How to Beat Shiyu Defense 11

Group Enemies Together

This strategy applies to both halves of the battle. In the first and third waves, enemies will appear in groups, so it is important to gather them together before attacking.

Position your agent by walking past the melee enemies and going towards the ranged attackers, and then unleash an EX Special Attack on the clustered targets to eliminate them easily.

How to Do EX Special Attacks

Use Defensive Assists on Elite Enemies

In the final wave of both stages, you'll encounter Elite enemies, so watch for gold or red attack signals once they appear. Utilize performing Defensive Assists to sustain your offensive momentum, and do counterattacks to effectively damage these enemies.
