First Half Stage 13 Strategy Tips
First Half Tips
- Use Slash, Shot, and Fire Characters
- Focus on the Boss
- Defeat Waterdrops with Fire Attacks
Use Slash, Shot, and Fire Characters
In the first half of Stage 13, the boss has Slash, Shot, and Fire Attributes. Since the Plates are limited in type but numerous, build a team with matching characters to expose the Core efficiently.
Focus on the Boss
You’ll clear the stage by defeating the central boss, "Cryptobranch," so focus your attacks on it. Try to finish within fewer rounds to meet the objectives.
Defeat Waterdrops with Fire Attacks
The Waterdrops summoned by the boss on both sides can be defeated with Fire attacks. Sagan is a great choice thanks to her Fire Attribute, counter ability, and AoE Ultimate.
Second Half Stage 13 Strategy Tips
Second Half Tips
- Use Slash, Shot, and Ice Characters
- Break the Boss's Ice Plates
- Beware of the Boss's Damage Buff
Use Slash, Shot, and Ice Characters
The boss in the second half, "Philinosoma Honju," has Slash, Shot, and Ice Plates, so form your team accordingly.
Break the Boss's Ice Plates
The boss’s Plates include Ice. Use Reno, who’s best for breaking them, or Gen (Future Sight), who can randomly destroy Plates, to expose the Core efficiently.
Beware of the Boss's Damage Buff
The boss boosts its own damage with an ATK buff, so be cautious of incoming attacks. Check your team’s durability before the boss acts or uses its Ultimate. If survival becomes difficult, consider adding Akari Minase as a healer.
Star Objectives Can Be Completed Separately
You don't need to meet "0 incapacitated allies" and "within the specified rounds" simultaneously. You can clear safely first with a defensive formation, then aim to reduce rounds with a damage-focused formation.
Strike of Coordination Strategy Tips
Take Advantage of Stage Effects
| Stage Effect | - After activating Extra Attack or causing a Kaiju to be Core Exposed, applies Shot DMG Dealt +150% (2 turn(s)) to the unit. - After attacking, applies CRIT DMG +5% to the unit. Max 10 stack(s). - Ultimate Gauge Charge Rate +20%. |
In "Strike of Coordination," a Stage Effect is active. This effect works well with Mina (Superb Combination) and Gen Narumi (Future Sight), so include them in your squad to take full advantage of it.
| Tip! | Characters with Shot Attribute skills also gain increased damage thanks to this effect. |
Recommended Characters
| Mina Ashiro | Gen Narumi |
Efficiently Break Plates
In the "Strike of Coordination" Fierce Battle Area 13, enemies have Slash, Shot, and Fire Plates in the first half, and Slash, Shot, and Ice in the second. Focus on breaking these Plates efficiently to expose the Core and gain an advantage.
Get Character to Level 100
If your characters' levels are lower than the enemy’s, you’ll take increased damage, making it harder to clear the “Win with 0 incapacitated units” objective. In Stage 13, enemies are Lv. 92 with high HP, so it’s best to challenge them with Lv. 100 characters for higher damage output.
