Kats are a type of monster found in the Clockworks.
Traits
General cuteness until spotting a living creature. Things turn ugly afterward.
All Kats are immune to Curse.
Kats become progressively more terrifying as knights delve deeper into the Clockworks. Starting at Tier 2, they can spit projectiles. In Tier 3, their scream upon defeat is much deeper to match their scarier appearance.
Types
Notable Kats
Strategy
There are a few ways you can manage these monsters:
- Stun will totally disable Kats.
- Wait for an opening after they charge forward, turn and attack.
- Relentlessly strike them into a wall or corner and take them out quickly.
- Run towards the Kat if it quickly flies in your direction. This is a signal that Kats will bite you.
- Back away about 6-8 tiles and leave a bomb for when they charge.
The "cooldown" between attacks gets shorter and shorter the deeper you go, so short-ranged strategies become slightly less effective, while traps (such as leaving a bomb for them to fly through) become slightly better since they move around more.
When dealing with Grimalkins, while you can't kill them, you can get a rid of them. As you should notice, they disappear after having bitten a knight. What you may not know is that they do not have to bite the knight to disappear. If you run from one side of it to the other, passing in front of it, it will try to bite you and miss, disappearing even though it doesn't hit anything. NOTE: If you run towards a Grimalkin from the front and then run away again, you will get hurt.
Notes
- Even though the Grimalkin's bite cannot be blocked, the Grimalkin can be shield bumped out of the way (and can be knocked back by any gun of the Pulsar line's expanded shots,) it is unknown if this is a bug or not.
