Benevolent Souma (Uber Rare Cat)

Benevolent Souma is an Uber Rare Cat that was added in Version 8.6 and can be obtained by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Shoumetsu Toshi Collaboration Event. True Form added in Version 11.5 grants target Floating and increases its chance to slow and weaken to 100%. Talents were added in Version 12.3.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Souma & Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Cat-Eared Souma at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ 50% chance to slow and weaken Angel and Alien enemies [Normal, Evolved]
+ 100% chance to slow and weaken Angel, Alien and Floating enemies [True]
===Pros===
*Good DPS
*Good range
*Many knockbacks
===Cons===
*Low health
*Long attack rate and animation
==Strategy/Usage==
Souma's range of 440 is appealing, especially against many melee Alien and Angel enemies. With this, he can stand safely to slow and weaken many otherwise threatening enemies. However, as each status condition only has a 50% chance of occurring, he cannot always be relied on, and should instead be used as backup for more consistent de-buffers such as Talented Sanzo, Psychocat and Seafarer. 
His damage also allows him to function as a decently strong backline attacker, in a similar way as Bahamut Cat.
===True Form===
Cat-Eared Souma now targets Floating enemies, where his range of 440 grants him many more targets. These include most variants of Teacher Bun Bun and even the Cyclones. In fact, the only Cyclones that he can't really control are The Perfect Cyclone because of range and those Cyclones outside of his target traits (Zyclone, Primeval Cyclone, Aku Cyclone). 
Additionally, his crowd control abilities are guaranteed, thus making him far more reliable at stalling. In fact, with Slow-boosting Cat Combos and Treasures, he can even perma-slow enemies that he can outrange, thus improving his usage tremendously and letting him serve as the main support unit instead of backup for other crowd controllers.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Similar to Yuki, Souma is constantly floating. In this form, Souma is seen as a young boy, which was the same way he looked like before the Annihilation. For his attack animation, he summons Taiga's Tamashii to launch a fiery attack, who does so from his right hand. Note: A Tamashii is like the soul of another person. Taiga is one of the people that accompanies Souma on his Journey.
*Evolved Form: Same as above, but with a small cat on his left. When attacking, both Souma and the cat go into a pose to summon a Tamashii. For their attack animation, they summon Dark Emperor Nyandam to launch a fireball from his finger.
*True Form: Gains white cat ears and a white cat tail.
==Trivia==
*Souma's True Form evolution description states that he "gains the Weaken ability", despite already having it.
