Dolphina

Dolphina (イルカ娘 Iruka Musume, "Dolphin Daughter" or "Dolphin Girl") is a Traitless enemy that appears in Legend Stages and The Aku Realms.
==Enemy==
This enemy has powerful Long Distance attacks that can reach to 350~650 but has merely 150 standing range, which is well within her blind spot. Dolphina also possesses 450k health and extremely fast movement speed, and is nearly always seen in groups. This may all sound insane for an enemy of this caliber, but fortunately she has 30 knockbacks.
==Strategy==
Dolphina's many knockbacks can dramatically increase her survivability, so units with high damage per hit are preferred in most stages. Use strong attackers with short enough range to enter her blind spot, like Dancing Flasher Cat or Crazed Sexy Legs Cat. The best strategy against Dolphina is to use "ranged meatshields" or few or no meatshields and attackers with short range or short attack animations. Ubers with low range like Saber should also be used with this strategy to ensure Dolphina can't hit them at all.
Rushers such as Awakened Bahamut Cat, Li'l Valkyrie, Maglev Cat are best used without meatshields. You can also use tanky units like Artist Cat, Jamiera Cat and Crazed M. Titan Cat to get into Dolphina's blind spot as they will take full advantage of her 30 knockbacks.
Using slow meatshields can be preferrable, but only if they are able to tank at least two hits. This stops Dolphina's attack from being triggered too quickly, similarly to a strategy used against Lord Gravey and Miss Haka, and this gives your cats more time to deal damage to knock her back. If she has support enemies such as the Master A. and Rain Ds in No Return Flights, it is best to either use mid-range cats with high health or spammable mid-range units so they can stack enough to prevent the Dolphinas from ever attacking, which can quickly cripple a stack of cats. Wave Attackers and Surge Attackers can also be very effective, as they usually can fit inside her blindspot.

==Trivia==
*Her Japanese name, Iruka Musume ("Dolphin Girl"), is a reference to the anime and manga Squid Girl, whose Japanese name is Shinryaku! Ika Musume ("Invasion! Squid Girl").
*Dolphina and the first stage she appears in, No Return Flights, both reference songs by folk singer Iruka, whose stage name literally means "dolphin":
**Dolphina's description pulls from the 1975 song "Nagori Yuki", as it mentions riding a train (from Tokyo no less, in her Japanese description), a careless youth, and wasting time without realizing it.
**No Return Flights' Japanese name, Mō Riku ni wa Kaerenai ("Can't Return to Land Anymore") is an obvious play on the title of the 1985 song "Mō Umi ni wa Kaerenai" ("Can't Return to Sea Anymore").
***Both songs are featured in this video.
*Dolphina (and possibly the whole of Cutpurse Coast) were planned for update 5.10, but for some reason, her enemy ID was empty.
*Along with Johnnyleon, she has the lowest standing range of all Long Distance Enemies.
