Fire and Physical units are best used in the first half. Other attributes are also viable, but you should avoid using Ice DPS units due to enemy resistances.

Enemies here are weak to Electric, so it's best to use teams that focus on these attributes. Fire Agents shouldn't be used here unless they can provide useful support capabilities.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 13

Shiyu Defense 13 First Half

Group Enemies Together

Multiple waves in the first half consist of groups of enemies. Try to keep them together with proper positioning or use abilities like Astra's Basic Attack: Finale to pull targets to one spot and take them all out at once.

Use Dodge Counters

The Doppelganger enemies can defend and even dodge your attacks. Wait for the Doppelgangers to attack and use Dodge Counters to guarantee your attacks on them.

How to Do Perfect Dodges and Dodge Counters

Shiyu Defense 13 Second Half

Prioritize the Lightfoot Rover

In the final wave, prioritize on attacking the Lightfoot Rover since the Guardian MK II will always follow your character around.
