==Strategy==
Aside from the nasty Zombie peons, this stage has some of the strongest Starred Aliens in the game, therefore it is absolutely crucial to obtain all anti-Starred Alien Treasures before attempting it. Because the Death Angel Z-Onels can revive infinitely with less than a second between revives, Zombie Killers may be needed in order to get past them. Here, the Holy Blast is one of the best Cannons to use for its Zombie Killer and high damage against the Z-Onels, and it is highly recommended to upgrade it as much as possible. At levels 20-30, it damages them for 10-15% of their maximum health (100,000-150,000), which may be enough to land the finishing blow on one of them.
===Recommended Units===
*Cadaver BearCat - Cadaver BearCat, though hindered by its poor range, deals Insane Damage to Zombies and has Zombie Killer. Many strategies employing this unit seek to stack and sneak them into Death Angel Z-Onel's blindspot to cripple if not outright destroy them, and then sweep the field with a Holy Blast to seal the deal. It isn't easy and can foil the entire attempt, but it's much more consistent than it seems.
*Slime - Slime is a suicide bomber with miniscule health but can generate level 5 wave attacks to whittle down peons and bosses, which given the amount of zombies in this stage can repeatedly occur as they burrow or resurface.
===Recommended Ubers===
*CAT-8 Behemoth: With its insane effective HP against Zombies, CAT-8 Behemoth can at the very least soak up some hits and chip out some damage to Z-Onel. Its Long Distance and Wave Attacks can also clear out the Zuches (if it happens to hit them), and can do some damage to the other enemies. Don't be fooled by its relatively lackluster performance elsewhere; Behemoth's tankiness can stall the Z-Onels just enough to either finish them off with the Holy Blast if not chip them out themselves. 
*Greater Balrog Cat: Used for the rush strategy. Balrog can slip into Z-Onel's blind spot and push her to the base, as well as clear out the peons with relative ease. Can tank two hits at level 30, and being highly disposable with his low recharge time/cost, you can just send another if he is destroyed.
===Strategy 1 (Cheese, no Uber)===
Battle: Start by waiting for Bullet Train to be ready, then wait about half a second and summon it, this way it barely misses the boss wave. If all is done well, Bullet Train will end up in Z-Onel's blind spot; if this doesn't happen, the attempt isn't lost and can still be saved, though there will be less money to work with. As soon as it is available, summon Green Shell. Wait for the first Zoge to revive, then summon Fishman while trying to time it. From now on, send out a Fishman whenever possible, alongside Bullet Train and Green Shell. After a bit, Z-Onel will be pushed behind the enemy base by the Sniper; when this happens, time A. Bahamut to miss Z-Onel's attack and sneak in an attack. The next step is to summon Power Cutter for support and spam those units. Although Bahamut may die before destroying the base in his attempt at killing the Star Peng or some Zuches, the stacked Fishmen will likely finish off the Star Pengs and keep hitting the base, to the point of destroying it and winning the stage. The Cat Cannon can be used as soon as a Green Shell dies to protect the Cat Army instead, so Slow Beam and Iron Wall work best, while Breakerblast will cause the bosses to start hitting the army and other Cannons won't make a big difference.

==Trivia==
*Last of the Dead's Japanese name, Saigo no Shisha (最後の死者, lit. "The Final Dead Person"), sounds identical to the Japanese title of Neon Genesis Evangelion Episode 24; the only difference is that unlike this stage's name, the episode title spells Shisha as シ者, allowing it to be interpreted as either "The Final Dead Person" or "The Final Messenger". This wordplay is also used in Cruel Angel Clionel's Japanese description.
*Last of the Dead and Revenge of the Dreamer are the only stages where the same Advent Boss spawns multiple times as a non-boss enemy.
