Getting Prepared For World 5

Level Up Your Characters

You will encounter enemies up to Level 60 in World 5. You can beat it with your characters at Level 50 but if you find it difficult, raise your Trailblaze Level to 40 and your characters and Light Cone Levels to 60 to make it easier.

How To Increase Trailblaze Level Fast

Don't Forget To Upgrade Relics

Relics are also very important to upgrade your characters. Before challenging World 5, we recommend obtaining 4 Star Relics. You can run World 3 and 4 or defeat elite enemies to collect rewards such as Planar Ornaments.

Best Relics For Each Character

Important: Ability Tree

The Ability Tree is very important for the Simulated Universe. You can obtain Ability Points even if you don't complete the challenge. We recommend farming Ability Points and unlocking abilities beforehand.

Recommended Blessings For World 5

Abundance: Remove Debuffs

Obtain 6 Blessings of The Abundance to activate "Resonance Formation: Anicca", which can remove all characters' debuffs. Removing debuffs will be important in the boss battle so we recommend obtaining Blessings of The Abundance.

Preservation: Increase Both DMG & Durability

If you want to include March 7th Gepard in your team, Preservation is also recommended. If you can upgrade "Divine Construct: Macrosegregation" you will get a very strong shield. "Resonance Formation: Zero-Dimensional" will let you deal massive damage, making a balanced team with both high durability and damage.

Recommended Blessings for "Preservation"

• Resonance Formation: Zero-Dimensional
• Divine Construct: Macrosegregation (3 Star)
• Interstellar Construct: Sanctuary (2 Star)
• Construct: Firmness (1 Star)

Recommended Characters

Recommended Types/Skills

DPS should be Physical, Wind or Imaginary

The boss Stellaron Hunter: Kafka has Frozen and Lightning RES and her weaknesses are Physical, Wind and Imaginary. A lot of the other enemies also are weak against Physical and Wind, so we recommend including those 3 types.

Be ready to remove "Dominated" Debuff

The boss Kafka inflicts the "Dominated" debuff, forcing your characters to attack their allies. Removing this debuff is very important so you should include a character that can do so.

Debuff Removers
Bronya	Natasha	March 7th

Double Debuff Remover Team

Physical Trailblazer	Welt	March 7th	Natasha
DPS	DPS Toughness DMG	Shield Debuff Remover	Healer Debuff Remover

Team focused on removing the "Dominated" debuff. Since there are 2 characters that can remove debuffs, you can still remove the debuff when one of them gets "Dominated". This will make the 2nd phase easier when Kafka inflicts the debuff to multiple characters. The Preservation Blessings will go well with this team.

Character Replacements

Sampo	Dan Heng	Bronya	Gepard
Toughness DMG	Decrease SPD Single Target DPS	Support Debuff Remover	Shield

Characters can be replaced as long as they can attack with the enemy weakness type. DPS characters such as Seele can also be included if they are upgraded.

World 5 Boss Battle

1	Keep attacking and trigger Weakness Breaks
2	Defeat weaker enemies when the battle starts
3	Remove "Dominated" debuff quickly
4	Save your Skill Points

1. Keep Attacking And Trigger Weakness Breaks

Kafka can deal a lot of damage and inflicts the "Dominated" debuff on your team. You want to prevent this by triggering a Weakness Break so attack with her weakness type and end the battle quickly.

2. Defeat Weaker Enemies When The Battle Starts

Kafka starts the battle with 2 Cloud Knights Patrollers by her side. The Cloud Knights Patrollers won't respawn once you defeat them, so defeat them once the battle starts.

3. Remove "Dominated" Debuff Quickly

▲ "Dominated" characters will attack their allies

Kafka will inflict the "Dominated" debuff in each phase. "Dominated" characters won't be able to take action and will be forced to attack their allies, so you will need to remove the debuff quickly.

You can also remove the "Psychological Suggestion" debuff

Starting from the 2nd phase, Kafka will inflict the "Psychological Suggestion" debuff on multiple characters. This will turn into the "Dominated" state when "Revelation" is activated but it can be removed even before that happens so try to remove it before it activates.

4. Save your Skill Points

Kafka will keep using the "Dominated" and "Psychological Suggestion" debuffs. These debuffs are powerful so you need to remove them quickly. Also, you won't be able to regenerate Skill Points on your "Dominated" character's turn, so try to keep at least 2 Skill Points from the 2nd phase.
