The Cat Ears are a piece of female headgear available in Epic Battle Fantasy 3, 4 and 5. Their armor counterpart is the Cat Costume in EBF3 and the Maid Outfit in EBF4 and EBF5.
Description
The Cat Ears consist of a headband with two cat ears on it. The ears' inner side is pink, but their primary colour varies between games; in EBF3, they are orange, while in EBF4 and EBF5, they are black.
The Cat Ears provide a small boost to both defences, and also sharply raise Evade and Accuracy. Unfortunately, prior to EBF5 they lack any special effects and their generally poor resistances make them a lackluster set of female headgear. That said, the Cat Ears do have some assets; they have great Evade and Accuracy, and frequently are among (though generally not the) highest in those categories among female headgear. This means that they may have a use in specific scenarios, though they are not as useful in day-to-day builds.
In EBF5 the Cat Ears grant the Good Luck status to the wearer when Defending, and also have a high chance of randomly summoning the Cat Wizard for a powerful single target heal. This makes them more useful than before, allowing for free application of Good Luck without the Hoop Earrings, and the frequent healing from Cat Wizard helps play a supporting role for the party.
Incidentally, in EBF5 the Cat Ears actually have identical stats to the Ninja Chopsticks in all respects- leaving the main differences in their radically different elemental resistances and special effects.
The Cat Ears' status resistances vary between games. In EBF3 they make the wearer resistant (or immune, when maxed) to Stun while reducing the odds of Instant Death (but do not prevent Doom on their own). In EBF4 they make the wearer resistant to Curse, which becomes an immunity at level 5. In EBF5 they grant at maximum level immunity to Curse and Bad Luck.
