BOSS
PASTRY CAT
Way of the Samurai (Insane) is the 2nd stage of Samurai Awakens!. Previous stage: Way of the Samurai.
STRATEGY
The Bores that spawn alongside Pastry Cat are the real fight; Pastry Cat himself has only 235 range and is outranged by any midranger.
- iCat crowd-controls the Bores with ease; Enchantress + Thaumaturge or Fried Shrimp for defense; Courier with Island variants also works.
- Spam Cyborg and Cameraman for Pastry Cat with Ururun controlling him; the Bores and Le'boins give more than enough money, and the boss spawns at 70% base.
