Tiny Horns (Deadly)

Tiny Horns (Deadly) is a stage available on the 14th of every month. Completing it unlocks Li'l Cow Cat's True Form. This stage is the fifth of many Li'l Stages, stages that offer No Continues and only allow Special/Rare Cats to be used.

==Strategy==
Like with Head Shaker and Lots O' Lion, the best counter to this stage are spammable high DPS units. The restriction might limit the amount of spammable high DPS units you can use, but because you can still use units like Courier Cat, Cameraman Cat or Cyborg Cat, it's not that problematic. Like with Lots O' Lion, the key is to preserve Awakened Bahamut Cat as much as possible (since he will be your main damage source on this stage). If the player has already beaten Floor 30 and gotten Hermit Cat, he can become a surprisingly valuable member by doing Wave Attacks that can deal great damage to the Li'l Lion Cats (if all three hits connect) as well as chipping down incoming Li'l Lion Cats with them. If the player has already completed The Aku Realms, Lord of Ruin Jagando Jr. completely obliterates the stage with his powerful Surge attacks with Strong and Knockback against Traitless making enemies completely unable to push forward. His recharge time is also short enough to stack two or even three before they even hit the base and realease the horde of Li'l Lions, just make sure to protect them with proper meatshielding.
===Strategy 1===
Start with one Gato Amigo to clear the 2 Squire Rels. then spawn Zamboney Cat. After that spawn the first 5 Cats to block them. Spawn Cyborg Cat when possible. Never spawn Awakened Bahamut during this phase.
When the large group of Li'l Lions appears, if the player's Cats are high-level, they will lose some ground but the Li'l Lions will die one by one. Spawn Awakened Bahamut and Ururun Cat, if possible. It will take a few minutes to advance to the enemy base and destroy it.
===Strategy 2===
Start by spawning just Ramen Cats whenever you can. When the first Li'l Lion appears, start spawning Jiangshi Cats and Cameraman Cats too whenever you can. The 2 Research UP Combos make her and Ramen Cat more spammable. By the time the first Li'l Lion dies, the next one should appear. Try to stall for as long as possible and build up your Cameraman stack.
You might run low on cash, if so, stop spawning Cameraman Cats and only spawn them when you have around 1000¢. Eventually, your units will reach the base. Your Cameraman Cat stack has to be massive at that time, otherwise you will most certainly lose. When the tidal wave of Li'l Lions is released, turn on the Cat CPU. Don't worry about it spawning Combo Cats, for they can tank hits and protect your stack. If you run low on cash, deactivate the Cat CPU and spawn Cameraman, Ramen and Jiangshi. Remember to reactivate it when you have a decent amount of cash (~6,000¢). Of course, your stack will die down at a point, but when that time has come, the Li'l Lion spawn will be close to only one Lion at a time. Then, deactivate the Cat CPU and spawn Ramen, Cyborg, Jiangshi and Cameraman. If you've done it correctly, the enemy base will be destroyed soon.
A quick add-on: it MAY be helpful to manually spam Ramen, Jiangshi and Cameraman when you get the "Can't deploy anymore!" message. Also, this strategy works just fine if some cats are a little underleveled, but you'll need another cat's help if you do that.
===Strategy 3===
This stage is simply just a stage, where the same loadout can get you through most stages:
Send just one Ramen to deal with the Squire Rels, once the first Lion spawns, let it come about 2/3 to your base, and start spamming your second row, except Bahamut. Keep spamming until the first Lion dies. This stack should be able to take out a few Lions without ever coming close to the enemy base. When your stack dies, there should be 1-3 lions stacked. Once again, let them cross 2/3 of the field, and start spamming again, this time with Bahamut. Use your Cat Cannon wisely to protect Bahamut from any attacks, as the longer he survives, the better. Your stack should overpower the handful of Lions and make their way to the base. Once the boss wave hits, keep spamming until your Bahamut dies. At this point one of two things will happen, either your Cameraman stack will simply overpower the onslaught of Lions, or they will slowly fizzle out. This should only change how far upfield your stack can stay. Keep spamming, sending Bahamut back out when he recharges. You should be able to win without any problem.
===Strategy 4 (Ft. Haniwa Cat)===
Spawn a few Haniwas and Li'l Erasers before the first lion arrives. Once it does, start spawning the previous meatshields you were spawning and 1 or 2 of the 75 cent meatshields while stacking Cameraman and Cyborg. Make sure not to overflow the cat limit, as 10 more lions will come with a delay between each of them. You should stack up attackers slowly however only spawn very few meatshields. You should try to get a large stack of attackers to easily DPS the lions. After lions stop spawning let your stack slowly inch towards the base while spawning meatshields. Then, when the horde of lions spawn, let a bit of your initial stack die and once a lot of it has died start spamming more meatshields and attackers. When the lions start getting too close to your base, or about a 3rd of the way there, spawn A. Bahamut and launch the cannon a few seconds after. You can turn on CPU at this point if you are using. After this your win is almost guaranteed. It is possible that your base health might be hanging on a thread which is why you should have it at at least level 4.
