Strategy

The general idea here is to bring many meatshields and fill the remaining slots with crowd-controllers and critters. Stall the Metal One Horn and the Metal Doges for money. When you hit the base, lure the Sir Metal Seal to your base, then spam everything, possibly with a Cat CPU.

This is one of the stages where Banner Cat can really shine as his weaken will help you keep them in control and his high weaken chance and short recharge time can make them weaken the enemies forever. Bring anti-Metal cats and critical hitters as well, as you will need them (however, Tesalan Pasalan isn't very useful here due to the high amount of peons in the way).

Catornado and E. Kubilan Pasalan might not be a good choice as a critical hitter in this stage. Because of Catornado's Area Attack and E. Kubilan's Wave Attacks, as they have a tendency to take out the Metal Doges too early and have the Super Metal Hippoes stack with the Sir Metal Seals, which can be extremely dangerous unless you have the units to take them out quickly.

Recommended Ubers

Generally, any Uber with a special ability against Metal enemies and/or can do Critical Hits with a decent chance, will be good here. Listed below are more specified examples of good Ubers to use in this stage.

• Marauder Cat: Just like most other stages full of Metal enemies, Marauder Cat make this stage a joke as long as he is in his Evolved Form or higher.
• Hayabusa: An even better option, can destroy most if not all of the Metal enemies in this stage with his powerful, Long Distance strikes.
• Graveflower Verbena: Another critical-hitting Uber, her Multi-Hits increase her chance of doing a Critical Hit on the Metal enemies here.
• Sakura Sonic: Great crowd-control for all the Metal enemies here and has a chance to do a Critical Hit.
• Wrathful Poseidon: Freezes the metals in their tracks, granting great respite for your remaining anti-metals.

Cannon: Waterblast

Items: Cat CPU

Notes: Cat CPU is optional.

Start off the battle by upgrading your Worker Cat a little and then send out a Soba Cat, she can solo the Metal One Horn, making him not an issue. Once the Metal Doges arrive, send out some meatshields and then Zamboney, Catasaurus, Hoopmaster and then Mochi. Only one Catasaurus is needed to kill all the Metal Doges, so don't worry. The Metal Doges should respawn shortly, unless your RNG was so good that you killed all the Metal Doges to fast and activated the boss wave to early, if this happens, just force quit and try again. Repeat the process of killing the Metal Doges until you get to max Worker Cat and close to max money, you don't need max money exactly as every unit in the team is fairly inexpensive.

Once you hit the base, it's really just kind of spam everything, hits from Soba are the most crucial to get right, but if a Metal Doge gets in the way, then there is nothing really you can do about that, this is an RNG battle, so this strategy may not work the first time because of that, but there is nothing you can really do about that, the second most crucial hit is a crit from Manic Island, if he does crit, then that is HUGE and can easily do massive damage to the metal he hits. So just really, spam until you win. If you are struggling a lot though, I would recommend using the CPU like I put up there before. A way to make this strategy a lot more consistent is by getting Talents on your Catasaurus or putting some more levels into your crit units, other then that though, if you don't get it the first time it's most likely not your fault. But after a good run where you actually get crits, you will have won the level!
