Uesugi Kenshin (Uber Rare Cat)

Uesugi Kenshin is an Uber Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Sengoku Wargods Vajiras event. She was added in Version 3.0. True Form added in Version 6.9 increases movement speed, attack rate and health. Talents were added in Version 10.3.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Wargod Kenshin at level 10.
Evolves into Immortal Kenshin at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ Strong against Black enemies
+ 100% chance to knockback Black enemies
===Pros===
*Area Attack
*High health and DPS
*Good attack and movement speed
*Fast attack animation
===Cons===
*Mediocre recharge time
*High cost
==Strategy/Usage==
This Uber has great DPS, especially against Black enemies; despite this, she cannot be safely used against Black backliners like Le'noir due to her range. In addition, she also has great speed, damage and health so she can be a great aid in early game.
Her knockback effect against Blacks is more useful than Date Masamune's, due to her fast attacks, guaranteed effect chance and damage amplifier. She can perma-knockback Razorback as long as she is guarded by a decent amount of meatshields.
She is a part of the Hecks Angels Combo, which is great for beating easy stages really fast or cheesing hitbox glitch levels.
===True Form===
Immortal Kenshin is tougher and faster in both movement and attacks, with increased DPS as a result. These improvements change nearly nothing in how she is used, she is just better in every way and can stand up to more enemies and situations.
===Talents===
Health and damage are good to have, especially for a unit that relies on her stats like Kenshin, but nothing groundbreaking. Things get interesting with the Target Relic and Curse Immune talents, however.
Immortal Kenshin, as an anti-Relic, has a lot of value, becoming a near perfect counter to Oldhorn while also having good enough damage and attack rate to easily deal with any relic peons that may get in her way. Keep in mind that a speedy unit with a knockback ability may not always be beneficial to a fight, so, especially if dealing with the likes of M. Ost or Lowkey, it is best to think twice before using her.
Resist weaken is way too situational to be worth the NP, but can be of some use nevertheless, especially if this unit is among your go-to generalists.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Uesugi Kenshin was a part of another Cat Combo called Nemeses.
*This was the first Sengoku Wargod to have a seasonal variant.
*Uesugi Kenshin is normally portrayed as male in some media, but they are also equally portrayed as female. This is largely due to the fact that in real life Uesugi's gender is often debated, with valid arguments for both genders often leaving historians puzzled.
**In this game, the general riding the machine is a she. Although it is also debatable that Uesugi is a he as their Normal Form Description says "Transformed into a dragon through the cursed magic of the Nyanko Engine" Meaning that Uesugi Kenshin is the machine the girl is riding, not the dragon-cat girl herself. On the other hand, their Easter variation does not portray the machine as a sentient being, but rather as an inanimate Easter egg basket machine, meaning only the girl has sentience. 
*Uesugi Kenshin is known for having rivalry with Takeda Shingen during the Sengoku Period. Uesugi Kenshin also had conflicts with other warlords such as Oda Nobunaga.
*The kanji on one of the claws is the first letter in "毘沙門天". This reads "Bishamonten" and is the Japanese name for the Buddhist deity Vaiśravana. As a devotee to Bishamonten, Uesugi Kenshin used the character "毘" on his battle flags.
