Battleground
A few Heavenly Hippoes are sent out at the beginning. After 40 seconds, Angelic Gory will spawn, with 5 more Heavenly Hippoes spawning 16.7 seconds later.
When the enemy base is damaged, The Perfect Cyclone spawns as the boss, with 1 Angelic Sleipnir and 2 Gabriels as support. Gabriel starts to spawn infinitely.
Strategies
Strategy 1 (ft. Cosmo)
Lineup: Manic Mohawk Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Ramen Cat, Fishman Cat, Octopus Cat, Juliet the Maiko, Catophone, The Flying Cat, Manic Flying Cat, Ultima Galaxy Cosmo
Battle Items: Rich Cat
The main idea here is to slow and freeze the enemies with area attackers. Avoid knockback units as they will cause other units to miss their attacks on frozen/slowed enemies. Cosmo is ideal because of his dual Angel/Floating freeze capabilities.
Wait until the Heavenly Hippoes to are near the Cat Base, then deploy meatshields and Cosmo. Keep shielding and adding anti-Angel units. When the Heavenly Hippoes start to die off, add anti-Floating (Fishman and Octopus). When The Perfect Cyclone appears, keep meatshielding, and alternate anti-Floating and anti-Angel units.
Strategy 2 (ft. Dark Catman)
Lineup: Zombie Cat, Vengeful Cat, Necromancer Cat, Hyper Mr., Octopus Cat (32), Manic Eraser Cat (40), Ramen Cat (33), Manic Macho Legs (30), Manic Jamiera Cat (25), Dark Catman (40)
You could likely get away with lower levels for nearly all of these cats.
Upgrade your worker cat to level 2, then wait, when the first Heavenly Hippoe gets close, spawn a few Ramen Cats and then wait until several Hippoes have stacked up, then spawn Dark Catman. At this point, the flood of Hippoes should have started. Spawn several Ramens and Walls, and kill them with Catman, proceed to spawn an Octopus Cat and Manic Macho Legs during this time. At this point, spam Octopus Cat and Ramen. The goal is to keep Catman alive long enough to kill the Sleipnir. Once that is done, the level is pretty much over. Once the Sleipnir is dead, spam Octopus and Manic Jamiera. Upgrade your worker cat when you have excess money. One more thing is that you should attempt to match your Manic Jamiera spawn rate with the Gabriels. They are infrequent, but if they are left alone, they WILL kill all of your Octopus Cats.
Strategy 3
Lineup: Fishman Cat, Sportsgirl Cat, Awakened Bahamut Cat (30), Octopus Cat (36+2), Cyberpunk Cat (40+3, max Slow Up and Cost Down talent), Eraser Cat (20+47), Manic Eraser Cat (40), Ramen Cat (40+13), Manic King Dragon (33), King Dragon Cat (20+50)
Start off by starting to spam ramen cats, as well as 3 Manic Erasers, as well as upgrading your worker cat to level 2-3 Then, when the Angelic Gory spawns, stop spamming everything. Let the Gory hit your base and then spawn out A. Bahamut and start spamming Ramen again. This next bit is tricky. When A. Bahamut kills the Gory and there are 6-8 remaining Hippoes, stop spamming ramen. This will ensure Bahamut dies and doesn't hit the base. Chip away at the remaining hippos with Ramen until there is 1 left, Just keep spamming Manic Erasers after that and stall for 5 minutes and stack Cyberpunks, the higher the slow talent, the lower the wait. When you're ready, you can spam everything and hit the base, Now you can just spam meatshields and Dragons (Octo dies instantly). Hopefully, Slepnir should advance just enough for your Dragons to chip away at it. Then you just let your dragons do the work until Sleipnir is dead, then just spam Octo and Eraser for the Perfect Cyclone and win.
