All enemies in both the Alliance and Frontline stages are weak to Electric, so you're going to want to build a team around that Attribute. You should also prioritize using a character that can deal Aftershock DMG to take advantage of the Tactical Buff.

How to Beat Day 1 Aftershock Frontline

Mind Your Positioning

The stage will start off with a group of Private Jaegers spawning in. Try to position yourself and use abilities that draw enemies in to have them converge on one spot.

Doing this will help you eliminate multiple enemies at once.

Use Aftershock Damage

The Elites that spawn in the following waves are pretty straightforward and fairly easy to deal with. Remember to utilize Aftershock DMG to get the Tactical Buff and dispose of these enemies quickly.

How to Beat Day 1 Aftershock Alliance

Group Enemies Together

A group of Jaegers will spawn in at the beginning of this stage. Try to gather them together so that you can take out more than one at a time.

One quick way to do this is by using Astra's charged Basic Attack.
