During the first half of Frontier 12, the recommended attributes are Fire and Physical. The elite enemies are resistant to Ether, so try to avoid using that attribute and save it for the next half.

This strategy is applicable for both the first and third waves of each stage. Focus on targeting the ranged enemies to lure them in, which will also draw the melee enemies closer. Once they are in range, you can unleash a skill attack.
At the start of the first wave, focus on defeating the Mandrake at the center. It provides buffs to nearby enemies, so taking it out quickly will make you clear the wave faster.
Utilizing Defensive Assists against Elite enemies helps you avoid damage and launch counterattacks, making battles easier as you can also observe their attack cues and wait for the perfect moment to strike back.

Second node... is wrong. There is Ether resistance.
