Shiyu Defense 12 Best Teams

Shiyu Defense 12 First Half

Ice Team
Caesar	Soukaku	Ellen	Sharkboo
Disorder Team
Caesar	Burnice	Jane	Red Moccus
Physical Team
Caesar	Nicole	Nekomata	Bangvolver
F2P Team
Soukaku	Billy	Corin	Sumoboo

The best attributes for the first half are Ice and Physical. Teams with Ellen, Jane or Nekomata are the best fit for this stage. However, since there is no resistance in the enemies, you can use your strongest team of another attribute here!

Shiyu Defense 12 Second Half

Mono Electric Team
Qingyi	Rina	Anton	Plugboo
Electric Anomaly Team
Qingyi	Grace	Anton	Plugboo
F2P Team
Anby	Lucy	Anton	Bagboo

Fire is the only resistance at this stage so, using any Team except that would work. However, Electric is by far the most suitable one since Shock causes DMG Intermittently.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 12

Shiyu Defense 12 First Half

Group Enemies and Watch Out for Big Attacks

Normal enemies will follow you when you run around them for a short while, you can use this to group them while also dodging ranged attacks. Once they are close together you can use any AoE Attacks to defeat them easier.

For the Bulky Enemies, both of them have slower attack speed so take advantage of this to dodge and dish out more attacks!

Shiyu Defense 12 Second Half

Target the Scout Jaegers

Target the Scout Jaegers first since they can hit you from afar while defeating Harrier Jaegers and would chip at your HP bit by bit if you're not careful.

Inflict Anomaly Attribute on Elite Enemies

Inflict Shock or another Anomaly Attribute other than Burn against the Assault Gunner and the Heavy Striker enemies. This way, they are feeling intermittent DMG while you're attacking them with your agents!
