Cat Combo

**Cat Combos** (猫のコンボ) is a feature exclusive to Cats that help them destroy your army of Doges in interesting ways. These arrange from stat changes to the amount of Cats allowed in a stage.

## Functions

Cat Combos work weirdly. If specific Cats are seen in a stage, a Cat Combo may activate. The bonus depends on the Combo. Every Combo has a certain Power Level. This decides how big the bonus is. All Power Levels are: Small (Sm), Medium (M), Large (L) and Extra Large (XL). The amount that it increases depends on the function of the Combo. Below you will see all functions (Also known as Combo Effects) of the Cat Combos.

### Unit Attack Up

**Unit Attack Up** (ユニットアタックアップ) increases the amount of damage delivered when a Cat damages a Doge. Small (Sm) increases the Damage Output by 10%, Medium (M) increases the Damage by 15%, Large (L) increases it by 20% and Extra Large (XL) by 30%. These are pretty common to encounter in rough stages due to the annoyance of the extra damage.

### Unit Defense Up

**Unit Defense Up** (ユニットディフェンスアップ) increases the amount of damage Cats can take from Doges. Small (Sm) increases the HP by 10%, Medium (M) increases the HP by 20%, Large (L) increases it by 30% and Extra Large (XL) by 50%. Its use is often used in stages where something needs to block the Doges from moving forward.

### Unit Speed Up

**Unit Speed Up** (ユニットスピードアップ) increases the speed of Cats, allowing them to move faster. Small increases the speed by 10%, Medium by 15%, Large by 20% and Extra Large by 30%. This is often annoying when rushers go through your defenses incredibly quick and you have no say in it.

### Cannon Start Up

**Cannon Start Up** (キャノンスタートアップ) decreases the time it takes for the Cat Cannon to be ready. This is only for starting it up, however. (Sm) decreases it by 20%, (M) by 40%, (L) by 60% and (XL) by 100%. This is to prevent you from beating a stage incredibly quick, but it often isn't a real threat.

### Cat Cannon Power Up

**Cat Cannon Power Up** (キャットキャノンパワーアップ) increases the amount of Damage the Cat Cannon does. (Sm) increases it by 20%, (M) by 50%, (L) by 100% and (XL) by 200%. This often isn't a nuisance unless it gets out of hand.

### Cat Cannon Recharge Up

**Cat Cannon Recharge Up** (キャットキャノンリチャージアップ) decreases the time it takes for the Cat Cannon to recharge. (Sm) decreases it by 5 seconds, (M) by 10 seconds, (L) by 15 seconds and (XL) by 25 seconds. This is used to be a massive nuisance. It makes stages way more hellish than other Combos do.

### Cat Base Defense Up

**Cat Base Defense Up** (キャットベースディフェンスアップ) increases the HP of the opposing Base. (Sm) increases it by 20%, (M) by 50%, (L) by 100% and (XL) by 200%. This is to prevent cheesing stages. To learn more about how HP on Bases work, see Base.

### Worker Cat Up

**Worker Cat Up** (ワーカーキャットアップ) decreases your maximum amount of money. (Sm) decreases it by 5%, (M) by 10%, (L) by 20% and (XL) by 50%. This forces the player to use their money better.

### Research Power Up

**Research Power Up** (リサーチパワーアップ) decreases the player's Doge Power. (Sm) decreases it by 5%, (M) by 10%, (L) by 20% and (XL) by 50%. This is really annoying to deal with, due to the fact that doing less damage makes things a lot harder.

### Accounting Power Up

**Accounting Power Up** (アカウンティングパワーアップ) decreases the HP of the player's Base. (Sm) decreases it by 10%, (M) by 20%, (L) by 30% and (XL) by 40%. This is incredibly annoying at times, depending on the situation.

### Study Power Up

**Study Power Up** (パワーアップを学ぶ) increases the Cat Limit by a small margin. (Sm) increases it by 2, (M) by 5, (L) by 10 and (XL) by 20. This makes spammy stages even worse than they were before.

### Strong Effect Up

**Strong Effect Up** (強い効果アップ) increases the effectiveness of the Strong Against ability. (Sm) increases it by 10%, (M) by 20%, (L) by 30% and (XL) by 50%. This allows units to tank hits from certain traits better, making them harder to kill.

### Massive Damage Effect Up

### Knockback Effect Up

**Knockback Effect Up** (ノックバック効果アップ) increases the effectiveness of the Knockback ability, which pushes Doges back farther than normal. (Sm) increases it by 10%, (M) by 20%, (L) by 30% and (XL) by 50%. This allows units with this ability to keep your units back more effectively.

### Slow Effect Up

**Slow Effect Up** (スローエフェクトアップ) increases the effectiveness of the Slow ability, which makes it last longer. (Sm) increases the duration by 10%, (M) by 20%, (L) by 30% and (XL) by 50%. This allows units with this ability to crowd-control you better due to your Doges being slowed longer. This makes Cats like Miko Mitama ridiculously good.

### Freeze Effect Up

## Two Types of Combos

Cat Combos are put into 2 categories: **Normal Cat Combos** and **Weird Cat Combos**. Normal Cat Combos are just your regular standard Combos and only involve 1 or less Gacha Cats (Gacha Cats are Cats that are usually found in the Gacha part of Battle Cats, this game's inspiration). Weird Combos involve more than one Gacha Cat and were deleted from the original Battle Cats due to complaints.

## How Do They Activate?

Cat Combos activate through the specific Cats needed in the Combo being in the stage. It also doesn't matter what form it is, as long as it is the current form that it's requesting or above. For example: Cat Army MKII, a Weird Combo, requires the 2nd Forms of Cat, Tank Cat, Axe Cat, Gross Cat and Cow Cat. If these are all present in a stage, the Combo activates. And even if it's the 3rd form, it still activates. If it's the first form, however, it doesn't activate.
