BOSS
MANIC MOHAWK CAT
Deathhawk is the 2nd stage of The Crazed Cat. Previous stage: Dark Souls. Next stage: Century's End.
STRATEGY
Manic Mohawk's push comes down to whether your walls survive a hit: a Crazed Tank at level 24 (or with Defense Up combos) and an Eraser at 20+10 change the stage.
- Eraser at 20+23 survives two unweakened hits; Haniwa Cat resists Traitless in an all-Traitless stage.
- Cyberpunk Cat's range and Slow crawl Manic Mohawk and his support to a halt.
- Alternative: pin Manic Mohawk at the base with Sniper the Deadeye and Vendor Cat while Long Distance units chip the base down before he dies — usually faster.
- Attacks-Only units (Warlock & Pierre, Takeda Shingen, Orbital Annihilator Ragnarok) can cheese it with enough stacking.

CATS TO BRING
HANIWA CAT B Haniwa Cat - Haniwa Cat is a great meatshield for this stage, as it resists Traitless enemies in a Traitless-only stage.
CYBERPUNK CAT A Cyberpunk Cat - With extremely high range and slowing capabilites, he will very easily stall Manic Mohawk and the support to a crawl. The blindspot allows him to easily be stacked at the start.
THAUMATURGE CAT A Thaumaturge Cat - Guaranteed weaken from a safe range prevents Manic Mohawk from pushing further and dealing heavy damage to your frontline. Pre-TF may work, though with less effectiveness.
DRILLER CAT A Driller Cat - Similar to Thaumaturge, but with a MUCH stronger weaken effect (Weakens enemies to 10% of their attack rather than 50%!) and can also be stacked like Cyberpunk thanks to the blindspot. Do note that the uptime isn't 100%, unlike Thaumaturge.
SNIPER THE RECRUIT A Sniper the Recruit - Can push back Manic Mohawk by knocking him back, and can synergize well with Cyberpunk by pushing him back into the range of Cyberpunk. His True Form is also very useful, also slowing down Manic Mohawk and granting range for extra insurance. Do note he may push your units into the range of Master A
PROF. CAT JOBS A Prof. Cat Jobs - With his guaranteed weaken to 1% with high uptime, Cat Jobs can reduce Manic Mohawk's damage to a laughable 139. Its damage being effectively none lessens the pressure put on your meatshields, and allows units who would otherwise get juggled to death a chance to strike. However, he suffers from Single
VENDOR CAT AND KITTEN A Vendor Cat and Kitten - Similar to Sniper the Recruit, however he also has a brief freeze effect that can stop Manic Mohawk for a second. The stage where you get this unit is also relatively easy, so most players would likely have him by now.
PICCOLAN PASALAN S Piccolan Pasalan - Having its true form will make stalling Manic Mohawk as well as all the peons in this stage far easier. However, its abysmal attack frequency holds them back from being particularly potent compared to other crowd-control options.
SUPERSTAR KONEKO B Superstar Koneko - You can utilize her Wave, Surge, and Explosion to pierce up to Master A and Teacher Bear, dealing high damage via Crit/Savage Blow. She also has a Slow against Traitless, letting her stall the main threats of the stage somewhat consistently with her AoE attacks. Make sure to protect her well, since h
CRAZED TANK CAT S A very useful interaction for this stage is a Crazed Tank Cat at level 24 or with unit defense up combos, which allows it to have enough health to survive a hit from Manic Mohawk Cat without support.
ERASER CAT S Naturally, your Eraser Cat should also be at least level 20+10 to survive a weakened Manic Mohawk hit; 20+23 can survive two without weakening.
ORBITAL ANNIHILATOR RAGNAROK S Warlock & Pierre or other Attacks Only Units like Takeda Shingen and Orbital Annihilator Ragnarok could be used to cheese the level as well with enough stacking.
