==Strategy==
On this stage, Critters are important to kill the pesky Metal Doges and the Sir Metal Seals. Bring any long ranger or alien/floating killer for the Maawths, someone like Aphrodite would work great. The Aku enemies are not a large problem, just use your generalist attackers to deal with them quickly.
===Strategy 1 (Ft. Aku Researcher)===
Stall for cash at the beginning, then use said money to spam all available cats. The Maawth that spawns when the base is hit is relatively weak, it should only be a minor annoyance. Simply spam your cats, and the level will be beaten eventually. There isn't much to say, the enemies here are all relatively weak.
===Strategy 2 (Ft. Corrupted Moneko)===
At the beginning spawn MML to deal with the smaller peons. After it dies, continue to stall Maawth with Manic Eraser until you Worker is up to Max or at least close to it. Then start spawning all you meatshields along with your LD Units and metal crowd-controllers. Once you hit the base, summon Hurricat to deal with the metal doges and spawn as many metal crowd-controllers as possible. The idea is to freeze the metal seals, let the LD units kill the Maawths, and then kill the seals with your critters. During the point when you don't have many anti-metals stacked up you can use Iron Wall/Slow Beam to try to keep your crowd controllers alive for a bit longer. After the Maawths are dead just kill the seals and you're good to go.
