The Battle Cat

The Battle Cat joins Rivals of Aether, with their Iconic money mechanic, and the ability to spawn units to aid them in battle.

This is my first workshop character, so there will be bugs here and there and i'll need balancing help, but I'm doing what I can to make this a finished character.

You may notice you start your match at Worker Cat Level 1. In order to upgrade your income and the max amount of money you can hold, simply wait for your money to hit max and press taunt.

NSPECIAL - Basic Cat
By spending 75 cents, you can summon a Basic Cat. it has ok-ish stats and low damage. like all your other specials (save for nair) it automatically walks forward, obeys gravity, and bounces off walls.

FSPECIAL - Tank Cat
Costs 150 cents, and has overall better stats than basic cat. minor damage improvement, larger than basic cat, and can survive enemy attacks. however, it's a lot slower.

DSPECIAL - Cow Cat
Costs 750 cents, being the most expensive unit you can summon. it's the fastest of the three and does the most damage, but will still die to enemy attacks.

USPECIAL - Bird Cat
Costs 975 cents. while this isn't a summon, it's important to always have enough money to use this move, because it's your recovery. make sure to spend wisely.

Overview of how to play:
All your cats that you can summon are great for traps. tank and basic cat both have fixed upward knockback that can be used to put enemies in situations they don't want to be in.

Battle Cat is not very powerful once the match begins. they have the slowest income, and their max money is 500, making them unable to recover. however, as the match goes along, Battle cat gets exponentially more powerful as they upgrade worker cat. make sure to stay alive until you can upgrade, and find a safe place to do so.
