==Strategy/Usage==
===Normal Form===
This form is useless by design. Similarly to the other cats from Tales of the Nekoluga, this cat is not meant to be used until it evolves.
===Evolved Form===
While Betrothed Pasalan's DPS seems good on paper for a crowd-controller, it is hampered by the multi-hits such that only one of them reaches maximum range, cutting the effective DPS to farther enemies. Treat it as an occasional breather for the front line when facing tough enemies or as support for your main crowd-controller when there is not enough time to build the stack. While the freeze is quite brief, if timed correctly, it can provide ample time to sneak in a rusher like Awakened Bahamut Cat, or just give enough freeze to let some of the Cats deals damage before being knocked back or outright killed. Its crowd-controlling is inferior compared to trait specific Cats; however, it makes up for it in the ability to freeze any enemy including Traitless just like the normal Balalan Pasalan, with the exception that Betrothed Pasalan has slightly higher damage with a faster attack rate (actually freezing enemies for a little more total time) and very slightly shorter backswing. This is at the cost of a shorter freeze and much shorter range, allowing enemies even with low level wave attacks to hit and render it effectively useless.
All in all, Betrothed Pasalan is a unit that tries to fit into everything but ultimately fails to be impressively good in any part. It does provide freeze to enemy regardless of its trait, has the range just far enough to avoid most enemy attacks, yet its shortcomings such the multi-hit, short freeze uptime, the slow movement speed, low knock-back count and health along with recharge time prevent it to shine outside of its small use niche. It has some use when there is no better alternative to crowd-controllers, especially in stages where multiple dangerous enemies with different traits appear as it is not easy to crowd-control all of them without spending too many slots. However, it is recommended to use other crowd-controller options that are better and more specialized when the stage has little variance in enemy traits.
