History Characters / TheBattleCats

* ScratchDamage: They will take exactly 1 damage from any attack, unless it's a critical or the Waterblast cannon.

* DefeatEqualsFriendship: [[spoiler:He'll join you as a Cat unit after defeating him in the second chapter of Cats of the Cosmos]].

* HealingHands: Healing Oasis, another one of his miracles, heals all Cats on the field back to full HP.

* ZergRush: Baby Boom, his most powerful miracle, fills your wallet to maximum and removes the cooldown on Cats for a minute, potentially letting you do this with ''any'' Cat.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Sumo Cat appears to [[AvertedTrope avert this trope]] at first, moving even slower than the basic Cat... and then its [[SuperMode True Form]] plays the trope ''very'' straight, coming close to the speed level of [[FragileSpeedster Cow Cat]].

* FragileSpeedster: Bahamut's true form, Awakened Bahamut Cat, retains his low health but now moves incredibly fast, can deal even more damage, and attacks way faster. The same goes for Idi:N2, who can speed into battle to deliver crippling blows, but will die to virtually any heavy resistance.
* GlassCannon: Most of them qualify, but especially Bahamut Cat, who is slow and has rather low health but can deal up to 85,000 damage in one hit at level 30, and up to ''110,000'' at level 50. Awakened Bahamut takes this even further, as he is reduced to melee range, has the same HP, and has only marginally higher attack (with the extra damage distributed into two smaller follow-up hits) - but attacks more than ''six times faster'', giving him highest normal DPS of any cat in the game.[[note]]He can be beaten out by a hypermaxed Balrog Cat with NP enhancements[[/note]] Although Idi:N2's raw DPS is lower than Bahamut's, it skyrockets to be ''even higher'' against Relics, at the cost of being just as squishy and having a longer backswing.

* LightningBruiser: Mecha-Bun has pretty high health for its cost, moves and attacks as fast as the real Teacher Bun Bun, and has fairly high DPS, especially against the Relic enemies that it's Strong against in its True Form.

* AnimationBump: Their animations are ''much'' smoother and more detailed than their counterparts.

* JokeCharacter: Gummy Cat takes a huge amount of knockbacks, preventing it from dealing any damage to most enemies, and it deals [[ScratchDamage 1 HP's worth of damage]] when it attacks. It can't even function as a [[CannonFodder meatshield]], due to its higher cost and slower recharge speed than the basic Cat. It's a nice [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of BribingYourWayToVictory, since it's one of the only Cats that can only be accessed by paying real money.

These include Baron Seal, Le'Grim, Mega-Mooth, Super Hyppoh, Archangel Exiel, Big Peng Z, J. J. Jackrabbit, Great Angel Chibinel, Zero Luza, etc.

Includes Casaurian Ahirujo, Pterowl Hazuku, Crustaceous Scissorex, Wild Doge, Ragin' Gory, Ultima Beast Naala, Ensanglion the Calamity, etc.

* LongRangeFighter: Li'l Nyandam has extremely long range, enough to snipe most enemies from a safe distance. Filibuster Cat X tops this range.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Brainwashed Tank's ability to resist Traitless damage allows him to gain much more HP against his target trait, with his True Form boosting it even more. However, this comes at the cost of being completely unable to tank well against anything else as his base HP leaves much to be desired.

* CriticalHit: Aku Gory has a 10% chance to deal a devastating Savage Blow with each attack.

Unique and powerful Cats with strength comparable to Uber Super Rares, unlockable by completing certain stages in the campaign. For those who have true forms, they are unlocked by completing certain levels, or with Elder Catfruit.

* {{BFS}}: Miyamoku Musashi's weapon is a sword that's almost as big as he is.
* BlessedWithSuck: The powerful psychic energy Musashi emits also overexposes any film near him. As his evolved form description mentions, his movie career is officially over.

