H. Nah(300%)

Medu-san(100%)

[BOSS]Cala Maria(100%)

Medu-san has high health and can land a Surge Attack within a wide radius. Medu-san can be deadly because her surge attacks can appear mostly around your attackers and backliners despite her dealing mediocre damage. Combined with Cala Maria and H. Nah, they can be very dangerous to deal with. Worse case, there are Aku Gories incoming. Pretty nasty since you barely have the cash to send your attackers out, but luckily there are Celeboodles.

Empress’ Report 5

Aku Studies 501: Intro

Difficulty: 6/10

Condemned Peng(400%)

Razorback(100%)

[BOSS]Camelle(300%)

Aku Studies 501: Methods

Those Guys(3,000%)

Owlbrow(1,000%)

[BOSS]Teacher Bun Bun(1,800%)

Aku Studies 501: Inquiry

Croconators(100%)

[BOSS]Deathkory(100%)

DMG: 23,500

Attack Rate: 3.33 seconds

Aku Researcher (Rare Cat)

• View history

Aku Researcher is a Rare Cat that can be unlocked at a 30% chance when clearing Wrath of Hell . True Form added in Version 12.4 improves his health, attack rate and movement speed.

• 1 Evolution
• 3.1 True Form
• 4 Cat Combos
• 5 Description
• 7 Upgrade Cost
• 9 Appearance
• 10 Animations
• 13 Reference

Evolution [ ]

Evolves into Evil Aku Researcher at level 10.

Evolves into Cat Researcher when obtained from Fury of Hell (Merciless) (guaranteed to drop) and is level 20 or above.

Performance [ ]

+ 6% chance to perform a Critical Hit + 15% chance to instantly pierce Shields

• Fast attack rate
• Many knockbacks
• High movement speed [True]
• Long recharge time
• Single Target

Strategy/Usage [ ]

Aku Researcher's main usage is to destroy Aku enemies' Shields , some of which can be incredibly durable otherwise despite protecting a somewhat fragile enemy. Unlike most other Shield Piercers , he doesn't require gacha, Behemoth Stones or expensive NP upgrades. Against Metals , his damage, single target, and chances make him inefficient compared to other specialized Critters like Catasaurus , Catornado , and Space Cat . This means that Aku Researcher's usage is mostly limited to occasionally piercing Shields, where damage matters none compared to proc rate. You will also have to protect and time him well since he dies quite easily, even with his many knockbacks. Due to his single target, he will also need to be supported by other attackers to clear peons from his path and give him a clear shot at Aku Shields. With proper support, he can even be a serviceable counter to Fallen Bear , able to outrange him consistently and eventually destroy his Shield.

True Form [ ]

Aside from moving much faster, Cat Researcher's improvements are an increase in health and more frequent attacks. The increase in speed allows him to serve as a rusher in timed levels. The former can be decently useful, exceeding 10k at level 30. While this isn't particularly high, it could potentially allow Cat Researcher to survive an attack that would have otherwise finished him, letting him reposition with his naturally high knockback count.

The latter is considerably more useful for increased chances to land Critical Hits and pierce Shields. More specifically, he attacks every 14f instead of every 35f, or 2.5 times as fast as before. While his niche of landing Critical Hits is still done better by other units, it does still see a noticeable improvement. The same however can't be exactly said for shields, as he is now much better since usually such openings don't persist, and having a higher overall chance to destroy shields makes these threats much more manageable.

Finally, Cat Researcher gains an efficient Worker Start Up combo with Furiluga 's True Form. Considering how Aku Stages do tend to be cash tight at times and both units are specialized in countering enemy Shields, they can give you a great head start against tight start-offs. Although the two are much less useful in general, they are still worth bringing as these combos can stack with the likes of Don't Mess With Me! and Itchy Riches for greater effect.

Appearance [ ]

• Normal Form: A tiny stick figure with a sign. Appears nearly identical to Angel Fanboy , except his sign says Aku instead of Angel.
• Evolved Form: Aku Researcher's infernal insights have twisted him into a Aku himself! Now blue and with a small pair of horns. Spikes surround the text on his sign, which is now pixelated and upside-down, reading " Cat Queen will open the door to the Devil World . " when flipped vertically.
• True Form: Has the same basic appearance as Evil Aku Researcher but now with wings, bigger horns, and a devilish tail. The sign also gains the coloration of Wicked Cat and now has horns, the spikes also turn fully black, the unit now flies.

• In the same way, Cat Researcher's sign reads, " Cats are lifeforms whose thoughts are shrouded in mystery. "
• Evil Aku Researcher's Japanese description directly mentioned The Aku Realms before they were added to the game.
• The Vortex mentioned in Aku Researcher's description may be Aku Cyclone , whose own description reads " Souls it draws inside are sent to the Aku realms to join that land's wicked armies. "
• Aku Researcher's sign says that "Akus" ignore anti-Floating attacks, but descriptions such as Aku Doge 's and Lilin 's have consistently used "Aku" as the plural of Aku.
• As a result, Aku Researcher is the only unit whose appearance changes at all between these languages.
• Aku Researcher does a complete 180 as he evolves. He starts as an ally of the Cats who is researching the Aku, but eventually betrays them and serves the Aku instead.
