Battleground

• 1 The Face spawns as the boss after 0 seconds^0f.
• 1 Oldhorn spawns after 16.67 seconds^500f.
• 5 Mesocosmocyclones spawn after 26.67 seconds^800f, delay 25.33 seconds^760f.

Strategy

The stage is much more straightforward than the previous one. Simply apply the same strategies you would normally use for Mesocosmocyclones and Oldhorns at the same time. Equip 3-4 meatshields, Castaway Cat (32), Psychocat, Can Can (44), and Thaumaturge Cat. Lure the Mesocosmocyclone and Oldhorn as close to the base as you dare (maybe 1/5 of the stage left) and spam all the cats. The Oldhorn should die before The Face gets too close.

Strategy 1 (Low Treasure Strat)

Lineup: Freeze up medium (Gross!!!), Freeze up small (Pumpkinpants), Ultra Deliquent Cat (30+1), Manic Eraser Cat (50), Eraser Cat (20+49), Healer Cat CC (N/A), Corrupted Psychocat (N/A), Seafarer Cat (39+5)

Treasures: 870%

Upgrade your wallet once while waiting for the first Mesocosmocyclone to appear. Once they cross halfway to your base, deploy Seafarer, Psychocat, and your meatshields in order to hopefully freeze them (Seafarer freeze up talents makes this significantly easier, but I did it without it). If seafarer or Psychocat doesn't proc, force close. Send out healer and deliquent while cutting back on your meatshield usage, continue to spam Seafarer and Psychocat. When Oldhorn begins to approach your base begin to meatshield again while spawning another deliquent as soon as you can. With a bit of luck, you can perma freeze every upcoming Mesocosmocyclone left with seafarer and healer. With time the enemies will die off, leaving you with an easy victory killing off The Face.