* CarryABigStick: Hermit Cat wields a staff that he uses as a club.
* CuteAndPsycho: Red Riding Mina is an adorable nature-loving girl with a mean SlasherSmile as she blows something up with her bazooka.
* CrutchCharacter: Valkyrie has great stats considering how early you get her, with fast speed, and good health and damage. But even in her [[TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential True Form]], she still falls behind the many Uber Rares and even her fellow Legend Cats as a midgame unit, much less in the endgame where she's rendered pretty much completely irrelevant.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Whenever Dogumaru charges up and fires his laser attack, his eyes glow red.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Naala's description states that it's a "benevolent being wishing for harmony between all creatures", but it mercilessly smites evildoers with thunderbolts.
* HunterOfTheirOwnKind: As an enemy, Naala is a Relic/Behemoth enemy. However, its playable iteration is not only effective against Relics itself, its True Form gives it the Behemoth Slayer ability, which lets it hunt other Behemoths and even itself. The same goes for Luza, who in his two boss incarnations is a Relic/Behemoth and Relic/Colossus enemy, but is extremely effective against Relics while having both Behemoth Slayer and Colossus Slayer.
* AnIcePerson: Urs & Fenrir has this going for them as their lightning attacks appear to have an ice element in it as well as their wolf mount having ice crystals for the spikes on its sides and its horn.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Downplayed; Luza is one of the strongest anti-Relic units in the game who can demolish most of the Relic-focused Uncanny Legends with relative ease, but you only unlock him after finishing all of Uncanny Legends in the first place. However, he can still be used against the higher-crown difficulties of UL, as well as the other Relic-centric stages that exist outside of UL, and as a general anti-surge and anti-Behemoth attacker.

** Cat God the Great is obtained after beating Cats of the Cosmos Chapter 2.

* KamehameHadoken: Master Uril throws a small one to attack.
* KillerGorilla: Ape Lord Luza is a giant gorilla-esque monster with a cat face, and crushes Relic enemies with its bare fists.
* LittleRedFightingHood: Red Riding Mina, who is actually a trained and ruthless assassin.
* LightningBruiser: Mecha-Bun has pretty high health for its cost, moves and attacks as fast as the real Teacher Bun Bun, and has fairly high DPS, especially against the Relic enemies that it's Strong against in its True Form.

* LuminescentBlush: Doron's face turns bright red after his mask breaks.
* MagikarpPower: Like the other eggs, Ancient Egg: N000 is completely useless until it hatches into Ape Lord Luza, who is then an extremely effective option against Relics and Behemoths.
* MightyGlacier: Against his target trait of Relic, Ape Lord Luza crushes them as a combination of high stats and having both the Massive Damage and Resistant abilities allows him to both dish out insane amounts of damage while also being able to tank a ton of hits if need be. This also applies to Behemoths, though to a lesser extent, and Cat God help any enemy unfortunate enough to be a Relic Behemoth as he'll be able to melt through them in a flash. To compensate, he moves incredibly slow, giving him a hard time on stages where speed is a necessity.
* MsFanservice: Valkyrie Cat is this both in-story and out. She's constantly troubled because God Cat keeps trying to hit on her.
* NoSell:

* OverlyLongFightingAnimation: While not as long as that of its enemy counterpart, Filibuster Cat X has a painfully long attack animation where it spends about 12 seconds charging up and firing an energy ball, which explodes into a SphereOfDestruction which shatters like glass. Bahamut's attack animation is also on the long side in his first two forms, at 4 seconds.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Bahamut Cat is rumored to have caused an apocalypse before, his Evolved Form states that he really ''did,'' and his True Form outright says he has the power to destroy the world at will.
* PowerNullifier: In his True Form, Uril gets the ability to Curse Relic and Aku enemies, sealing their special abilities.
* PreExplosionGlow: Doron's mask emits beams of light before it explodes during its attack animation.

