Strategy

As with the original Merciless Onslaught, you should not kill any of the Metal Hippoes since those Assassin Bears will destroy you in seconds. Despite being at 1,000%, the Metal Hippoes are still relatively weak. Use Quizmaster Cat (True form preferred) to knock the Metal Hippoes back. Only use Manic Eraser Cat as a meatshield, and only deploy them when one is dead (as in only have one Manic Eraser on the field at a time). Alternatively you can bring Future Cat, whose longer cooldown wouldn't matter as much since you'd prefer to have only one at a time.

Use research combos to spam Bronze Cat, speed combos for Manic Erasers and, if you want, you can bring knockback combos to make the stage quicker. Once the Metal Hippoes get knocked behind the base feel free to deploy Awakened Bahamut Cat to finish the stage.
