Nurse Cat (Uber Rare Cat)

Nurse Cat is an Uber Rare Cat that was added in Version 2.9 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule/Gacha during The Dynamites event. True Form added in Version 6.7 increases attack damage, health, range and movement speed. Talents were added in Version 9.8, and Ultra Talents were added in Version 13.1.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Heartful Nurse Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Joyful Nurse Cat at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ 50% chance to knockback Black and Floating enemies
+ 50% chance to slow Black and Floating enemies
===Pros===
*Area Attack
*Good attack power and range
*Fast attack rate
*Good health and movement speed [True]
===Cons===
*Long attack animation
*Mediocre health [Normal, Evolved]
*Slow movement speed [Normal, Evolved]
==Strategy/Usage==
Nurse Cat is very useful to control large groups of Black and Floating enemies, as she can keep them slowed down and knocked back, and strike them again a few seconds after her ability effect passes. She is also useful in stages where you are rushed by fast Floating or Black enemies, like Shy Boy, Razorback and Shadow Boxer K. Her downside is that sometimes her abilities won't trigger, which can be troublesome in some occasions and lead to disaster, so it isn't recommended to rely too much on her as your main crowd-controller.
Outside of CC Nurse can still be of commendable use, as she's capable of providing a semi-constant wall of damage to keep most enemies at bay, all while standing at a rather high range.
===True Form===
Joyful Nurse Cat gains more health, more damage, 25 more range and doubled speed. Most of these are basic improvements that improve this unit's general strength, making her an overall better unit, but her range actually stands out. Despite having her range increased by only 25, this allows her to now outrange notorious backliners like THE SLOTH and Master A., improving her range of usage on the enemies made to counter Bahamut and his 450 range. Overall, a worthwhile True Form if you think Nurse Cat needs some general improvements across the board.
===Talents===
Do not bother upgrading Nurse's damage and health, unless she's your only good generalist, as her stats are quite lacking. Improving her abilities to happen 80% of the times is what makes the difference, allowing her to control crowds of Black and Floating enemies with much more ease, but it still won't make up for the uptime. Lastly, there is Curse Immune, which mainly helps against the Relic Doge Base, but only consider this one if you feel like you are using Nurse in stages that feature it and her targets often.
===Ultra Talents===
The first Ultra Talent unlocks Sage Slayer, which could be useful against Sage of Mind Soractes and Dark Dober to provide CC. However, as of Version 13.3, Soractes and Dark Dober are the only Sage enemies in the game that are affected by Nurse's targeting, and given the investment, Nurse's mediocre abilities, Soractes only appearing in one stage and Dark Dober potentially sniping her with Mini-Waves, it might be better to avoid it in its entirety for now.
Next, she has a level 1 Mini-Surge from 300 to 900 range. While this talent can go up to a guaranteed mini-surge, it requires a lot of NP to reach that point, and even then, the low level and wide spawn range make it far from reliable. The damage increase is barely noticeable based on how many Mini-Surges would be expected to hit the target, so it can only be considered a bonus when it works. It also barely changes her role as a crowd-controller because of how unreliable it is.
Finally, her cost can go down to a minimum of 3,900¢ from her original cost of 4,350¢. This certainly is an improvement, though this is far from enough to be worth the sheer cost of Dark Catseyes and NP.