* SplashDamageAbuse:
** Hermit Cat creates shockwaves with every attack. He also attacks 3 times in one go, meaning he will fire off 3 waves of waves if the target isn't knocked back or killed.
** Masked Yulala's attacks have an Omnistrike effect, letting him damage enemies hiding behind meatshields.
** Master Uril is guaranteed to create a long-lasting Surge attack every time he attacks.
* TheSpook: According to its description, nobody knows why Idi:N has joined the Cat Army, and it's not known why it performs scans of powerful cats.
* StatusEffects:
** Valkyrie Cat's true form can sometimes freeze non-metal enemies in their tracks, Awakened Musashi and Doron can freeze Relics, and Soractes can freeze Angels.
** Li'l Nyandam can slow enemies he hits occasionally, and Uril can slow Relics with his Surge.

* StoneWall: Dogumaru functions as one to traitless enemies, having around 320,000 hp against them at level 30.

* SuicideAttack: Doron leaves the battlefield after attacking once. [[SubvertedTrope Instead of dying after its attack]], however, its mask breaks, causing it to get embarassed and leave.

* MovesetClone: A few of them (Ninja Cat, Zombie Cat, Skirt Cat, and Loincloth Cat) have very similar stats and abilities to certain Normal Cats.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: Downplayed; Luza is one of the strongest anti-Relic units in the game who can demolish most of the Relic-focused Uncanny Legends with relative ease, but you only unlock him after finishing all of Uncanny Legends in the first place. However, he can still be used against the higher-crown difficulties of UL, as well as the other Relic-centric stages that exist outside of UL.

** D'Arktanyan [[WellIntentionedExtremist seeks nothing more than true justice, no matter the sacrifices]]

* MightyGlacier: Mighty Kristul Muu is ridiculously powerful against Zombies, with it being able to take down most Zombies in a few hits and take a ton of damage from them, but it has the ''slowest move speed in the entire game'' tied with The Face, and is in fact so slow that the "Slow" debuff does nothing to it. However, this is actually useful since this means that it can be used as a "base guard" of sorts against Zombies that have burrowed past most of your attackers and won't move past Zombies that are about to revive.

* TemporaryOnlineContent: The event to obtain Mr. Ninja has only occured once. If you didn't pick him up while the event was on, you're out of luck.
** He did return for the What's in the Box event capsules, but that was ''eight years'' after Mr. Ninja's own event.

* ArbitraryMinimumRange: Madoka Kaname and Mami Tomoe are long-distance backliners who can't hit foes near them.

A group of enemies characterized by having non-stop attacks that will rip apart any Cat that gets too close. They appear as optional bosses in event stages, and defeating them will drop unique anti-Metal units.

* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: They'll only tear apart Cats that get close to them.

** Shadow Gao [[EvilTwin comes from the darkest timeline]] and seeks power at any cost, only appearing to those [[DespairEventHorizon who have seen true despair.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Compared to the other Galaxy Gals who range from outright friendly at best to hotheadedly aggressive at worst, Lilin is far more malicious. She experimented on her own classmates to synthesize an elixir to enslave demons, and her evolved form's description says that she made a [[DealWithTheDevil pact with the Aku]] to enslave the entire Academy. To a lesser extent, Kalisa is also this, as she has a penchant for inflicting CruelAndUnusualPunishment on anyone that slightly bothers her or, if her Tropical version is to be believed, [[ItAmusedMe for no real reason]].

* TokenEvilTeammate: Compared to the other Galaxy Gals, Lilin is far more malicious. She experimented on her own classmates to synthesize an elixir to enslave demons, and her evolved form's description says that she made a [[DealWithTheDevil pact with the Aku]] to enslave the entire Academy.

* MasterOfAll: All 5 Uberfest Ubers have devastating effects against any traited enemies. Combined that with the fact that most enemies in the game have a trait, and ''holy crap.''

