Attack on Titanium is the 5th Cyclone Stage. It appears every Sunday.
Upon completion, players have a 30% chance to unlock Hoop Cat.
Battleground
The first enemy to appear is a Metal Hippoe, which appears after 101.5 seconds. After 134 seconds, a Super Metal Hippoe will appear.
Once 184 seconds have passed, Metal One Horn appears. A Sir Metal Seal appears after 216 seconds.
The boss, Metal Cyclone, will appear when the enemy base's HP is down to 90%.
Only 2 enemies may be on stage at once, one's deployment may be delayed until after another enemy is defeated.
During the boss fight, these enemies will appear in the following pattern: Metal Hippoe -> Super Metal Hippoe -> Metal One Horn -> Sir Metal Seal -> Super Metal Hippoe After that, every ~70 seconds, 1 Super Metal Hippoe will be spawned.
The cyclone stages previous to this are key to beating this stage: they give you anti-metal cats that are vital to success here.
Strategies
The use of Critical Hitters is mandatory in this stage (yes, you can also spend hours and go without).
Strategy 1
Lineup: 3 meatshields and as many anti-metals and critters as you can.
Start by building up your worker, then summon something and try to deal with Metal Hippoe while building up your anti metals (Kaguya, Poseidon, other cyclone drops...). Once he gets a knockback, spam the crit hitters too. The key to this strat is getting a good enough stack to stall the peons and deal damage regularly since it's rng based; you may need to try a few times if your units are weak or you may have to add sniper.
Strategy 2 (Cheese)
The goal is to exploit the "max number of enemies"
Line up one or two meatshields (Crazed Tank/Tank), high damage or high DPS (fast attack rate optional) Cats (Bahamut, Takeda Shingen, Crazed UFO, Paris, Raiden, Balrog), and Metal knockback cats (Bronze/Michelangelo). Shinji Cat (Evangelion Collab) is extremely useful if you have it.
After ~1 min 39 seconds, the first Hippoe will spawn. Start "spamming" Michelangelo Cats between 1 min 30-35 seconds into the battle, and summon maybe one or two tanks to keep them alive.
After ~2 min 10 seconds into the game, Super Metal Hippoe will spawn. Start spamming all your damage cats about 2 min into the game (Tank Cats too). Hopefully, by this time, both Hippoes will have been knocked back to behind the base. Now they'll be "invincible" and the enemy base will be free for you to attack without having to worry about the Metal Cyclone.
Note that Riceball Cat will help here as it will stop the Super Metal Hippoe from pushing back the meatshields.
Note that Super Metal Hippoe outranges Bronze/Michelangelo cat, so you have to keep them protected with units with high health such as Jamiera and Crazed M. Titan. LD units that can snipe the base can also come in handy( I used Nobilan Pasalan, but likely Megaphrodite can also work).
