expanded to Relic enemies in early Uncanny Legends stages and Typhoon Nemo. His effectiveness remains limited due to single-target attacks, but he can at least do well at slowing Relic Bun-Bun and Primeval Cyclone. Attack and Health Up have little value, but health up, combined with Curse Resist, can at least improve Rodeo Cat's use further in a noticeable way. Improving the recovery speed is also important to facilitate stacking, since the slow chance is too low for his attack rate.
===Orb===
Its low health and damage, as well as a bad overall compatibility to Black enemies make equipping any orb nigh pointless. In theory, a relic defence orb might work, but due to relic's extreme damage output it is unlikely to make much of a difference.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Cat Gunslinger was a part of two other Cat Combos: Crackshot and Triggermen.
*Cat Eastwood is an obvious reference to actor Clinton "Clint" Eastwood.
*Cat Gunslinger's and Cat Eastwood's Japanese descriptions have almost the opposite tone, with Gunslinger's about serving justice, and Eastwood's being about self-protection.