** Mighty Lord Gao is immune to Shockwaves.

** Kasli the Scourge is immune to Waves, Curse, Weaken and Warp.
** Phono's evolved form is immune to Waves and Surges.
** Diabolic Gao is immune to waves and Knockback.
** Kasli the Bane is immune to Waves, Surges, Weaken, Warp and Curse.

** Emma is able to block wave attacks.
** Sirius is immune to all negative effects.

* SuperPoweredEvilSide: The Epicfest Ubers are this to their Uberfest versions, coming from almost-identical gacha sets and filling similar roles to each other, but Shadow Gao [[EvilTwin comes from the darkest timeline]], Dark Mitama [[BrokenBird has embraced the darkness of the cruel world]], D'Arktanyan [[WellIntentionedExtremist seeks nothing more than true justice, no matter the sacrifices]], Kasli the Bane became the personification of disaster itself, and Dark Aegis Garu is a vision of despair by one who [[ILetGwenStacyDie couldn't protect those most dear to them.]]

* GlassCannon: Most of them qualify, but especially Bahamut Cat, who is slow and has rather low health but can deal up to 85,000 damage in one hit at level 30, and up to ''110,000'' at level 50. Awakened Bahamut takes this even further, as he is reduced to melee range while his HP remains the same - but attacks more than ''six times faster'', giving him highest normal DPS of any cat in the game.[[note]]He can be beaten out by a hypermaxed Balrog Cat with NP enhancements[[/note]] Although Idi:N2's raw DPS is lower than Bahamut's, it skyrockets to be ''even higher'' against Relics, at the cost of being just as squishy and having a longer backswing.

* HunterOfTheirOwnKind: As an enemy, Naala has the Behemoth trait. However, its True Form grants it the Behemoth Slayer ability, making it extremely effective at taking out other Behemoths. In fact, Naala is particularly effective against its enemy self, which has a double weakness to Naala's abilities as a Relic/Behemoth.

* GlassCannon: Most of them qualify, but especially Bahamut Cat, who is slow and has rather low health but can deal up to 85,000 damage in one attack. Awakened Bahamut takes this even further, as his range gets even shorter while his HP remains the same - but he now has the highest normal DPS of any cat in the game[[note]]He can be beaten out by a hypermaxed Balrog Cat with NP enhancements[[/note]]. Although Idi:N2's raw DPS is lower than Bahamut's, it skyrockets to be ''even higher'' against Relics, at the cost of being just as squishy and having a longer backswing.

Includes Kalisa, Thundia, Windy, Coppermine, Kuu, Kai, the Twinstars, Myrcia, Lilin, Huntress Terun, and [[spoiler:Headmistress Jeanne]].[[note]]Almost all of the girls have seasonal variants, featuring Tropical Kalisa, Spooky Thundia, Hallowindy, Snow Angel Twinstars, First-Love Myrcia, and Night Beach Lilin. Some have two, such as with Kai (Frosty Kai and Seashore Kai), Kuu (Santa Kuu and Waverider Kuu) and Coppermine (Seabreeze Coppermine and Holy Coppermine).[[/note]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: This seems to be Kalisa's favorite thing to do to those who annoy her.
** She almost blew up her school on the first day of class.
** Once she graduated, she banished her principal to the netherworld.
** Anybody that confesses their love to her will find themselves [[DeadlyEuphemism graduated to the next world.]]

Includes Sage of Mind Soractes, etc.

* EldritchAbomination: Massive, grotesque beasts with odd and unexplained powers. The game isn't even sure whether they are still cats or not.

Teal-colored enemies that are rather strong and can toss out a lot of status effects. They have a passive 700% magnification that can only be reduced through treasures from Into the Future. They are the primary enemies in Into the Future.

* AchillesHeel: Units with the Shield Piercer ability have a chance to completely shatter an Aku Shield on hit. This can prove devastating since many Aku enemies rely on their shields to last long.

* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Ururun Wolf can knock back enemies occasionally. Cat God the Great also does this albeit it happens at his first two attacks and has a 100% chance of happening but it occurs less frequently.

