Samurai Warrior Cat

Samurai Warrior Cat is a cat first encountered in Chapter 3, the guard of the Evil Locator, and a playable party member.

## Personality

When you first meet him, Samurai Cat is a proud warrior, who threatens to cut the player down if they try to take the Evil Locator from him. However, he's absolutely terrified of the Frog Army, and when he learns that they were effortlessly defeated by the False Cats, he becomes even more scared of those. Despite this, he still has a strong desire to protect his village, which is why he decides to accompany the player on their journey to defeat Miraboala at the end of Chapter 3. He still doesn't quite get over his fear of the False Cats, though.

## Plot

### Chapter 3

Samurai Cat is first encountered in Greenwater Village, where he has been the guard of the Evil Locator for an unknown but presumably long time. After the player defeats him, he realizes that without the Evil Locator, the village can never know when the Frog Army might attack, and begs the player to go and get rid of them before taking the Evil Locator back to Meowlbion. Little Grey Cat begrudgingly agrees, on the condition that Samurai Cat helps them in their fight against the False Cats, which he agrees to. When they reach the Frog Army's base, however, they find that every single frog has been killed by a single False Cat, the Ominous Grey Cat. This causes Samurai Cat to realize the true power of the False Cats, which motivates him further to join Little Grey Cat and protect his village.

## Battle/Strategy

The Samurai Cat fight is the first boss fight of Chapter 3, and will usually prove to be a challenging fight. On turn 1, he'll use Magic Reflect, so you may think to attack him with physical skills, but due to the fact that he only takes 25% damage from these, it's HIGHLY recommended that you pick up a Boost Reset scroll from the nearby magic shop, if you didn't already have it on one of your party members. Once you've used Boost Reset, you're free to hit him with as many magic attacks as you want, and although he isn't weak to any specific element, if you have MAT Up on any party members, you should still be able to get some good damage. On turn 4, and every 3 turns after that, he'll use Magic Reflect and Sakura Slash in the same turn. Sakura Slash is a physical attack that hits all party members, so if you have Heal All on any party members, be sure to bring them into the fight. This fight can be difficult, but if you use Boost Reset consistently and take into account the timing of when he'll use Magic Reflect and Sakura Slash simultaneously, you should be good.

## As a Party Member

Samurai Cat's stats are similar to Knight Cat's, being a slow physical attacker with good defensive options. Like Knight Cat, he also starts with Royal Guard, but instead of V Slash, he gets Magic Mirror, which allows him to reflect magic attacks for a short while, and Sakura Slash, which is a powerful physical skill that can target every enemy, but requires a sword to use. Neither of these last two skills are anything exceptional, however, as both can be obtained later on in the game through use of Skill Scrolls (a Sakura Slash scroll is even obtained after you defeat him in battle).
