For this stage, you can go ahead and use the Golden Tokens that are great for both Cartethyia's Negative Status effect team and the general Falling Star that Tears Fate Apart for Augusta's team. They will help a lot in terms of clearing waves and accumulating points, and this is the perfect time to use them as there are now 2 stages left before Infinite Torrents.

In addition, avoid using Fusion Teams because all enemies in the stage has an increased 20% RES to Fusion DMG. Do not use Galbrena, Brant, and Changli teams to maximize the damage you are dishing out.

Also, since Stage 11 is the last stage of Respawning Waves, you can go ahead and use the final Golden Tokens for Cartethyia's team and Augusta's team - similar to what you used in Stage 10. They will help a lot in terms of clearing waves and accumulating points.

Finally, avoid using Spectro Teams because all enemies in the stage has an increased 20% RES to Spectro DMG. Do not use Zani, Phoebe, or Jinhsi's teams to maximize the damage you are dealing.
