Miter Saw Cat (Super Rare Cat)

Miter Saw Cat is a Super Rare Cat that was implemented in Version 8.0 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule. True Form added in Version 10.6 increases his health and attack power, and grants a chance to break Barriers. In The Battle Cats Unite!, Miter Saw Cat was added in Version 1.0.4 and could be unlocked when purchasing the Package Version Bonus in either JP or SEA Versions.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Power Saw Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Neo Saw Cat at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ Resistant to Alien enemies
+ Deals massive damage to Alien enemies
+ Immune to Warp
+ 20% chance to break barriers [True]
===Pros===
*Fast attack rate and animation
===Cons===
*Very short range
*Mediocre stats against non-Alien enemies
*Long recharge time
*Single Attack
==Strategy/Usage==
In stages with enemies other than Aliens, Miter Saw Cat tends to be rather useless, with lower health than Artist Cat and more than 6 times the recharge rate. Against Aliens, however, he proves to be pretty useful at his niche; his role is to be a tanker can both deal good damage and absorb numerous hits without having to worry about being teleported away by Starred Aliens.
In certain ways, Miter Saw Cat can be considered the anti-Alien counterpart of Crazed Whale Cat, being a mini-tank and decent attacker against their targeted enemy trait. His 1,200¢ cost is also ideal for Cats of the Cosmos, being able to bypass the restrictions imposed by many of the stages.
If you manage to get Miter Saw Cat during or before Into the Future, he can carry you through most of the Alien-dominated stages, and helps greatly particularly in Chapter 1 Moon, where he can easily get in and damage Cli-One.
Overall, Miter Saw Cat is a well-rounded anti-Alien unit whose impressive DPS, attack rate and health allows him to bulldoze through Aliens or majorly wear down a single target for a while. However, do note that his somewhat low damage per hit may mean that he won't be able to break tougher Barriers. His deployment cooldown is also pretty lengthy, so be mindful on when to summon him.
He is quite a useful warp-immune tank, but it's quite a niche thing, as there are only two relevant units that are threats, Everlord Wanwan and Gardeneel Bros.
===True Form===
Neo Saw Cat's buffs are a straight improvement on what already made Power Saw great. His noticeable health increase, while not enough to give him good generalist usage, makes him significantly tankier against Aliens, and while his base damage increase may appear minimal, his rapid attack rate turns it into a major increase to his DPS. On top of that, his issues with Barriers have been fixed, as his new 20% chance to break them combined with his non-stop attacks makes him a very effective counter to tough Starred Aliens like UltraBaaBaa, Youcan and Le'Solar, his resistance and Immune to Warp allowing him to shatter them uninterrupted. Though the requirement of an Epic Catfruit Seed makes him unlikely to be available before Cats of the Cosmos, where his strengths are most needed, it remains a worthwhile upgrade that enables him to compete with later Starred Aliens in Legend Stages.
These allow Neo Saw Cat to become a very effective anti-Starred Alien tanker when highly leveled. A single Neo Saw Cat can even solo The Wormhole Opens with no problem whatsoever with all superior Cats of the Cosmos treasures obtained.

==Catfruit Evolution==
==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A suited cat driving a small pod-like vehicle with a miter saw on front. On the bottom of the pod, there is a screw which it spins to move and miraculously balances on.
*Evolved Form: The same, now pulling a trailer with a box on it.
*True Form: The color scheme is now gold and black with an extra trailer connected to the one seen in the Evolved Form with a gold and black bucket on it. The screw on the bottom is silver with gold threads now.
==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 11.2, Miter Saw Cat, Driller Cat, Piledriver Cat, Cutter Cat and Backhoe Cat could only be unlocked when "Grandon Mining Corps" was part of the current pool.
*Miter Saw Cat is the only Grandon Mining Corps unit whose Evolved Form's English name isn't just the Normal Form's with "Power" added in front, as it also drops the word "Miter".
*The second line of Miter Saw Cat's Japanese description, "He often cuts worthless objects," is a reference to Goemon Ishikawa XIII's iconic catchphrase in Lupin III, "I've cut yet another worthless object."
*The second line of Neo Saw Cat's Japanese description, "Synchro rate with the machine has increased to infinity," is a reference to the synchronization rates in Neon Genesis Evangelion, particularly the scene in Evangelion: 3.0 + 1.0 Thrice Upon a Time where Shinji's synchro rate with Eva Unit-01 is revealed to have reached infinity.
*Miter Saw Cat could be seen in Subterra Guardians' attack animation before he was added to the game, albeit with a darker color scheme, two pilots instead of one, and the number "05" instead of "10".
