The first half of Node 3 will focus on humaniods weak to both Ice and Physical. None of these enemies have any Attribute resistances, so feel free to adjust your party accordingly.

Lycaon should be your main choice in terms stunning enemies, with either Ellen or Corin dealing the DMG. Ellen in a Mono-Ice Team can deal massive amounts of DMG while having Corin can hit two weaknesses simultaneously.

Billy	Anby	Ben	Sumoboo

Node 3's second half will feature more machines weak to Electric with resistances to Fire. Qingyi or Anby will be your main choices for Stun, while Grace and Rina can provide Shock and DMG Support.

One can never go wrong with putting Nicole and Zhu Yuan in the same team, especially with either of the two aforementioned Stun Agents. Grace's Shock prowess can help interrupt actions for an easier battle.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 13

Shiyu Defense 13 First Half

Group Enemies and Use Dodge Counters

The Assaulters and Pyromaniac are easy enough to deal with so long as you group them properly. They don't spawn that far from each other, but the Pyromaniac do tend to spread themselves out, so prioritize them.

As for the Bulky Intimidator and Enforcer, their attacks are powerful but easy enough to dodge, enabling you to use Dodge Counters more often, so be sure to do so every chance you get!

Shiyu Defense 13 Second Half

Shock or Stun the Machines

For a much safer and easier time, it would be wise to Shock or Stun both the Lightfoot Rover and the Heavy Striker as much as you can. These can be easily done with so long as you have the appropriate Electric units for them.
