Strategy
Rushers excel here when Evil Emperor Cat is alone as the enemy limit is low; here are some examples: Idi:N2, Awakened Bahamut, Immortal Yukimura, and Bullet Train Cat. It is better if the Cat has Anti-Relic/Evade Surge abilities. Although they do not work as well as the previously mentioned cats, other rusher-class cats are usable in this stage.
Long-ranged units that can outrange Evil Emperor Cat also excel here, such as Cyberpunk Cat (with the Slow Up Talent), Assassinlan Pasalan with the Slow Up Talent, and Piccolan Pasalan with Freeze Up Cat Combos. Lastly, some generally good units that can do massive damage to all enemies here are Can Can Cat (Speed Up and Money Up Talents are both recommended) and Greater Balrog Cat (Attack Up and Attack Buff Talents are recommended for higher damage). Cats in the Cradle are another viable choice if leveled high enough. Their Wave Attack can deal decent damage to the boss and the peons, not to mention being immune to freeze makes them a generally useful unit.
Trivia
- The background used in this stage was added in version 10.0, but was unimplemented and had a color scheme closer to that of Saint Red Fox.
Older Prelude to Ruin background
- Incidentally, 10.0 was the same update that added Dawn of the Beginning, whose Japanese name is the opposite of Dead End Night's, along with placeholders for Stone Cat, who was an unnamed Legend Cat, and Evil Emperor Cat, then named コニャンダム亜種 Konyandamu Ashu ("Li'l Nyandam Variant").
- The "Demon King" (魔王 Maō) mentioned in the Japanese name of this stage, Possessed by the Demon King, could be an allusion to Mystic Uril's description.
- Prior to the Version 10.2.1 Update, this stage had one less Capy, fewer Sir Rels and earlier enemy spawns.
