The enemies of Advanced Drill 1 are weak to both Fire and Physical, but are resistant to Electric. It will also pit you against one of the game's most challenging bosses: the Rampant Brute.

Therefore, you must inflict any Attribute Anomaly other than Shock to cause Disorder and incapacitate him for a short period. Jane and, if you happen to have her, Nekomata in a Mono-Physical team for Assault or a Mono-Fire Team for Burning will do the trick!

Advanced Drill 1 Guide

Inflict Any Attribute Anomaly Besides Shock

In Advanced Drill 1, the main thing you need to anticipate is the fight against the Rampant Brute, who can one-shot your characters if you're not careful. Take note that after charging his weapon, he will be “Shocked” by default.

To best the Rampant Brute, inflict any other Anomaly besides Shock on him to cause Disorder. This will incapacitate him for a brief period, allowing you to dish out as much DMG as you can!

Attribute Anomaly Guide

Use Dodge Counters Often

The Rampant Brute is as slow as he is strong. It is pretty easy to predict his attack patterns, and you must take advantage of this by initiating Dodge Counters frequently, which both Jane and Nekomata excel in.

Dodge Counter Guide

Advanced Drill 2 Guide

Inflict Shock Often

In Advanced Drill 2, you will be up against enemies and machines that are weak to Electric and are prone to being Shocked.

Always make it to a point that you infict this Attribute Anomaly regularly, which should be easy enough with Grace in the team.

Prioritize Ranged Enemies

Scout Jaegers will be a regular enemy in this stage, and you can use them to your advantage. Always prioritize them to lure as many melee units as you can into one spot for easy culling!

Advanced Drill 3 Guide

Stun Enemies as Much as Possible

Since the enemies in Advanced Drill 3 have no resistances, you can go all out on DMG to clear the stage in record time. One of the best ways to do this is by stunning enemies and relying on Chain Attacks.

Use Stun units like Lycaon, Qingyi, and Koleda to initiate Chain Attacks as often as possible!

Chain Attack Guide

Watch Out for Attack Cues

The enemies in Advanced Drill 3 have attack patterns that are fairly easy to predict. Always keep your eyes peeled for attack cues and dodge accordingly. Then, follow up with your own attacks!

Eliminate the Arlaune First

When the Farbauti appears, it's best that you take care of the Arlaune first before focusing on the Farbauti itself. Allowing yourself to be sidetracked by the Arlaune's attacks may lead to carelessness and ultimately, doom.
