Don't worry about Balethunder!
You'll go through an area with Balethunder, but you won't take damage as long as you have your Electrogranum. Just focus on gliding and collecting Electro Particles for challenge time!
What is Balethunder?
Use Characters with Gliding Talents
Thunder Spheres in this Challenge will be further apart than Challenge 1. You'll have to glide to each Thunder Sphere, so we recommend bringing a character that can reduce your gliding stamina consumption!

There are a lot of enemies in this challenge, so use the Thunder Sphere to boost yourself up for a Plunge Attack. Now you can damage enemies in an AoE!
Ignore Hilichurls on Towers
The top of the towers are difficult to get to, so we recommend ignoring them throughout the challenge. It's better to go all-out on the enemies on the ground!

There's a sudden turn at the end of the course that can throw you off-track! Once you swing into the turn, adjust your camera angle to the mountain and stay focused on the final destination!
