Strategy
Awakened Bahamut Cat can solo this stage if you bring an Attack UP Combo such as Cool Japan. Simply spawn him once you have enough money and watch him eventually beat the stage on his own.
For Chapter 3, you may want to bring in a unit like Roe Cat or iCat to effectively stall the Bore and perhaps even Octopus Cat to block Elizabeth the LVIth's waves.

Strategy
Chapter 1
This Zombie Outbreak stage is essentially just the original with some Zigges added. Given their ability to burrow and the low Cat Deploy Limit, they can be somewhat problematic, especially since multiple Elizabeth the LVIths spawn in to cause problems with waves.
Awakened Bahamut Cat is still effective, though units such as Polevaulter Cat and Li'l Flying Cat are still recommended for the Zigges. Additionally, Seafarer Cat and Octopus Cat are good options for the Elizabeths here, as they are still the main threat of this stage.
Strategy 1
Lineup: Two Unit Attack UP Sm Cat Combos (such as Tiny Ancient Hunt, Sister Act, etc.), Eraser Cat 20+30, Octopus Cat 30, Seafarer Cat 30, Housewife Cat 30, Awakened Bahamut Cat 30.
Cannon: Default or Breakerblast
Battle: Upgrade your Worker Cat once. When you reach 6,500¢, spam everything but the cats included in the Combos. When the first Zigge gets close, time your Cat Cannon so that she won't burrow underneath your attack force. When the other Zigges burrow underneath your attack force and you have nothing to defend your base with, don't worry. Eventually, your Erasers from earlier will die, clearing up the Cat Deploy Limit. When the Cat Deploy Limit clears up, send out Seafarer and Housewife Cats to deal with them. If your Awakened Bahamut dies in the middle of the battle, just defend your base with Erasers, Seafarers, and Housewives. (If you have a big enough stack of Seafarers, they can take care of the Elizabeths by perma-freezing them.) Eventually, you'll get Awakened Bahamut back and from there, it's an easy win because the main threats (Zigges and Elizabeths) will just about stop spawning. Your units can easily deal with the infinite Pigges.
Trivia
- Crimson Star is a fan-made hero from Singapore.
- The name Crimson Star may also be a reference to DC Comics' Superman, whose home planet Krypton had a red sun. This is supported by the base, which looks like Superman, standing on top of crystals, like in Richard Donner's 1978 Superman film. Moreover, the Taiwanese version's Treasure is "The Strongest Man in History", and Crimson and Krypton are spelled almost the same in Japanese - the stage's Japanese name can be translated as Planet Krymson.
