The enemies on the second half of Critical Node 6 are weak to Fire and Physical but the boss is resistant to Ice so it's best to avoid using a team with that Attribute.

Fire teams built around Soldier 11 and Physical teams with Jane, Piper, or Nekomata as the DPS are the best for this stage. However, you can use any team so long as it's not an Ice team!

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 16

Shiyu Defense 16 First Half

Get the Enemies' Attack Cues

The Notorious Armored Hati's shield is especially tough, so the best strategy against it is to do a Perfect Assist or dodge when it happens. Once it's sufficiently dazed, you can unleash all your accummulated Ultimates on it!

Shiyu Defense 16 Second Half

Dodge As Much As Possible

Beat the mob enemies as fast as possible so the Rampant Brute can spawn faster. Once it's there, the fastest way to beat it is by dodging all of it's golden or red attack cues then immediately dishing out damage on it.
