Enemies in the First Half are mostly weak to Ice and Fire damage, so bring characters of these elements.
Enemies in the Second Half are all weak to Imaginary and Physical types.

For both halves, it's important to defeat the Furbo Journalist as soon as possible to get more Punchlines for Aha's Instant.

In Wave 1, you'll face multiple Mr. Domescreens. They will reduce your team's Energy if you don't switch their channels, so attack them once to flip their channels and instead get some Energy regen for one of your characters.

In Wave 2, make sure to take down the Automaton Beetles first since they can summon a barrier after attacking.

In Wave 3 of the second half, take down the Illumination Dragonfish to have them deal damage and apply Vulnerability to other enemies.

Makes no sense that everything is elation based when there's only one out, they should have waited until sparxie was out at least
