In the first half of Frontier 6, the enemy is weak to Ice and Ether attacks, making teams with an Ice DPS is your most effective option since Ice is not recommended in the second half.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 16

Shiyu Defense 16 First Half

Use Defensive Assists on Tepes

In the first half, you will only face the Tepes, so focus on performing assists while remaining attentive for their special attacks.

During the battle, Tepes will unleash a spike attack that inflicts damage reduction on your agents once they are hit. You can counter this attack by executing Defensive Assists and blocking Tepes' hand attacks, which will impair its spiked hammer.

How to Do Perfect and Quick Assists

Shiyu Defense 16 Second Half

Watch Out for Rampant Brute

In the second half, both the Rampant Brute and the Troublemaker - Wanted Enforcer will appear together. It’s important to keep an eye on the Rampant Brute, as it charges up an attack that can deal significant damage to your agents.

You must interrupt his charging attack to prevent it, and once the Rampant Brute is down, you can unleash your all-out attack.
