In Anime Vanguards, metas rise and fall with every patch. But through every unit drop and elemental rework, the Strange Cat Familiar has held its ground—and for good reason.
This oddball pet doesn’t just pack a punch. It powers up your entire team with some of the strongest elemental damage boosts in the game. If you're serious about tackling Nightmare Raids, Legend Stages, or pushing your way to leaderboard glory, investing in a Strange Cat is practically mandatory.
Why the Strange Cat Reigns Supreme
What sets the Strange Cat apart isn’t raw stats—it’s teamwide synergy. Here’s a breakdown of what makes it the most sought-after Familiar in the game:
Elemental Damage Buff
The Strange Cat provides one of the highest elemental multipliers in Anime Vanguards. This is a game-changer when facing tanky, high-HP bosses—especially in the later stages.
Corruptibility
Thanks to the in-game Corruption system, the Strange Cat can gain a random powerful trait. Traits like Deadeye (boosting Crits) or Ethereal (buffing Damage, SPA, and Range) can create game-breaking builds that rival even the strongest Vanguards.
Ultimate Utility
Unlike most Familiars that just attack, the Strange Cat provides buffs that boost any team composition, whether you run Toji, Broly-inspired units, or other heavy hitters.
Tough to Get, Worth the Grind
You won’t find the Strange Cat easily. It's a rare drop from specific Story or Legend stages, making it a rewarding challenge for players who love chasing elite loot.
Meta Focus: Corrupting Your Cat
The current high-end strategy revolves around Corrupting your Strange Cat to get an S-tier trait. The top community picks right now include:
- Deadeye – Boosts Crit Damage and Chance
- Ethereal – Boosts Damage, Range, and Speed
- Disaster – A wild card for creative builds
Since this system is RNG-heavy, players are burning through Trait Rerolls to lock in that perfect setup—and that’s where this month’s codes come in.
