Disputed Node 3 Best Teams

Disputed Node 3 First Half

Mono-Fire Team
Soldier 11	Koleda	Lucy	Rocketboo
Physical Team
Nekomata	Piper	Lucy	Bangvolver
F2P Team
Ben	Soukaku	Corin	Booressure

Enemies in the first half are weak to Fire and Physical. So, you can go for either element or mix both of them. You can use any other team here except for Ice and Ether since the enemies are resistant to them.

If you are using a strict free-to-play team for the whole Node 3, you will need to use Soukaku here, an Ice character. This way, you can use a full Cunning Hares team in the second half.

Disputed Node 3 Second Half

Ellen DPS
Ellen	Lycaon	Rina	Butler
Zhu Yuan Ether Team
Zhu Yuan	Qingyi	Nicole	Resonaboo
F2P Team
Billy	Anby	Nicole	Bagboo

Ether and Ice characters are effective in this half since the Ether Mutants are weak to them. Unlike the first half, any characters can also be used if you do not have a dedicated Ether or Ice team since the enemies have no indicated resistance.

How to Beat Disputed Node 3

Use the Main DPS’s Ex Special Skill When Enemies Are Stunned

In general, to maximize the damage provided by Disputed Node 3's Frontier Effect, only use your Attack Agent's Ex Special Skill when enemies are already Stunned. They will gain a 35% DMG buff after casting their Ex Special Skill.

For your other units, feel free to use their Ex Special Attacks while trying to fill up the enemies' Daze Gauge!

Use Perfect Assists and Dodges

You can easily beat Disputed Node 3 if you can effortlessly execute Perfect Assists or Perfect Dodges against the enemies. There's no need to rush Node 3 since you can get an S Grade as long as you have zero Agent defeats!
