Strategy

Meatshields and fast attacking mid-rangers are all that's needed. Thus, this stage can easily be completed with meatshields and Hurricat or another alternative such as Cheerleader Cat or Hayabusa

Strategy 1 (Speedrun)

Lineup: Any Speed Up (M) Cat Combo, Lion Cat 20+10, Crazed Giraffe Cat 10, Power Cutter Cat 15, Super Mr.

Battle: At the start of the battle, save up 950¢ and spawn a Power Cutter, then put out Crazed Giraffe as soon as you can. They should take out the first two Goldoges. After that, spam the rest of the team and you should win just as the Golden R.Ost spawns. Happy farming!

Strategy 2 (Improved Speedrun)

Lineup

Activated Combos

Crazy Hearts
Starting Money UP (L)

Notes: Maglev can be switched out for Fishman or Courier.

Cat Base
Any
Any
Any

Lineup: Crazy Hearts, Maglev Cat, Awakened Bahamut Cat

Notes: Maglev can be switched out for Fishman or Courier.

Battle: At the start of the battle, immediately spawn Maglev (or Courier/Fishman) to kill the Goldoge and gain money, then spawn Bahamut soon after. Bahamut will kill the second Goldoge and Maglev will hit the base and deal enough damage for Bahamut to one shot the base. This run will usually take around 14 seconds and it is an efficient way of farming. If you use Courier, it may take slightly longer.
