Galbrena is the primary recommendation for this stage, due to her highly-damaging Isomer Bolt that rips through enemy waves and a new weapon she can synergize with, the Explosive Omen, which leaves AoE traps around the map, exploding mobs and elites alike.
Recommended Character Upgrades
| Character | Stat Upgrade Priority |
|---|---|
|
Galbrena
|
1. All Weapons +ATK/DMG/Crit 2. Max STA and Recovery 3. Movement Speed 4. Pickup Range |
Galbrena's priorities for Character Upgrades will include Weapons DMG/ATK/Crit and Max Stamina and Recovery as she will have to run through the arena to collect coins due to her fast killing speed in later levels.
Movement Speed and Pickup Range can be also chosen but prioritize the first two stats above as they give Galbrena the most bang-for-buck increase with her abilities in this stage.
Drill Stage 5 Best Weapons
Recommended Weapons
| Weapon | Stat Upgrade Priority |
|---|---|
 Isomer Bolt Isomer Bolt Base Form:
・Reach Level 1. ・Fire multiple Isomer Bolts in quick succession. Advanced Form: ・Reach Level 3. ・The range and rate of fire of Isomer Bolts are increased. Superior Form: ・Reach Level 7. ・Enjoy overwhelming firepower. The range and rate of fire of Isomer Bolts are further increased. Ultimate I: ・Reach Level 15. ・Obtain and upgrade Weapon: Glittering Ray to Lv. 15. ・Isomer Bolt absorbs Glittering Ray and now periodically launches beams that pierce enemies. Ultimate II: ・Reach Level 15. ・Obtain and upgrade Weapon: Explosive Omen to Lv. 15. ・Isomer Bolt absorbs Explosive Omen and now periodically explodes in target areas, dealing additional AoE DMG. |
1. DMG% (Attack & Crit) 2. DEF Penetration 3. Attack Speed |
 Explosive Omen Explosive Omen Base Form:
・Reach Level 1. ・Unleash Explosive Omens in all directions. Advanced Form: ・Reach Level 3. ・The number of Explosive Omens is greatly increased. Superior Form: ・Reach Level 7. ・Become a trap master. The range and DMG Multiplier of Explosive Omens are further increased. |
1. DMG% (Attack & Crit) 2. DEF Penetration 3. Attack Speed |
 Sanguine Wheel Sanguine Wheel Base Form:
・Reach Level 1. ・Summon a Sanguine Wheel to continuously attack surrounding enemies. Advanced Form: ・Reach Level 3. ・Summon an additional Sanguine Wheel to attack surrounding enemies. Superior Form: ・Reach Level 7. ・Unleash the primal forces. Summon a total of three Sanguine Wheels to attack surrounding enemies. |
1. DMG% (Attack & Crit) 2. DEF Penetration 3. Attack Speed |
Prioritize leveling Isomer Bolt and Explosive Omen with DMG Multipliers, Crit DMG and DEF Penetration to immediately increase the weapon's firepower and damage, especially against Elites. This setup will reward you throughout the stage, as you simply have to watch enemy waves melt one after another.
Pair this with Sanguine Wheel in later waves with the same stat priority to assist you in dealing with straggling enemies that come too close for comfort.
Best Weapon Combinations and Resonators

Recommended Items
| Item | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Glacio Boost Glacio Boost Effect: Glacio DMG is increased by 50%.
|
Glacio Boost provides an additional 50% DMG Boost to Glacio Abilities, making Isomer Bolt even more powerful. |
| 2 |
 Fusion Boost Fusion Boost Effect: Fusion DMG is increased by 50%.
|

| 4 |
 Capital Buffer Capital Buffer Effect: Permanently gain 60 Shield points.
|
Allows you to be more risky when converging with enemies and collecting coins, as you have an extra 60 Shield to buffer any damage. |
| 5 |
 Crit Boost Crit Boost Effect: Instantly gain a Crit. upgrade card, with the chance of getting Crit. upgrade cards increased by 10%.

The main items we can recommend for this stage are relevant Elemental Boosts which upgrade the weapons chosen for the round to deal even more damage. You can then either choose Capital Buffer or Crit Boost for a free 60 Shield, allowing you to risk coin collection when enemies are swarming for the former or a free crit card for your weapons on the latter.
Otherwise, we advise prioritizing your Character and Weapons upgrade to get the most out of your Resonator in this stage as they provide better stat upgrades than items.

Take Out All Chest Mimics You Can at Wave 8
Similar to Stage 3 and Stage 4, you will be introduced to Chest Mimics at Wave 8, moving at the edges of the map. Prioritize them and hunt all mimics you can find to immediately boost your weapons!
After the round, you will be able to see how many upgrades you acquired based on the number of mimics you took down.
Acquire Synergistic Evo with Explosive Omen to Take Out Elites Faster
Level up both Isomer Bolt and Explosive Omen to 15 to get the Synergistic Evolution effect and combine the two, making them even more powerful afterwards. This is crucial especially in later waves, allowing you to take out the Elite Pilgrim's Shell in less than 10 seconds.
Pick DMG and Attack Stats After Each Wave
Despite the multiple upgrades available to you, you will only need the DMG and Attack-related options to your weapons and characters, as they provide the most cost-effective measures at taking down enemy waves.
Other upgrades will be second priority after weapon and character damage as Galbrena's weapons overpower all mobs in this level with minimal impunity.
Use Galbrena's Skill When Converging With Enemies
Galbrena's Ashen Oath is an instant Area-of-Effect attack that doesn't stay in the field for long, and should be used in crucial moments, especially when converging multiple enemies into one position or moving through mobs.
Using the skill during these moments allows you to take out the most enemies with it while also giving you some room to move after engaging.
Sprint Into Coins Especially in Later Waves
Due to how fast mobs die at later stages, you will have to reserve your stamina to run through coins found around the map, make sure to upgrade your Stamina and Collection Range or pick up the Coin Magnet whenever it appears.
Interrupt Dashes by Running on the Opposite Direction
One way to avoid constant dashing is to stop your current inputted direction and press again on the opposing direction you are at, this saves you stamina that you can use for later sprints especially against fast enemies.
