==Strategy/Usage==
Do not be tricked by this unit's guaranteed Mini Wave, as the scaled down damage of said ability is hardly noticeable to any enemy except the most basic and weakest peons. Her unreliable critical chance causes this unit to usually die before doing anything to some Metal enemies such as Sir Metal Seal or Super Metal Hippoe, due to their high HP they will barely be phased.
However, on the weaker metal side of things, it is mostly a different story, as her Mini-Wave damage is enough to take out Metal Hippoe, Metal Doge, and even CyberFace, along with a faster attack rate than other Neneko variants. With this prospect, you can treat her as a mini E. Kubilan Pasalan, although this doesn't fix her low critical chance, it still gives her much greater usage then a lot of other Neneko variants.
===True Form===
True Love Neneko gains a sizable 44% extra health, as well as a 20% chance to shatter Aku Shields. Thanks to her guaranteed Mini-Wave attacks that reach up to 532 range, this means that 20% of her attacks will get rid of a huge amount of the defenses on tough Akus like Le'Behemoth, Fallen Bear and Wicked Face. 
While this sounds fantastic on paper, in practice she remains a very unreliable Shield Piercer due to a few factors. Despite the increase to her base HP, True Love Neneko remains a rather frail unit relative to her lengthy cooldown, and her range is too low to outrange even Fallen Bear, which forces her to rely on using Aku Doges and Cerberus Kids as stepping stones. Even barring this, however, 20% is a rather low chance to get the Shield Pierce off when compared to far more stackable competition like Aku Researcher and talented Li'l Macho Legs. This is because both of them have considerably faster attacks and cooldowns despite their Single Target. All of this combined leads her to be a subpar choice for a Shield Piercer, and even for those who wish to gamble for her (admittedly devastating) Area Piercing, therein lies the final problem.
True Love Neneko is a ridiculously expensive True Form to acquire, demanding three types of highly valuable Catfruits that could very well take an average player months to obtain or just about never, until she becomes wholly obsolete. These include a Golden/Aku Catfruit that could be better spent on units like Lasvoss Reborn, Glittering Macho Cat or Obliterator Diabolosa. These also include a Golden Catfruit Seed, which can currently only be obtained on Floor 30 of the Infernal Tower. This True Form is thus useless and should only be obtained for collection.
