I beat this on the first try. (I got the drop on the second - I held back the Treasure Radar juuuuuuust in case)

Based on my experience, blitzing this stage is super easy, on the assumption that you've banked and leveled some Uber Rares. Here's my lineup:

1st Row: Crazed Sexy Legs Cat (20), Macho Legs Cat (37), Cyborg Cat (44), Catosaurus Cat* (44, +3% Crit Chance Talent), NEK-0 Sky Fortress (33)

2nd Row: Chun-Li CC (40), Ryu CC (29), Ken CC (29), Exalted Ganesha (39), Awakened Bahamut Cat (30)

Treasures: All Empire Gold, All Future Gold, 70% of Cosmos

Castle Upgrades: All

Ototo Corps Castle Upgrades: None.


 * - Catasaurus is in my usual lineup; swap him with another Uber Rare, or another spammable unit.

Note: You do not need these specific Uber Rares; any with decent DPS is good, any with traits is very important. A Level 30 Awakened Bahamut Cat is mandatory. (Chun-Li works amazingly here, because she can juggle Shadow Boxer K and the Bores, which is crucial here. Ken assists with juggling the Bores)

Strategy:

Phase 1: Because the enemy heavy units don't spawn until you hit the castle, once the enemy Squire Rels get close to your castle, spawn a single Crazed Sexy Legs Cat to farm to maximum currency, and bank to as close to maximum money as possible. Let the Crazy Sexy Legs cat die; if it does, replace it. If done correctly, it should just reach the enemy castle when it's necessary.

Phase 2: When you reach maximum currency, spawn your slow-moving and/or long range Ubers first. If you time them correctly, you should be able to start spawning your faster moving Ubers in time for the slow ones to reach the castle. Save spawning Awakened Bahamut Cat until...

Phase 3: As soon as Ururun spawns, spawn Awakened Bahamut Cat, while simultaneously firing your Cat Cannon; because you spawn Awakened Bahamut Cat as soon as Ururun does, Awakened Bahamut Cat can close the distance while your units get bounced backward. The Cat Cannon will buy your other units time to finish their bounce. Start spamming all of your cheaper units until Ururun goes down. If you are fast enough, you should be able to clear the stage before enemy of the dangerous units can stack, and finish it within 60 seconds or Ururun's spawn, without the need of using any other upgrades.

I strongly recommend not using Treasure Radar on your first attempt, as it's hard to gauge whether you have sufficient firepower and knockback/stun/etc to pull this off. Although this strategy requires significant investment of time (or money) to set up, it makes this stage a cakewalk.
