The Black Cat Ensemble is made up of six different Pins, all of them powerful in their own right. When equipped together, they become massively more powerful and possibly one of the best sets in the entire game. Unfortunately, each Pin is quite hard to get — find out how below.
How To Get All Six Black Cat Pins
Four of the Pins in the Black Cat Ensemble must be won from enemies. These are exclusively end-game and post-game enemies and have very low drop rates. Take a look at our Pin Farming guide to see how you can boost your chances of acquiring these elusive Pins. The following table contains the details of each enemy noise that drops a Black Cat pin, which difficulty they need to be fought at, and the drop rate of the Pin in question.
| Pin | Enemy | Location | Difficulty | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. 255 Black Cat Cards | No. 88 Cervus Cantus alpha | Another Day – West Exit Bus Terminal | Hard | 0.30% |
| No. 257 Black Cat Comet | No. 80 Mr. Mew | Week 2 Day 7 – West Exit Bus Terminal | Ultimate | 0.10% |
| No. 258 Black Cat Blades | No. 86 Soul Pluvis | Week 3 Day 7 – Scramble Crossing | Hard | 1.34% |
| No. 259 Black Cat Burn | No. 107 Felidae Cantus | Another Day – Expressway Underpass | Hard | 0.30% |
The two Another Day bosses will require reloading the game or restarting the chapter if you defeat them and do not acquire the Pin. The same is true for refighting Mr. Mew for another chance at the Black Cat Comet Pin, though it is possible to refight it by using the Time Trial on Another Day, though it will be extremely difficult on Ultimate.
Soul Pluvis, however, can easily be refought by using the Blue Boss Noise on Takeshita Street when replaying Week 3 Day 7.
The other two Black Cat Pins are bought at Gatto Nero in the 104 Building. No. 254 Black Cat Crush can be purchased for a whopping 960,000 Yen, and No. 256 Black Cat Burst can be traded for 3x Scarletite and 1x Sfermion. These Pins are found by completing the challenges that the post-game offers.
