The first half of Frontier 4 consists of enemies that are weak to Lightning but are resistant to Ice, so formulate your parties accordingly.

We recommend using DPS units that use wide attacks, can pass through enemy shields, or can easily inflict Shock for the Lumberjack.

The second half of Frontier 4 features Hollow Thugs that are weak to both Fire and Physical. Avoid using Ether units unless they provide sufficient buffs to the party.

We recommend using at least two allies that can use Defensive Assists to deal with the parryable attacks of the Typhon Challenger.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 14

Shiyu Defense 14 First Half

Attack the Shieldguards from Behind

If possible, attack the Miasmic Shieldguards from behind to maximize the damage and daze dealt to them. You can also use AoE attacks to gather them and attack in one small space.

Stay Close to the Lumberjack

Stay within the area near the Lumberjack to prevent them from using their saw blades. Use Defensive Assists to interrupt the Lumberjack's attacks.

Perfect Assist Guide

Shiyu Defense 14 Second Half

Rely on Defensive Assists Against the Typhon Challenger

The Typhon Challenger will unleash multiple attacks that can be parried via Defensive Assist. Be vigilant towards the yellow cues and use Defensive Assists to easily fill up the Daze meter.
