During the first half of Frontier 12, the best attributes are Electric and Ether. If you wish to defeat the enemies faster, you can make a team consisting of strong Electric units for the mechanical enemies.
You can also opt for an Ether team, as this attribute is not recommended to use during the second half.

This strategy applies to the first and third waves in both halves of the stage. Focus on targeting the ranged enemies to draw them in close, allowing the melee enemies to approach as well. Once they are gathered together, unleash a skill to eliminate them all in one powerful attack.
In the second and fourth waves, the Tarasque Mixer will appear. Your agents must perform a dodge whenever it uses its laser attacks.
When facing Elite enemies, you must utilize Agents' Assists since their attacks are predictable. You can break the Heavy Striker's shield by inflicting Burn or Assault. Meanwhile, the Guardian has visible attack cues that are easy to parry or dodge.
