The Special Tsukishiro Special Offensive Stage is a Solo Battle With Yanagi

The Special Offensive, unlocked after clearing the prerequisite stages, features a unique Solo Combat Buff which is different from the other stages. You can take the challenge either with a trial version of Yanagi or your own. Use this opportunity to practice controlling Yanagi.

Rewards include Tuning Calibrator and Polychromes

Tuning Calibrator

Polychromes

As you complete the Immersive Tactical Drill, you will receive Tuning Calibrator and Polychrome as rewards. In particular, the Tuning Calibrator is a valuable item that is rarely available, so be sure to collect it during the period.

Tips!	The Tuning Calibrator is used for fixing the main stats of Advanced Tuning starting from Inter-Knot Level 40 and beyond

Virtual Battlefield Mayhem Stage 1 Defense

Stage Effect

Stage 1 Defense have a buff to attack power based on maintaining Shield effects.Try forming your own team with Caesar, and choose attackers that can exploit Physical and Fire Weaknesses.

Trial Team Composition

			Bangboo
Nekomata	Caesar	Lucy	Paperboo

This trial team is focused on maintaining Shield, which is also the condition for the buff. Since the Trial Lucy is does not have any unlocked Mindscape Cinema, so to maintain the buffs, replace it with your own Lucy especially if you have unlocked its C6 to extend the duration of the effects.

Tips on How to Use the Trial Team

• Always maintain Caesar's Shield
• Use Lucy at the Final Chain Attack During Stun
• Remove the armor of a heavy striker with Stun

Always maintain Caesar's Shield

In Stage 1, you can earn an ATK buff of 2,400 points by maintaining the Shield for 15 seconds. Build up the Shield with Caesar's EX Special Attack at the beginning and continue fighting until the end of the battle.

Tips!	Just guard. You can reuse Shield with less energy cost by using the power or Defensive Assist

Use Lucy at the Final Chain Attack During Stun

Nekomata's damage will be significantly increased for a short time after participating in Quick Assist. To maximize this effect, especially during Stun, use Lucy as the final stage of the Chain Attack and have Nekomata appear with Quick Assist.

Remove the Armor of a Heavy Striker With Stun

Shields used by heavy strikers will be canceled, regardless of remaining durability, when Stun, Assault, or Burn is applied. If you're using the trial team formation, aim to execute an EX Special Attack's Just Guard with Caesar and cause Stun at once.

Virtual Battlefield Mayhem Stage 2 Energy

Stage Effect

Stage 2 Energy has energy recovery UP and EX Special Attack firepower enhancement buff. The trial version of Burnice synergizes well with this stage effect, so try to form your team around her.

Trial Team Composition

			Bangboo
Burnice	Jane	Piper	Bagboo

This trial consists of 3 Anomaly attackers. You can clear the mission as is, but having 3 attackers can make things tricky, so it is recommended to replace the trial version of Piper with a supporter like Caesar or Lucy.

Tips on How to Use the Trial Team

• Fight while keeping Scorched around Burnice
• Aim for Disorder with Jane or Piper after inflicting Burn
• Burnice's Ultimate is recommended

Fight while keeping Scorched around Burnice

The enemies in Stage 2 have Fire Weaknesses, and the stage effects increase the damage and usage frequency of EX Special Attacks. Start by focusing on Burnice's Basic Attacks and EX Special Attack, and continue fighting until you apply the Burn debuff.

Tips!	Burnice's EX Special Attack has high Anti-Interrupt, and there is an Invulnerable judgment at the beginning and end of the injection, so the attack is easy to dodge.

Aim for Disorder With Jane or Piper After Inflicting Burn

Use Burnice to inflict Burn on the Elite enemies, then switch to Jane or Piper and aim for Disorder as you fight. By the time you apply Assault, Burnice’s energy will have recovered significantly, making it easier to continue fighting with Burnice.

Burnice's Ultimate is Recommended

Burnice's Ultimate not only accumulates Burn and recovers Heat, but also allows the next ally to perform a Quick Assist. You can quickly switch through Disorder, so once Decibels are accumulated, changed back to Burnice.

Stage 3 Disorder

Stage Effect

In stage 3 Disorder, the damage will increase significantly each time you cause a disorder. Since the Attribute Anomaly duration is extended, build a team around the trial version of Yanagi as the main DPS, supported by two other Anomaly characters with Weakness Attributes.

Trial Team Composition

			Bangboo
Burnice	Yanagi	Seth	Electroboo

This trial version team is composed of Burnice and Yanagi, focused on inflicting Disorders. Since the high-firepower Attribute Anomaly and Yanagi's Disorder Buff are both powerful, these two are fixed, and you can replace Seth's slot with a supporter like Caesar.

Tips on How to Use the Trial Team

• Mainly use Yanagi in combat to Sustain Celestial Harmony
• Fight Elite enemies until they receive Burn at the start
• Yanagi's Ultimate is recommended

Mainly Use Yanagi in Combat to Sustain Celestial Harmony

Yanagi’s Shinrabanshou Buff makes the 3rd to 5th hits of her Basic Attack loop extremely powerful. After entering the battle, start with an EX Special Attack immediately, and once you enter the Shinrabanshou State, unleash 2 Basic Attacks. Then, switch Stance with a Special Attack, followed by two more Basic Attacks and repeat.

