## Background Story

### Developer Post (Chinese Server)

#### "Cute and responsible, with superb mouse-catching skills."

Topsy can be said to be the most kind-hearted among all cats. Despite being a member of the alley cat trio, he doesn't use trash as his weapon of choice. Being an intelligent cat, he always invents excellent and interesting gadgets.

### Cartoon Origin

Topsy first appeared in "Baby Puss", but his overall personality is originated from "Professor Tom", which he was a student of Tom.

In the episode, Topsy ignored Tom's teachings as he snoozes in class. When Jerry was spot by Tom, he instructed Topsy to catch him. Although failing to catch Jerry, he had learnt that mice are nice and befriended him. In the end, he even earned the role of professor!

## Character Strategy

### Attribute Analysis

* Topsy's attributes, especially speed and attack range, are not particularly ideal. But because of his character design, Topsy is a kitten with relatively high intelligence, so his advantage is shown in his skill strength.

### Skill Analysis

#### **Active Skill: Double Catdentity**

* Topsy's active skill can achieve a qualitative leap after Lv 2, not only the cooldown time has been greatly reduced, but the clone can inherit perks, and even superimpose the effect of some perks. Double effect of Rage + Wall of Steel, sharing Cautious perk, and smarter AI are really powerful to counter mice kitting. It is recommended for players to upgrade this skill to Lv 3 first.

#### **Passive Skill: Energetic**

* Passive skill is also very effective for Topsy's strength. Lv 1 passive is a must. Topsy, without any perks, he has a medium attack frequency, the attack interval is currently about 3.5 seconds, but if Lv 1 passive is upgraded and Topsy is able to hit a mouse, the attack interval is only 1.5 seconds.

* Lv 1 passive is only triggered after hitting the mouse, so if the player is very confident in claw attacks, then it can be matched with the Stunning Strike perk, which is enough for Topsy to use normal attacks to catch a mouse without any skills and items.

* In addition, Lv 1 passive is also very advantageous to defend a rocket, and is not afraid of claw misses. However, his Lv 1 passive skill is enough in the early stage, and players can better use their skill points on other skills after finishing upgrading Lv 1 passive.

#### **Weapon Skill: Bubble Blower**

* When a mouse is caught and thrown by Spike, the player can blow a bubble first at the position where the mouse was thrown as a full HP mouse cannot be weakened by a general claw attack. When the mouse is struggling in the bubble, two basic claw attacks is enough to weaken him.

* Placing mousetraps is a more common way to defend rockets, but there are also many mice that rescue by jumping and the Fearless effect avoids mousetraps, so the double defense method of bubbles and mousetraps will definitely make sure that the little mice have nowhere to escape.

* The bubbles that are blown near the wall crack also have a magical defensive effect. When the Bubble Blower skill is at Lv 3, and besides using active skill to attack, as long as a mouse is trapped in a bubble, tying them on a rocket is an easy task.

* Since the bubble will not float around if you cast it without moving, it will be effective if you cast it near intersections that the mice always go.

#### **Second Weapon Skill: Capture Net**

* The Capture Net is a powerful weapon skill that can defend and attack actively. If done perfectly, it is possible for a mouse tied to a rocket, a mouse in hand, and a mouse trapped in the Capture Net at the same time.

* However, the Capture Net CD time before Lv 3 is longer, so if you choose the Capture Net as the weapon skill and want to use this skill frequently, upgrade Lv 2 active skill, Lv 1 passive skill, and Lv 1 weapon skill. After that, you can consider upgrading the Capture Net to Lv 3 first.

* However, if you are still accustomed to using clone interference tactics, it is better to first upgrade the active skill to Lv 3, and then upgrade the Capture Net to Lv 3.

* When the mouse is about to struggle free, throw the mouse onto the rocket when they are in Capture Net.

## Recommended Perks

#### 1. **Stunning Strike** + **Cautious** + **Wall of Steel** + **Flexible Cat**

* After Double Identity reaches Lv. 2, he can allow his clone to inherit perks, so that the clone no longer steps on mousetraps which would destroy the set up.

* Has double Wall of Steel effect in the Wall Crack, so Cautious and Wall of Steel can be said to be two perk cards that Topsy should bring.

* Stunning Strike brings great advantage to you when guarding rocket, since Topsy's claw CD is quite short, bringing this can avoid mice trying to avoid your attacks. Directly attack them would be fine. Generally, after the rescue is interrupted by your stun effect, the mouse wouldn't dare to rescue again immediately.
	+ Moreover, the clone can also inherit the Stunning Strike effect.
		- Stunning Strike also provides a pursuit advantage for yourself, if a Lv. 1 passive Topsy hits a mouse, the CD is only 1.5 seconds, and even if Stunning Strike is at Lv. 1, there is also 0.6 seconds of stun effect, which means that even if Topsy has no items and only uses basic attacks, the mouse has less than 1 second to move, which is actually very difficult for them to escape.

* Flexible Cat is more suitable for use in Classic House and Night Castle maps. If it is Summer Cruise, Space Fortress, or Playground, it can be replaced with other perk cards with 3 perk points.

#### 2. **Rage** + **Cautious** + **Wall of Steel** + **Flexible Cat**

* The reasons for equipping other perk cards in this set are the same as those in the first set. The reason for changing to Rage is that Topsy's attack range is quite short, and the stun effect may not be well exerted, and the clone can inherit Rage, which is very useful.

## In-game Strategy

### Scouting Phase

* Since Topsy's claw range is quite short, rely on items more when breaking robot mice. Pick up any drinks you find and set up traps in places that mice would jump or would block their pathway.

### Cheese Phase

* Release your clone to create a larger area control, in order to stop mice from safely pushing. Your clone will also be present on the mini-map at all times, he if spots a mouse, you can immediately teleport to your clone to do the rest of the attacks. Moreover, you can also use the clone to switch places before you are about to be stunned.

### Guarding Rockets

* Don't be afraid to set up more mousetraps near the rocket if you have equipped Cautious. You can also use your clone to perform an attack combo to finish the mouse in one go.

### Wall Crack Phase

* Double Catdentity in the Wall Crack Phase must have reached Lv. 3, allowing to exist permanently (unless it has been weakened). If the player has equipped Rage, then he can inherit its energizer effect to knock down mice with one blow. Because there are two cats with Rage effects in the game at the same time, this would be harder for mice to avoid weakening.

## Character Evaluation

Overall, Topsy has bad attributes, but his skills make up for these shortcomings. If the player has mastered the use of Double Catdentity, utilizing the ability to teleport to your clone and to perform combo attacks, and the use of weapon skills Bubble Blower and Capture Net to capture more than 1 mouse at the same time, you can keep stunning and controlling mice in the entire game!

## Skins

Beside equipping skins, he can also equip a rocket skin to gain more Fashion Points, same with Footprints.
