Onmyoji Cat (Rare Cat)

Onmyoji Cat is a Rare Cat that was added in Version 4.0 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule. True Form added in Version 6.2 increases health and has a guaranteed chance of weakening non-Metal enemies. Talents were added in Version 10.4.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Magica Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Thaumaturge Cat at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ 50% chance to weaken non-Metal enemies to 50% for 6.67 seconds (100% chance in True Form)
+ Zombie Killer
===Pros===
*Decent range
*High weaken uptime
*Decent health
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Very low DPS
*Long attack animation
==Strategy/Usage==
Weaken is vastly inferior to Slow and Freeze in most cases but what makes Onmyoji Cat unique is her ability to target a wide variety of enemies, even Relics and, more importantly, Traitless enemies. Onmyoji Cat has a useful niche against threats that may otherwise prove impossible to consistently stall, such as R.Ost, Bore, Dober P.D, Crazed Cat and Primeval Cyclone, but she is limited to a single enemy at a time, making her ineffective against hordes and more adequate for "boss fight" kind of stages. She is best paired with units who can clear peons well, like Crazed Gross, as well as tanky meatshields who would really benefit from a less harmful "main source of incoming damage".
===True Form===
Thaumaturge Cat gains improved health and guaranteed weaken. There is thus no longer a risk of allowing the enemy to unleash their full power despite having this cat attacking it, nor is there a need to stack Thaumaturges, unless for safety reasons, since one cat alone is enough to perma-weaken. The difference between an enemy at full strength and a weakened one is incredible, so this True Form is worth unlocking even if it's not universally useful.
===Talents===
Thaumaturge Cat's Talents can be rather useful in certain stages. Immunity to waves allow her use against the likes of Berserkory or Youcan to further reduce their pushing power while being able to pressure them. Resist Freeze prevents Henry from perma-freezing this cat even if the talent is only half upgraded, but there are hardly other situations where this comes into play. Resist Curse, while useful in presence of the Relic Doge Base, is no less situational as Relic enemies can generally kill Thaumaturge outright. Defense Buff may come in handy for surviving an otherwise lethal hit. Attack Buff is perhaps the only talent that is completely useless, as Thaumaturge is never used for her damage.
===Orb===
Thaumaturge does not need any orbs due to being a universal CC unit.

Her staff is much larger and has a design at the top resembling an eye inside a hexagram. To attack, she uses her staff to draw a purple sigil in the air resembling an eye, which then fires a large blast of multicolored flames.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Onmyoji Cat was a part of three Cat Combos: Five Hearts, Witch Please and Bustin' Ghosts.
*Onmyoji Cat's Japanese description could be a reference to the Back to the Future series, which features a DMC DeLorean sports car capable of time travelling.
*Magica Cat's hairstyle and outfit are identical to Creamy Mami's from Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel; albeit grayscale and cat-sized.
**In fact, in Nyanko Defence Force, her hair was the same exact color as Creamy Mami's.
**Magica Cat may also reference Aisha from Elsword.
*Magica Cat's alien contract may be a direct reference to the 'magical girls' in Madoka Magica.
*Thaumaturge Cat's design is a combination of the Dragon Quest characters Hargon (same shroud and pose) and the Dragonlord (same horns).
**Thaumaturge Cat's design may also take inspiration from Maleficent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
*Thaumaturge Cat's staff resembles Kukuri's from Magical Circle Guru Guru, as well as the "evil eye" associated with Aku enemies.
