Strategy

Strategy 1

Lineup: Manic Mohawk Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Eraser Cat, iCat, Manic Macho Legs, Manic Island Cat, Manic Flying Cat, Seafarer Cat, Slapstick Cats, Drone Cat.

The first minute is definitely the hardest part of the stage, so don't feel ashamed to use a Rich Cat. If you can get past the first Bore, he should leave you with enough money to handle everything that spawns thereafter. iCat and Seafarer are for Bore and Nimoy Bore respectively, Slapstick Cats and some Wave Attackers are to control the hordes of Sir Rels. You can also bring a unit with high DPS to prevent the Bores from stacking too much (the obvious candidate is Awakened Bahamut Cat).

Strategy 2 (3 Crowns)

Lineup: Macho Legs 20+90, Manic Macho Legs 35+, Creepmallow (for Gross!!!), Seafarer Cat 50+, Island Cat 20+90 (for Sunbathers), Manic Eraser Cat 50, Eraser Cat 20+90, iCat 30, Can Can Cat 50+ (full Talents recommended), Housewife Cat 50+ (Savage Blow talent recommended).

The quick start with the powerful Sir Rels means it's harder to keep them at bay. Take care of the first Sir Rel and wait for Bore to come to your base. After that, don't deploy meatshields and instead focus on deploying your attackers, as the Gross!!! combo means iCat has near-perfect uptime. When the Sir Rels are coming again, continue meatshielding. Macho Legs and Island Cat are low priority until you have enough Area Attackers available to deal with future Sir Rel invasions. Can Can Cat, despite being single target, greatly helps when it comes to taking out the Bores, and taking out the first Bore gives enough money to deal with the rest of the stage.

Trivia

• The name "John Gool" is a pun on jungle.
• Prior to Version 10.10, Bore was buffed to 300% instead of 200% while Nimoy Bore was buffed to 800% instead of 600%.
