==Strategy/Usage==
===Normal/Evolved Form===
Cat Clan Heroes are cheap to produce and spammable for Uber standards, as well as being able to deal fair damage with rebound attacks, making them a decent all-round Uber. Their Critical attack chance is very low (3%) and not to be relied upon. However, if you get lucky, it can deal a decent amount of damage to all enemies, especially Metals.
In terms of Cat Clan Heroes' survivability pre-True Form, they are immensely lacking, as they only have three knockbacks, a low standing range of 350, and only 24k HP at level 30, which is very bad for their standing range. On another note, their weaken ability is prone to being taken advantage of by many enemies; primarily due to their low uptime, which only lasts for half of their attack rate, meaning their ability to crowd-control is barely useful, and is outclassed by Thaumaturge Cat due to her spammability and Talents.
===True Form===
Cat Quest Heroes gain Relic targeting, Curse immunity, a longer weaken duration and doubled HP. The Relic targeting expands their usage on to Relic enemies, and their Curse immunity ability further solidifies this, being critical to many higher-difficulty Legend Stages that back their target traits with Relics. Doubled health greatly increases their survivability, and they really need it to handle the extreme DPS of the enemies faced by this point. 
The weaken is only improved by one second, but it's an improvement nonetheless, considering their low recharge time can allow them to be stacked in certain stages. Overall, this True Form is worth getting, as anti-Relic debuffers are incredibly useful in Uncanny Legends and exceedingly rare to come upon. With this being said, this True Form is not a high priority use of your Elder Catfruit, as certain Legend Cats and Slapsticks Cats will improve significantly more. Luckily, they have an advantage wherein they only need an Elder Seed instead of the entire fruit, although they also require an Epic Seed as well.
For obvious reasons, the increase of one second for their weaken duration only slightly fixes the initial problem, so the only real prompt to get their True Form is for their new targeting.
===Talents===
Dodge grants Cat Quest Heroes improved survivability, though it is luck-based. Toxic Immunity also improves their survivability against enemies with Toxic attacks, though when it comes to their target traits, this would only work against Gobble, Zollow and Casaurian Darkjo. Even then, however, these enemies already have a large number of designated counters, amongst them cheap and disposable alternatives, meaning it costs too much for what it does.
Resist Weaken is a waste of NP. Cat Quest Heroes are typically used for weakening enemies, meaning weaken effects don't impact their utility as much. Defense Buff and Attack Buff are mediocre improvements. Again, while it is usually good to have higher stats, Catseyes are often the way to go. Since they don't work well as attackers, it is recommended not to invest in these at all.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A group of four people, each one resembling a certain Cat (1 Normal, 3 Rare). The leftmost one looks like a human in Brave Cat armor with spiky, jet-black hair. The middle-left one is a burly guy resembling Viking Cat, with a hammer strapped to his left shoulder and a Cat riding on his right. The middle-right one is a young-looking girl dressed like Bishop Cat, with several braids behind her head. The rightmost one is an old wizard in Witch Cat's outfit, riding on a similar broom and possessing Sorceress Cat's staff and crow.
*Evolved Form: The group, except the leader, are all riding on a bandwagon, and the party now boasts many more members than before, with Thief Cat, Cat Gunslinger, Onmyoji Cat, Sword Master Cat, Captain Cat, Fortune Teller Cat, Jurassic Cat and Shaman Cat. The initial four are still here, but three of them have changed comedically: Bishop is now hiding in a barrel, Witch is hiding inside the wagon, Viking is dead and the Cat that was on Viking is on his grave.
*True Form: The bandwagon is replaced by a wooden ship attached to a blimp with an upper deck. The ship has a ladder to the main deck and a cannon to the front. In the back of the deck is a staircase up to the forecastle. Almost all of the members have now "leveled up", even the dead Viking.

==Trivia==
*The characters presented in its Evolved Form represent Rare Cats with a similar ability (anti-Red, anti-Floating, anti-Black and Critical Hitter), while the Normal Form only has anti-Red and anti-Floating.
*All the heroes are based on Rare Cats from the Rare Cat Capsules, except the "Chosen One", who is a Normal Cat.
*Along with Lasvoss, the Cat Clan Heroes are inspired by JRPGs, especially Dragon Quest.
*The King of Evil mentioned in their Normal Form's description is likely either a reference to Lasvoss or Infernal Tyrant Nyandam.
*The "Chosen One" in the first form resembles the Hero from Dragon Quest III.
*The Demon King mentioned in Cat Clan Heroes' Japanese description may be Infernal Tyrant Nyandam, whose Japanese name can be translated as Great Demon King Nyandam.
*They are the first Uber Rare Cat whose True Form requires Catfruit Seeds. This may be a reference to how they consist of humanoid versions of different Rare Cats, which in turn also require Seeds and few fruits.
