Kabuto Cat (Switch Special Cat)

:Not to be confused with Kabuto Cat (Special Cat) or Kuwagata Cat (Switch Special Cat).
Kabuto Cat is a Special Cat introduced in Patch 1.0.0 in The Battle Cats Unite! It was created as promotional material to advertise the Japanese release of the game and would only be unlocked if the player were to purchase the January 2019 CoroCoro Comic Issue. As of Patch 1.0.6, Kabuto Cat was converted into a login bonus once clearing Korea from the Empire of Cats. As of now, Kabuto Cat remains exclusive to the Japanese (JP) version.

==Strategy/Usage==
Kabuto Cat's usage is rather high due to its strong attributes and how easily accessible the unit is. Since it is given for free in the beginning of the game, the player is essentially given a bulky, high damaging unit without much commitment. Though its usage dwindles somewhat in the Empire of Cats chapter and in the other Main Chapters as there are much better alternatives, it can then serve its main purpose of being a specialized meatshield towards Black Enemies. It can be treated as a budget version of either Nono or Li'l Gau, as it suffices in its role albeit not as great as the units mentioned earlier. Since this unit is in collaboration with CoroCoro, Kabuto Cat's XP costs are low compared to most units, making it easy to achieve User Rank rewards.
Strategizing with Kabuto Cat is rather simple, use when Black Enemies are present. Since it has comparable stats that to a Level 30 Nono CC, it serves as a capable anti-Black meatshield and can hold off the line due to its 40,600 effective HP at max level. Since it does have a sluggish cooldown with about 9 to 6 seconds, it is advised to bring additional meatshields to help defend incoming enemies.
