Radiance on Christmas Eve Stage 5 Best Teams
Best Team for the First Half
Rin Shinonome | Soshiro Hoshina | Akari Minase | Akari Minase |
This team's Attackers are the AoE attackers Rin and Soshiro, plus Burn-inflicting Akari (Festive Christmas). The Defender slot uses 4-star Akari to heal the team. The build maximizes stage effects: boosting Slash/Shot DMG from high HP and recovering SP via Akari’s Burn.
| Tips! | The lineup above is one example. You can also slot in other Attackers like Mina (Superb Combination) or Gen (Japan's Strongest Combatant), and other Burn appliers like Tae Nakanoshima. |
Best Team for the Second Half
Gen Narumi | Gen Narumi | Chester Lochburn | Sagan Shinomiya |
For the second half Attackers, Gen (Japan's Strongest Santa) brings Blast Attacks to break Slash and Elemental Plates, plus Gen(Future Sight). The tank role is covered by Fire-Attribute Sagan, who can inflict Burn to trigger the stage's SP recovery.
| Tips! | This is just one strong option. For other high damage Attackers, also consider Soshiro (United Front) or Hikari in the Attacker slot. |

Build a Strong Team
Team 1: Focus on AoE Attackers

In the first half of Stage 5, five miniature enemies appear at a time, so Attackers with AoE Attacks are highly suitable for Squad 1. Enemies with Blast and AoE Attacks also appear, so including one tank character will make your team more stable.
Team 2: Bring Blast Attackers
In the second half, only three enemies appear, but this includes midsized enemies. Therefore, characters with Blast Attacks are generally highly suitable for Squad 2. It's also a good idea to include one tank character in the second half for better stability.
SP Management Tips

The miniature "Phaneroplasmodium Yoju: Type 1225" in both halves steals SP, so watch out. You get SP back on Core Exposed or defeat, but manage it closely.
| Tips! | Stage effect lets you regain SP via Burn or Combat Skills on burning foes, so make sure to utilize characters who can inflict Burn. |
Burn-Inflicting Characters
Akari Minase | Sagan Shinomiya | Tae Nakanoshima |
Watch Out for AoE Attacks in the Second Half

In the second half of Stage 5, the midsized "Tolypeutes" uses a powerful AoE attack. Manage incoming damage by using your Defender's skills effectively, delaying its actions by exposing its Core, or aiming for a quick Neutralization to secure the clear.
