How to Beat Shiyu Defense 15

Shiyu Defense 15 First Half

Attack the Poachers First

For Wave 1, approach the Poachers first so that the Raiders can go near you. This is because Raiders are melee fighters, so they will follow you around to attack you.

Defeat the Bulky Intimidator First

The same kind of strategy applies in Wave 3. Attack the Bulky Intimidator first since the Bulky Enforcer is a melee fighter.

The Bulky Enforcer will follow you around so attacking the Bulky Intimidator will make attacking both enemies much easier.

Shiyu Defense 15 Second Half

Attack the Scout Jaegers First

The strategy in the Second Half of Wave 1 is similar to the one in the First Half. Focus on attacking the Scout Jaegers since the Patrol Jaegers will just approach you.

Use a Defensive Assist to Cancel Spinning Attack

When the Enraged Sweeper is about to spin, instead of dodging the attack, use a Defensive Assist to cancel it. Do note this only works if the next character is a melee unit.

Take Out the Assault Gunner First

In the final wave of the Second Half, take out the Assault Gunner first to make the fight less tedious.
