How to Beat Shiyu Defense 12

Shiyu Defense 12 First Half

Group Enemies and Stun

In waves one and three, it's best to group and stun all the enemies together. Then, defeat them all in one go!

Counter All the Attack Cues

The Farbauti and the Armored Hati have one thing in common: incredibly telegraphed attack cues in the form of golden or red flashing lights. It's best to execute a Perfect Assist or a Dodge Counter to avoid taking DMG and attacking them instead.

Once they're incapacitated by an attribute effect or through stunning them, unleash all your saved-up Ultimates to deal the most DMG on them!

Shiyu Defense 12 Second Half

Always Target Scout Jaegers

Scout Jaegers will attack from far away and chip at your HP, so it's best to group them with Private Jaegers and then beat them in one go.

Shock Autonomous Support Units

The best way to deal with the Lightfoot Rover and the Heavy Striker is to inflict shock on them. The effect will damage them intermittently, adding to the damage you inflict from the agent's skills!
