What to Do When You're Stuck in Ep.5
Level Up and Advance Breakthrough

Craft and Upgrade Equipment

By progressing through the Dimensional Rift, which unlocks as you advance through the story, you can obtain materials for Crafting high-rank equipment. Craft and upgrade high-rank equipment to raise your stats.
Upgrade Artifacts

Upgrading your equipped Artifacts will also raise your stats. Prioritize upgrading the equipment of your main damage-dealing characters and Assassin Role characters.
Prepare Cooking

If you are struggling in boss battles, prepare and use Cooking. The effects are temporary, but they increase Attack and HP, which gives you an advantage in combat.
How to Cook and Recommended Recipes
Upgrade Character Skills

Once you have finished upgrading your stats across the board, proceed to upgrade your skills as well. In particular, it is recommended to prioritize upgrading the Special Skill and Switch Skill, as they are used frequently.
Change the Difficulty to "Path of Dawn"

If you want to enjoy the story without getting stuck in boss battles, lowering the difficulty is also a recommended solution. By selecting "Path of Dawn" in the difficulty selection under "Controls" in Settings, enemy attack power and durability will decrease.
