Strategies

Strategy 1 (by Kaxzer the 1337)

Don't bring Rich Cat and Sniper The Cat. They can throw off timing.

Lineup:

• First Row: defence Up comboes to increase unit health.
• Second Row: Artist (or Ramen Cat) (30+6 or above recommended, unless in True Form), Lion, Macho Leg, (Both 20+40), Crazed Giraffe (20), Awakened Bahamut (30).
• Alternatively, you can include units such as Baseball Mask B or certain Ultra Souls in place of Macho Leg or some combo cats (as long as you can still apply a good combo/set of combos)

Strat:

• Start off by spawning a Crazed Giraffe as soon as you can. (If your timing is even a second off, he can die.) Then upgrade your Worker Cat to 2, and spawn Lion.
• Make sure to upgrade your Worker Cat to level 5. Don't spawn anything for a while.
• Wait for the first Angelic Gory to get close to your base. Then spawn Artist and the other three attackers, as well as A. Bahamut.
• Don't let Awakened Bahamut die early. He can take out the Angelic Gories and the first Sleipnir. After the first Sleipnir is knocked back, use the Cat Cannon to stop Clionel's attack. Then kill Sleipnir and proceed to Cruel Angel Clionel.
• If you do it perfectly, Cruel Angel Clionel should be knocked back twice, and Sleipnir 2 should be knocked back once.
• Start by not doing anything until you can spawn a second Awakened Bahamut. Just stall them. Let the Angel Gories get close to your base, and save the cat cannon.
• Use A. Bahamut 2 to take out the Angelic Gories and finish the second Sleipnir. Spam the attackers, and you should eventually bring down the Cruel Angel Clionel.
• More Sleipnir will spawn with more groups of Angelic Gory. Awakened Bahamut can take care of them and finish off the level. Congratulations! You win.

Notes:

• This strategy is very hard to replicate. You must have impeccable timing in many situations to defeat this level; even missing by less than a second can ruin the whole attempt.
• Since this strategy is so hard to replicate, it is not recommended to be used anymore.

Strategy 2 (Ft. Jizo, rich cat item)

Cat lineup:

Line 1: Sportswoman Cat Combo (Sportsgirl Cat, Butterfly Cat), Biohazard and Bony Bone Cat Combos (Skelecat, Necromancer Cat, Mr.)

Line 2: Ramen Cat, Kasa Jizo, Jamiera Cat, ranged anti-Angel Ubers (Recommended: Midsummer Cat, Dark Merchant Babil)

Combo Bonuses: Defence (Sm); Research (Sm) x2

Required Items: Rich Cat

At the start, wait for that Cruel Angel Clionel to appear, then begin spamming Ramen Cat and Jamieras. Both will possibly manage to deal some damage while advancing, depending on the amount of knockbacks from the Trolly Bloggers. When they reach Clionel, the first Angelic Sleipnir will be out on the stage. Continue to spam the two, but send out one of the long range anti-Angel Ubers (In the recommended, Midsummer Cat) when the Sleipnir is in front of Clionel. With Midsummer, it should be close or take 1 knockback before dying to Clionel. When the Gories pop out, spam Jizos. You can also spam Jizos when you have a surplus of money, but keep watch as to make sure you don't run too low.

While low on money, just spam Ramen to build back up. Continue this process, until the Gories stop spawning. As more Sleipnirs defend Clionel, start using Jizos and the other anti-Angels to defeat them. Once the Sleipnirs are gone, continue the spam of Ramen/Jizo/Jamiera. The close range damage will kill it quick.

This process takes a long time, the Angel Fanboy will appear, and likely behind Clionel. There is no worry, as the level should be completed soon after.

