Strategy

  • Since the Scaredy Cat gains StrengthIcon.png Strength when the Road Home is hit, the clash against Friends! Let’s Go Home~! can be done with a defensive die to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
  • Since the Scaredy Cat gains +5 power against librarians affected with BrickRoadIcon.png Yellow Brick Road, redirecting its attacks towards another character is preferred.
    • Speed control with HasteIcon.png Haste and BindIcon.png Bind help with redirecting attacks.
  • SmokeIcon.png Smoke, FragileIcon.png Fragile and Le Regole help guarantee a kill as soon as The Road Home is staggered to avoid doing the cycle all over again.

Trivia

  • Scarecrow Searching for Wisdom, Warm-hearted Woodsman, The Road Home & Scaredy Cat, Ozma and The Adult who Tells Lies are all based on the children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
  • The Road Home & Scaredy Cat and The Servant of Wrath made their first appearance in Project Moon's webcomic Wonderlab.
    • Much like The Servant of Wrath, The Road Home and Scaredy Cat are additions to a previously established group of Abnormalities in Lobotomy Corporation.
  • The Road Home & Scaredy Cat are the only two completely distinct Abnormalities to share a fight, as opposed to minions coming from a single Abnormality.
    • As a result of this, Scaredy Cat is the only Abnormality who lacks an E.G.O appearance despite its home floor having received a Floor Realization.
      • It and Plague Doctor are the only Abnormalities to lack an E.G.O page.
    • Not counting Abnormalities who appear as multiple copies of themselves in their fights, Scaredy Cat, Singing Machine and Dream of a Black Swan are the only Abnormalities who appear fully in their main form in their Floor Realization encounter. Unlike Scaredy Cat however, Singing Machine and Dream of a Black Swan both take secondary, support roles to the main combat force of their encounter.
