Wave Attack

Wave Attacks (also known as Waves or Shockwaves) are a Special Ability in The Battle Cats. They can be created by certain Cat Units and Enemy Units at a set chance.
==Explanation==
Wave Attacks hit all enemies/cats in their range, but don't affect bases. The damage done by Wave Attacks is the same as a normal attack from their creator. Wave Attacks will retain any special ability/effect that the original attack had.
Wave Attacks have a level, which determines the number of Wave Attack blasts produced. The starting Wave Attack range for enemies is 467.5, which can make a Level 1 Wave Attack hit Bahamut Cat (450 range); whereas for cats, the starting Wave Attack range is 332.5. Each Wave Attack level applies 200 extra range.
==Mini-Wave==
Mini-Wave is an ability introduced in Version 10.1. Smaller and weaker than Wave Attacks, Mini-Waves deal only 20% of their creator's attack power, and move at twice the speed of normal Waves. Unlike Surges, Mini-Waves are counted as the same effect as Wave Attacks, meaning they are resisted by anti-Wave units all the same.
Since the added attack power from Attack Up Talent Orbs is a flat increase that ignores damage multipliers, it will be added on top of the Mini-Wave's damage without being decreased to 20%.

==Notes==
*Wave Attacks have more range than they seem to, with the hitbox reaching further than the Wave Attack visuals. This can be annoying sometimes, as units that should be safe from the waves will still get hit.
*Wave Attacks operate at a delay, and they are a separate hitbox from the attack which triggered them, meaning that if the unit which created the waves is knocked back, the waves will still progress and deal damage independently. This can be seen when Crazed Gross Cat attacks the enemy base in the Challenge Battle, triggering the summon of Assassin Bear, and even though Crazed Gross Cat's attack has ended, the waves still progress forward, killing Assassin Bear.
*Wave Attacks created by Long Distance/Omni Strike units such as Talented CAT-8 Behemoth and Saber Alter will spawn at their creator's standing range.
*There are several abilities that reduce the effect of Wave Attacks:
**Units with "Immune to Waves" abilities take no damage from Wave Attacks. However, they still can take damage from the attack triggering the Wave Attack if they are too close to the attacker.
**Units with "Wave Shield" abilities can stop Wave Attacks entirely. This ability disables the hitbox of wave blasts in contact, meaning that units like Mighty Kristul Muu can protect Awakened Bahamut Cat even if it is behind.
**Units with "Resist Wave" Talents take reduced damage from Wave Attacks. The damage reduction depends on the Talent's level: For most units, this ranges from 5% to 50% reduction.
*Wave Attacks carry any abilities that the original hit has. For example, Kubilan Pasalan's waves knockback non-Metal enemies.
*Wave Attacks are entirely separate from Surge Attacks.
==Trivia==
*Kory is the first character to have Wave Attacks.
*Crazed Gross Cat and Crazed Titan Cat are the first Cat Units to have Wave Attacks.
*Enemy Units will create blue waves, and Cat Units will create pink waves.
*Wave Attacks are identical to the blasts fired by the default Cat Cannon and similar to the Holy Blast. However, Holy Blast is able to hit Zombies that are immune to waves, such as Zapy, whereas the default Cat Cannon can't.
