Shadow Kyle Advent Expedition Strategy Tips

Use Single-Target Physical Attackers to Whittle Down HP

Any 2+ Heroes
Sieg	Shane	Bai Long

Shadow Kyle reduces damage from magic attacks and skills that hit 2-5 targets, so attack with single-target physical attacks. Shane and Bai Long are Best for dealing damage easily.

Increase Shane's Skill Rotation

Shane's strength lies in her short cooldown (CT), so focus on raising her skill rotation rate without letting her CT go to waste. Using her skill on the first turn before setting up buffs is also a valid strategy.

Focus on Damage Buffs to Strengthen Your Team

Highly Versatile Damage Buffs
Lina	Biscuit	Kagura	Miho
Clemyth	Deo	Xiao	Black Rose
Physical Damage Buffs
Lu Bu	Guan Yu	Sieg	Sunran
Dellons	Karl Heron	Eileene	Hellenia
Yui	May
Highly Versatile Survivability-Reducing Debuffs
Biscuit	Ace	Elysia	Randgrid
Physical Survivability-Reducing Debuffs
Taka	Fai	Kagura (T6)	Karl Heron

Shadow Kyle uses a debuff removal skill, so focus on buffing your allies' damage rather than using debuffs. That said, survivability-reducing debuffs from always-active passive skills are still viable to use against Shadow Kyle.

Tips!	It's fine to use survivability-reducing debuff skills when you can time it for a moment when the enemy isn't using its debuff removal skill.

Manage HP with Healing and Barriers

Barrier-Granting Heroes
Evan	Rook	Asura	Xiao
Deo

HP Recovery Heroes
Alice	Yui	Lina	Lucy
Lee Joohee	Deo	Clemyth	Heavenia

When your party's HP starts to drop, prioritize recovering with healing. Lina, who can also apply a Damage Boost, and Hellenia, who can provide physical damage buffs and survivability-reducing debuffs, are especially Best.

Round 2 Begins with Your Remaining Turns

If you defeat Shadow Kyle in Round 1 within the 70-turn limit, Round 2 will begin using your remaining turns. The strategy is the same, but since you use a different party for each round, you'll need to prepare two Team Comps with a similar focus.

Using Your Stronger Team Comp in Round 1 Is Also an Option

The enemy's level is higher in Round 2, but it's pointless if you can't clear Round 1. If clearing Round 1 is difficult, use your stronger Team Comp in Round 1, and first aim to clear Round 1 within the turn limit.

Tips!	Only once you're able to clear Round 1 quickly with your sub Team Comp will you be able to use a stronger Team Comp in Round 2 to further boost your score.

Progress Through Ultimate Enhancement, Transcendence, and Other Upgrades

To clear Round 1, upgrades such as Ultimate Enhancement, Transcendence, and Skill Enhancement are essential. In particular, prioritizing Ultimate Enhancement and Skill Enhancement for your attackers is Best, since it makes it easy to significantly increase your damage.

Best Round 1 Team Comps

Shane + Randgrid Team

Team Comp / Formation: Balanced

Guan Yu

Randgrid

Rachel

Shane

Lu Bu

Buff

Sub-DPS
Debuff

Buff/Debuff

Main DPS

Buff/Debuff

This build places Shane and Randgrid in the Back Row. If everyone's damage output is high enough, an 8-turn clear using Randgrid↑Rachel↑Shane↑ is also possible.

Tips!	Equipping Shane with Damage Amplification dedicated equipment makes an 8-turn clear easier to achieve.

Target Stats

Hero	Target Stats	Notes
Guan Yu	3500+	Higher is better
	90%+	Higher reduces score variance
	200%+	Higher is better
Rachel	4000+	Higher is better
	90%+	Higher reduces score variance
	200%+	Higher is better
Lu Bu	4500+	Higher is better
	90%+	Higher reduces score variance
	200%+	Higher is better
Randgrid	4500+	Higher is better
	~90%	Higher reduces score variance
	200%+	Higher is better
	~50%	~90% with passive buff
Shane	~5000	Higher is better
	50%-60%	93%-100% with passive buff
	~300%	Higher is better
	If you have extra points to spare

Prioritize gear for Shane and Randgrid, and if you have room to spare, raising Crit on the other 3 characters as well will increase your chances of an 8-turn clear. If you're aiming for a 12-turn clear, it's fine even if you don't fully meet the target values.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Guan Yu
Rachel
Lu Bu
Randgrid
Shane

Rachel, Randgrid, and Shane use skills, so a Ring of Subjugation + Ring of Siege combo works best for them. For Guan Yu and Lu Bu, a Boss Ring refined to cover missing stats, or a Ring of Vengeance refined for increased damage dealt, is the best choice.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alternative	Alternative	Low Rarity
Jeo	Eirin	Igris	Sherry

For pets, aiming for a quick clear with Jeo is best. If you don't have Jeo, use Eirin or the rare collab pet Igris as a substitute.

Alternative Characters

Main Pick	Alternative	Notes
Rachel	Xiao	Alternative for the durability debuff
Lu Bu	Fai	Alternative for the durability debuff

If you don't have or haven't upgraded the best characters, using the heroes above as substitutes is a valid option. Try out different combinations based on your roster and find the team comp that clears fastest.

