Basically a faster and stronger version of Gabriel, Brollow flies at extreme speeds, has low health, and deals high damage that can easily break through your defenses in numbers.
Strategy[]
Brollow's high attack damage, high knockback count, full backswing and low health are pretty threatening. A few hits from even very weak meatshields like Mohawk Cat and Crazed Macho Cat as well as the default/Breakerblast cannons can reset it, causing further destruction despite his very low range. As a result, it's recommended to use units that outrange him, paired with meatshields that will at least absorb one attack, or in the case of larger groups, employ specialist tankers like Kotatsu Cat or Stone to give you some breathing room. While he's standing there, you can use said ranged area attackers that deal serious damage to minimize his impact to your unit. The likes of Cameraman and Fishman can be used to easily remove them.
DO YOU EVEN LIFT??? He's gluten-free, but never misses a chance to impress chicks with crumbs from the organic bakery. Brain the size of a cashew, but he's got game.
A member of an idol meeting group. He's getting popular because you can meet up with him when you attend school with bread! Can tickle even the clumsiest maiden's heart, but forgets about them immediately.
A Zombie/Floating version of Brollow that has much less health, attack power and DPS and lacks the ability to burrow, but has longer reach and takes off 80% of cats' maximum health.

Trivia[]
His Japanese name, Tsubamenzu, is a portmanteau of tsubame, meaning "swallow" (as in the bird) and menzu, meaning "men" (referencing his chiseled physique and tendency to spawn in groups).
The phrase, "DO YOU EVEN LIFT???" in his description is a reference to a meme of the same name.
He is the second-fastest enemy in the game, beaten by Assassin Bear.
His design takes inspiration from several different birds:
He is mainly based off of the swallow, a type of bird well known for its black coat and v-shaped tail. Swallows are also a symbol of good luck, fidelity in marriage and fertility in Japanese culture.
He closely resembles a gannet, known to be the "missile bird".
He is additionally based off of the common swift, the world's fastest bird in horizontal flight, which can be clearly seen as Brollow moves forward. It also has a shorter, smaller v-shaped tail, though it is still noticeable. Another similarity between Brollow and the swift: the wings are slightly more forward on the body than they are on a swallow.
