1 - New Friend With Blooming "Fire" Power Sky-Searing Pyro Regisvine	May 22, 2024
2 - Puckering Cold Puppy Wintry Primo Geovishap	May 24, 2024

Stage 1 - New Friend With Blooming Fire Power

Opponent	Sky-Searing Pyro Regisvine
Best Teams
Best Negotiation Strategy	Long-Term Strategy: Key Site Breakthrough The Sky-Searing Pyro Regisvine's Elemental Nucleus is easier to destroy.

Higher Opponent HP and Level if No Strategies are Used

If you want to get a Glorious Gold rating with 2 stars at the Fearless difficulty, you have to avoid using more than 1 Negotiation Strategy!

Against the Sky-Searing Pyro Regisvine, the less Negotiation Strategies you choose, the higher the opponent's HP and Level. This means that choosing more Negotiation Strategies will make the fight easier, but you will not get three stars.

Sky-Searing Pyro Regisvine Day 1

Stage 2 - Puckering Cold Puppy

Opponent	Wintry Primo Geovishap
Best Teams
Best Negotiation Strategy	Long-Term Strategy: Bait and Switch Shields of all Elemental Types can cause immense reflected DMG to the Wintry Primo Geovishap and reduce both its Physical and All Elemental RES. Additionally, greatly increases the duration of the RES decrease caused by reflected DMG and support fire from Effective Shots.

Lower HP and Lower All RES

If you want to get a Glorious Gold rating with 2 stars at the Fearless difficulty, you have to avoid using more than 1 Negotiation Strategy!

However, against the Wintry Primo Geovishap, using Bait and Switch can lower both its HP by virtue of using a Negotiation Strategy, and all RES because of the Strategy's effect, significantly speeding up the fight.

Wintry Primo Geovishap Day 2

Stage 3 - Forest-Ranging Beast, Holding Fast to the Bitter End

Opponent	Metastable Jadeplume Terrorshroom
Best Teams
Best Negotiation Strategy	Active Strategy: Binding Blast You can call upon Ranjit to fire Binding Shot during the challenge. Binding Shot will interrupt the Metastable Jadeplume Terrorshroom's attacks and restrain it on the floor for a while. While restrained, the Metastable Jadeplume Terrorshroom's Dendro Shield will be removed, and its Physical and All Elemental RES will be decreased slightly. Only the host can use Active Strategies in Co-Op Mode.

Restrained the enemy and reduced its Physical and All Elemental RES

If you want to get a Glorious Gold rating with 2 stars at the Fearless difficulty, you have to avoid using more than 1 Negotiation Strategy!

Using the Binding Blast strategy allows you to easily remove the enemy's shield and render it immobile. Also, when restrained on the floor, the enemy's resistance will be decreased, allowing you to deliver more damage.

Metastable Jadeplume Terrorshroom Day 3

Stage 4 - Fulgurating Flying Seahorse

Opponent	Metastable Jadeplume Terrorshroom
Best Teams
Best Negotiation Strategy	Long-Term Strategy: Suppressive Tactics After the Xenomare Pearl is destroyed, the Enraged Millennial Pearl Seahorse will require more time to generate a new one.

Take Down the Shield and Defeat it with Everything

If you want to get a Glorious Gold rating with 2 stars at the Fearless difficulty, you have to avoid using more than 1 Negotiation Strategy!

Suppressive Tactics will let you keep the enemy in its downtime phase for longer, giving you the chance to completely take it down, even from full HP.

Enraged Millennial Pearl Seahorse Day 4
