Always have Shields up!

The higher your Momentum Blessing Level, the more damage you deal! Shielded characters will get an ATK boost, and even deal random Electro or Cryo DMG at Momentum Blessing Level 3.

Bring Geo or Claymore characters

There will be Geo Slimes, Geo Samachurl Constructs, and Geo Mitachurl Shields during this stage. Having Geo Characters or Claymore Characters on your team will let you destroy their defenses easily.
