The Face (Floating)

The Face (カオル君 kaoru kun, Mr.Kaoru) is a Floating enemy that appears in the Main Chapters, some event stages, the Challenge Battle, the Catclaw Dojo and in Stories of Legend Mode. He first appears as the boss of the Moon in Empire of Cats Chapter 1.

Enemy

The boss of the first Chapter's final level. He has extremely high health and attack, and hits multiple units per attack, but is one of the slowest enemy units in the game (1 movement speed). In addition to this, he attacks very slowly, rendering his highly devastating area attacks useless in the presence of meatshields and 350+ range cats.

Then what is The Face formidable for? His defensive properties. The advantage of having 1 movement speed is that The Face will be stationed near the enemy base for a very long time. If at any time the player emerges victorious from an enemy push, the fastest cats on the field tend to overextend, make a small dent in The Face's health pool, and get their heads bitten off afterward.

At 100% strength magnification, The Face has 99,999 HP and an area attack that does 2,000 damage. Depending on where you are in the game, The Face will be buffed up to allow him to keep oneshotting your fastest cats. The peak of 1* buffs is a 2000% The Face that first appears in Pitfall Zone, sporting a disgusting health pool of 2 million and 40k damage chomps.

English Version

Too strict a diet resulted in no body. No one knows why he is floating. Seriously, anyone? (Don't try this at home)

Strategies

If you have trouble killing him in Empire of Cats Chapter 1, there is a way. Having all available Treasures activated is a good idea. If you have ANY available Ubers right now, even if it's only at a low level, bring it anyway, it can still raise your chances of beating him.

1. Upgrade your Worker Cat to level 2 or 3.
2. Spawn a few Wall Cats.
3. Upgrade your Worker Cat until you can get Mythical Titan Cat.
4. Once you have got enough, spawn Mythical Titan.
5. In case The Face is killing everything, spawn a Dragon Cat and protect it well, as Dragon outranges The Face.
6. Repeat this process a few times.
7. If The Face dies, good job! You have beaten Chapter 1 of Empire of Cats.

Note: It has more bark than bite in the Stories of Legend. Not difficult to defeat when on its own, but it is usually supported by strong enemies. When it's surrounded by strong adversaries, use Area Attack to your advantage. Angry Delinquent Cat is a good choice, as it is relatively cheap (1500¢ in most stages of the game) and can attack multiple enemies at once, including enemies that have gotten into range in the middle of its attack. True Valkyrie Cat is another option, being twice as expensive but very fast and long-ranged, knocking The Face back in about 2-3 hits.

if you have a lot of good cats, you can just spam.

Extremely Easy when alone...

Variants

Shy Boy (Red/Floating)

The Face's Red variant that moves and attacks much faster, but has much less health and deals less damage per attack. Has well-rounded stats and destroys your front lines considerably fast if not stalled correctly. Moves even faster than Doge Dark.

Leggsy (Event Enemy)

A variant of The Face with feet. It is considerably faster than The Face (half of Shy Boy's speed) and has a much faster attack speed. In comparison, it has about half of The Face's health.

Princess Head

A variant of The Face with Princess Punt hair. 1/3 as fast as Doge Dark. Attacks about as fast as Shy Boy and does 2,400 damage at 100% strength magnification.

I.M. Phace (Alien/Floating)

An Alien version of The Face. It is much faster and has a chance to stop Cat Units. To add insult to injury, it has a much longer range making it very hard to hit. Luckily, it has around half The Face's health and damage. It gets knocked back twice as much as The Face.

CyberFace (Metal)

A Metal variant of The Face, it has very low health but compensates for it with extreme damage, high speed and incredibly powerful Shockwaves, with a chance to knock back Cat Units if they aren't killed by the Shockwave or initial hit. It has very low health, so it will die to nearly any Critical Hit. Essentially a weaker Assassin Bear. It also does 4x damage to Cat Bases, meaning that it will always destroy the Cat Base in one hit.

Hannya (Red)

Another Red variant, looks like a Shy Boy wearing a mask. He's very slow, but he has exceptional range, high health, and the ability to weaken your cats. He has been seen only in Realm of Carnage. Deals extremely high damage (36,000).

Lowkey (Relic/Floating)

A Relic variant of The Face, with double the speed, more health, more range, much less time between attacks, and three times the attack, but not as many knockbacks. His ancient breath curses Cat Units for 10 seconds.

Dead Donny Dash

A Zombie variant of Leggsy. Has Long-Range attacks.

Stats

*In each stage, there is strength magnification, the value of health and attack power varies due to this value.

*Time between attacks is the time of the attack from the motion end until the next attack motion start
