Shiyu Defense 14 First Half

Fire Anomaly Team
Caesar	Burnice	Soldier 11	Rocketboo
Alternate Fire Team
Koleda	Ben	Soldier 11	Rocketboo
F2P Team
Lucy	Billy	Corin	Bagboo

Fire is by far the best element to use against the elite enemies of the enemies in this stage, so a stage with Soldier 11 as the DPS would do great. However, other teams other than Electric can also work!

Mono Electric Team
Qingyi	Rina	Anton	Plugboo
Electric Anomaly Team
Rina	Grace	Anton	Plugboo
F2P Team
Anby	Nicole	Anton	Bagboo

Shock is the most effective Attribute against the elite enemies in this half. However, you can use any team other than Electric and Fire to defeat the enemies.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 14

Shiyu Defense 14 First Half

Follow the Ruthless Fiend's Movements

The Ruthless Fiend is a large enemy so, it telegraphs its movements. Keep an eye on it and hit the gold attack cues to trigger Perfect Assists. This way, you won't need to take as much damage.

Keep an Eye on the Frenzied Maniac

It's best to inflict Attribute DMG on both the Wicked Wraith and the Frenzied Maniac. However, the Frenzied Maniac has more erratic attacks so keep an eye on them while focusing DMG on the Wicked Wraith.

Shiyu Defense 14 Second Half

Target the Heavy Striker MK II First

In the second half, the Guardian MK II and Heavy Striker MK II spawn at the same time. It's best to target the Heavy Striker first, so you can focus on the Guardian MK II.

However, keep an eye on the large movements of the Guardian MK II while defeating the Heavy Striker to avoid incoming attacks.
