How to Beat Shiyu Defense 13

Shiyu Defense 13 First Half

Target Ranged Enemies First

When you prioritize ranged targets in a group, the melee enemies will be forced to come to you. This makes it easier to group enemies for a simultaneous takeout.

Counter Doppelganger Enemies

The best way to defeat the Doppelganger enemies is to overwhelm them with attacks, then counter any attack cues with Perfect Assists or Defensive Counters.

Shiyu Defense 13 Second Half

Group Enemies Together

The first waves will consist of groups of Ethereals. 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.

Focus on the Goblin First

In the final wave, focus on the Goblin, then try to do AoE attacks so Thanatos gets splash damage. Once the Goblin is defeated, give all your focus on the Thanatos, dodge as often as possible to avoid getting caught in its attacks.
