## Character Strategy

### Attribute Analysis

* Cowboy Tom is quite outstanding in terms of skill strength, and every skill he possesses can become his own means of output. In terms of attributes, Cowboy Tom has a high HP, which can make him withstand a lot of attack damage.

### Skill Analysis

#### **Active Skill: Fighting Bull**

* Cowboy Tom can release a violent fighting bull to rampage in the room. Once a mouse is hit, it will lose HP and get stunned for Cowboy Tom to catch instantly. When this skill is upgraded, the fighting bull will last longer, and its stun time will extend, perfect for guarding the last cheese (Better if it has forks to trap the bull to rampage more efficiently.

#### **Passive Skill: More than Enough**

* Because of Fighting Bull's Lv. 3 effect (stunned mice can be caught immediately), Cowboy Tom can sacrifice this skill early on to max out Fighting Bull as soon as possible, as a replacement for the passive effect, whether it be guarding the last cheese or camping a rocket that is tied, to earn more EXP later on.

#### **Weapon Skill: Whip**

* After receiving a buff, Whip is not as weak as before, as it can quickly injure mice in a long range. It can also be used to break fragile items that mice are holding.

#### **Second Weapon Skill: Cactus Slingshot**

* Cactus Slingshot can be used to break robot mice in Scouting phase easier, as it can shoot out little cacti to make it almost impossible for them to escape.

* It can also be used to generally attack mice that are low on HP.

## Recommended Perks

### 1. S Class Rage (★★★★☆)

* It can allow Cowboy Tom to weaken mice even easier, as all his skills are low CD. This will be perfect for late-game.

### 2. S Class Pounce (★★★★☆)

* Make your own attack have an additional effect of banning skills and item usage, and if you attack someone fast enough, you can also pick up the items dropped by the mouse after hitting them, and then directly attack the mouse, making it an excellent perk. (It is recommended to choose either **Pounce** or **Stunning Strike**.)

### 3. S Class Stunning Strike (★★★★☆)

* Cowboy Tom's own attack interval is short, it can interrupt the mouse's rescuing or cheese-pushing, which is very practical.

### 4. A Class Feline Presence (★★★☆☆)

* To further improve the pursuit ability, Cowboy Tom's own movement speed is faster than that of mice. After equipping this perk card, the speed of mice can be further slowed down, which can greatly improve Cowboy Tom's hit rate when chasing mice.

## Character Evaluation

A whip with a short CD in one hand can ensure continuous output, and releasing fighting bulls in the other hand can disrupt mice. His passive should not be underestimated as well, whether it is combined with normal attacks or skill attacks, it surely can aid him powerfully in the game. Although Cowboy Tom has rich output methods, the fly in the ointment may be that his attack frequency in the early game is quite low and the damage caused by his skills is not considerable, so Cowboy Tom often needs to earn more EXP in the scouting phase.

## Skins

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