Best Teams for Path Clearer III

Best F2P Team and Bangboo

Best F2P Team			Bangboo
Anby	Nicole	Corin	Sumoboo

The team of Anby, Nicole, Corin, and Sumoboo is a great choice for this commission. Make sure to level your agents to at least level 48 to match the enemy's level.

Since the enemies in the Obsidian series of commissions are tough, prioritize stunning the enemies with Anby to safely deal damage with Nicole and Corin afterwards.

Premium Team and Bangboo

Best Premium Team			Bangboo
Nicole	Zhu Yuan	Qingyi	Resonaboo

The team of Nicole, Zhu Yuan, Qingyi, and Resonaboo is perfect for this commission. Qingyi and Nicole greatly increase Zhu Yuan's damage by increasing the stun damage multiplier, and by reducing the enemy's defense.

Defeat All the Enemies

First Wave

Second Wave

To complete the commission, you need to beat two waves of enemies. Two Elite enemies will spawn in Wave 1, and one Elite and one Boss enemy in Wave 2.

You can take your time with evading the enemies' attacks since the only S-rank requirement is to finish the stage with no defeated agents in your party.

List of All Enemies

Prioritize Thanatos in Both Waves

We recommend stunning and defeating Thanatos in both enemy waves first, to prevent it from attacking you with dash and mid-air slash attacks.

Use Perfect Assists Versus Notorious - Armored Hati

Notorious - Armored Hati can be a tough enemy to fight, as it is agile even on its armored state. Turn the tide against Notorious - Armored Hati by using Perfect Assists.

Your Perfect Assists for this commission are enhanced by the Resonia you received at the beginning of the stage.
