Strategy

This stage greatly limits the number of units you can use compared to Unholy Tempest. Some of the best cats to use here are Weedwacker Cat, Ectoweight Cat, Cameraman Cat, Shigong Cat, and Thaumaturge Cat. Just like the original stage, Pastry Cat can also be usable with a Slow Effect Up Combo. If you plan on using the Weedwacker perma-Freeze strategy here, just make sure that you don't bring too many Freeze Effect Up Combos that you are unable to defend yourself from the other Zombie enemies. Also make sure that you kill Zyclone before you get overwhelmed by something like a Zang Roo.

Strategy 1

Lineup: 5 cats for defense, attack, research or, better, accounting Combos, Ectoweight, Weedwacker, Cameraman, Cat Jobs and Macho Legs.

All you really have to do is spam since there's not much else you can do, but still, here's what you want to remember: Cameraman deals high DPS but has no Zombie Killer, so what you want to do is upgrade the cannon a bit, then spam only the zombie stallers on the first Zoge, allowing them to engage the cyclone at once, with eventual help from Cat Jobs. After that, add Cameraman in place of Ectoweight until Zyclone has taken the third knockback; at that point, pray that your defenses break so you can just spam Zombie Killers and beat him for good; otherwise you just rinse and repeat.

Strategy 2 (Ft. Healer)

Lineup: Gross!!! + Pumpkinpants, Manic Eraser Eraser, Healer Cat CC, Thaumaturge (any spammable zombie killer is fine though), Weedwacker Cat.

Cannon: Holy Blast

If you are not planning on using a Rich Cat, level up your Worker Cat to level 3 in the beginning. Start off by sending out 1 or 2 Weedwacker cats to kill and or stall the Zoges when the first Zoge hits your base. Let your Weedwackers die, and then spam everything once this happens. Your Healer Cat will stun the Zyclone and will be permafrozen. Spam everything, and you will hopefully get a Z-kill on the first Zyclone and be able to push towards the base and destroy it. If you do not Z-kill the Zyclone, let him come closer to your base, so you can reset the permafreeze cycle with Healer.

Trivia

• This stage was only rated as Insane in BCJP, but it is Deadly in BCEN.
  • This was eventually fixed.
