Professor A.

Professor A. (教授, Kyōju, Professor) is a Red variant of Master A. that appears in Legend Stages.
==Enemy==
Professor A. has even higher DPS and 50 more range than Master A. along with a 20% chance to slow units on hit. 
==Strategy==
Professor A. is an extremely annoying support enemy with his high range, constant attacks, good health and significant damage, meaning the usual roster of anti-Reds will never get to him. Naturally, his biggest weakness lies in units that outrange him, especially Long Distance Cats that can hit him behind other enemies. Dark Emperor Catdam, Crimson Mina and Prisoner Cat are great non-gacha ways to get rid of him in his earlier appearances. If Professor A. has support, try and bring him down first as it's far easier to kill an unprotected Professor A. than one with waves of tough enemies to fight for him, unless of course you use them as "stepping stones" for Long Distance/Wave/Surge Attackers. An exposed Professor A. is also vulnerable to a sufficiently upgraded Thunderbolt Cannon, which can buy enough time for units like Awakened Bahamut Cat to deal good damage to him.
Fried Shrimp Cat and Talented Ultimate Bondage Cat can be used as another strategy. Their adequate recharge times and anti-Red abilities (weaken + resistance/strong + freeze) allow them to easily pin Professor A. and prevent him from pushing, with Talented Ultimate Bondage's freeze stopping Professor A. entirely so your other units can stand a chance.

==Trivia==
*Unused sprites for this enemy were in the game as early as Version 4.2, quite some time before his formal introduction in Version 5.5. However, he was named "Bloodsucker" and was visually just a Red palette swap of Master A.
*The "University of Yamaraashi" in his Japanese description may be a pun on the University of Yamanashi, with the joke being that Yamaarashi means porcupine (referring to his spiky appearance).
*In the Korean version, he's described as a sensual novelist who got popular through a book involving a girl's puberty titled "Love Through SNS" (사랑은 SNS로), became a professor in Nyanko University's Department of Korean Language and Literature, and is on the way to becoming a wizard, as in the Internet slang term "wizard" referring to a virgin over the age of 30.
*In The Battle Cats Unite, this enemy is event-exclusive, being only located on Floor 29 of the Heavenly Tower.
