Stable Node Stage 9 Characteristics

Faster Ultimate and Enhanced Damage
Important to Use Electric Attacks to Destroy Shield

Enhanced Ultimate Buff

In Stable Node Stage 9, it's easy to accumulate Decibels which is required for the Ultimate and your damage output is enhanced. You want to use your Ultimate when the enemy is Stunned, so use Skills such as Defensive Assist to build up Daze.

Ultimate Skill Guide

Destroy Shield with Weakness Attribute

Enemies in Stable Node Stage 9 have a shield that can be removed by inflicting an Attribute Anomaly of their Weakness type. So make sure to have characters with their weakness in the party to apply Attribute Anomalies to finish the battle quickly.

Attribute Anomaly Guide

Stage Attribute Compatibility

	Weakness	Resistance
Phase 1		None
Phase 2

Best Character & Team for Phase 1

Ice or Ether Attacker Team

			Bangboo
Ellen	Lycaon	Soukaku	Butler

Ice and Ether Attributes are advantageous in the first battle, so the best team comp is to have Ellen or Zhu Yuan. Having both to inflict Disorder can be very effective, so consider that if you think you can have both of them in the first team.

Replacement Candidates

Character	Details
Nicole	- Switch with Nicole - Even if you don't have Zhu Yuan, DEF Debuff can be useful
Zhu Yuan	- Switch with Ellen - Combine with Ice Attribute to inflict Disorder - Use together with Nicole
Anby	- Switch with Lycaon - Use only for the Daze

All Characters can be Used

Enemies in Phase 1 don't have any Attribute resistance, so any character can be used. So choose the characters for Phase 2 first, then use the strongest ones you have left for Phase 1.

Best Character & Team for Phase 2

Fire or Physical Attribute Attacker Team Comp

			Bangboo
Soldier 11	Koleda	Lucy	Safety

Fire and Physical Attributes are advantageous in Phase 2, so we recommend using Soldier 11 or Nekomata. Fire Attribute team comp is easy to assemble if you used Anby in Phase 1, and if not, a Physical Attribute team comp should be easy to assemble.

Tips!	A Disorder team comp for example Nekomata, Piper, Lucy is also recommended so consider choosing a Physical, Fire, or Disorder team.

Replacement Candidates

Character	Details
Nekomata	- Switch with Soldier 11 - Use for Physical or Disorder team comp
Billy	- Switch with Soldier 11 - Works well with Stage buffs - Large attack range is useful for dealing with multiple enemies at the start.
Anby	- Switch with Koleda - Can be used for both Daze and Shock - Be careful as it is not a Weakness attribute
Piper	- Switch with Koleda or Lucy - Team up with Lucy if possible - Best use is for removing shield

Ice Attribute Attacker is not Recommended

The boss enemy has Ice Attribute Resistance so all the Ice Attribute damage is reduced. It will not matter if the support character is Ice Attribute but having an Ice Attribute Attacker can make it difficult.

Stable Nodes Stage 9 Guide

Inflict Attribute Anomaly against the Boss

Boss Enemy will have Shield at the start. This shield can be remove by applying weakness Attribute Anomaly, so make sure to remove the shield first.

Tips!	It is possible to attack the boss without removing the shield, but it might take a long time to complete depending on your character.

Stun → Ultimate and Repeat

In Stable Node Stage 9, you can activate your Ultimate skill every time you Stun the boss thanks to the stage buff. So after removing the shield, repeat the process of quickly stunning the boss and then using your Ultimate.

Tips!	You can quickly Stun the boss using Defensive Assist but there is a limit to Support Points so be careful not to use it too much.

Prioritze Using Ultimate While Stunned

Player can use the Ultimate more frequently in Stable Node Stage 9 as it is easier to accumulate Decibels. You may want to use the Ultimate as soon as you can, but damage is increased when the boss is Stunned so use the Ultimate after you Stun the boss as much as possible.
