Nimoy Bore

Nimoy Bore (イノヴァルカン, Inovarukan, Vulcan Bore) is an Alien variant of Bore that appears in Into the Future, Cats of the Cosmos and Legend Stages.

Enemy[]

Nimoy Bore's base health and damage, attack rate and speed are all inferior to Bore and most of his other variants, so in the end he may actually be the easier of the bunch, despite his 50% chance to knock back cats (can be used to allow cats with long backswings to attack over and over again). Nevertheless, don't take him lightly when you encounter him in Floating Continent, especially in Chapter 3.

Strategy[]

There are two things that are important to have when facing Nimoy Bore: crowd-control and Anti-unstarred Alien Treasures. Stall him with units such as Psychocat, Surfer Cat and Onmyoji Cat to reduce his pushing power while stacking attackers such as Macho Leg Cat and Dragon Cat to whittle away his health. Catellite, Soap Cat, and Jetpack Cat can stall him quite effectively, although be wary of Nimoy Bore's knockback ability. Once frozen or slowed, Crazed UFO Cat or Solar Cat can be used to deliver huge damage to him. Because he gets outranged by most meatshields, the meatshields will stand out of his range, effectively giving him single target. Like most other Bore variants, you must be wary of support enemies destroying your crowd control stack, like Galactic Overseer Nyandam and R.Ost.
