Lineup: No Stage Fright, Art History, Étoile minimum, Ramen Cat 40+4, Thaumaturge Cat (Wave Immune), Can Can Cat (Double Bounty, Speed Up (10)) 40+1, Courier Cat 40, Pizza Cat 40+4, Awakened Bahamut Cat 30

Notes:

• Rich Cat is heavily recommended, but not used.
• Wave Immune Thaumaturge Cat can be replaced with Mushroom Cat.

Start the level by sending out two Ramen Cats, then Can Can and Courier. Save up money and upgrade the wallet once or twice as they attack the first Kang Roo, who will hopefully be finished off by the Double Bounty Can Can. By now, Rajakong should appear, so start spamming Ramen Cat, Thaumaturge, Courier and Pizza Cat like your life depends on it. Don't send out Can Can unless there's an Aku Doge or Kang Roo in they way of Rajakong, since Rajakong will easily kill Can Can with his Omni Strike. Once there's enough money for him, also send out Awakened Bahamut, who will hopefully seriously damage Rajakong with a long chain.

Once the first Ragin' Gory shows up, things may get dicey, but continue spamming Ramen Cat and your attackers, along with Can Can now. Hopefully Ragin' Gory dies before Ahirujo shows up, as having all three active at the same time is a death sentence. The stage becomes a cakewalk once it's only Ahirujo and Rajakong, they will likely not push hard enough to kill you, so just keep spamming until both threats are killed. From there, you will probably beat the stage fast enough to not have to see the second Ragin' Gory, but he isn't much of a threat on his own anyways.
