| Deadly Assault Enemies

>>>Phase 1<<<

Wandering Hunter

Weakness: Fire Ice / Resistances: Physical

• · Wandering Hunter's Base DEF increases by 40% in Miasmic Field; when an Agent hits Wandering Hunter with Assist Follow-Up or Dodge Counter, 1 stack of Wavering is applied. Wavering can stack up to 5 times and lasts 15 seconds. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

• When an Agent's attacks hit Wandering Hunter, for each stack of Wavering, the Agent's Sheer DMG is increased by 7%.

• During the hide-and-seek phase, using Perception Technique to break Drowned Ideal Lucia's true form will grant 3,000 Performance Points; Exposing his true form and activating Defensive Assist or Assist Follow-Up against Wandering Hunter will grant 2,000 Performance Points, up to a maximum of 5,000 points.

• Suitable for Agents with Rupture specialty.

 >Best Teams and Buffs

Yixuan +Ju Fufu + Lucia ( Buff 1 )

Yidhari + Lycaon + Lucia ( Buff 1 )

Evelyn + Lighter + Astra Yao ( Buff2)

Miyabi + Yuzuha + Soukaku ( Buff 3 )

Soldier 0-Anby + Trigger + Orphie & Magus ( Buff 2 )

>Suggestion

-Stay Clear of Miasmic Pools

The Wandering Hunter creates Miasmic Pools throughout the arena. Avoid stepping into them to prevent extra damage.

-Cleanse the Miasmic Barrier

The Wandering Hunter may summon a Miasmic Barrier. Remove it by using your Ultimates or performing Dodge Counters.

-Use Perception Technique During Miasmic Field

When the boss activates its Miasmic Field, target the Drowned Ideal Lucia emitting special energy with your Perception Technique. This breaks the illusion and weakens the boss’s upcoming attack.

>>>Phase 2<<<

Ye Shiyuan the Thrall

Weakness: Ice Physical / Resistances: Electric

• When Sobek and The Thrall alternate turns, The Thrall gains 1 stack of Contract and Self-Sacrifice. Contract and Self-Sacrifice can stack up to 3 times. Each stack of Contract increases All-Attribute Anomaly Buildup RES by 15%, each stack of Self-Sacrifice increases Stun DMG Multiplier by 10%. When The Thrall is Stunned, CRIT DMG taken increases by 50%.

• When Agents inflict Weakened on Sobek and The Thrall, 1,500 Performance Points will be awarded. When an Agent eliminates Sobek, 2,000 Performance Points will be awarded. Up to a maximum of 5,000 Performance Points can be earned.

• Suitable for Agents with Stun specialty.

> Best Teams and Buffs

Yixuan + Dialyn + Lucia ( Buff 1 )

Evelyn + Lighter + Astra Yao ( Buff2)

Miyabi + Lycaon + Soukaku ( Buff 3 )

Yidhari + Lycaon + Lucia ( Buff 1 )

Ellen + Dialyn + Astra Yao ( Buff 2 )

>Suggestion

-Fusion Attacks and Parry Opportunities

During the fight—especially early on—Ye Shiyuan and his Ethereal, Sobek, will leave the field and perform coordinated Fusion Attacks. These attacks come in several forms, and many of them can be perfectly parried.

-Weakened State and Counterattacks

Successfully parrying a Fusion Attack places both Ye Shiyuan and Sobek into a temporary weakened state, giving you an opening to counterattack. Because of this, it’s highly recommended to bring Agents who can reliably trigger Defensive Assists when facing Ye Shiyuan the Thrall.

-Sobek's Solo Phase

Later in the battle, Ye Shiyuan will withdraw completely and send Sobek to fight in his place. A portion of the damage Sobek takes will still be transferred to the Thrall, so you can continue fighting without worry. However, to force Ye Shiyuan back into the arena, you must defeat Sobek.

-Effective Combat Strategy Against Sobek

The most efficient way to defeat Sobek is to parry its strikes and follow up with your own attacks. Each successful parry restores 5 Energy to your active character, enabling more skills and higher damage output. Keep in mind that Sobek cannot be stunned and is immune to Attribute Anomalies.

>>>Phase 3<<<

Sacrifice - Bringer

Weakness: Ice / Resisstance: Physical

• Successfully interrupting a chant grants 2,000 Performance Points. A maximum of 5,000 Performance Points can be obtained.

• When inflicting an Attribute Anomaly or Disorder on a boss enemy, all squad members gain 1 stack of Laser Focus, stacking up to 6 times. Each stack of Laser Focus increases the Agent's ATK by 8%. With at least 3 stacks of Laser Focus, inflicting an Attribute Anomaly will increase its duration by 5s. When Sacrifice - Bringer attacks with his Sacrificial Knife, all squad members' Laser Focus stacks will be reset.

• Suitable for Agents with Anomaly specialty.

 >Best Teams and Buffs

Miyabi + Yuzuha + Soukaku ( Buff 3 )

Yidhari + Lycaon + Lucia ( Buff 1 )

Yixuan + Ju Fufu + Lucia ( Buff 1 )

Evelyn + Lighter + Astra Yao ( Buff2)



Soldier 0-Anby + Trigger + Orphie & Magus ( Buff 2 )

>Suggestion

-Use Ice Characters

Sacrifice – Bringer is weak to Ice damage, making Ice units the best choice for this fight. Avoid using Physical characters, as the boss resists Physical attacks.

-Watch for Attack Cues

Sacrifice – Bringer’s moves are slow and predictable. Look for golden attack cues and either dodge or trigger a Perfect Assist to counter. Perfect Assists can break its attack flow, giving you room to reposition or continue your offense.

-Destroy the Core

After its first HP bar is depleted, the boss will rise into the air and begin powering up, exposing a core beneath its body. Destroy this core immediately to force it back to the ground and briefly incapacitate it.

Failing to do so will cause the boss to enter a frenzied state and unleash a series of powerful, rapid attacks.

| Recommended Team Compositions Guide

In Deadly Assault , previously used Agents and Bangboo cannot be used again in the next battle. Each and every battle will require unique teams.

I believe you all have Yixuan and Miyabi, two Agents with high ownership rates and strong abilities, so I recommend building a team centered around them to tackle phase 1 and phase 3. I'm confident that by flexibly using these two Agents, you can score enough points in phase 1 and phase 3 to get 6-star.

As for phase 2, I would recommend building a team centered around Attack Agents like Soldier 0-Anby and Evelyn, avoiding the use of duplicate characters.

Phase 1

Yixuan +Ju Fufu +Lucia

Phase 2

Evelyn + Lighter + Astra Yao ( Buff2)

Phase 3

Miyabi + Yuzuha + Soukaku
