Metal Hippoe

Metal Hippoe (メタルカバちゃん, Metarukaba-chan, Metal Hippo-chan) is a Metal variant of Hippoe that appears in Legend Stages, Into the Future, Cats of the Cosmos, and The Aku Realms.
==Enemy==
Metal Hippoe is a stronger version of the regular Hippoe. Its attack rate is faster, and it only takes one damage from non-critical hits. At 100% strength magnification, it has 80 health and two knockbacks. Depending on the stage, it can be either annoying or helpful, which is expanded upon in the lower paragraph.
In some stages, Metal Hippoe can act as an annoying tank, such as in Chubby B. Goode and Prison Destruction, and other times it can be a help for stalling as you build up long-ranged cats, like in Tunafish Trenches or Church of Mercator.
==Strategy==
While it may seem tough when you first encounter it, quick attackers, such as Cow Cat, Mr. and Rocker Cat, are able to easily defeat it due to their quick attack speed. Alternatively, you can use Moneko, Space Cat or Jurassic Cat and hope for a Critical Hit. Catornado absolutely destroys Metal Hippoe due to his very high attack rate. Units with guaranteed Critical chance can help at destroying it quickly, though this may not be necessary given its somewhat weak offense.
Another way is to use its mediocre stats to your advantage. Using slow-attacking units to slowly whittle its health down while you build up a stack of Long-Distance units to use for later. This technique is called “Long-Distance stepping stone” or “LD step stone” for short.
