Strategy

This level is very easy with fast attackers. Take cheap and fast cats: Lion, Manic Lion, Manic Wall, Express Cat, and Awakened Bahamut are good candidates. Spam Lions immediately as you save up for Awakened Bahamut. Then send Manic Walls and lions until the base is destroyed. Tackey will shoot over the heads of your attackers, and they should be able to destroy the base quickly.

Strategy 1

First of all: You need ALL anti-alien treasures to beat this stage. If not, Alpacky will kill your Awakened Bahamut in four or less hits, but you need him to survive FIVE hits or you won't be able to beat this stage.

Lineup: Crazy Hearts or a better set of starting money up combos, Awakened Bahamut Cat, any other rushers you have, like Manic Lion Cat.

Start the battle and immediately spawn a C. giraffe cat (do that until you have five of them on the attacking the wall doge), then start summoning crazed wall cats. Your C. giraffe cats will have killed the walls by now and you should be able to spawn A. Bahamut. If done correctly, your A. Bahamut will hit the base two times before the Alpacky spawns and attacks A. Bahamut. When that happens then good job! You are most likely going to win. Note that in rare occasions your C. giraffe cats might get knockbacked and then are hit with the tackey projectiles, which results in them dying earlier. This can decrease the chance of winning, unfortunately.
