Characters (Playable)

List of characters that are playable in Tom and Jerry: Chase.

Each playable character has their own unique attributes and skills. Skills can be unlocked and upgraded throughout the game.

When reaching enough account level, they can choose a **Special Skill** before the match begins.

Other **Game Modes** have slightly different rules, such as the cat and the mice cooperating in 5v5 Team Mode and Decoration Battle. In Aliens!, mice and cats function like skins (as their skills and attributes do not exist) and they are given different roles, which are Earthlings and Aliens.

In the game, characters can send **Quick Messages**. In the Chinese server, some characters are even uniquely voiced.

***Note:*** ***Underlined words are information translated to English from the** **Chinese server****, and they are currently unreleased or released content without translations in other servers. As they are not official, they may be changed in the future.***

## Character Origins

All playable characters originate from the Tom and Jerry animated cartoons and films. When arriving to the world of Tom and Jerry: Chase, their appearances may get altered, improved or just exist as an inspiration.

So far, only Miko and Celeste don't possess any notable references from the original. Bugs Bunny doesn't originate from *Tom and Jerry*, but from *Looney Tunes*.

## Character Proficiency

### Pro Level

Character Proficiency (Character Pro) measures and displays how good the player is with a certain character. You will gain or lose Pro Points for a certain Character based on the results of matches where you use them.

If you accumulate enough Pro Points, you can increase your Pro Level. (Your Pro Level cannot decrease.)

#### Pro Levels:

When your Character's Pro Level reaches a new level, that Character will obtain a special Frame, which can be displayed on their Character Info page, match loading screens, and other locations.

Once you've reached Grand Master, you will only be able to continue earning Pro Points through Ranked Mode matches. The results will take into account your Ranked Match waiting time, Rank, in-game performances, and other factors. You will also enter the Pro Rankings, and at the end of the season, the top 10 players in the country will be issued a top-level title that can be used for one season.

Only characters that reached Prospect can unlock their Character Goals.

### Pro Rankings

The national rankings for players at Pro Level: Grand Master will be tallied every Monday. Character Frames will be issued according to the rankings.

* 301st - 500th: **IV**
* 101st - 300th: **III**
* 11th - 100th: **II**
* 1st - 10th: **I**

After reaching Grand Master, Character Pro Points gained will be determined by your matching time, performance, and wins and losses in Ranked Mode (adjusted from time to time according to the number of players in each Rank). You will no longer get Pro Points in Match, 5v5, and Casual Modes.

## Interface Differences

### Asia, Taiwanese, and Japanese Servers

* The background for Characters is inspired from Manhattan New York, with neon lights as sign posts that flicker when you press a button.

### Chinese Server

* The background for Characters is a board with strings attached for each row, and the character frames are hung on the strings. You can select the visuals for the Characters to be "Posters" or "Sprites" (Posters by default).

## Mice

A mouse team usually consists of 4 players who have to cooperate together. Their main goal is to push 5 cheese into mouseholes and break the Wall Crack to escape without getting caught and dispatched by the cat. If 2 mice have entered the Wall Crack, the game will result in their victory, and the mouse team will lose if there is only 1 mouse remaining and 3 mice have dispatched. If every mouse are either weakened, caught, or tied on rockets, they can surrender by majority vote to immediately end the game, but will result in a defeat.

### Mouse Types:

* **Cheese**: Good at pushing cheese into mouse holes.
* **Rescue**: Good at rescuing teammates from rockets.
* **Distract**: Good at delaying cats and preventing them from tying teammates to rockets.
* **Assist**: Good at providing buffs to teammates.

## Cats

The cat has to catch and dispatch 3 mice by tying them onto rockets, which will lead to the cat's victory. The other method to win is to stop and interfere mice from pushing cheese and entering the Wall Crack until the timer ends. Once the Wall Crack has opened, the cat can surrender immediately to end the game, but will result in a defeat.

### Cat Types:

* **Chase**: Moves quickly.
* **Attack**: Good at dealing damage and using skills to KO mice.
* **Defend**: Good at defending rockets, mouse holes and the wall crack.

## Character Release Order

Stub*This article isn't working correctly and it is a stub. You can help Tom and Jerry: Chase Wiki by expanding it.*
***Note: In the Chinese server, the period of releases during the Test Server do not count.***

These characters had already been released in the game before new characters arrived:

* Jerry
* Tom
* Detective Jerry
* Robin Hood Jerry
* Butch
* Pirate Jerry
* King Jerry
* Topsy
* Mouseketeer Jerry
* Tuffy

Afterwards, the characters below are considered new characters:

***Note: (CN) for Chinese server; (ASIA) for Asia server; (TW) for Taiwanese server; (JP) for Japanese server.***

## Trivia

* The older characters' active skills used to be just colored white.

* Some skill icons are made to look like their respective character, although lacking eyes and whiskers.
	+ So far, only Topo and Muscles' skills have these as both active and weapon skills (except Topo's second weapon in the Chinese server).
	+ Marie's hair, Guard Tom's uniform are also missing in their active skills.

* The design of the characters, especially Detective Jerry and Toots, is similar to the design of The Tom and Jerry Show (2014).

* Tapping the playable characters will display a short reaction animation, but only Tuffy doesn't have one. This bug has not been fixed.

* Angel Jerry, Magician, Nipper and Fairy Godmother are the only playable characters that originate from the Chuck Jones era.

* Lightning, Muscles, Magician and Fairy Godmother were in the game as NPCs before becoming as playable characters.

* There are many characters in the game whose character avatars are either outdated or are their in-game character sprite faces. Weirdly, Tara is the only character whose avatar is based on her poster art.

* Back in May in 2021, the developers had confirmed two upcoming characters that were yet to be released in the game: Angel Tom and Devil Tom. The voting (only for the Chinese server) resulted in Angel Tom arriving to the game earlier than Devil Tom.

* Characters could have equipped Companions previously in the Chinese server, but it did not make it out of the Test server, due to being unbalanced. They're likely to be replaced by the Special Skills.

* Prior to September 21, 2023, the Character Proficiency level system is much simpler, ranging from level 1 to 10. After September 21, 2023, those characters that have reached Proficiency level 10 are given the Prospect rank, while those that haven't reached Proficiency level 10 start off at Rookie rank.

* In the Chinese server, Bugs Bunny is a playable character despite not being a mouse or a cat. He is on the cat's side.

* According to Avatar Collection: Happy Teamwork II, the character name Bugs Bunny is confirmed.

### Character Level Proficiency Interfaces (Old)

* In the Chinese server, the most notable trait of the old Character Level Proficiency interface was there were milk bottles to indicate the number of the level. Now they have been replaced with colored frames.
