Best Teams for Stage 5
Best Team for the First Half
Isao Shinomiya | Gen Narumi | Rin Shinonome | Chester Lochburn |
This team features Isao Shinomiya (Prime Fist) and Rin Shinonome as AoE attackers, alongside Narumi, who can reduce two types of Plates with his Blast Attack. Chester further boosts the team’s overall damage output with his buffs. Pairing characters who can easily inflict Core Exposed, such as Isao Shinomiya and Narumi, makes it easier to fill the Ultimate Gauge quickly.
Best Team for the Second Half
Soshiro Hoshina | Soshiro Hoshina | Kikoru Shinomiya | Reno Ichikawa |
For the second half, Kikoru (The Inherited Will), Hoshina (United Front), and Reno are strong picks for reducing multiple types of enemy Resistance. If your team struggles with survivability, consider adding the Defender Sagan, who can also lower two types of Plates for better stability.

Take Advantage of Stage Effects

| Stage Effects | - Each time the unit attacks a Kaiju with a Blunt attack, applies ATK +10% to all allies. Max 10 stack(s). - Each time the unit attacks a Kaiju, Ultimate Gauge +10. - After activating Ultimate, applies Blunt DMG +25% to the unit and their battle buddy. Max 20 stack(s). |
In the Large Conquest event, Stage Effects are active. The effects for "Fists of Tempered Steel" are as listed above. Characters with Blunt Attribute attacks and those who can hit multiple enemies are especially effective, so make sure to include them in your team.
Build a Strong Team
Team 1: Focus on AoE Attackers

In the first half of Stage 5, 5 miniature Kaiju appear at once, so fill Team 1 with AoE Attackers to clear them quickly. Enemies with AoE attacks may also appear, so consider adding a tank to help your team survive longer.
Team 2: Bring Blast Attackers
In the second half, 3 enemies will appear, including midsized ones. It's best to include Blast Attackers in Team 2 for stronger single-target damage. A Defender is not mandatory, but if your team struggles with durability, adding one can make runs more stable.
