BOSS
MANIC FLYING CAT
Forest Beasts is the 2nd stage of The Crazed Bird. Previous stage: Flappy Cat. Next stage: Apocalypse.
STRATEGY
Manic Flying Cat's extreme range, high damage and single knockback make it hard to push, and money is scarce — bulky units, not backliners.
- Jamiera-type bulk rather than Ururun Wolf; Sniper the Cat and Rich Cat help; Psychocat or Seafarer (Freeze Effect Up) counter Nimoy Bore, iCat stops the Bore.
- Cyberpunk stacks slow the fast pushers, and Sniper the Deadeye alongside them can pin most enemies at the base.
- Butterfly/Fishman and Can Can chip Manic Flying (and the Mooth); Sadako/Octopus tanks and can weaken it; Metal Cat tanks once the boss is alone.
- Spend Awakened Bahamut on the Rain D.s, not the boss — he lands two hits at most on Manic Flying, and the Bores cycle him fast; minimal meatshields is viable given the money.

CATS TO BRING 
SADAKO CAT A Sadako Cat - Resistant to Floating as well as having a chance to weaken them to 50%, Sadako is perfect for stalling the boss when there are no peons on the field. However, they die very quickly to the Rain Ds present in the stage, so you are going to need to protect them well. Unless you have Octopus's Talents, use Sad 
COURIER CAT A Courier Cat - A simple solution to the Bores in the stage, a level 40 Courier also has enough damage output to juggle the Rain Ds when timed properly. However, they die instantly to the Manic Flying, so be careful when using them. 
ICAT A iCat - A no-brainer if you want to stall the Bore without losing too much ground: iCat is very powerful at crowd controlling Bore without it pushing too much. However their range is extremely low, so don't rely on them surviving for too long. 
SEAFARER CAT A Seafarer Cat - An answer to the Nimoy Bore present in the stage, but with his raw HP and guaranteed survive ability, he can land a hit or two on the boss before dying. 
SABER A Saber - Her rapid Long Distance attacks combined with her massive damage against Floating enemies speeds this stage up a lot. 
LESSER DEMON CAT A Lesser Demon Cat - Basically the same as Heracrist, but its True Form is recommended for the highest success rate. Does great damage at close range, which combined with the low cost and fast recharge allows it to be easily replaced whenever it's destroyed. 
LUFALAN PASALAN S Lufalan Pasalan - With its True Form, Lufalan Pasalan outranges even the boss (720 vs 640) and as there are only powerful individual enemies here with high health, it can work well. Its 20% critical chance can also drastically speed up the fight by dealing a whopping 200K damage per hit, while also heavily damaging the 
JAMIERA CAT A The Manic Flying Cat can be hard to push back due to its extreme range, high damage and having only 1 knockback, so you'll have to use tankers or bulky units like Jamiera Cat, rather than backliners like Ururun Wolf. 
URURUN WOLF B The Manic Flying Cat can be hard to push back due to its extreme range, high damage and having only 1 knockback, so you'll have to use tankers or bulky units like Jamiera Cat, rather than backliners like Ururun Wolf. 
PSYCHOCAT B Psychocat and Seafarer Cat, especially with freeze effect up talent, can be an effective counter to Nimoy Bore. 
CYBERPUNK CAT A Stacking Cyberpunk Cat is amazing in this level since the fast pushers will be slowed. 
SNIPER THE DEADEYE A Similarly, Sniper the Deadeye, if you have him, is a great team with Cyberpunk Cat and can pin most of the enemies to the base. 
SABER THE CAT C Saber Alter Cat: Strong against Floating enemies (Deals 1.5x damage, only takes 1/2 damage) 
ARCHER CAT A Deals Massive Damage to Floating enemies. 
BODHISATTVA CAT A Slows and (True) Weakens Floating enemies. 
CATMAN S Massive Damage vs Floating (Normal). 
HIGH LORD BABEL S Equally tough against Floating enemies, with Colossus Slayer. 
BAHAMUT CAT S Huge multi-hit burst — a story-unlock powerhouse that deletes tanky enemies. TECOLUGA S A 7,300-AP long-range hit obliterates tanky targets when the Critical connects. Also fits “Out-range Manic Flying Cat.” 
GAIA THE CREATOR S Long-Distance multi-hit with Insane Damage — a generalist wall-cracker. 
CRAZED MONEKO A Big crit burst against tanky/Metal targets. 
CHILD OF DESTINY PHONO S Big Multi-Hit Massive-Damage bursts from safety.
