How to Beat Direcliff Court Domain

Different Enemies Each Try

In the Direcliff Court Domain, each time you enter it, you'll be against a different set of enemies! You will need to create teams based entirely on what enemies you have. Other players also have their own unique opponents.

Select the Right Stratagem

Stratagems are buffs that can aid your team during the challenges. You get to choose about three times for the three combat rounds. These are also randomized like the enemies, so you'll need to tailor what Stratagem you have to your party!

Gather Enemies and Freeze Them

Although each player will have a unique set of enemies, there are still mob enemies you can either gather or freeze! Gathering light-weight enemies then unleashing an AoE Elemental Burst is an effective way to beat them in one go!

Bring a Healer With You

While inside the domain, whatever gadget you have equipped cannot be used, and you can't access your inventory bag for food heals or food buffs. It's best to bring a healer with you to consistently keep your team alive.
