Shiyu Defense 17 Best Teams

Shiyu Defense 17 First Half

Disorder Team
Burnice	Lucy	Miyabi	Rocketboo
Ice Team
Lighter	Soukaku	Ellen	Sharkboo
Ether Team
Anby	Nicole	Zhu Yuan	Resonaboo
F2P Team
Nicole	Corin	Ben	Knightboo

The first half of Frontier 7 will feature Ethereals weak to both Ice and Ether with no resistances. Feel free to adjust your parties according to the Agents you've already recruited.

A team led by either Miyabi or Ellen will work wonders for this half, as they can exploit the enemies' weakness to Ice and eliminate the first wave in record time to keep things running. Alternatively, you can opt for an Ether Team.

Shiyu Defense 17 Second Half

Disorder Team
Yanagi	Seth	Jane	Plugboo
Mono-Electric Team
Qingyi	Rina	Harumasa	Plugboo
F2P Team
Soukaku	Billy	Anby	Sumoboo

In the second half, you're going to be up against Shielded Defender Omega and a mob of Harrier and Demolition Jaegers that are all weak to Electric. However, Shielded Defender Omega is resistant to Fire, so avoid using Agents of this Attribute.

A Disorder Team consisting of Yanagi and Jane will lead to insane amounts of Disorder DMG and frequent application of Shock for interrupting attacks. Going for a Chain Attack Team with Qingyi and Harumasa is also viable.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 17

Shiyu Defense 17 First Half

Prioritize Ranged Enemies First

This applies to the first wave of both halves. Prioritize the ranged enemies to lure and group the melee and ranged enemies together in your position.

Afterward, use attacks that hit in an AoE to eliminate them simultaneously and quickly!

Keep an Eye on Thracian's Movements

Thracian has powerful moves that do not have attack cues that you cannot defend with Perfect Assists.

Fortunately, these moves have a slow start-up animation involving its spear, so keep an eye out for its movements to dodge at the right time!

Shiyu Defense 17 Second Half

Flank Shielded Defender Omega

The Shielded Defender Omega's frontal attacks pack a punch but are avoidable by moving to its sides.

Flank the Shielded Defender Omega when it is using its flamethrower and missile barrage attacks to gain more attack windows for your agents!

Inflict Shock to Remove Shield

The Shielded Defender Omega will periodically put up a shield to resist damage from your agents. Dispel it by inflicting Stun or Shock.