* CuteAndPsycho: Red Riding Mina. You wouldn't know it until she flashes a SlasherSmile as she blows something up with her bazooka.
* CrutchCharacter: Valkyrie has great stats considering how early you get her, with fast speed, and good health and damage. But even in her [[TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential True Form]], she still falls behind the many Uber Rares and even her fellow Legend Cats as a midgame unit.

* FragileSpeedster: Bahamut's true form, Awakened Bahamut Cat, retains his low health but now moves incredibly fast, can deal even more damage, and attacks way faster.
* GlassCannon: Most of them qualify, but especially Bahamut Cat, who is slow and has rather low health but can deal up to 85,000 damage in one attack. Awakened Bahamut takes this even further, as his range gets even shorter while his HP remains the same - but he now has the highest normal DPS of any cat in the game[[note]]He can be beaten out by a hypermaxed Balrog Cat with NP enhancements[[/note]]. Although Idi:N2's raw DPS is lower than Bahamut's, it skyrockets to be ''even higher'' against Relics.

* HunterOfTheirOwnKind: As an enemy, Naala has the Behemoth trait. However, its True Form grants it the Behemoth Slayer ability, making it extremely effective at taking out other Behemoths.

* LightningBruiser: Mecha-Bun has pretty high health for its cost, moves and attacks as fast as the real Teacher Bun Bun, and has fairly high DPS.

* NoSell: Miyamoku Musashi has the Wave Immune ability, which makes him one of the few units that take no damage from Shockwaves.

* StatusEffects: Valkyrie Cat's true form can sometimes freeze enemies in their tracks. Li'l Nyandam can also slow enemies he hits occasionally, while Urs can weaken all types of enemies briefly.

* AchillesHeel: Curse completely disables Mighty Rekon Korps by nullifying its target traits. If it gets cursed while it's in the middle of an attack, that gigantic thermonuclear blast will do absolutely nothing.

* PowerNullifier: All Relic enemies come with the ability to inflict the Ancient Curse onto your cats. This debuff temporarily nullifies abilities that target traits (eg. Slow, Freeze, etc). The main way around this is to use cats that have immunity to the Ancient Curse.

* AchillesHeel: In addition to standard effects like slow and freeze, Metals are vulnerable to critical hits, as they're the only things that bypass their high defence. Chances are, any critical will be able to dispatch the majority of the metals.
** In addition, the Waterblast Cat Cannon can deal damage to them based on a percentage of their current health. And while they are rare, units that can debuff Metals do exist.
* ArmoredButFrail: Metal enemies don't tend to have a lot of health, but they only take 1 damage from most attacks, making them far more resilient than most enemies.

* EliteMook: Super Metal Hippoe and Sir Metal Seal, being the two most deadly metals with enough health to survive most critical strikes. Multiple successive crits are required to bring them down.

* NoSell: While they obviously do this to standard attacks, they tend to be immune to status effects that would normally target all units.

* PercentDamageAttack: The Waterblast cannon deals damage based off of their current HP, from 11% at Level 1 to 20% at Level 10.

Purple, undead enemies that are much stronger than their normal counterparts, and give little money. Most of them have the ability to burrow underneath your units, and [[RevivingEnemy all of them have the ability to come back to life after dying once]] (or in some cases, [[PerpetualMotionMonster indefinitely]]). Units with the Zombie Killer trait can permanently kill zombies regardless if they have used their revive or not.

* AchillesHeel: In addition to the standard units effective against them, Zombie Killer units can kill them permanently to cancel their revives. Also, the Holy Blast Cat cannon can deal damage to them based on their max HP, cancel their burrows, and freeze them in place.

