Battle Cats - Revival of Origin

The whole time I was playing this, I thought it was undeniably the new hardest level. I was having doubts that I would ever beat it. I recorded 39 failed attempts and went through dozens of lineups, before realizing that I was making it way harder on myself. Ive been playing the game in strictly 2x speed for months ever since I bought a gold pass. I turned that off and played on normal speed, and beat it on the 40th attempt. After playing it in fast mode for so long, normal speed feels incredibly slow, and timing seems easier than ever before. Since it only took one attempt that way, its kinda hard for me to say if this is actually the hardest stage, but its certainly up there.
The strat is to knockback the monkey at every opportunity and hope for lucky strings of balrog hits. By that, I mean both on Luza and those evil Bore Jr.'s. if the bore isnt killed immediately when in range, then it will almost always push to the base. I tried several strategies with a wave blocker to protect sniper cat from the waves but they were rarely effective and seemed to just waste a slot. I did this immediately after beating the other new stages and didnt have any resources for true form doron or naala, and also only had superfeline at +71, but those wouldve helped.
