### Cartoon Origin

Although Jerry first appeared in "Puss Gets the Boot" (as "Jinx") and "The Midnight Snack", his lobby model originates from "Tennis Chumps".

In this short, Jerry, after being mistreated by Tom, planned a trick to make him and Butch turn against each other when they're playing tennis together. In a hilarious scene, he was even used as the tennis ball, which showed his flexibility. In the end, he won the tennis championship and proudly presented his victory to the audience.

## Character Strategy

### Attribute Analysis

* As an initial and free character, Jerry has good HP recovery ability, Team ability, and also a strong Cheese Pushing ability. He also has control skills and Recovery skills, which makes his ability to assist teammates not as weak as other Cheese-pusher mice.

### Skill Analysis

#### **Active Skill: Inspire**

* HP is very important for mice, and mice with low HP are particularly vulnerable to attacks from enemy cats. Therefore, Jerry, who can be positioned as a team assist, is recommended to upgrade active skill first. This skill can cooperate well with others to rescue teammates on the rocket at Lv. 1, and the fault tolerance rate of Lv. 2 is already very high. However, when players use Inspire, it is best to predict the actions of their teammates, and use the skill when teammates run near the player in order to restore their HP.

#### **Passive Skill: Cheese Porter**

* Jerry's own basic attribute for Cheese Pushing is at an advanced level, and he can basically become the fastest Cheese Pushing mouse character by upgrading the passive skill. When Lv. 2, carrying cheese does not slow Jerry down. Therefore, if the player is Jerry in the Cheese Pushing position, then is is fine to upgrade the passive skill mainly, but you should not prioritize Passive Lv.3 above Jerry's other abilities. When you already have enough EXP in late-game, and the cheese wedges are almost pushed through completely, you don’t need to consider the priority to upgrade to Lv. 3.

#### **Weapon Skill: Hammer Time**

* Since this skill has a small melee attack range and has a long releasing time, you will need to predict the cat's actions to a certain extent, in order to land this ability, or use it after the cat is restricted from moving, which can improve the hit rate.

* Hammer Time requires players to have the ability to predict or cooperate with other teammates who have stunning skills.

* To further increase your hit rate, learn to cast Hammer Time while moving. Since you cannot stop moving mid-way the skill performance, you need to grasp the distance between you and the enemy and your own movements to perfect it.

Jerry's use of Hammer Time is as follows:

* When the cat is tying a rocket to rescue teammate;
* When the cat is guarding a rocket to gain rescue time;
* When the cat is attacked and stunned by ice cubes and vases;
* When the cat chases you and opens the door, release the skill to attack and stun the cat.

#### **Second Weapon Skill: Bird Whistle**

* Jerry's second weapon is great for self-defense. In an actual round, Jerry's Bird Whistle can be used in conjunction with his Passive Skill in order to keep players safe while pushing Cheese.

* When rescuing teammates, it can also be used to ensure the safety of the player and the rescued teammates.

* During the Wall Crack phase, you can provide great protection for your teammates and the available items to gain valuable time for victory.

* Be sure to pay attention to the environment and decide whether the skill will be needed or should be saved saved. As Jerry's core skill, this skill is good for self-protection and has a high priority on upgrading.

## Recommended Upgrade Order

### Quick Pusher

#### **Active** + **Passive** + **Active** + **Passive** + **Active** + **Weapon** + **Passive** + **Weapon**

* If you are facing a cat that greatly disrupts the Cheese Pushing progress, such as Toodles Galore's Glamorous Perfume and Butch's Rampage, then you can primarily upgrade Jerry's passive, since all of his passive upgrades give benefits that are related to cheese.

### Assist Deck

#### **Active** + **Weapon** + **Active** + **Weapon** + **Active** + **Weapon** + **Passive** + **Passive** + **Passive**

* If Cheese Pushing is not a high priority, You can consider upgrading the active and weapon skills first, so that you can provide good support to your teammates.

## Recommended Perks

Jerry is a mouse with a variety of ways to play. You can freely choose the combination of perk cards according to your role.

S Class Perk **Fearless** (★★★★☆)

* It is a rescuing perk, guaranteeing Jerry's survivability and the rescued teammate during the rescue.

S Class Perk **Blood of Iron** (★★★★★)

* Increase Jerry's survivability, on the other hand, to rescue teammates while in the state of Iron Blood.

B Class Perk **Cut and Run** (★★★★☆)

* Increases Jerry's chance of escaping the cat's pursuit after rescuing, as well as increasing the teammate's too.

B Class Perk **Leap** (★★★☆☆)

* Makes Jerry more flexible, since he moves quite slow.

C Class Perk **Help Me** (★★★★★)

* A must-bring perk for all characters, so that teammates can rescue you faster.

## In-Game Strategy

### Scouting Phase

* In the case of ensuring your own safety, cooperate with your teammates to explore every room on the map as much as possible, to collect information about room items + drinks + cat's location and cheese refresh positions.

### Cheese Phase

* If Jerry has equipped Bird Whistle, he can blow it near the mouse hole where teammates are pushing, in order to stun the upcoming cat.

* In mid-game, if the places between a wedge of cheese and a mouse hole is quite far, he can upgrade Lv. 2 passive to carry the cheese faster, but only do this if it is absolutely necessary, since his active skill and weapon skills are more helpful later.

### Rescuing Teammates

* After a teammate is caught, Jerry mainly has an interference effect in the early-game, helping the rescuer teammate to break the cat's shield, or using items and skills to cover the successfully rescued teammate to escape.

### Wall Crack Phase

* Like in the Cheese Phase, Jerry can blow his Bird Whistle to distract and stun the cat while breaking the Wall Crack with his teammates.

## Character Evaluation

As the initial free mouse character, although his first weapon skill Hammer Time is quite hard to master, his second weapon Bird Whistle can be helpful at times. Overall, Jerry is not very strong in attacking, saboteur, and cat kiting, but from the perspective of his basic attributes and skill characteristics, he is a good Cheese Pushing character with considerate controlling skills.
