Frontier Shrine (Merciless)/Metal

Frontier Shrine (Merciless) is one of the many Enigma Stages.
==Battleground==
*2 Sir Metal Seals spawn after 6.67 seconds200f, delay 40 seconds1,200f.
*2 Sir Metal Seals spawn after 83.33 seconds2,500f, delay 33.33 seconds1,000f.
==Strategy==
Simple enough: bring lots of Critters and many meatshields instead of Modern Cat. Tesalan Pasalan can take out each Sir Metal Seal with one Crit, but this requires great luck and may take a few tries. If you have Paladin Cat or Verbena the Bride, this stage becomes much easier, as you only need to send out Paladin and meatshields. On the one hand, the lack of peons means very little money; on the other, it guarantees that your Critters and crowd-controllers will always focus on a Sir Metal Seal and not get distracted by something weaker.
===Strategy 1===
Lineup: Noodle Cats, Sushi Cat, Sashimi Cat, Cat's Gift, Modern Cat (not needed if your Noodle Cats are at a high enough level; you can replace Modern with Manic Eraser Cat), Eraser Cat (if you bring Modern, then use Manic Eraser instead), Hoopmaster Cat.
The rest of the lineup should be filled with Critters; use the most reliable ones you have in terms of damage and Critical chance (the obvious candidates are Hurricat, Waitress Cat and Catasaurus). Puppetmaster & Charley will be your most reliable crowd-controller - send them first, then Hoop and everything else.
Battle: The hardest part of the stage is the beginning, as a Sir Metal Seal comes out very early on. What you want to do is just spam Hoopmasters and meatshield (with Noodle Cats) and pray for Hoopmaster to freeze them even just once, so that you can start stacking Critters and other Hoopmasters. The goal is to stack enough Hoopmasters to permafreeze the Seals. Once you stacked enough everything, you are pretty much guaranteed to win, even if the Metal Seals stack.
