How to Get 2000 Points in Day 5

Freeze Enemies in Place!

To quickly deal as much damage without getting interrupted by the Ruin Enemies is to freeze them all in place. Freezing them will also allow you to take a moment to yourself and think about your next moves!

Use AoE Attacks to Dish DMG Quickly

AoE attacks can deal heavy damage not just on the Nemesis enemies but also on the normal ones! So, use Secret Arts that can generate more energy for your characters.

Switch Teams As Fast As Possible

Cycle through your teams as fast as you can to gain more Fervor! Since Ruin Enemies are tougher than other enemies, so you need to dish out damage within 25 seconds or less then, switch to another team, before you lose that Fervor.
