Strategy

Strategy 1: Cameraman spam

First Row: Skelecat, Hyper Mr, Necro-Dancer Cat, Fishman Cat, Wrestling Cat

Second Row: Catellite (Lvl 45 + 20), Cameraman Cat (Lvl 45 + 14), Macho Crystal Cat (Lvl 40), Tourist Cat (Lvl 45), Awakened Bahamut Cat (Lvl 40)

Combos Used: Research up Sm x 2 (Bony Bone and Biohazard), Defence up Sm (Sportswoman)

*Defence combo can be replaced with long range units like Cyberpunk Cat or Megaphrodite, and Bahamut can be replaced with any rush or buffer unit.

Items: Rich cat, Sniper The Cat, Treasure Radar

Battle: When the battle starts, wait for the first Scissoroo to get close to your base. Turn off Sniper Cat and send one Catellite and spam Cameraman. Catellite should die in three hits, so time your next Catellite carefully. When Scissoroo takes 2 knockbacks, stop sending Catellites and spam Cameraman. There should only be Cameraman Cats on the field only at this point. This is very important as to not hit the base early and have as many Cameramans as possible. As the cats move closer to the enemy base, turn on Sniper, send in a few Catellites and tourist cat. When Kappy spawns, you just need to hope that RNG is on your side. All that's left to do is spam Cameraman, and sending in Tourist Cat and Macho Crystal Cat. Be sure to time Crystal Cat so it doesn't hit the Thrillerz. If you're in a pickle, use Bahamut or your rush unit + Catellite to stall and deal damage to Kappy. (although it's better to use it for the scissoroos if they stack). If your RNG is not good, then using ubers will help out a bit.

Note:

• Timing the stall at the start is very important, if Catellite is alive when Scissoroo dies, the base will be hit too early.
• You need to have a lot of Cameraman cats at the start to keep Kappy from advancing too much.
• Don't let the Scissoroos stack - they will melt through everything
• If you decide to use ubers, DON'T just spam them. Most of your money should be for spamming Cameraman.
• Having Cameraman and Catellite at a high level should help with stalling at the start and dealing more damage.
