==Strategy/Usage==
Like the other Ultra Souls, Princess Kaguya has significantly different stats between Normal/Ultra Form (spammable) and Evolved/True Form (high performance), both of which can be used effectively depending on the situation.
===Normal Form===
Use Kaguya to stall Metal and Angel enemies within her range. She is beyond effective against stages like Utopia is Over There. Her strength comes from being extremely cost-efficient and hitting very often, to the point that she can't even be rushed down by a Doge Dark, who would instead be juggled back continuously. However, she lacks in defense, range and offense otherwise, relying on only trait-compatible slow to keep her safe, meaning she can still be reached and wiped out by enemies who can withstand her relatively weak attacks or have greater range. This is less of a problem with recurring Metals as they often have even less range, but she can't always work against Angels, which have several backliners and midrangers like Angelic Sleipnir, Sunfish Jones and Chickful A.
===Evolved Form===
The Death Moon's chance to Slow is generally not enough to be of much use in most situations, so, as long as you are dealing with enemies that can be outranged by Princess Kaguya, you should use her Normal Form. As a high-performance unit, who isn't as replaceable, The Death Moon should be protected by many meatshields. As a frail backliner with long attack windup, she is best suited for non-aggressive approaches with many meatshields or tanks, so it may stay safe in the backlines and land hits often.
===True Form===
Due to her increased range, The Chaos Moon can now target enemies like Master A. and THE SLOTH more safely. Furthermore, her improved ability makes her a much more consistent crowd-controller, now able to, sometimes, outperform her Normal Form against even short-ranged targets.
===Ultra Form===
Kaguya goes back to her first form's low cost and spammable cooldown, though she also goes back to the stats and slow ability of that form (besides health, which is improved). The main buff here, however, is Metal Killer, which adds a GUARANTEED chance to take off 12% of a Metal enemy's current health on every hit. With this ability, Metal Cyclone and Sir Metal Seal can quickly lose most of their health to Ultra Kaguya's rapid Area Attacks with no need to rely on any luck. Considering that this form costs a mere 600¢ and can fully recharge in only 7.2 seconds, these powerful attacks are spammable. This alone would make the Ultra Form a sound investment to anyone who has the resources and struggles with Metals or Single Target attacks.
===Talents===
Remember that Kaguya’s Talent from her True Form carry over to her Ultra Form!
The first Talent you should unlock is most likely Defense Buff, as she will need every bit of health she can get in case an enemy reaches her, though it is more effective to use your Catseyes first. Slow is also quite useful, seeing that she can delay an Angel or two for a bit longer, but it’s only a second more at max, so beware. Attack Buff can also help, but at most it’s just extra chip damage, and Metals won’t even be affected anyway. Resist Slow is, with all Resist Talents, situational and most likely not worth it. Knockback is counterproductive, as it can make hard-hitters miss, and will also likely cause any stack of Ultra Kaguyas you build up to instantly knock away Metals before they can even kill them.
In short, Kaguya’s Talents aren’t the flashiest, but they can give a helping hand to her stats.

*Evolved Form: Kaguya is seen floating in a seat above a large hovering moon-like vehicle consisting of shifting, glowing machinery, along with two bunnies floating alongside on either side of the Moon. Kaguya and the bunnies' floating seats attach to the vehicle when the moon's attack begins to charge. Kaguya's hair is seen flowing when the machine attacks.
*True Form: Same as Evolved Form, but in colour and more detailed. The 3 seats are now rocket-propelled and have 2 more propellers on the sides of each. Kaguya also wears a crown and the bunnies have hats vaguely resembling that of Onmyoji Cat.
*Ultra Form: Returns to Normal Form, but with the color scheme and accessories of her True Form. Attacks by rapidly stabbing with the bamboo stick, the tip glowing as she attacks.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Princess Kaguya was a part of three other Cat Combos: Sun and Moon, Ancient Heroes and Ultra Souls.
*In Version 13.3, Ultra Kaguyas that attacked the same target at once would all do the same amount of damage rather than doing less for each hit, making it possible to kill Metal enemies instantly by stacking and syncing nine Ultra Kaguyas to do 108% damage in a single frame. This was patched out in Version 13.3.1.
*There's a grammar mistake in The Chaos Moon's description. It is supposed to say "That can happen", but instead it says "That can happens".
*The evolution description for the Chaos Moon says it increases all traits, but speed isn’t increased nor is attack speed.
*Ultra Kaguya is the first unit to have the Metal Killer ability.
*Princess Kaguya is based on the traditional Japanese legend The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, also known as The Tale of Princess Kaguya. She originated from a bamboo shoot and was found by a bamboo cutter that was taking down the plant.
**In some iterations of the legend, Princess Kaguya was actually sent from the Moon and ultimately returns, hence the Moon-themed superweapons and the mention of her return in Ultra Kaguya's Japanese description. 
**The Evolved and True Forms keep the reference to Kaguya's folktale through the attack, which causes bamboo to sprout.
*The rabbits next to the Evolved and True Forms may be based on various myths of a Moon rabbit.
*This is actually the second Princess Kaguya in the series. The appeared as the boss of the Moon in Kumanchu Royale, with a different design and a Red sister named (赤・KAGUYA, "Red KAGUYA").
**The one in Kumanchu Royale was named カグヤ姫, while the one in The Battle Cats is かぐやひめ. These are different spellings of Kaguya-hime and directly translate to "Princess Kaguya".
*The Death Moon and The Chaos Moon closely resemble the Death Star, a superweapon from the Star Wars franchise.
