Tachikawa First Half Stage 40 Tips
Tips for the First Half
- Use Blunt, Shot, and Ice Characters
- Prioritize Targeting the Boss
- Trigger Core Exposed on the Minions
Use Blunt, Shot, and Ice Characters
The enemies in the First Half of Fierce Battle Area 40 possess Blunt, Shot, and Ice Plates. Since the minions summoned by the boss also possess Blunt Plates, bringing a character with multi-hit Blunt attacks, such as Kikoru (The Inherited Will), makes it much easier to trigger Core Exposed.
Element Effects and Plate Mechanics
Prioritize Targeting the Boss
The stage is cleared by defeating the central boss, Kaiju No. 10 (Giant Form), so focus your attacks on him. He uses ATK buffs to boost damage and DEF buffs for endurance, while also summoning minions. Try to trigger a Core Exposed state quickly to delay his actions.
Trigger Core Exposed on the Minions
The summoned minion, Preondactyl, is dangerous due to its fast Ultimate charge and self-destruct attack. It is highly effective to delay its actions by triggering Core Exposed before it can use its Ultimate. If your team's durability is an issue, utilize your Defender's skills.
| Note! | Be aware that simply triggering Core Exposed on a Preondactyl will not prevent its self-destruct attack. |
Tachikawa Second Half Stage 40 Tips
Tips for the Second Half
- Use Slash and Shot Characters
- Challenge Endurance Buffs with High Damage
- Use High-Damage Attacks at the Right Time
- Pay Attention to Ally Durability
Use Slash and Shot Characters
The boss of Stage 40's second half, "Dimensional Kaiju No. 1," possesses Slash and Shot Plates. Bringing Gen Narumi (Future Sight), who can damage both Slash & Shot Plates and randomly break Plates, makes it significantly easier to break the boss's defenses.
Challenge Endurance Buffs with High Damage
The boss uses the skill "Hyper-Sense" to fully restore its Plates and gain Damage Reduction. On its next turn, it will fully restore its Plates again and gain a Shield. While a Core Exposed state removes these effects, the boss has a high Plate count, making it tough to break them in time. Aim for a quick victory by buffing your allies' damage and focusing your attacks while the Core is Exposed.
Use High-Damage Attacks at the Right Time
The boss gains 1 turn of Damage Reduction with its skill "Hyper-Sense," and also grants itself a Shield based on the damage received before its next turn. Since the Plate's durability is high, it's recommended to save your high-damage attacks for when the Core is Exposed or after the Damage Reduction effect has ended.
Pay Attention to Ally Durability
The boss also uses an AoE attack for its Ultimate, which can deal over 1,000 damage, so be careful. Make sure to heal up before the boss's Ultimate and pay close attention to your allies' health.
Tachikawa Stage 40 Strategy Tips
Break Plates Efficiently
The enemies in Fierce Battle 40 possess Blunt, Shot, and Ice Plates in the first half, and Slash and Shot Plates in the second half. Efficiently break these Plates to trigger a Core Exposed state, which delays their actions and increases damage taken, then unleash your Ultimates.
Raise Characters to Level 100
If your character level is lower than the enemy's, you will take increased damage, making it harder to secure the "Win with 0 incapacitated units" objective. The enemies in Fierce Battle 40 are Level 100, so ensure your characters are raised to Lv. 100 before challenging them.
Level Weapons to 100
Ideally, raise your weapon levels as much as possible, aiming for Lv. 100. The enemies have high firepower, so increasing your Stats even slightly is vital for survivability.
