Aku Cyclone

Aku Cyclone (デビルサイクロン, Debiru Saikuron, Devil Cyclone) is an Aku enemy introduced in The Great Diablo.
==Enemy==
Aku Cyclone moves slowly and deals relatively low damage per hit for a Cyclone, but more than makes up for it with a 1,666,666 HP Shield that regenerates with 100% HP each time it gets knocked back. Since it has 1,666,666 HP itself and gets knocked back 4 times, this effectively quintuples its health if you don't have any Shield Piercing Cats. Its above average range makes it fairly difficult to approach as well.
It is not a Floating enemy, despite appearing to float above the ground.
==Strategy==
If one is to own a unit with Shield Piercing, Aku Cyclone can become much easier to counter depending on the Cat's activation chance, as you will only have to deal with a somewhat weak Shieldless Cyclone that can be slowed down by Cyberpunk Cat. Talented Li'l Macho Legs in particular is a rather accessible option with good range and spammability, for those willing to spend some NP.
Otherwise, since 4/5 of Aku Cyclone's HP is in the form of a Shield that protects it from status effects, the only other way to defeat this enemy is with pure damage. Thankfully, the stage where it is introduced has a chance to drop Aku Researcher, so any future encounters should be much easier to handle.
Bellydance Cat with the Target Aku Talent can be a great Meatshield against Aku Cyclone, as Wrath of Hell (Deadly) and Wrath of Hell (Merciless) only contain Red and Aku enemies. The Cyclone itself doesn't do that much damage either, giving her many opportunities to dodge. If you don't have Bellydancer Cat, make sure your dual Erasers are at a high enough level, as they can also stall this enemy to some extent. The Eraser Trio, (Normal, Manic, and Li'l) however, can permanently stall this enemy when it is by itself. Obviously use other attackers to deal with the support in the stage, some examples being Paris Cat, Can Can Cat, Cameraman Cat, Courier Cat and Pizza Cat.

==Trivia==
*The text on its ring is upside-down katakana which translates as: "A Devil unbeaten by the rain, unbeaten by the wind, bested by neither seal nor summer heat." This is a parody of Kenji Miyazawa's famous poem Ame ni mo Makezu.
*Its description mentioned The Aku Realms before they were added to the game.
*Its blades resemble bat wings.
*Its damage per hit and minimum money drop are both 6,666, referencing the Number of the Beast.
**Its health is also a 1 followed by 666,666.
**Its attack frequency is 6f, unlike most other Cyclones' 5f.
***The other exceptions are The Perfect Cyclone and Primeval Cyclone, which also have an attack frequency of 6f.
