In Kaiju No. 8 The Game, your Reinforcement cap is tied to your Spec-Ops Rank. If you still can't win after maxing out the upgrades, level up your Player Rank or take on the Promotion Exam to raise your Spec-Ops Rank.
Spec-Ops Rank GuideChange Squad Setup
It's important to build a squad that matches the Kaiju's traits. Recheck your formation to ensure you're using the most suitable characters.
Squad Setup GuideCheck Kaiju Details
You can view a Kaiju's actions and traits on the Quest Info screen or during battle. For Kaiju that use buffs, include characters like Haruichi who can remove them. Keep this in mind when adjusting your team composition.
Squad Setup Guide and Tips
- Match Party Attributes to Enemy Resistance
- Add Supporters and Defenders
- Pay Attention to Partners
- Identify the Kaiju Type
Match Attributes to Enemy Plates
The enemies in Kaiju No. 8 have Plates that can be broken by attacking with characters of the corresponding element. Once all Plates are broken, the Kaiju becomes Core Exposed, giving you a tactical advantage. Prioritize forming a party with characters that exploit the enemy's Plates.
Element Effects and Plate MechanicsInclude Supporters and Defenders
Besides Attackers who deal damage, Supporters provide buffs and debuffs, while Defenders protect allies with shields and recovery skills. If you're struggling to win, consider including Supporters or Defenders in your squad.
Pay Attention to Battle Buddies
In Kaiju No. 8 The Game, the 1st and 2nd slots, as well as the 3rd and 4th slots, are considered battle buddies. When a Kaiju becomes Core Exposed, battle buddies can perform Follow-Up attacks, and some skills have additional effects on partners. Keep this in mind when forming your party.
Battle Buddies GuideIdentify the Kaiju Type
Kaiju come in four types: small, medium, giant, and humanoid. Some characters have skills that are only effective against specific types, such as small or giant Kaiju, so make sure to identify the Kaiju type before battle.
Battle Tips and Precautions
- Manage Your SP
- Monitor Enemy Ultimate
- Don't Rely Too Much on Auto
Manage Your SP
Using Combat Skills consumes SP, which can be recovered through Normal Attacks. If you use skills carelessly, you might run out of SP when you need to use a Recovery skill. Manage your SP carefully and monitor the action order.
Monitor Enemy Ultimate
Below the Kaiju's HP gauge is the Ultimate Gauge. When it fills, the Kaiju will unleash a powerful attack. Make the Kaiju enter a Core Exposed state to lower its action order and reduce its Ultimate Gauge.
Don't Rely Too Much on Auto
Kaiju No. 8 features an auto-battle mode, but it doesn't always make the best decisions. It may use an Ultimate before applying buffs or mismanage SP. If you keep losing on auto, try switching to manual play.
