• Courier Cat can be replaced with Mimic Cat, a Combo Slave, or Awakened Doron.

This strategy can take quite a while to complete, long enough that you can send Cat Egg Pod at the beginning, and have the same Cat Egg Pod attack twice.

Use a few units to take out the beginning few enemies, luring The Face away from the Surge Base. You should choose when to start stalling The Face, so that it is far away from the Surge Base, but the Zombies cannot burrow directly onto your base. Afterwards, use Esoteric Uril and Li'l King Dragon Cat to chip away at The Face, while you use your remaining money to counter the Zir Zeals and Zigges. Use Holy Blast to better counter the Zir Zeals, and use Cat Egg Pod to chip The Face faster as well as to better protect your stack.

Eventually, The Face will fade away. reduced to a string of zeros and ones, and you will win.
