Strategy[]
The most important parts of this stage is to stall the 3 Capies at the beginning, and to kill the Berserkory. Cats like iCat can be helpful for stalling at the start, as money is very tight in this stage. Try to eliminate 2 of the Capies and save the last one for money stalling. The boss shockwave is also a problem. There is a professor A, but a combination of Roe and Courier should work well. Courier also works wonders on the other red threats in the stage.
The most threatening part of this stage is the Berserkory, as he can cripple your meatshields, which lets the J.K Bun Bun or the Capies kill your attackers. Octopus Cat, iCat, and Dread Pirate Catley all help in preventing this from happening. Talented Dread Pirate Catley is even better, as the Berserkory's waves will not affect him. Synergy with Courier will demolish Berserkory. Good Ubers for this stage include Thundia, Eva Unit-02, Mighty Drednot, or any other anti-Red attackers or debuffers.
Strategy 1[]
Cat Base
|
---|
Cannon: Breakerblast |
Style: Any |
Foundation: Any |
Lineup: Manic Mohawk Cat, Mohawk Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Eraser Cat, Manic Macho Legs, Drone Cat, iCat, Dread Pirate Catley, Luxury Bath Cat, Dark Emperor Catdam
Cannon: Breakerblast
Items: Rich Cat
Notes: Manic Eraser and Manic Macho Legs does not have to be true formed.
At the beginning of the stage, stall the first Capy with Manic Mohawk and Mohawk Cat. After the Second and Third Capies come out, sacrifice one of your range attackers to bait the capies and use breakerblast or the cat cannon to sync them. once you've gained enough money, spawn Manic Macho Legs and Drone Cats.
Once you have hit the base, you should have a big stack of Drone Cats and Catleys. Now spawn Catdam. Spam all of your meatshields no matter what. Berserkory should spawn now. Hope that he doesn't wave or gets frozen and knockbacked by Catley and iCat. If Berserkory dies first, you'll have a much easier time, but if J.K Bun Bun dies first, there will be a big problem. Once both Berserkory and J.K Bun Bun die, slowly kill Professor A. with Catdam and other Cats. After killing him, the stage should be no problem at all.

- Do not use the Cat Cannon.
In the beginning of the stage, upgrade your wallet to lvl 3, then, once the first Capy gets 2/3 of the way to the Cat Base, start spawning in Jiangshi Cat and Li'l Cat, and start sending out Dread Pirate Catley and Courier Cat after 7 seconds. Once the capies die, upgrade your wallet to lvl 5. When the base is hit, constantly summon Dread Pirate Catley and Courier Cat, only summon Dancer Cat if you have atleast 5000 cash. Most of the enemies will get constantly knocked back from Catley and die from Courier Cat, once all the threats except Professor A. dies, stop sending out Catley and Dancer Cat, but keep spawning Courier Cat, eventually, Professor A. will die, making you win.
Strategy 3 (4 crowns; post-An Ancient Curse)[]
Level 50
Level 40

- Other slots can be filled by any other spammable ranged attacker that can survive a hit from Berserkory, preferably one that is slow, such as Cameraman Cat or Cyborg Cat
- Jurassic Cat is only used for the combo Mini-Saurus
Cat Base

Cannon: Any |
Style: Any |
Foundation: Any |
Lineup: Mini-Saurus, Catburger, Courier Cat 50, Awakened Bahamut Cat 40, Awakened Ururun 40, Dread Pirate Catley
Notes:
- Other slots can be filled by any other spammable ranged attacker that can survive a hit from Berserkory, preferably one that is slow, such as Cameraman Cat or Cyborg Cat
- Jurassic Cat is only used for the combo Mini-Saurus
Battle: Stall the starting Capies by killing two of them with Courier and stalling the last one, to get max money. Don't spam an overly excessive amount of meatshields or you may hit the Cat Limit. Stack your spammable attacker on the last remaining Capy. Once the Capy dies, deploy Ururun and any other backliner you may have brought along, and start spamming Courier a while later. Start deploying Pirate Cat after the boss spawns (you may want to try the stage once or twice without spawning Pirate Cat at all, as it introduces a lot of RNG into the fight, and you might not need Pirate Cat). Time your Bahamut to hit Berserkory just as it reaches the frontline.
Berserkory has 920k health. Lv40 Awakened Bahamut's first hit deals 97.5k damage. It should be able to get its first hit off at least twice, for 195k damage. Lv50 Courier deals 44840 damage against reds per hit. You'll need slightly more than 16 Courier hits to kill Berserkory, but the other spammable attacker should help to kill Berserkory faster. Ideally, due to you having very weak meatshields, they should constantly get killed before Berserkory hits them. Once it's dead, you've pretty much won.
