Tackey

Tackey (タッちゃん, Tatchan) is a Black enemy that appears in Legend Stages and the Shadow Trial.
==Enemy==
Tackey has low health and few knockbacks for a Black enemy, but its Long Distance attacks can be a handful. It has a moderate attack speed and identical standing range as Dragon Cat, but its attacks hit from 600-850, resulting in a small effective hit area and a large blindspot.
==Strategy==
Defeating Tackey on its own isn't too much of an issue. However, this enemy exists to support melee attackers; its effective range will push back/damage your Cats greatly while they're fighting the melee enemies, hitting your backliners and midrangers. Even with low accuracy, Tackey can greatly damage your cats. However, Tackey has a large blindspot, so if a close-ranged cat (e.g. Jamiera Cat, Awakened Bahamut, etc.) makes its way in, they can deal damage to Tackey unharmed. Tackey thus also serves as an anti-backliner.
Try using units with adequate health to tank at least one hit or fast units like such as Crazed Giraffe Cat or Maglev Cat to enter Tackey's blindspot. If all else fails or is not effective, then consider using cats with the Wave Attack ability. Examples that are usable include Manic Macho Legs, Jellycat, Talented Pizza Cat or Dark Lazer.

==Trivia==
*Tackey may specifically be based on the estuary seahorse, whose Japanese name, 黒海馬 kuroumiuma, literally translates to "black seahorse".
*Tackey's Japanese name, Tatchan, is a reference to the baseball manga Touch (or Tatchi in Japanese).
**"Tatchan" or "Tat-chan" can also be an affectionate nickname for Tatsuya Uesugi, the main protagonist of the story.
**The first line of Tackey's Japanese description is an exact mirror of Tatsuya's role in Touch: after his younger brother Kazuya dies in a traffic accident, he takes over for him and fulfills his childhood friend Minami's dream in Kazuya's stead.
**Tatsuya is referenced by a seahorse enemy because the Japanese word for seahorse is tatsu no otoshigo.
*Ironically, Tackey's projectile is of higher resolution than the enemy itself.
*Tackey and its variants all reference baseball manga with their Japanese names and descriptions.
