Strategy[]
This stage can be particularly difficult (relative to the stages leading up to it), given that the restriction disables many Cats with Warp Immunity like Rover Cat and Miter Saw Cat, and there is a rush of Starred Aliens that can easily push back the player's cats.
Chapters 1 & 2[]
This strategy should be doable with just Normal/Special Cats, and only the Treasures from before this level.
Strategy 1: Stalling for Awakened Bahamut Cat[]
Level 20
Level 30
Level 20
Level 20+10
Level 20
Level 20
Level 20
Level 30
Level 30
Lineup: Macho Cat 20, Samba Cat 30, Wall Cat 20, Macho Leg Cat 20+10, UFO Cat 20, Whale Cat 20, Dragon Cat, Mythical Titan Cat 20, Awakened Bahamut Cat 30, Ururun Cat 30
Two 75 cent meatshields, Macho Leg Cat (30), Awakened Bahamut Cat (30), and Wall Cat are required to survive the start of the stage for this setup. The rest of the units can be replaced with special cats, ubers, or money related cat combos to handle the enemies after the initial Shibalien Elites and Star Peng. The listed lineup is meant to be a minimal setup for accessibility and may take multiple tries with these exact levels and units (higher normal cat levels or better units will improve consistency). For higher normal cat levels (20+30 or higher), refer to Strategy 2.
The goal is to stall the Shibalien Elites with Samba and Macho Cat until you have enough cash to send out Awakened Bahamut Cat. At the start, spam Macho and Samba Cats. When the first B.B. Bunny spawns, send one Macho Leg Cat. This should kill the B.B. Bunny for more cash and slow down the enemy pushing. Keep spamming Macho and Samba cats until you get enough money to send out Awakened Bahamut Cat. If you have around 4000 cash and the Shibalien Elites are very close to the Cat Base, stop sending Macho and Samba Cats to save up for Awakened Bahamut Cat (otherwise you won't have enough cash/base health).
The Shibalien Elites will push to the base but Bahamut will knock them back and use the cat base as a shield. After sending Bahamut, spam Macho, Samba, and Wall Cats to stall and give Bahamut more time to knock them back. The Shibalien Elites should be cleared after two or three attacks and you should have enough room and cash to send out your other expensive/powerful units (if you replaced any of the normal cats with them) and win.
For the lineup mentioned at the start, you need to spam your meatshields and send one Dragon and one Macho Leg Cat to damage the Ginger Snaches. Once the first Star Peng dies, you can send out Ururun Cat and multiple Macho Leg and Dragon Cats. When the One Horn gets around 60% of the base (roughly when the second Pigge dies), send out Whale Cat.
After this point, Bahamut is at risk of dying; try to keep Bahamut alive as long as possible. Use the Cat Cannon when the One Horn is close to attacking to stall longer. If you have excess cash (above 5000), you can send out Mythical Titan and UFO Cat. Ideally, Bahamut will survive up to the two Imperator Saels and heavily damage the Star Peng supporting the Saels.
From there, you need to keep sending out Macho Leg Cats to deal with the aliens and save cash for another Awakened Bahamut Cat. Ururun Cat, Dragon Cats, and Macho Leg Cats should deal with the remaining starred aliens and survive long enough to send a second Awakened Bahamut Cat. After you send out the second Awakened Bahamut Cat, you basically won the stage.
For this guide, if Bahamut dies before damaging the Star Peng supporting the Imperator Saels, you should force restart and try again. Refer to the walkthrough below for a video reference of this strategy.
Strategy 2: High normal cat level units[]
Level 20+30
Level 20+30
Level 20+30
Level 20+30
Level 30
Lineup: Cat Army, The Flying Cat 20+30, King Dragon Cat 20+30, Island Cat 20+30, Jamiera Cat 20+30, Awakened Bahamut Cat 30
Let Shibalien Elite get 3/4 the way to your base, spawn King Dragon and Macho Legs, and start spamming your meatshields. When you get a chance, send out more of them alongside Jamiera Cats. This should let you push back a bit.
Your money should start to accumulate once you start taking down more enemies. At this point, you can spawn Bahamut. Keep spamming all other cats, and your cats should reach the enemy base.
Depending on the levels of your cats, expect the Cat Base to take some damage. The challenge is to time things right so that you don't take too much damage before you can get out enough cats to effectively overwhelm the Warpers.
Chapter 3[]
Strategy 1 (Rush)[]
Level 20+29
Level 30
Level 20+29
Level 20+36
Level 30
Level 30
Lineup: Biohazard, Bony Bone, Mohawk Cat, Eraser Cat 20+29, Ultimate Bondage Cat 30, Island Cat 20+29, Jamiera Cat 20+36, Awakened Bahamut Cat 30, Cat God the Awesome 30
Cannon: Breakerblast
Stall the Squire Rels with Erasers for money, then when the Kroxo comes near, start stacking up Jamieras and Islands. Be careful with your cash. You need enough money to send out A. Bahamut Cat as they hit the base. Watch as the stack gets warped behind, then start concentrating on saving up for Cat God the Awesome. Send him out when they get near the base and start spamming Mohawks and Erasers (and Ultimate Bondages) and fire your Breakerblast. As Cat God knocks the Bore and Mesocosmocyclone back, the enemy base should already be nearly destroyed. Close the app and reopen if Bahamut dies for whatever reason.
Strategy 2 (Alt Rush)[]
Level 20+40
Level 20+40
Level 20+40

Level 30
Level 40
Lineup: Mohawk Cat, Gato Amigo, Eraser Cat 20+40, Macho Leg Cat 20+40, King Dragon Cat 20+40, Island Cat 20+40, Li'l King Dragon Cat 40, Li'l Island Cat 40, Li'l Macho Legs Cat 30, Awakened Bahamut Cat 40
Cannon: Breakerblast
Stall the Squire Rels with Mohawk Cat. When the first Kroxo comes up, stall with Macho Legs. Once you have enough money, upgrading Worker Cat as high as neccessary, spam dual legs, dragons, and islands. Before everything reaches the base, send out Awakened Bahamut.
The stage, once the base gets hit, turns into a rush to kill the enemy base before the Bore and Mesocosmocyclone destroy yours. If your units are high enough level, you should do it with a medium margin for error.
