Vars (Uber Rare Cat)

Vars is an Uber Rare Cat that was added in Version 2.2.3 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Lords of Destruction Dragon Emperors event. True Form added in Version 5.1 increases health, attack power and range. Talents were added in Version 8.2.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Dragon King Vars at level 10.
Evolves into God-Emperor Vars at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ 50% chance to knockback Black enemies
+ 50% chance to slow Black enemies for 5 seconds
===Pros===
*Area Attack
*High health, range and DPS
===Cons===
*High cost
*Long cooldown
==Strategy/Usage==
Vars is a reliable backliner in general. His anti-Black ability is also a nice addition. Despite Bombercat doing the job much better, Vars' range advantage allows him to hit Black enemies that have few knockbacks and/or high range, as in the case with Le'noir, Razorback and Casaurian Darkjo, impeding them with his knockback ability if it does activate. His slow ability is universally useful, as his DPS, while decent, tends not to kill aggressive Black pushers easily. Though he does require proper support and therefore won't work alone, Vars does make the job much easier for your specialists like Pizza.
===True Form===
God-Emperor Vars gains increased health, damage and range. The stat boosts simply improve his general uses and while the minor range bonus may seem insignificant, Vars can now outrange certain backliners like Master A. and THE SLOTH (451/450 < 460), making him useful against them if you lack options.
===Talents===
Vars' Relic target talent and Curse Immunity are surprisingly useful, given many Relics have similarly long range and can be difficult to ward off with brute force alone due to their very high stats. His 460 range makes him useful against pushers like Relic Bun-Bun, M. Ost and backliners like Othom, as he can stay out of their range and consistently hinder their advance.
On the other hand, Vars' remaining talents are not as useful. Although Vars does have decent stats, Catseyes are better at boosting them, and his knockback ability's 50% chance is already sufficient for what he does.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A knight cat holding a spiked lance/spear riding a flying dragon. The dragon has a plated body and a bladed tail. Attacks by jabbing the enemy with the lance/spear-like weapon.
*Evolved Form: The cat has better armor, its helm covers its face and it has a larger spear. The dragon grows large horns on its head and now has spiked wings, a sharper body, and a sharper tail.
*True Form: The cat's armor turns black, the spear is replaced with a halberd, larger still and the same colour as the helm. It follows a pattern with an orange glow. The dragon follows the black and orange color scheme of the God-Emperors, and the tail represents an ornamental blade or perhaps a sheath.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Vars was a part of two other Cat Combos: Valorous and Dragon Emperors.
*Unlike other units in his respective set, Vars is not a dragon - rather, Vars is the knight saddling on an unnamed dragon and attacks in place of it.
*In Nyanko Ecology Report Special Edition, it was revealed that Vars's name is a reference to "Balus", the spell of destruction in the Studio Ghibli movie Castle in the Sky, itself derived from the Turkish word barış (meaning "peace"). The reference is much more obvious in Japanese, in which both Vars and Balus are written as バルス (Barusu).
*His choice of weapon may be a reference to the wyvern-riding Dragoons in Final Fantasy, who fight using spears and lances. In BCJP, Vars's name also includes the Japanese name of the Dragoon class, "Dragon Knight" (竜騎士).
*Dragon King Vars's mount closely resembles a Diablos from the Monster Hunter series, while Nightmare King Vars's could be inspired by the Black Diablos subspecies.
