Ether Team

The enemies in the First Half are weak to Ice and Ether, so an Ice or Ether team with Ellen or Zhu Yuan respectively should make quick work of the enemies.

However, you can still use other teams since the enemies have no resistances.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 12

Shiyu Defense 12 First Half

Group Enemies Together

Defeat Wave 1 and 3 Quickly

This tactic works on both halves. Use skills that group enemies together or prioritize targeting the ranged enemies in Waves 1 and 3 to defeat them quickly with AoE damage.

Watch Farbauti's Movement

Watch Farbauti

As a large enemy, Farbauti's attacks are slow and highly telegraphed. Watch out for its chain of punch attacks and time your Perfect Assists against its attacks!

Shiyu Defense 12 Second Half

Keep a Close Eye on Attack Cues

Keep a Close Eye on Attack Cues

The best way to beat the doppelgangers in the second half is to keep an eye on their attack cues.

Use Perfect Assists whenever gold flashes appear, and Dodge Counters for red ones.
