Fencer Cat (Super Rare Cat)

Fencer Cat is a Super Rare Cat added in Version 6.6 that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule. True Form added in Version 8.2 increases his health and attack power marginally, as well as greatly shortening his attack animation and increasing his attack rate. Talents were added in Version 10.3.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Kendo Cat at level 10.
Evolves into The Kitty of Liberty at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ 100% chance to break Barriers
===Pros===
*Good health and attack power
*Decent recharge time
*Short attack animation [True]
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Long attack animation [Normal, Evolved]
*One knockback
==Strategy/Usage==
Fencer Cat is good to bring along for Cats of the Cosmos where you need to destroy that single Barrier. The likes of Le'Solar, Youcan, UltraBaaBaa and Kid Tappa can all be made much easier with it gone. Wave Shields should be used in tandem against Youcan, as Fencer does not have Wave Immunity.
Fencer Cat is not only good as a Barrier Breaker, though; he can also be used as a decent ranged attacker if boosted, due to his high attack power and lower cooldown than King Dragon Cat. This comes at the cost of lower range.
Though his attribute of having just one knockback may seem to hinder him (since ranged attackers usually use knockbacks to escape attacks and reposition), Fencer Cat can tank attacks that would otherwise knock back other ranged attackers and retaliate, in a similar way to Kung Fu Cat. This does in fact allow him to benefit more from the Barrier Breaker ability, as he will hold position and get the essential hit in, which can easily turn a losing battle in your favor, such as when against the formidable Youcan if Breakerblast doesn't work for you.
===True Form===
The Kitty of Liberty has greater health, attack power, increased attack rate, and a faster attack animation. These performance improvements do a great deal of help for his main niche, barrier breaking. To start off with the improved health and attack power, they are both pretty minor and about 2k each, nothing too special, other than his DPS jumping from 3.2k to 4.7k. For the attack rate, it was lowered by 30 frames (aka 1 second), this is not that much of an improvement at first glance, but when combined with the faster attack animation, which is by 30 frames for the foreswing and 2 frames for the backswing, it becomes apparent that Fencer Cat gets a lot of improvement out of this True Form.
===Talents===
The Kitty of Liberty has knockback, Immune to Warp, Resist Curse, and the standard Health and Attack Buffs as their talents. Knockback is a useless ability, as it pushes targets away from the line of fire. Immune to Warp is also useless, as it denies the unit any chances to reposition through such effects. Resist Curse also does nothing, as it's only really useful with Knockback since Curse does not disable Barrier Breaker. Stat buffs are fairly superfluous unless you plan on using him similarly to Kung Fu Cat. Even then, using Catseyes first is recommended. His single target nature, however, means you're better off investing elsewhere.

==Trivia==
*The Kitty of Liberty is a direct reference to the Statue of Liberty.
*He uses his right hand to hold his weapon in battle, while his cat unit icon has him using his left hand to hold his weapon.
**This plus his description may be a vague reference to Inigo Montoya, who is also a master fencer, from the book and 1987 movie The Princess Bride, who uses his left hand at first but switches to his right later in battle.
