First Half Stage 12 Strategy Tips
First Half Tips
- Use Blunt, Shot, and Ice Characters
- Use Characters with Multi-Target Attacks
- Watch Out for the Midsized Enemy’s Ultimate
Use Blunt, Shot, and Ice Characters
The enemies in the first half of the stage have Blunt, Shot, and Ice Plates. Reno is ideal here, as he can break two of the enemy’s Plate types. If you have him, make sure to include him in your team.
Use Characters with Multi-Target Attacks
In the first half of Stage 12, two miniature enemies and one midsized enemy will appear. To gain an advantage, use characters with Blast Attacks or other multi-target abilities and try to inflict Core Exposed on all enemies at once.
Watch Out for the Midsized Enemy’s Ultimate
The medium-sized enemy that appears in the center, "Nesodactyl", is dangerous because its Ultimate is an AoE Attack that also inflicts Burn. It also has many Plates, so aim to efficiently cause Core Exposed and take measures such as delaying its actions.
Second Half Stage 12 Strategy Tips
Second Half Tips
- Use Slash, Shot, and Physical Characters
- Watch Out for the Boss’s Ultimate
- Break the Shield to Increase Damage Taken
Use Slash, Shot, and Physical Characters
The enemies in the second half of Stage 12 have Slash, Shot, and Physical Plates. The boss, "Dimensional Identified Kaiju No. 2", has many Plates: Slash x4 and Shot x5, so include characters who can easily break these Plates, such as Gen Narumi (Future Sight).
Watch Out for the Boss’s Ultimate
The boss boosts its own damage, and its Ultimate is a powerful AoE Attack that can deal around 1,000 damage, so stay alert. To handle this, delay the boss’s actions using Core Exposed and aim for a quick Neutralization. If survivability is an issue, add Akari Minase to your team as a healer to recover HP before the Ultimate.
Break the Shield to Increase Damage Taken
When you break the Shield the boss applies, it becomes more vulnerable and enters a DMG Taken Increase state. Use high damage attacks like Ultimates right after breaking the Shield for maximum effect.
Star Objectives Can Be Completed Separately
You don't need to meet "win with 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 Effects | - 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, stage effects are active. This time, the stage effects have strong synergy with Mina (Superb Combination) and Gen Narumi (Future Sight), so it’s recommended to include Mina (Superb) and Gen (Future) in your Squad to clear the stage more easily.
| Tip! | Characters with Shot Element skills also receive a DMG dealt increase from the stage effects. |
Recommended Characters
| Mina Ashiro | Gen Narumi |
Break Plates Efficiently
In the "Strike of Coordination" Fierce Battle Area 12, enemy Plates are Blunt, Shot, and Ice in the first half, and Slash, Shot, and Physical in the second half. Efficiently destroy Plates to inflict Core Exposed and gain an advantage in battle.
Level Characters to 90 or Higher
If your level is lower than the enemy’s, you’ll take increased damage, making it harder to meet the star condition of “Win with 0 incapacitated units.” In Stage 12, enemies are level 85 with high HP, so it’s recommended to challenge them with Lv. 90+ characters to maximize your damage output.