A unique enemy subtrait introduced in Zero Legends identifiable by the blue crystal embedded in their body, Sage enemies boast significant resistance to status effects, reducing the duration of all debuffs inflicted onto them by 70%, and halving the push distance of the Knockback effect. Their counter-ability is Sage Slayer, which increases damage against them, reduces damage taken, and allows wielders to ignore their debuff resistance while granting them debuff resistance in turn. [[note]] The specific values are 1.2x damage dealt, 0.5x damage taken, and 70% debuff resistance. [[/note]]

* ContractualBossImmunity: Their massive status resistance means that typical stalling strategies will fail to work against them, unless you happen to have a Sage Slayer that ignores their resistances.

!! VideoGame/StreetFighter

'''Uberfest:''' Baby Gao, Miko Mitama, D'Artanyan, Kasli the Scourge, Baby Garu, Iz the Dancer, and Child of Destiny Phono.

Special Cats include: L'il Homura

Rare Cats include: L'il Madoka, Madoka Cat, Homura Cat, Mami Cat, Kyoko Cat, Sayaka Cat

** Homura and L'il Homura cannot be deployed in the fight against Homulilly, [[spoiler:since Homulilly ''is'' Homura.]] However, she can still be placed in the lineup [[spoiler:to activate her Cat Combo with L'il Madoka.]]
* WeaponOfXSlaying: Most of them have the Witch Killer ability, which only affects the collab-exclusive Witches and causes units to deal 5x damage to them and take 0.1x damage from them. [[spoiler:Together, L'il Madoka and Homura can form the [[SetBonus "My Very Best Friend" combo]], which multiplies its effects by 5, leading to '''25x damage dealt and 1/50 damage taken.''']]

Special Cats include: Shirou the Cat, L'il Sakura

Rare Cats include: L'il Shirou, Sakura the Cat, Rin the Cat, Ilya the Cat, Archer the Cat, Rider the Cat

Includes Nekoluga, Kubiluga, Tecoluga, Asiluga, Balaluga, Togeluga, Nobiluga, Papaluga, Furiluga, Kaoluga, and [[spoiler:Legeluga]].[[note]]Nekoluga has a seasonal variant in the form of Summerluga.[[/note]]

* GatlingGood: Raiden's primary weapons are two arm-mounted chainguns.

* MightyGlacier: Sodom is ''incredibly'' slow, but he hits ''hard''. Dioramos also qualifies, but not as much.

* AliensStealCattle: Extraterrestrial Envanz is shown abducting a hapless cat dressed in a cow costume. During its attack animation, the cat briefly gets dropped on the ground... [[YankTheDogsChain only to get blasted by a laser]] and receive an AshFace. Its description also mentions the real-life version of the phenomenon, where aliens supposedly abducted cattle to mutilate and study them.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Mighty Aethur Ltd. can deliver insane damage to Zombie enemies for a cheap price and with a fast recharge time for an Uber, but it's utterly useless against all other types of enemies. Even some Super Rares have better general use than it.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Superfeline was introduced much later than the other Normal Cats, so it has many differences from them. It's the only one which isn't unlocked in the first Empire of Cats chapter, the only one which doesn't target Red enemies with its special ability in its basic form, the only one with a different level cap from all the others, the only one with any piercing range on its attack, and the only one that evolves again at level 100 instead of level 30.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** Despite the fact that all the ubers in his set have area attacks, Musashi Miyamoto has single target attacks even though the enemies he is effective against (Black) usually come in hordes.
** Despite Kyosaka Nanaho being the Legend Rare for ''[=GirlsMons=]'', she doesn't come from that game, instead coming from ''Kyoto Project''.

Demon-like enemies that start appearing in late [[BrutalBonusLevel Uncanny Legends]] stages, as well as part of a progression line required to unlock the "The Aku Realms" map and later Uncanny Legends maps. Most of them come with the [[DeflectorShields Aku Shield ability]], which negates damage and debuffs until it breaks, then regenerates when the enemy gets knocked back.

* BossOnlyLevel: While the others come with support in their stages, Cosmic Cyclone is practically this, having nothing but a few weak Shibaliens alongside it.
