Lifesaving Shovel is the sixth and final stage in The Gelatin Mines. Urs & Fenrir and Croconator debut here. Upon completion, players have a 3% chance to unlock Urs & Fenrir (guaranteed if a Treasure Radar is used). This is a No Continues stage.
Battleground[]
- 1 Urs & Fenrir spawns as the boss after 3.33 seconds100f.
- 8 Croconators spawn after 5 seconds150f, delay 2~4 seconds60f~120f.
- 3 Rain Ds spawn after 26.67 seconds800f, delay 80 seconds2,400f.
- 400 Croconators spawn, delay 8~12 seconds240f~360f.
Strategy[]
The use of units with more than 500 range is highly recommended.
Using dual erasers and jiangshi is a great help.
Strategy 1 (Cheese)[]
The easiest way to beat this stage is to exploit the weak peons and the enemy limit, although it requires decently high levels or rare units.
Level 25
Level 30
Level 35+
Level 30
Level 30
Level 30
Lineup: Manic Mohawk Cat 25, Manic Eraser Cat 30, Green Shell Cat 35+, Golfer Cat 30, Awakened Mina 30, Awakened Bahamut Cat 30
Cannon: Thunderbolt
Notes: Extra slots can be used for Cat Combos (prioritize Cat Base Defense, Research and Attack UP Combos) or/and Long Distance units (with at least 550 effective range, more than 200 blind spot, and either anti-Relic abilities or good damage such as Bad-Luck Ebisu, Chronos, Aphrodite and/or Awakened Mina)
Battle: Do not use the meatshields; instead, forget they exist for now. Start by doing nothing until all Croconators are attacking the Cat Base. Once they're all hitting it, send out Green Shell Cat and start stacking the Long Distance attackers, sending out another Green Shell Cat occasionally. What should happen is that these units will let Urs & Fenrir attack the base, but they will also knock them back and keep them there. After a while, the damage will build up as more units are added, thus preventing Urs & Fenrir from ever attacking again and killing them after a short while. The next step is to either wait there and do the same to the Rain D. trio or to advance and use the meatshields to block them and fight them normally. Once they are gone, the meatshields will quickly clear the enemies until the Long Distance attackers can reach the enemy base and destroy it.
Strategy 2[]
Level 50+16
Level 50
Level 40
Level 40
Lineup: Biohazard, Bony Bone, Sportswoman, Ramen Cat (Defense Buff Talent 10) 50+16, Bullet Train Cat 50, Awakened Bahamut Cat 40, Cyberpunk Cat 40, Sniper the Heavy
Notes: Sniper the Recurit's True Form not required, but recommended.
In place of Sniper the Heavy or A. Bahamut, the use of eventual Uber Rare Cats with exceptional range is recommended, but it is far from necessary.
Battle: To start, just upgrade the Worker Cat to level 2; once the boss shockwave occurs, summon a Ramen Cat and keep spamming him for the rest of the fight, just a bit less often to spare money if Urs is yet to be reached. The next step is to summon Cyberpunk Cat, then Sniper the Heavy. For the whole fight, Ramen will take care of the Croconators while the 2 backliners help preventing the enemies from advancing, but that isn't going to be enough when 3 Rain Ds stack, so the use of Bullet Train and Bahamut is mandatory.
Make sure that Urs is attacking and no Croconator is about to get in the way when spawning one of these rushers, then use the Cat Cannon to allow Bahamut to deliver a second hit. This way, each Rain D. will die shortly before the one after the next is summoned, so all three should never stack. Eventually, you'll stack enough Cyberpunks and Snipers to push the boss close to the base, where they'll easily die, granting you a victory.
