Permanent Stage 26 First Half Tips
First Half Strategy
- Use Slash, Blunt, and Physical Characters
- Aim to Neutralize All 3 Enemies at Once
- Beware of the Middle Enemy’s Recovery
Use Slash, Blunt, and Physical Characters
The enemies in the first half of the stage have Slash, Blunt, and Physical Plates. Since multiple miniature and mid-sized enemies appear, form a team with characters who can reduce their Plates using multi-target attacks.
Aim to Neutralize All 3 Enemies at Once
The miniature and mid-sized enemies in the first half can summon Yoju, so new enemies may appear even after you neutralize them. Lower all three enemies’ HP evenly, as shown in the image, and aim for simultaneous neutralization.
Watch the Enemy’s Action Order
If an enemy’s turn comes right after another is neutralized, it may summon more Yoju. To prevent this, use Core Exposed to stop their actions and pay close attention to the Action Order so you can neutralize all three before they move.
Beware of the Middle Enemy’s Recovery
The mid-sized enemy in the middle, "Kamponotus Honju," uses its Ultimate to devour a small enemy and restore its HP. Stop its actions with Core Exposed to prevent it from recovering.
Permanent Stage 26 Second Half Tips
Second Half Strategy
- Use Slash, Shot, and Physical Characters
- Break Plates Efficiently with Blast Attacks
- Watch Out for Burn and AoE Attacks
Use Slash, Shot, and Physical Characters
In the second half of Stage 26, the enemies’ Resistances are Slash, Shot, and Physical. Two small and one medium-sized enemy will appear, so form a team with characters who can reduce multiple Plates at once.
Break Plates Efficiently with Blast Attacks
Three enemies appear in this phase, and the mid-sized enemy in the center, "Nesodactyl", has high Plates: Slash ×3, Shot ×4, and Physical ×2. Use characters who can lower multiple Plates or rely on Blast Attacks to break them and aim for Core Exposed efficiently.
Watch Out for Burn and AoE Attacks
The central enemy’s Ultimate inflicts Burn (DoT) and a wide AoE attack. Stop its actions with Core Exposed, and if you’re struggling to survive, include a Defender in your formation.
Permanent Stage 26 Strategy Tips
Break Plates Efficiently
The enemies in Fierce Battle Area 26 have Slash, Blunt, and Physical Plates in the first half, and Slash, Shot, and Physical Plates in the second half. Efficiently break each Plate to trigger Core Exposed, which delays enemy actions and increases the damage they take, then use your Ultimates.
Level Characters to 100
If your characters are lower level than the enemy, you'll take increased damage, making it harder to achieve the star condition "Win with 0 incapacitated units." The enemies in Fierce Battle 26 are level 100, so you should challenge them with characters at Lv. 100.