Skill Usage Order

0T

4T

8T

If you're aiming for an 8-turn clear, the skill order above works best. If you can't finish the boss off, try adding Guan Yu↓'s skill, or aim for a 12-turn clear with a skill order like Shane↑Rachel↑Randgrid↑Shane↑.

Shane + Fai Team

Team Comp Formation: Balanced

Guan Yu

Fai

Rachel

Shane

Randgrid

Buff

Sub-DPS
Debuff

Buff/Debuff

Main DPS

Debuff

This team comp places Shane and Fai in the Back row. If everyone's damage output is high enough, you can even pull off an 8-turn clear with Fai↑Rachel↑Shane↑.

Tips!	Equipping Shane with a Dedicated Equipment that boosts Damage Amplification makes it easier to aim for an 8-turn clear.

Target Stats

Hero	Target Stats	Notes
	3500~	The higher, the better
	90%~	The higher, the less your score fluctuates
	200%~	The higher, the better

	Optional, if you have room to spare
	around 5000	The higher, the better
	50%-60%	93%-100% with passive buffs
	around 300%	The higher, the better
	Optional, if you have room to spare

Prioritize gear for Shane and Fai first, and if you have room to spare, raising Crit on the other three heroes as well improves your chances of an 8-turn clear. If you're aiming for a 12-turn clear, it's fine even if you don't fully hit the target stats.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Guan Yu
Rachel
Randgrid
Fai
Shane

For skill-users Rachel/Fai/Shane, the Ring of Subjugation x Ring of Siege combo is best. For Guan Yu/Randgrid, a Boss Ring with a Refine for whichever stat you're lacking, or a Ring of Vengeance with a Damage Boost Refine, is best.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alt	Alt	Low Rarity
Jeo	Eirin	Igris	Sherry

For pets, Jeo is best for going for a quick clear. If you don't have Jeo, substitute with Eirin or the rare collab pet Igris.

Substitute Heroes

Original	Substitute	Notes
	Xiao	Alternative for durability-reducing debuffs
	Lu Bu	Alternative for durability-reducing debuffs

If you don't have or haven't upgraded the Best heroes, using the heroes above as substitutes works fine. Try different combinations based on what you own, and find the comp that clears fastest for you.

Skill Rotation

0T

4T

8T

If you're aiming for an 8-turn clear, the skill order above is best. If you can't finish the boss off, try adding Guan Yu's↓ skill, or aim for a 12-turn clear with a skill order like Shane↑Rachel↑Fai↑Shane↑.

Best Round 2 Team Comps

Bai Long Team

Team Comp Formation: Defense

Biscuit

Lina

Bai Long

Heavenia

Dellons

Buff/Debuff

Buff/Debuff
Heal

Main DPS
Heal

Buff/Debuff
Heal

Sub-DPS
Buff

Lina, Heavenia, and Bai Long provide fairly stable healing, and the team also puts out solid damage. Using Defense Reduction or Physical Vulnerability skills right after Kyle's Debuff Removal makes it easier to boost your score.

Target Stats

Hero	Target Stats	Notes
	100%	Increases Status Ailment Ring's proc rate
	18000~	Boosts Outgoing Healing
	4200~	Rank 3rd or lower in party Speed
	90%~	Higher values reduce score variance
	200%~	Higher is better
	(50%~)	If you have room
	~5000	Rank 1st-2nd in party Speed
	~90%	Higher values reduce score variance
	220%~	Higher is better
	~40%	Around 90% with Biscuit's buff
	~5000	Rank 1st-2nd in party Speed
	60%-70%	93%-100% with passive buff
	~300%	Higher is better
	~40%	Around 90% with Biscuit's buff

Keep Attack high on Bai Long and Dellons so Biscuit's buff can trigger on them. While securing enough Crit Rate and Weakness Hit Chance, raising Crit Damage further makes it easier to reach a score of 6,000,000.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Biscuit
Lina
Heavenia
Dellons
Bai Long

Equip your three physical attackers with the Avenger Set and a Boss Damage Ring. For the support role, Biscuit and Lina should equip a Status Ailment Ring to chip away at HP, even just a little.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alternative	Alternative	Low Rarity
Windy	Eirin	Igris	Sherry

Windy, who can inflict Boss Vulnerability, is the best pet to use. If you don't have her, use Eirin or the collab-exclusive rare pet Igris instead.

Alternate Heroes

Main	Alternate Hero	Notes
	Fai	Alternate for the Sub-DPS role
	Lu Bu	Alternate for the Sub-DPS role
	Sieg	Alternate for the Damage Buff role
	Xiao	Alternate for the Survivability Debuff & Survivability Boost roles

If you don't have or haven't built up the Best Heroes listed above, it's fine to use these alternates instead. Compared to Dellons, if your Fai is more developed, running Fai instead may give you more stability.

Skill Rotation

The rotation above assumes you clear Round 1 in 8 turns. Keep in mind to prioritize Bai Long's skills to speed up your rotation, and to apply Lina's or Heavenia's debuffs right after Kyle's Debuff Removal.

Tips!	Heavenia tends to get knocked out late in the fight. If that happens, raise her HP and Defense Potential, or use something like a Guts Ring to compensate.
