Raid Boss Strategy & Best Characters
Kaiju A: Divided Entity
| Name | Dimensional Identified Kaiju A: Divided Entity |
|---|---|
| Plates | Shot Plate x6 Physical Plate x3 Elemental Plate x2 |
| Features | - Has an AoE Attack - Attack patterns change based on Form Change stacks; inflicting Core Exposed removes all Form Change stacks - While in Charging Stance, negates one attack and is immune to Plate destruction |
Prioritize Characters with Shot Attribute & Extra Attacks
In Raid Battle, there is a support effect for Shot Attribute, Follow-Up, and Extra Attacks. This provides a significant damage bonus, so prioritize using characters who meet these criteria.
Increase CRIT Rate
In Raid Battle, you also receive a support effect for landing a Critical Hit. Use Uniparts and weapons to increase your CRIT Rate.
Defenders are Not Needed
Raid Battles have a set number of turns and are not long engagements. As long as your characters can survive, it is best to avoid using Defenders and challenge the battle with an offense-focused team.
Beware of Attack and Plate Nullification
Kaiju A: Divided Entity uses its "Charging Stance" skill to nullify one attack and become immune to Plate Breaks. As shown in the image, when the Plate icon is crossed out, use a Normal Attack or a similar ability to remove the Attack Nullification state first.

Recommended Team
| Mina Ashiro | Gen Narumi | Reno Ichikawa | Chester Lochburn |
This team is built to maximize damage, centering around 5-Star Mina (Superb Combination), who is highly compatible with the support effects. Chester supports the three Attackers by providing buffs such as CRIT Rate UP.
Team Comp Without Reno
| Gen Narumi | Soshiro Hoshina | Mina Ashiro | Chester Lochburn |
The boss has Elemental Plates, but if you do not have Reno, building a team around Gen Narumi (Future Sight) is a strong option, as he can reduce Elemental Plates with Seen Through. It is also effective to include 4-star Elemental characters such as Iharu Furuhashi and Tae Nakanoshima to further lower the Plates.

What is a Raid Battle?
An All-Player Co-op Event
| Event Period | Until Boss is defeated |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Player Rank 4 or higher |
Raid Battles are a cooperative mode where all players work together to take on a Kaiju. Rather than traditional multiplayer cooperation, each player independently damages a Kaiju with extremely high HP in real time.
Limited Action Turns/Rounds
Raid Battle Kaiju have massive HP, making it impossible to defeat them in a single fight. With a limited number of rounds, your focus should be on maximizing the damage dealt within that timeframe.
You Can Receive Support Effects
In Raid Battles, you can select a Support effect after each battle. This effect applies to all players, and you can also benefit from the Support effects chosen by others during the fight.
Complete Missions to Collect Points
Raid Battles feature missions where you earn rewards by collecting points. Since there are also daily missions, make sure to participate every day.
3 Stamina-Free Attempts per Day
During an active Raid Battle, you receive 3 permits daily. Each permit allows one challenge, so be sure to use all three each day. After your permits are used, you can continue participating by spending Stamina.
Exclusive Raid Battle Achievements
There are achievements that can only be obtained in Raid Battles. The conditions for acquiring these exclusive achievements are shown below, and you will receive Dimensional Crystals upon completion.
| Tip! | Exclusive Raid Battle achievements can be found in the “Special Ops” section on the Achievements screen. |
