It's best to use characters that can induce Melt or Vaporize during the challenge. You don't need to bring Cryo characters to this stage. The Cryo enemies will set up any Melt reactions for you!
How to Beat Searing Skies
Go Through the First Waves Fast
The first few waves have lightweight enemies you can gather and easily defeat. It's best to induce a Pyro Swirl with these enemies to continuously trigger melt to get the Afterimaged Might buff fast!
Focus on Powerful Enemies
The powerful opponents are marked with a glowing light above their heads. Defeat as many of those as possible to get a higher score!
Break Enemy Shields
There are shielded enemies in both the Vicious Battle and Dire Straits, with the only difference being that the latter stage has a higher HP and thus is harder to beat. Break all Cryo Shields fast with Pyro to deal real damage on the enemies and defeat them fast!