Tips!	It's a good idea to test Yanagi's performance in battle here as the controls of the trial version is the same as the on you can get from the gacha

Fight Elite Enemies Until They Receive Burn at the Start

Using EX Special Attack immediately after Yanagi appears will also cause Polarity Disorder, so use Burnice to inflict Burn before Yanagi appears. However, this time the enemy has Fire resistance, so it is recommended that you do not appear for a long time like in Stage 2, and chain attacks to Yanagi as soon as possible after inflicting Burn.

Yanagi's Ultimate is recommended

This time, Electric Weaknesses and Disorder firepower have been greatly strengthened, so use the Ultimate on Yanagi, who can also cause Polarity Disorder. Polarity Disorder's damage will be greater if you can inflict Shock right before Ultimate or during Ultimate itself.

Stage 4 Chain Attack

Stage Effect

In Stage 4 Chain Attack, the enemy's Stun recovery speed will be shortened while the Chain Attack DMG will be greatly increased, making it easier for attackers specializing in Chain Attacks to play an active role in dealing massive damage against Stunned enemies.

Trial Team Composition

			Bangboo
Soldier 11	Koleda	Ben	Cryboo

This trial version setup is a Fire Specialty Build that takes advantage of the synergy between Koleda and Ben. The trial version of Koleda, who specializes in handling powerful Chain Attack Buffs, is fixed, while the remaining two slots can be swapped with your available Fire Physical attackers or Stun characters.

Tips on How to Use the Trial Team

• Actively aim for Defensive Assist to accumulate Daze
• Use Koleda's EX Special Attack to apply Debuffs against Elites
• Focus on Koleda's Dodge Counters during the Second Wave

Actively Aim for Defensive Assist to Accumulate Daze

Both Koleda and Ben have excellent Defensive Assist abilities and can accumulate Daze quickly. Before Stun, use Soldier 11 as your main DPS attacker and accumulate Defensive Assist with Koleda and Ben.

Use Koleda's EX Special Attack to apply Debuffs against Elites

Koleda's EX Special Attack comes with the powerful effect of Chain Skill Enhancement, which goes well with the stage effects.

Short press to use EX Special Attack or the second Basic Attack → EX Special Attack has little downtime and is easy to use, so use this before stunning the Elite enemies.

Tips!	Koleda and Ben's enhanced basic attack combo has a slight delay and can be easily evaded by enemies by dashing, so you don't need to aim for it.

Focus on Koleda's Dodge Counters during the Second Wave

During the Wave 2 in Frontline, the enemy mainly uses long-range attacks, making it difficult to get Defensive Assist. On the other hand, Perfect Dodge is relatively easy to pull off, so you should aim for an early Stun with Koleda's Dodge Counter.

Stage 5 Assist Alliance

Stage Effect

In Stage 5 Assist Alliance, following Ultimates are strengthened based on Perfect Assists like Defensive Assist and Evasive Assist. Decibels are also easy to accumulate, so you can actively aim for Perfect Assists and use your Ultimate repeatedly.

Trial Team Composition

			Bangboo
Zhu Yuan	Anby	Nicole	Devilboo

This trial team setup features an Ether composition built around Zhu Yuan. If you have Qingyi or any other high-performing character with parry abilities, it is recommended switching them for Anby's slot to make it easier to stun.

Tips on How to Use the Trial Team

• Actively aim for Defensive Assist to build up Daze
• Activate Zhu Yuan's Ultimate Frequently
• Use Nicole's Energy Field + Zhu Yuan's Ultimate or Enhanced Basic Attack During Stun

Actively Aim for Defensive Assist to Build Up Daze

In Stage 5, aim for Defensive Assist, accumulate Decibels, and activate the powerful Ultimate Buff. You can also aim for a Stun if you use Anby's or Nicole's Defensive Assist.

Tips!	If you Use Anby's Defensive Assist to Stun → Nicole's Chain Attack to gather enemies → Zhu Yuan Quick Assist, so you can quickly defeat minor enemies.

Activate Zhu Yuan's Ultimate Frequently

Decibels can be quickly accumulated, so there's no need to wait for Stun or stage Buff effects to build up. Feel free to use Zhu Yuan's Ultimate and combine it with Nicole's Energy Field.

Use Nicole's Energy Field + Zhu Yuan's Ultimate or Enhanced Basic Attack During Stun

Zhu Yuan PT's main source of damage is Zhu Yuan's Ultimate and enhanced basic attacks while Nicole's Energy Field is active. If you have enough Decibels, use her Ultimate skill, if not, use her enhanced Basic Attack.

Virtual Battlefield Mayhem Tsukishiro Special Offensive

Use Ex Special Attack At the Start to trigger Celestial Harmony faster

In this special battle stage, you have enough energy to start with a special attack, so hold down once and use EX Special Attack to activate Celestial Harmony. The basic attack Tsukuyomi Kagura has been strengthened, making it easier to fight around.

Two Sets of Normal Attacks → Switching Stances is Basic

It is important for Yanagi to fight while maintaining two self-buffs by switching stances. Once you enter the Shinrabashou state, you can switch Stance with 2 Basic Attacks and Special Attack, with it immediately transitioning into the third move of the Basic Attack of the current stance.

After that, use EX Special Attack again to apply Shock

Tips!	Most damage can be prevented since there are many instances of Invulnerable and Guard
