Battleground
- After 3.33 seconds100f, 9 Wall Doges will be spawned, followed by an Elder Sloth (at 26.67 seconds800f mark).
- If 3 Wall Doges are killed, they will be replaced by Elder Sloths while the rest are Those Guys when the battle has been on for 50 seconds1,500f.
Strategy
Of course, the goal is to just stall for at least fifty seconds, then kill everything with relative ease.
If you have Cat God the Great or a unit with a very long range, Kill the Wall Doges in the beginning (use cheaper attackers like Cameraman Cat or Cyborg). Then spawn in Cat God the Awesome and meatshield until he eventually destroys the enemy base. Due to how Omnistrike interacts with bases, Cat god will stay at a safe distance, while other units need a massive range. Either way, just stalling should be easier.
Strategy 1 (Major Leaguer)
Use Manic Mohawk Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Eraser Cat, Zamboney, and Major Leaguer, along with Unit Defense UP Combos.
At the start spawn a Manic Eraser and then Zamboney when you have enough cash, and then continue to meatshield. When you have enough money spawn Major Leaguer Cat. The major leaguer should miss the Wall Doges and hit the enemy base. Stack up Major Leaguers until you win.

If the player doesn't have Zamboney Cat, there is an alternate version of this strategy using Research Effect UP Combos and a fourth meatshield as replacements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGiX6p2TD1k
Strategy 2 (ft. Sharpshooter Saki)
Using the above strategy on 2★ and 3★ star, the Elder Sloths and Wall Doges creep up on your Major Leaguers. This strategy is consistently easier.
Lineup: 4 meatshields and Sharpshooter Saki
Combos: Lingerie Special, Two as One, Koi and Dragon or another Cat Cannon Recharge UP Combo.
Cat Cannon: Breakerblast
Battle Items: Rich Cat is useful, but unnecessary.
You'll want to save up enough for Sharpshooter Saki while spamming 3-4 meatshields. Use Breakerblast when available and you should be able to keep the Wall Doges pinned to their base. Once you spawn Saki, she will be out of range, but once you fire the Cannon she will move up enough to hit the base for 73k damage a shot. The stage will be over in about 2 minutes.
Strategy 3 (Cheese ft. Nerd Cat)
This cheese is most suited for 1★, for people who do not have Zamboney nor Major Leaguer. Note: This may be difficult if your Erasers are underleveled.
Lineup: Eye of the Storm (Bronze Cat, Rope Jump Cat, Space Cat, Clockwork Cat, Hoop Cat), Manic Eraser Cat (Level 28), Eraser Cat (20+22), Gato Amigo (26), Nerd Cat (27+3) [Hacker/Cyberpunk does not work]
Cat Cannon: Do not use the Cat Cannon.
Battle Items': Rich Cat is recommended, do not use Sniper the Cat.
Battle: Stall the first Wall Doges with Manic Eraser, then start spawning both Erasers when the rest of the Wall Doges appear. Spawn Nerd Cats whenever you can. Nerd Cat is used for his single-target attack, as the goal is to destroy the base without taking out the Wall Doges.
When the Wall Doges are out of range of Nerd Cat, start spawning Gato Amigos to keep them from advancing too much. However, do not spam Gato Amigos as they will slowly damage the Wall Doges (this is the difficult part of the cheese). The Nerd Cat(s) should destroy the base before any of the Wall Doges die, although it's fine if one or two die right at the end.
If your Erasers cannot keep the Wall Doges back without Gato Amigos killing them, you can try using another meatshield (preferably 75¢ and low damage).
