Shiyu Defense 14 Best Teams

Shiyu Defense 14 First Half

Disorder Team
Rina Rina Yanagi Yanagi Miyabi Miyabi Agent Gulliver Agent Gulliver
Mono Ice Team
Lighter Lighter Soukaku Soukaku Ellen Ellen Sharkboo Sharkboo
Ether Team
Qingyi Qingyi Nicole Nicole Zhu Yuan Zhu Yuan Resonaboo Resonaboo
F2P Team
Ben Ben Nicole Nicole Corin Corin Bagboo Bagboo

In this stage, the enemies are weak to Ice and Ether, so it's best to curate your team around a DPS of those attribute types.

Since the enemies don't have any resistance, you can use any team, but it's still best to use characters enemies are weak against for that extra damage!

Electric Attribute is the name of the game on the second half of the Critical Node 14. However, you can use any team except for a Fire team due to the enemies' resistance. Inflicting shock also stalls the enemies' attacks.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 14

Shiyu Defense 14 First Half

Focus on the Thanatos

On the final wave of enemies, it's best to focus on the Thanatos since their attack patterns are harder to predict, and it's easier to dodge an Armored Hati's attacks.

Shiyu Defense 14 Second Half

Inflict AoE Shock

The Guardian MK II and the Heavy Striker MK II will spawn in the last wave. The best way to beat them is to inflict an Electric AoE attack to stagger them so you can minimize the DMG you get and dish out more attacks!
