Strike Unit R.E.I. (Uber Rare Cat)

:For other uses, see Rei (disambiguation).
Strike Unit R.E.I. is an Uber Rare Cat that was added in Version 5.4 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Air Busters event. True Form added in Version 10.2 improves her attack rate and resistance to Floating enemies. Talents were added in Version 11.0. In the Nintendo Switch version, she only appears in the SUPERFEST event in the JP Version and UBERFEST on the weekends only in the SEA Version.

==Strategy/Usage==
Strike Unit R.E.I. is very well-balanced overall. She can be seen as the Pai-Pai of anti-Floating Cats, except with lower viability outside of her specialization. Take note of R.E.I.'s high speed and below-average range (for an Uber Rare Cat), as she can put herself in peril against long-ranged enemies like Le'noir or go ahead of your meatshields. R.E.I. has the same range as Dragon Cat and should be protected well because of this. 
Her immunity to slow trivializes Queen B but has little usage elsewhere, as the only other non-collab Floating enemy that can slow is Bears Be Back, which come with four other nasty effects and have the same range as R.E.I.; and the only stages to use Croakley with Floating enemies are Broadband Omens and False Resurrection.
===True Form===
Flight Unit R.E.I. addressed her significant problem of attack rate, making her more usable as a generalist and against Floating enemies. Additionally, she is now Insanely Tough against Floating Enemies making it that much more likely for her to finish her attack before being interrupted. Overall, her True Form is a great improvement that makes her a considerably more valuable unit for a relatively cheap Catfruit cost.
===Talents===
Flight Unit R.E.I.'s first Talent of note is Freeze, which works particularly well for her; this ability has a very good chance of triggering at 40% as well as a very ideal freeze duration: any longer and enemies knocked back by her powerful attacks would return in her range after a second attack, which would be problematic. Immunity to Toxic makes her a very good counter to Gobble, Zollow and Heavenly Herald Papuu. Survives is excellent too, as she has enough range to stay out of trouble for a good amount of time. As she relies on her stats to be of any use, the Defense and Attack Buffs are also a good idea to get if you've already used Catseyes to boost her level.

*Normal Form: A levitating Cat-like humanoid robot with an overall white color. Small thrusters are seen on her back with the face of a Cat on the front. Has blue ears and two blue blades that go down from the waist. Her tail appears to be a cable with a glowing blue capsule on its end.
*Evolved Form: Similar to normal form but general color changes from white to black. She gains more powerful thrusters that resemble a jet pack as well as wings. The number of blue blades doubles, and her ears become longer. The capsule on the end of her tail glows stronger.
*True Form: Similar to previous forms but has a mix of black and white parts instead of a single main color. The blades are now connected and are larger, and the wings have blue ends. The capsule on the end of her tail becomes longer and is even brighter.
