How to Beat Stage 3 - Rumor Mill

Defeat the Lordly Trashcan Fast

Try to defeat the Lordly Trashcan as soon as possible when you encounter it in Wave 2 for both halves.

This is to prevent your party from taking lethal damage as Lordly Trashcan's attack strengthens each time it takes its turn.

Prioritize the Everwinter Shadewalkers

For Waves 1 and 3 of the First Half, defeat the Everwinter Shadewalkers first.

Avoid letting the Everwinter Shadewalkers in the First Half attack you as these enemies will delay your character, forcing them down the action order.

Take the Performance Points From the Security Personnel

In the second half, have your DPS defeat or inflict Weakness Break on the Security Personnel with Performance Points. This will allow the DPS to take the DMG buff for themselves.
