How to Mix Enemies in Core Propulsion

Like with the elements and collected materials, you can have two or more enemies as sources of Core Activation! You always need to defeat either a slime or a specter first and put the bosses last.

The bosses will fill the core up immediately, so it's best to put them last. You also need to be careful not to defeat too many specters or slimes in the process, the meter doesn't fill up too fast!
