Flame Caldera is the sixth and last stage in Volkanos Volcano.
Battleground
Kory first appears here as a boss. He is one of the first enemies you'll encounter that can produce Shockwaves.
Doge, Snache and Those Guys spawn early and in a constant wave so you have lots of peons to farm.
Kory will not spawn until the enemy base is at 70% or about 700k hp. You have a lot of time to ramp up Worker Cat levels.
After Kory appears, B.B.Bunny and Doge Dark are rarely spawned.
Strategy
Strategy One
Requirements: You only need Li'l Wall Cat but you should probably take some high damage cats unless you wanna wait a really long time. No powerups needed. Done with all EOC treasures and level 20 cats. Do not use LD cats, shockwave cats or extremely fast cats (due to a known rage glitch)
Spam Li'l Wall Cat as soon as the level starts, do not slow down, your Li'l Walls will slowly push towards the enemy base. Use your cat cannon as soon as it charges for the first time, and DO NOT use it again. Eventually, your Li'l Walls will make it to the enemy base either because the peons are dead or have been knocked back. Wait for the peons to stack up, your Li'l Walls will no longer be hitting them due to their short range, but they will be hitting the base. If you hit the cat limit, don't worry just keep spawning Li'l Walls, the cat limit will not pose a risk here. When it's clear there are no more enemies spawning due to the enemy limit, you've already won. Keep up your spamming and slowly but surely their base will be destroyed. However this takes a very long time, so just spawn in the highest DPS cats you have, the peons are safely behind the base, so no need to worry, just watch your cats whittle the enemy base down. Make sure there are Li'l Walls attacking the base at all times, as if the peons move forward they can be killed and thus Kory will spawn. Using this strategy is very simple, you will only deal with no magnification Doge, Snache and Those Guys. It is also fast, as while the Li'l Walls may not push fast, as soon as they finish you can spawn in any high DPS cat you want and watch them wreak havoc on the base. Compared to slowly stacking Dragon Cats and killing Kory this is still relatively fast.
Strategy Two
Doge, Snache, and Those Guys will be spawned frequently the start of the battle. Spawn a few Wall Cats to stall them and to fill up your wallet to the max. Once your money is maxed out, start sending out Dragon Cats. Keep spamming Dragon Cats only until the enemy base reaches 600,000 health, where you can start spamming Sexy Legs for extra support. Once the enemy base's health reaches 500,000, Kory will appear. Keep spamming Dragon, but not Sexy Legs. Along with Dragon spawn in Valkyrie and Mythical Titan to support. Once you have killed Kory, spawn in everything at once so the base can be destroyed faster.
If you do not defeat Kory fast enough and he reaches your base, do not worry; as a last resort, once Kory approaches your base/lose too many Dragons, save up money. Once he starts hitting your base, spawn in Bahamut to finish it off. It should work if you have dealt enough damage.
If you have Ring Girl Cat, you should have no problem at all; 2 of them stacked and at lvl. 30 (27 should be enough) can kill Kory by themselves by simply attacking first, knocking him back, and attacking again when Kory is back, repeating the process; due to their long time between attacks and the pause after attacking, Ring Girl Cats will never attack too early because of peons nor too late and always attack again when Kory is back, but before he does anything, making this unit perfect for dealing with Kory. However, this strategy requires a high-level Ring Girl.
Strategy for higher stars
For 2 And 3 Star do the same exact thing as strategy two and Possibly advance the strategy with anti shockwave ubers or Kotasu Cats True form which can negate shockwaves entirely.
For 4 Star it is a totally different story. You will need Miyamoku Musashi to help you out since he is one of the only 3 cats in the special and rare category to be immune to shockwaves. (The others being Li’l Lion and Zambony, Both of those also help greatly on 4 Stars flame caldera.) You should also use tanky, cheap and spammable cats that can tank Kory's shockwaves.
Line up:
Flying cat (level 50)
Manic Flying cat (level 40)
Flying Ninja cat (Level 30)
Drone cat (level 30)
Awakened Bahamut Cat (level 30)
Li’l Eraser (level 40)
Ramen cat (level 45)
Maximum the fighter (level 45)
Riceball cat (level 30)
Miyamoku Musashi (Level 28)
Battle: Stall with li’l Eraser cat until you get Max money. Then spawn a couple of Ramen cat and maybe maximum the fighter. Also spawn Miyamoku Musashi. Once Kory comes out keep on spawning Maximum and Ramen. If Miyamoku Musashi dies then that’s alright. Keep on spamming. once Kory I saw comming closer spawn A.bahamut. If Kory is pushing too much spawn riceball cat for emergency. Once Kory dies you’ve won and officially completed Volcanos Volkano!
NOTES:
- If your Ramen cat or Maximum isn’t + enough then spawn them in a irregular pattern. That will help stall Kory.
- If you have li’l Lion or Zamboney you should replace Riceball cat with either one of them.
- Only spawn riceball cat for emergency. He can survive 1 hit from the shockwave so use that to your advantage.
- The first four cats in this Stradegy are for the research catcombo: Aerial rekon. So you don’t need Bird cat or C.Birds True form but you do need Ninja cats true form and Drone cat which Drone cat isinsanely difficult to get Because of the deadly stage you get it from (No Plan A)
If you have a level 30 or above Ramen Cat, you win. As soon as Kory is spawned, lure him close to your basement not too close that he hits it, when he is close non-stop spawning Ramen, as normally they would take damage from the far away shockwaves and die quickly when encountering Kory, but when close, they will only take at most 2 hits before manically hair whipping Kory. The bunny and dog either dark should’nt be too much of a problem, you can always bring quick attackers like dragon cat to deal with them.

Strategy 3 (Ft. Driller cat)
If you have driller cat this will make it a lot easier
At the beginning spawn 2-3 walls and then get enough money to spawn driller cat. Have 2 driller cats before attacking the base. If a wall dies, spawn another, once you get max worker cat and money, start spawning your units. 2 drillers are needed to weaken for some time. then kory will die after a bit.
Strategy 3 (Ft. Ramen and Research combos)
All you need is 2 research combos Sm and Ramen lvl. 40)
Constantly spawn ramen and then you win.
Tips
- Using bulky cats will help as they will not die from the Shockwave while attacking. Examples of such cats are Mythical Titan Cat, Dragon Cat, or even Uber Rares such as Sodom or Maeda Keiji.
- Stall at the beginning of the battle with Wall Cats, but do not use meatshields during the boss fight as they will trigger Shockwaves. This will lead to your other cats being hit before they can hit Kory.
- You can just use Lil Wall Cat to Cheese this Stage.
