## Strategy/Usage in Game

Very similar to Cat in terms of usage. Cheap and expendable, Boogie Cat can be summoned in masses to take hits in place of other, more important units. This meatshield role is quite valuable, if not for the wide selection of Cats able to perform this role much better due to faster speed. Boogie Cat, however, can be accessed much earlier than most alternatives and can be used in 4♛ stages, where there is considerably less competition.

While Boogie Cat's slow movement speed is generally a con, it does have a use in preventing Zombies from burrowing or certain slow units from unleashing dangerous attacks, as the likes of Crazed Cat can sometimes slip into the range of an enemy with a powerful Omni Strike attack, for example, and cause them to attack and ruin everything.

His Cat Combo, Feel the Dance, can be used in many Legend Stages stages to great effect, especially later, if the units involved are raised to their full potential.

### True Form

Gato Amigo's minimal health and range, three knockbacks, Single Target and slowish attack animation often result in his death before he can make any use of his Knockback ability. The only notable enemies for which it might be useful are One Horn, Cyberhorn, Oldhorn, Kid Tappa, Li'l Zyclone, Miss Haka and Big Sal, due to their low range. Even then, it's still only a 5% chance, meaning Amigo may not even knockback no matter what setup you use.

For early Uncanny Legends, Gato Amigo does work as a short-term counter to Oldhorn. In stages such as Annin Pass, Utsubobo Seamount and Seahorse Siren, there is not a large amount of them to counter, making his Single Target attack less of a problem.

### Talents

With Talents, Gato Amigo can become one of the only Surge-immune meatshields in the game. Due to his slowness, he can't completely prevent most Surge Attackers from advancing, but his spammability can greatly reduce the amount of ground lost when a Surge hits your frontlines. This is especially useful against Aku Enemies, many of which can produce Surges deep in your lines when slain. Use him with Talented Beefcake Cat for an excellent anti-Surge combo.

Knockback Up is a double-edged sword, but does help against some short-ranged enemies, while the other Talents are a waste of NP, as almost nobody can slow or freeze this unit without killing him too, regardless of Defense Buff or level.

## Trivia

* If you look closely, Boogie Cat's afro will come off when knocked back, meaning that his hair is a wig and he is bald.
* "Sammmbaaaaa!!111one" is a reference to The "!1" Phenomenon, which occurs when typing a string of exclamation points and letting go of the shift key too early.
* Gato Amigo means "Friend Cat" in Spanish.
