Strategy
Due to Divine Cyclone's extremely high DPS and lack of knockbacks, the use of Anti-Angel Units with slow, freeze, or knockback abilities is mandatory. Ubers such as Princess Kaguya or Momotaro (first form for both) can trivialize the stage, but, if not using Ubers, one must rely on Stilts Cat or the 2 Super Rares that target Angels instead. The Grateful Crane's base form with its fast attack speed and good knockback chance is incredibly effective in tandem with Stilts Cat.
Strategy 1
Lineup: Artist Cat (Eraser Cat if Artist isn't an option), 2 other meatshields, Paris Cat, Stilts Cat, Crazed Bahamut Cat, and other Anti-Angels you may have.
With Stilts Cat, this stage becomes easy, although slightly unreliable, as Stilts Cat can stun-lock Divine Cyclone into never getting an attack. Therefore, heavily spam Stilts Cats while sending out meatshields, Paris and Bahamut Cat as needed.
Strategy 2 (Cheese)
Lineup: Power of Darkness, Bony Bone, Biohazard, Ramen Cat, Professor Cat Jobs (TF recommended), and any high DPS cats.
Professor Cat Jobs’ range is higher than Divine Cyclone’s range, so if you use Professor Cat Jobs to weaken Divine Cyclone, it'll be powerless against your Ramen Cats. It will only do 1% of its damage, and it will be permanently weakened thanks to the weaken combo. After it is weakened, use any high DPS cats such as A. Bahamut, Kalisa, etc. to kill it and finish the stage.
Strategy 3
Lineup: Sanzo Cat (Angel Talent), and literally anything else you want.
Sanzo's Angel target makes this stage a complete joke. Every single enemy here are short ranged angel enemies (excluding Angel Fanboy), meaning stacking up Sanzo can permanently slow everything in the level. It's basically a free win from there. Spam your high DPS cats to kill the Cyclone quickly.
Sanzo's Survive talent works well here too, in case your Cats aren't very strong and Divine Cyclone is able to reach your Sanzo stack through the Permaslow. For this reason, Weaken can be a useful Talent, though admittedly not quite as helpful.
Note: Because this strategy requires Talents, this strategy will not be possible if you haven't beaten Into the Future Chapter 3.
Trivia
