Shiyu Defense 17 Best Teams

Shiyu Defense 17 First Half

Jane Disorder Team
Seth	Burnice	Jane	Bangvolver
Sons of Calydon Disorder Team
Caesar	Burnice	Piper	Bangvolver
Fire Anomaly Team
Burnice	Lucy	Soldier 11	Rocketboo
F2P Team
Lucy	Billy	Corin	Bagboo

The Rampant Brute is weak to Fire and Physical but has a resistance for Ice so avoid using those types of teams.

Inflicting massive Attribute Anomaly DMG is the best way to go about defeating this enemy. So a team with Jane, Piper or Burnice as the main Anomaly drivers would work.

Shiyu Defense 17 Second Half

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

The best Attributes against the boss in the second half are Ether and Electric.

This is due to the Beholder Engine being harder to beat with characters of different attributes. You must incapacitate it with an Anomaly Attribute Effect so it's easier to beat.

How to Beat Shiyu Defense 17

Shiyu Defense 17 First Half

Defeat the Thug Mobs Fast

Target the Arsonist as much as possible due to their ranged attacks so it does not get in the way of defeating the Ambusher as fast as possible.

Dodge and Inflict Attribute Anomaly

Always keep an eye on Rampant Brute's attack cues and make sure to either use Dodge or a Perfect Assist to inflict as much Attribute DMG as possible.

If dodging a lot is not possible, make sure you don't get hit by their Electric Attacks.

Shiyu Defense 17 Second Half

Shock the Beholder Engines

The Beholder Engines in this stage inflict a good chunk of DMG in their long-range homing attacks. From the start, gather these enemies into a single area and inflict either Corruption or Shock so they are unable to cause as much damage.

Watch Out for Large AoE Attacks

For Hans, watch out for its large AoE attack where the floor will light up indicating its attack. Since the area of effect is pretty large, make sure you're not inside that area when it happens.

The best way to defeat Hans is to inflict as many Attribute Anomaly on it, specifically Shock while doing attacks in a hit-and-run manner to avoid its large attacks.
