Merc (Special Cat)

:This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy, see Merc & Cat.
Merc is a Special Cat that was added in Version 2.2.9 and can be unlocked as a Stamp Reward during the Merc Storia Collaboration Event. True Form added in Version 6.2 increases her health and Critical Hit chance, and shortens her cooldown and backswing.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Merc CC at level 10.
Evolves into Merc & Cat CC when obtained from Merc Awakens! (may drop on the first stage but guaranteed on the second) and is level 20 or above.
==Performance==
+ 2% chance to perform a Critical Hit (20% chance in True Form)
===Pros===
*Fast movement speed
*Very short foreswing
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Extremely low health
*Low damage, DPS, range and knockback count
*Slow attack rate
*Long cooldown
*Very low Critical chance [Normal, Evolved]
==Strategy/Usage==
It is recommended that you absolutely not use Merc in these forms, as she has very low stats, even at level 50, an abnormally long cooldown, and a very low chance to perform a Critical Hit.
===True Form===
Merc's True Form immediately helps her way more than her previous forms, increasing her health, reducing her cooldown to around 20~11 seconds, and gaining a 20% chance to perform a Critical Hit. However, her health and damage still remains low, resulting in her not being able to tank much from mid-game and late-game Metal enemies, meaning that even with her True Form, she will not be of too much use. 
Her damage can pick off pesky peons such as Metal Doges or Metal Hippoes, but those peons spawn in swarms, which overtime, overwhelm Merc due to her Single Target. Her most usage may come from being able to damage unbuffed Metal One Horns, as they have low health paralleling her low damage; in stages that only spawn one such as Compass Mound, this can be a good thing if you are lucky. She can also be used in Aguham as your critter, as there are not many good options to take out Metals with a "Specials Only" restriction. Overall, Merc and Cat CC gains notable buffs, but none solve her original issues, so only use her if you’re feeling lucky and got energy to spare, as she’s not the best choice. 
Also, against CyberFace, she can be used to one shot and destroy him if the timing and RNG is correct, but she still is not the most reliable option for critting, as well as the fact that many other rush strategies have been made for Steel Visage.