Strategy 3 (ft. Zeus and Dark Merchant Babil)

Row 1: Biohazard Cat Combo (Skelecat and Mr.) + Art History Cat Combo (Ramen Cat and Bronze Cat)

Row 2: Manic Lion (20) Cat's Gift (15) Awakened Bahamut Cat (30) Dark Merchant Babil (29) Thunder God Zeus (26)

Execution: Spawn 2 Manic Lions immediately and upgrade the Worker Cat to level 5 or 6. Then spawn 1 Ramen Cat to kill the Trolly Bloggers. Then when the first Angelic Gory comes spawn Dark Merchant Babil and kill Angelic Sleipnir. If you can’t kill Sleipnir then try to knock it back once. If you never even hit it with Dark Merchant Babil then the attempt is ruined. Spawn A. Bahamut to finish the Sleipnir and then fire the Cat Cannon so that he can get into Cruel Angel Clionel's blind spot. Clionel should be knocked back twice by now. Kill the second wave of Gories with Zeus and damage Angelic Sleipnir (or at least knock it back) and then spawn another A. Bahamut, finish it, and then destroy Cli-onel. Another wave of Gories will come and by the time that happens you will have Dark Merchant Babil refreshed and ready to finish the stage.

Notes:

This strategy may not work. When the Gories come and when Cli-one attacks are up to pure luck. A slight mistake or accident could ruin the entire attempt.

Dark Merchant Babil will die in 4 hits from Clionel so time him properly or else he may not hit or do anything to help.

Make sure Dark Merchant Babil WILL hit the Angelic Gories and Sleipnir. If you don’t then it could end very badly...

DO NOT lure Clionel too close when you're going to spawn Babil or Zeus. Clionel could snipe the Cat Base from a very far distance.

If you keep on losing, understand why. it can help you a lot especially if you keep a recording and look back at your mistakes so you can fix them.

Another note. If your ubers are very high leveled then you may not need the Art history combo. You can use Bioharzard and Boney Bone combo along with Manglev too. The strat will work even better with this but yet again, if your ubers are not high leveled, don’t replace it with these cats and combos.

Strategy 4 (ft. King Gamereon)

Lineup: Manic Macho (30), Manic Eraser (43), *Li'l Dark Cat (40+3), Ramen (41+10), *Metal Cat (20), Maglev (35), Crazed Giraffe (27), *Cyborg (48+9), A. Bahamut (40), King Gamereon (36)

*Probably completely optional, or even wasted spaces. Feel free to replace them with combos and see if it works.

Note: The levels listed are those used upon completion of the stage, they may not be the minimum levels required to beat the stage.

1. Spawn Maglev right after Clionel spawns. Don't worry about the trolly bloggers, because every time they knock maglev back, maglev will attack again and kill them.
2. When you have enough money, release Gamereon. His "shelf-life" in this stage is about equal to his recharge time (at 36), so there's no worries there. Just respawn him every chance you get.
3. Spam meat shields, maglev, and giraffe. (Don't spawn the latter two if you're saving up for Bahamut/Gamereon, but money isn't really an issue here)
4. If you're lucky, you can get A. Bahamut in Clionel's blindspot between rounds of sleipnirs to deal massive damage.

Overall, this strategy plays out like fighting a regular level instead of 4-D chess. The difficulty really depends the level of your Ramen and Gamereon. If they are highly leveled, there is plenty of leeway and the stage will feel like a breeze.

Strategy 5 (ft. Immortal Yukimura)

Lineup : Sisters Act Cat Combo (Not mandatory) Ramen Cat (40) Manic Lion Cat (40) Immortal Yukimura Sanada Yukimura or Wargod Yukimura is okay too, but recommend the True Form. (at least level 30) Awakened Bahamut Cat (30) insert any cat you want in the rest of the slots.

Items : Mandatory Rich Cat

The way to exploit this level is that Yukimura can attack right again when it is knocked back. This way you can use Trolly Bloggers to knock back Yukimura so it can attack constantly. Beware of the Sleipnir since it can easily kill A. Bahamut/ Yukimura.

At the start of the stage, send one Manic Lion Cat to keep the boss at bay, while Trolly Bloggers begin to spawn, it won't be a threat. When Sleipnir spawns, be sure that you have a line of Ramen Cats to prevent it from going near your base. Send A. Bahamut to kill the Sleipnir, and at the right time, (When Clione finishes it's attack) send Yukimura and never stop sending Ramens and Manic Lions. Trolly Bloggers should constantly push Yukimura, so it can keep attacking the boss, and Slice! The boss should be dead. Congratulations! You defeated the boss and got Cataway Cat!

Note : If you fail, it's because the Trolly Bloggers went in front of the boss and got killed by your cats. This leads to a failure since it takes time for them to stack up, and if there is 2 Sleipnirs on the field, you will lose. Try to keep the Trolly Bloggers at bay.
