==Strategy==
Having most if not all your lineup be surge immune is required, as Malevolent Macho Legs has 100% uptime on its surge with many surges stacking at once and can deal massive DPS. Meatshields like talented Gato Amigo, Cactus Cat, and Cone Cat (Although not being surge immune, has very high health against Aku/Relics). Your attackers should consist of Awakened Doron, Awakened Naala, Jagando, or any effective surge immune Uber Rares. Li'l King Dragon Cat is a must-have, being one of the few spammable surge immune attackers, which is very effective against the Sir Rels pushing power and for good damage in general. Bringing a Rich Cat is also highly recommended, as money is extremely tight in this stage.
===Strategy 1===
When the battle begins, lure the first Malevolent Macho Legs until it gets approximately 3/4 of the way to your base. At this point, spawn Ape Lord Luza and spam your meatshields until you can afford Naala. Once Naala is on the field, you should win, as long as you spam your meatshields and spawn Li'l King Dragon Cats when you have a decent amount of cash. Make sure to spawn Doron when Othom arrives to alleviate the pressure a bit.
==Trivia==
*Devilish Strides is a Merciless stage in BCJP, but is only Insane in BCEN, despite having a higher star difficulty than even Manic awakening stages.
*Prior to Version 13.0, the enemy base had 1,500,000 HP instead of 2,500,000.
