High Priest Mamon is a force to be reckoned with. His attacks are devastating, with almost no way to avoid them or interrupt him. While he attacks non-stop, Cats are expected to break a massively powerful Shield, then deal with his massive health, which is no easy task. His long foreswing gives cats a chance to get in his range, but the attack, both Toxic and damaging, which also hits outside of his maximum range, is pretty much guaranteed to require a new batch of units for the next attack. Luckily, his speed and lack of downtime when attacking mean he will not move much if there are Cats ready to enter his range, meaning he has to rely on other enemies keeping cats off his range after he attacks.
Strategy[]
Stalling this enemy isn't that hard and you must drain his limited support while keeping him at bay. Then, slowly but surely, he will go down. For this to happen, you need to make sure that you have the proper units for whoever supports it, as to prevent them from getting in the way, but you also need fast meatshields, such as Manic Mohawk Cat, Manic Eraser Cat or TalentedJiangshi Cat. Once you are sure that he won't have many opportunities to move, add one or more Shield Piercing Cats to hopefully get rid of his shield. Aku Researcher works fine, but your best choice is the one-off Supercar who can occasionally sneak in and destroy his shield. Once the Shield is down, you can take advantage of the situation to knock High Priest Mamon back or keep attacking until he takes enough damage, then repeat until he dies, and obliterate the enemy base.

Trivia[]
He is more than likely a reference to the Dragon Quest character Hargon, as besides having similar designs, both are evil priests who aim to summon skull-wearing demonic gods of destruction (Malroth in Hargon's case, Lord of Ruin Jagando in High Priest Mamon's).
Mamon's design also bears similarities to Killvearn, another antagonist from the Dragon Quest franchise.
